Thanks for the comment and sharing thoughts about your preferences.

@@blackhawkbushcraft thank you for letting me express my opinions and experience I also go back to my Dexter Russell bc it slices like a laser and I got spoiled with how it cuts XD

@@billythekidd623you’re welcome, bro. I always appreciate a good variety of options based on others’ experience. It adds a lot of value and gives folks the opportunity to think of things that maybe they hadn’t thought about before.

🤣 I picked this music just for you. Glad you loved it!

Absolutely use it. 👍 I’ve owned it for a few years now and EDC it almost every day. It’s a great EDC/general utility combo edge and is holding up great and going strong. The most noticeable wear is on the pocket clip and back of the blade, as the straight section is no longer a chisel grind-more micro-beveled now. Thanks for the question and comment.

@@blackhawkbushcraft thanks for the answer. That's holding up amazing!

@@YourAverageReviewsIt’s been a great knife and I’ve got no complaints. I haven’t used an older Recon-1, so I have nothing to compare it to as far as old vs. new, blade finish, etc.

@@blackhawkbushcraft I can tell you from experience the old coating is probably just painted and so after a few hard cuts you can tell it's been used. The new DLC looks like it holds up much better than just paint 😅

Not my favorite in a zero grind-chippy! I don’t mind A2 with a secondary bevel or full convex. Seems to solve the problem for me.

Thanks for the comment! Much appreciated! 👍

I bet that MK1 in AEB-L is a beaut! 👍

Haha! 😂 Love it! 👍

@@jimbusmaximus4624 Another +1 for the scandi. 👍😁 Thanks for the comment, mate.

Thanks for the comment, mate. There are other knives I also enjoy using and they are good knives, but Rob’s edges are pure magic for firecraft and working wood.

Im another who much prefers Robs knives , ive got a Mk1 already and waiting on one of his bushtools . Ive owned everything from Mora's through to a Ben Orford woodlander ( another great maker ) but Robs edges are exceptional .

@@justinjewell8329thanks for the comment. I haven’t tried and don’t own an Ordord knife yet, but have heard great things about them. I will say, however, that I am extremely partial to Rob’s knives. For me, they just work and have become my gold standard.

@@blackhawkbushcraft i was very fortunate to win my mark 1 in one of Robs buy me a coffee drawers earlier this year and i was so impressed ive been saving ever since for one of his bushtools , i really rate my Woodlander and would recomend Bens blades without hesitation . i just prefer Robs grind on both the edge and spine . By the way a great channel mate , ive subscribed .

@@justinjewell8329 Rob’s coffee comps are the best! 👍 And thanks for the sub, mate. I really appreciate it.

Thank you. It’s among three top most beautiful places I’ve seen in my life and I know I haven’t even skimmed the surface of all the beauty this world has to offer.

Very nice! 👍 Enjoy the Mora and thanks for the comment.

Life manager! 😂 Love it!

my favorite maker first grinds a 10 dps scandi, then hand sharpens a really small micro bevel on it and convexes the shoulders to make it full height convex. It is such an amazing grind that I cannot recommend enough. Seemingly good at everything.

Agreed! With that blade height, high saber all the way! 👍

What do you like about the blade height? I never get an answer to this

@@abbeybremner4162 it definitely is a preference thing for sure. You do get used to it and no guard/slight guard works great IMO.

@@roostershooter76 how cool! 😀 A mountain troll showed up to take a 💩💩💩 in the comments section! It’s usually the cave trolls that do this, so this is truly a unique honor!

I know, right? We showed up and barely missed them because they had left moments earlier to go slaughter an orc hoard. If only we had arrived 10min earlier!

Andy, many for the tip, buddy! 👍 I wasn’t aware of that. I use InShot when I capture using my phone because I can quickly edit, and use different editing software when using my laptop and action cam. I’ll remember this and try it out on the next phone edit. 👍 I hate the watermark!

Holy cow! 😂 Man, they made the little “x” down in the corner by the watermark barely noticeable, haha! 🤣 Found it and can remove it now going forward. 😁👍 Thanks again, mate! 💪👊

@@blackhawkbushcraft all I ever use is inshot so I have the paid version. When I sent my phone for a swim I used my wife's phone and had to use the free version. I cursed that watermark for 20 min. Before finding how to get rid of it🤣. Glad I could help.😃

@@Anndyinthewoods 😂

Hey there, pal! Thanks for the comment. That’s awesome! They were a couple of airborne troopers, eh? Too cool! 👍

@@blackhawkbushcraft yeah if I weren't colour blind I would have tried to join too 🙄🙄but now I just try to copy them in my own way 😆

@@ELUSIVEDARTMOOR ain’t nothin’ wrong with doing things your own way, brother. So maybe you couldn’t serve due to colorblindness, but that in no way diminishes your value, buddy. I learned a lot during my army days, but I’m leaps and bounds ahead of where I was during my service days 25 years ago, much to the credit of many good folks where weren’t able to wear a uniform.

