Edit: I almost pulled this video and re-edited it but I've decided to let it run. Read below: I reprofiled the edge again and have done additional testing. I have further thoughts on the knife and will post a follow-up review if anyone is interested. I'm not sure if it's worth it as this is now a discontinued model. let me know in the comments if anyone is interested in another video. A quick l...

Are These Tusk D-Flex Hand Guards Going to Work Great With My 7/8" ProTaper Sport Handlebars?
I've beaten mine to absolute Hell and back. Still works perfectly fine 6 years later w 1 battery change as of yet last year. Just FYI I've had G shocks and nh35 watches fail me but never my inox. It even worked when I once pulled a cabin on a sled w a snowmobile for 16 hours straight in temps below -40C. I had it on top of my jacket becuase it was so cold the phone battery would die immediatley.
This knife is the embodiment of extreme done right. Thing has devastating cuts.
"escanaba in da moonlight".
I've owned this knife for a long long time. It sat in my camping gear until 3 years ago. I live in Ukraine and deliver aid to the front 2 to 3 times a week. I now carry this on my hip, lashed to my leg. I can say without a doubt, it has taken a beating and has done things knives should not be able to do and survive. I modified it about 4 years ago to be more camping friendly. I took the bevel from 25 degrees and small to about a 1/4 bevel and 20 degrees. I know I know, crazy to do to this thing, but it has not skipped a beat and is no worse for wear. It does however, slice better. It does not keep an edge but it was the reason I bought it in the first place. I wanted to be able to sharpen it on a rock if needed. I bought the Ranger series rd-6 just last week and it is just as monstrous as the NS. would recommend this thing to just about anyone.
710 or 912 for EDC ?
@@Barelo actually I love the 912 but I find the smooth stainless a bit too slick. I think the smaller size and slight texturing on the frame would make the 710 better for EDC.
@@SuburbanPathfinder thanks!

@@ajm2872 😂😂😂
Holy crows I haven't seen one of these in a long time. One hefty, tough, beast of a knife! I've used my NS6 as an axe and can confirm that finish is tough. What a great find!! ✌🏼
@@jimbusmaximus4624 I think Chicago Knife Works still has some.
@@SuburbanPathfinder I looked, nothing from the ranger series. I think you were lucky wherever you found that! Those are awesome blades!

lost mine and not happy
@@johnmaccallum7935 oh man, that sucks. Hopefully it turns up.
@@SuburbanPathfinder I didn't know what I had till I saw your upload yesterday and it made my loss all the worse.
And again. PS: check the Skmei 1278.
I agree that it would be a lot more practical in a boat or vehicle. That said, in many miles of canoe camping I can't recall when I might have wanted anything like that. The SRK is about the most robust knife I would want to take, especially if there are more than a couple of portages.
Not a fan of recurved edge but it seems solid
@@guaporeturns9472 it's a tank.
I like Ontario but their grinds are ridiculously thick behind the edge. More of a shovel or pry bar than a knife. Expect to spend a couple of days reprofiling. That might be a fun project for some. I can dig it. You can get a really good sheath with Condor knives.
@@user-fs7df1xg9v yes. I reprofiled this thing twice now. I honed it and stropped it. The edge gleams like a razor. But the geometry is terrible. The edge cuts fine but everything behind the edge gouges through a sheet of paper like a snow plow. I’m thinking I might hand this one over to my wife for digging weeds out of the garden.
What a cool review! Greetings for that!🍻 I maybe lucky to find one these days, but I'll share later if happens. 😉 Edit: It's here! It's here!😊 I took it yesterday and I like it a lot. Aaand.... It's new with warranty.😊 Very comfortable. The menu is very simple and easy to handle. Cheers everyone!🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
@@MrElRockero oh wow! Cool! I didn't know these are still available. It's a very cool watch. I think you'll enjoy it.
@@SuburbanPathfinder Not available, just got lucky for one of the very last units in local store. :) 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Nice sir
You can never have too may knifes, can you? I see you keep some collectibles and unused spare ones around as emediate replacement. My story is I bought one Mora companion style knife then missplaced it, thougt I've lost it. Next I bought a second one. Then I found the first again in my garage. So its not a bad idea to have at least two. Doubles the chance you can find at least one if you need it.😉 Something I've noticed with both of mine is that the spine is hollowed out roughth and unfinished black inside. First what I thought is a production flaw now makes me wonder if its meant to be this way since I see it's the same Hollow spine with your "robust" knife at minute 23:27. But anyway my theory is that it's a production flaw and the spine is unfortunately always the outside of a biger rolled flat metal sheet where the knifes are sawen out to save cost and material. Cant complayn too much they are cheap and handy. I alread thougt of grinding the spine down to a flat nineteen degrees but then I possible could scratch the handle and then I may also replace the handle with something more durable like wood or staked leather. But we will see I haven't tried to spark a rod with the hollow spine. Im also not a big fan of the rubber overmold handle. Typicaly in a few jears this rubber disintegrates gets stiky and falls appart. But maybe it's the type of rubber that just gets hard and brittle over time, not shure but time will tell. Any long time experience with the durability of the rubber handle?
@@maxpayne3779 all of the spines on the lower priced Moras have that rough, stamped-out finish. I have made a ninety degree spine on a couple of them with a file. I just received a Companion Heavy-Duty today and it has a finished spine. The other, more expensive, models I've seen have finished spines. But, so far, the Companion Heavy Duty is the least expensive I've seen. I don't really care for the rubber overmold on the older Companions. It is thin and I thought it would disintegrate quickly, but it hasn't. The green Companion I talked about carrying in the Army is 20+ years old and still holding up fine. The rubber looks cheesy but seems to be of high quality.
"Just a quick look at all of my Scandinavian knives.." 😀 I loved it actually and did not get bored. I have a couple of the Scandi knives still around. There is one in the spare tire compartment of the SUV just in case.
@@oom-george 😂
Sure, there are other knife channels, but only Greg can find a way to talk about working on RTTY equipment in a retrospective of Swedish field knives :D

