@@sykotik4200 it does look like an infidel on steroids. I knew it reminded me of something….. that’s it, you are absolutely right.

@@danielbray2679 its a really nice dagger. I had fun testing it. I really pounded on it and it didn’t show any signs of wear. Even after all the combat testing, it still made feather sticks very well. Not bad at all.

@@chancecarlton8403 I know exactly what you mean. Although I have zero regrets on the purchase. I have this in the case in my studio and everyone is drawn to it. It’s just one of those blades that catches the eye. The only thing better than looking at it is using it. Thanks for the comment. Thank you very much for watching my video!

@@islandpainter3964 I live in Texas there is no shortage of Hog hunters here. They live knives like this. I like carrying it when I am out in the woods. We have quite a few mountain lion in my area and this is peace of mind. I like having a large knife out there. Thanks for the comment. Thank you for watching my video!

@@haveaknifeday Odenwolf knives are made in Odenwald Germany. It’s a family owned company that makes outstanding knives.

@@PreppingWithSarge I agree. I have tested quite a few and they have all really impressed me. People just don’t understand that all D2 steel is not made equal. Odenwolf does an outstanding D2. I literally chopped a log in half with this knife. And the edge held up extremely well. Thanks for the comment. Thank you, very much, for watching my video!

@@raizt1596 bravo! Totally agree. The Powerpint is big on performance and small in size. I’m glad to hear your getting good use out of yours. Mine literally travels with me everywhere. Thanks for sharing. Thank you for watching my video!

@@user-yx2ff3mv2q I’m in Texas. We can legally carry anything. I don’t think many people would carry this blade. But hey, I saw a guy walking down the road with twin katana on his back, all Deadpool style. So, you never know, I guess.

@FloydCotton-hx4jh lol

​@@FloydCotton-hx4jhI just watched the video again. It looks longer than 8 inches. We aren't allowed anything longer than 6 inches maximum and you really need to be careful where you would take a knife. There's no lock knives allowed and no double edges like that one, even if it's less than 6 inches. That dagger style blade is considered a weapon. We have lots of stupid laws that do absolutely nothing to prevent people from being stabbed or even stop people carrying knives. We have African gangs running around with 3 foot long machetes. The cops are too busy arresting TH-camrs for what they say in their videos but complain that they have no resources. This place is in serious trouble.

@@user-yx2ff3mv2q I also live in the USA, not Texas but Kentucky, similar laws on weapons. I can carry anything I can legally own, almost anywhere. Gun, sword, knife, throwing stars...do I need this knife? Of course not....but damn....

@@asmith7876 I left a reply but TH-cam censorship is insidious. We aren't even allowed to comment on such a knife here lol.

@@thedeaderer8791 they sure have. I have tested at least six knives lately from Odenwolf. I am extremely impressed.

@@BodaciousBlades I agree. The profile on this knife is amazing. It is visually striking and also very capable.

@@billsimonsen2746 thanks for the comment! One more vote for the button!

@@xxboxofmuffinsxx4252 that’s a badass edc my friend. I love that blade. I am actually carrying the M16 12ZLEK today! That’s a crazy coincidence. It’s super foggy here, so I am geared up with my first responders load out. Thanks for sharing your daily carry. I really like to hear what you guys are using. One more vote for the button, seems that people like the upgrade. Thanks again for the comments! And thank you for watching my video!

@@EPLobo nice! Glad to hear it has served you well. It is an outstanding little tool. I carry it as a backup to my main tool, and it has really come in handy. I made this video because I feel that this tool just doesn’t get enough credit. Thanks for the Comments! And thank you for watching my video!

@@bensears7499 age brings wisdom for sure. I have knives that are definitely useful…….and I have some that are not too practical at all. This is one of those knives most people hope there will never be a use for.

@@creaturecrew3938 the trail master comes in CPM or VG-1…..so there is a steel advantage there, theoretically. But at almost 300 dollars……I would say that the Odenwolf is a better choice, unless you just have money to burn. The sheath on the Odenwolf is absolutely better quality. But, at the end of the day, the Odenwolf handled everything I threw at it without fail. Also, the trail master is more of a bush clearing/machete style blade. Whereas the Odenwolf is more of a combat dedicated platform.

@FloydCotton-hx4jh I completely agree, great analysis.

@ thank you very much for the compliment. I truly appreciate it! Thanks for watching my video!

@@danegavrilovski I wonder what happened to your comment? So, you removed the flipper and installed thumb studs? Thats pretty original.