Hey, thanks so much, mate. Really appreciate it. 👍 Just subbed to yours, too. I now want a kydex compass case for my MC2. 💪👊

@@blackhawkbushcraft oh thanks 😊 yeah it's a good one giving tips to help each other is good cheers for watching 👌👌

Awesome, mate. 👍 Thanks so much for the sub! I appreciate it.

Good info! 👍 Thanks for sharing and for the comment.

I have heard a really small micro bevel will not really affect wood cutting performance much at all, but will toughen the edge to reduce rolling/chipping

@@ShoahBiz I find it does make a difference in precision cuts since it slightly alters the "bite angle" of the knife. Not a problem when cutting branches and notches, only if you need to make really straight/precise cuts when carving something complex. It does strengthen the edge from rolling, but not as much as raising the whole bevel angle. Of course that depends what size you call a microbevel.

Yessir! Particular wood choices and/or full of knots can be not very kind to a scandi edge.

Agreed! 👍

Very cool! 👍 Thanks for the comment and sharing this info.

Very awesome! Another +1 for the scandi grind. 👍 Thanks for the comment.

Yessir! 👍 He’s the Jedi Master of Scandi.

Don’t recall saying that at all. I believe I recall saying that, depending on the scandi edge, a zero grind may need a micro bevel to avoid chipping or rolling. Some scandi knives are ground very shallow, so you either add the microbevel or convex the edge, or just deal with the chipping/rolling if you want to maintain a true zero.

@@blackhawkbushcraft microbevel ruins a true scandi.

@@mattnejmanowski631 please don’t lose sleep over it, my friend. 😄 Truth be told, I’m much more worried about folks cutting a potato widthwise and ruining a good french fry. Now that would be something to lose sleep over.

Sounds like you got some way more advanced carving skills than I. 👍

@@dmitryk754 A nice convex is a treat to use for sure! 👍

seedy lot uses a 10dps scandi grind that he adds a tiny microbevel on and then convexes all the shoulders to a full height convex. It is amazing.

@@RobEvansWoodsman but will the Busse INFI steel throw sparks off the spine into my belly button lint and help me start a fire like using 1095 when I find myself separated from or losing all my other gear except for my knife which I never lose? I find myself in those situations all the time because that’s the reality of survival.

@@blackhawkbushcraft brother it'll command the forces of nature and light your fire with it's sheer awesomeness.

@@RobEvansWoodsman Sounds like just unsheathing such a beauty near a piece of meat will render it well done in less than a minute! 😄

@@RobEvansWoodsman I just called a knife shop in Indiana and spoke to a Dan, Dale, Dave-can’t remember for sure. Anyway, I told him I was considering their 10-inch scandi ground 3/32 stock 1095 knife, but now thinking about the Busse because it can start a fire with pure awesomeness. He told me to seriously reconsider because the Busse is not scandi ground and that using pure awesomeness to start a fire has never been done on survival reality TV and to stick with what’s been tried and tested in front of TV producers and executive directors, even if it is sensationalized, made up, and not real. He said even if I have to run around the mountainside in nothing but a drafty loin cloth in search of some tinder fungus, a very thin 1095 scandi ground knife and a flint will keep me alive, whereas a Busse will not because it is not scandi ground and doesn’t have a curly maple handle. I’m really torn now!

Agree +100. 😄 I love me a nice scandi grind. 👍

The Knife Connection (TKC) did a collab with LT a Christmas season or two ago to offer what looked to me like the Pronghorn but with a longer handle. They called it the Boattail, exclusively available through TKC. I could totally see Ethan (TKC owner) doing another run of those.

@@blackhawkbushcraft that would be incredible. The Lagom also has a really nice and ergonomic handle for wood work.

Scandi edge knives are great for sure! 👍

Thanks, bro. It’s a solid performer. 👍

Agree x 3000. I’ve found that some knives that work well for others aren’t a good fit for me for one or more reasons. A wise wizard once told me that the knife very much chooses its master. Or maybe I heard that in a movie ir something. 😄

Great knife maker and just an all-around good guy! 👍 So, did BPS draw inspiration from Rob’s FTP or what???? Holy crap! It looks very similar to his FTP.

Another commenter also referenced the Pronghorn. I mentioned to him that The Knife Connection (TKC) did a limited run collaboration with LT a while back, which was pretty much the Pronghorn but with a longer handle. I saw it and thought to myself, “All the Pronghorn users are going to love this!” 😄