I got one of these when they came out. Was one of my favorite folders, I wish they still made them. Even used ones are hard to find.
Nice and original design,but quartz afraid me,i had a vintage tissot quartz and when i have a problem tissot just say me there is no more repair for this quartz mouvment and its finish for this watch,i am afraid it will be the same with any quartz mouvment who are vintage...
From a practical standpoint, the Ironman is far superior to the G-shock. That screen on the g-shock is so cluttered and the actual time is tiny. The strap on the Ironman is also perfect in my opinion. They got the digital watch dialed in perfectly.
Hi and thank you for this unboxing. I could not find this one in Rado website. Where ddid your wife get it? The White dial is a killer but UTL.
@@RobertoSagredo I think she got it from Ashford.
Also not available to ship to Hungary... 😮💨And this is a tru no date watch, what I like very much.
Cqc 9k's better.
I concur. Got 2 BlackOuts. Like yours but black blades, not perforated. 1 serrated, the other fine. Lost clip on one. Not available anymore. Great, great knives. Still love them.
@@bobscar327 I always preferred the Blackout. I don't really like the perforated blade. But, as I recall, the Blackout was more expensive so I bought the Whirlwind.
I think it’s because there will be times such as the afternoon of December 31 in the United States where it’s already January 1 of the next calendar year in Europe or Asia. You need to be able to set different years in situations like that.
Great review I just picked the same knife up from ebay secondhand but mint condition for 80 bucks.its going right in the pocket.
Did you ever make a post video review? I'm curious if it solved your problem. Thanks
@@jeep_jedi607 I didn't make a follow-up video review but I can say these lower brackets made it much easier to get the toe of my boot under the shifter. I haven't noticed an increase in vibrations to my feet either. I'm very satisfied with these brackets.
Should have taken it to a jewelry,watch guy
Organs are the most nutritous food there is.
Installed the same exhaust on my KLR this morning. I love it and the length looks great right now, only thing I'm concerned about is when I install the rear fender elimination kit on the bike then the muffler may look like it is really sticking out too far. Hope not because I've already bought the rear fender kit.
Thanks for your appreciation! Couldn't agree more with your evaluation. I just got the "base" version from about '83 and I really enjoy the tech and vibe of the piece. Prices in the scondary market have doubled since your video, but they are still a terrific value.
What a great kitchen, now I want an open hearth in mine! BTW, cool opening shot - all it needs is the MASH theme playing over it :)

I started using four years ago this exact time format and I won’t go back to 12 hour even if your building a clock in Minecraft 24 hour is the winner. You don’t have to worry about the a.m. and p.m. mechanism meaning it’s going to be bigger. I got one as well on Amazon for about $30, and it doesn’t have the tick though it has a smooth silent second hand
Something about this man tells me he might’ve been a SEAL. Just sayin’.
Dear god it took 13 1/2 minutes to get to the real info
Treat it like a lightsaber
Drilled lugs like the f91?
A friend of mine is a Russian immigrant. He was a soldier and told me about the Finka. He says it was it was the best knife he ever had.
I've had those for some time now. Hesitated to install till I saw your video. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Did you send it back? I mean usually theyll replace or refund your money
No. I fixed it myself.
I got the Timex one for timing my laps at the ymca pool. I wanted the 200 meters and the large display.
I have the same Timex Ironman with a velcro strap. It cost $10 more. It's very easy to put on and take off in like 2 seconds.
Don't feel bad 😊. I just got one and cut myself as well. Deployment is a bit weird. Oh well...
Visit their website ... You can find their models and variants. They still sell watches at their factories in Bangalore, hyderabad and other cities in nothern India. They also sell them online.
I liked seeing those old inherited slipjoints.
I have two imaculate Omega Seamaster Polaris Digital watches one with gold insert bracelet one with steel bracelet. Gold braclet has original box new purchase reciept servicing. Use as occasional dress watches. Love them so elegant and descrete.
I had my Zodiac Super Sea-Wolf with the 3-13 recently go in to Fossil Group service. It was intermittently stopping and the watch wasn't even a year old. Talk about a bad experience. I sent it in as a warranty repair but when it arrived the notes for what ever reason did not acknowledge this. I was happy to provide the information again but the email system they use never goes to the same individual. I had to send it in several times unsure if they were receiving it. It was confirmed received and I waited almost two months with no update. Reached out again and they said they DIDNT receive it! Sent the info in a second/third time. At the end of it all it took far too long and was plagued with poor communication. Also side complaint, the return parcel was packed very poorly (watch was tapped in a ball) and I was told they never issue a service report despite asking for information on work that was done... seriously made me want to sell all my zodiacs.
Agreed. I'm glad you made the effort and I hope you're doing well.
It would make more sense to me if the dial had the hour numbers in an inner circle, pointed to by the hour hand and the minutes in an outer circle, pointed to by the minute hand.