@@DrakeAldrich that’s a great question. I will ask around and see if anyone has. I have also had an issue with the flat bits being too soft. I usually carry an adapter with a set of 3D bits…..but it would be nice to have a flat set of higher quality.

@FloydCotton-hx4jh i guess i could just get the adapter kit so I could use a wider variety of things

@ it really does come in handy. I use mine all the time.

@@ParkerBinion I just ordered the U1 Pro. Outstanding advice! Thank you so much. I have been so busy that I didn’t realize that they had made pro model. Looks awesome. I can’t wait to take a look at it. Thank you very much for your comments and brilliant suggestions. I truly appreciate them all!

@@JUDGERAMBO definitely a great knife to edc. Which model were you looking at?

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh Regular folder can't decide on the finish and color there's a lot of choices.

@ there are. That’s one of the great things about the Elementum, you can just about get any variation you want. There are so many to choose from.

@@ParkerBinion that’s a brilliant pair! Love it. Thank you for sharing. I need to do a review on the flex. Thanks for the comment. And thank you, very much for watching my videos!

@@SubUrbanNinja-EDC thank you very much! I truly appreciate you watching my video. And I am absolutely grateful for the subscription! Being a subscriber also puts you in the drawing for give aways! I wish you all the luck, and welcome you to eleven11Outdoors!

@@lifeisa.smalllesson333 this is a good rule. One that many of us just can’t follow. I have hundreds of knives. I absolutely love knives…….and, I can tell you, I am not alone. One of the many benefits of my channel is that I have met SO many like minded people. I unapologetically love knives. Thanks for the comment. And thank you so much for watching my video!

@FloydCotton-hx4jh im w u brother. Thats why the rule had to be developed. When i moved cross country I had 100s of knives. Lots of them barely ever used. Some novelty. But most of them, top of the line knives that i purchased and liked soo much that I bought another one for whenever I break or lose the other. Then 1 yr later another new knife drops and I do it again. It just never stopped. I was just going thru old stuff and found a 100lb tote slam full of knives. Half of them are still brand new. If u know, u know. Idk what it is, but a good blade pleases me dearly!! Keep grinding brother!! May your blades remain clean!! Lol Latr

@@DustySkyes-f7j man I wish! That would be epic.

@@ShotOnChristmas I pretty much just freestyle my videos. I try to make them honest and to the point. Most of my videos are one take shots. I push blades pretty far, but I do not do destructive tests. I test under practical purpose measures…. I do not abuse gear. Thanks for the compliments. And thank you very much for watching my video!

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh You're welcome. I'll have to check out some more of your videos. Buying knives is a bit of a headache IMHO because there are always new ones coming out and its hard finding exactly what you're looking for.... then you start buying for different situations... and then "back ups" for those situations and maybe even slightly different versions of each.. etc etc etc... Hard when you spend a lot on "other" outdoor gear as well and especially firearms, optics etc.

@@ShotOnChristmas I completely understand. That’s one of the reasons I don’t sell out to big expensive knife companies. They ask me to do reviews. The reason I don’t is because I believe that they are unreasonable about their pricing. I am a blue collar- small town guy. When I was watching knife reviews I saw all the same routine. People cutting stuff, people reading the information off the box, people pushing overpriced knives. I wanted to start a channel that reviews gear a regular person would buy. I wanted to provide my fellow outdoorsmen with a unique perspective on gear that I truly believe would add value to their lives. That is still my mission and please keep in mind that my channel is very small. I have only been on TH-cam for a little over a year, but most of that time I did not have the resources to put strong energy into the channel. I have four kids and I work two jobs…. I am not really an excuse guy, but that’s my position. I intend to add more content and put much more energy into the channel. This is what I really enjoy doing and I am SO thankful I can do it. Thank you for your time. Thank you SO much for watching my videos!

@@RolfRobertson6404 agreed. It would be quite an asset if needed.

@@juliangarcia1554 you may be right. I haven’t had a chance to circle back around to this……but, I kind of like the olive color it developed into. So, I may have to get another and try this again. I really appreciate the advice. I will definitely look into their website, I haven’t been there yet.

@@juliangarcia1554 these knives are a serious upgrade to the original models. If you haven’t visited this brand in a while, they are definitely worth a look. I appreciate you watching my videos! I remember our conversations from Facebook…….thank you for being here!

@@juliangarcia1554 I did……leatherwork isn’t exactly my strongest asset. There’s a local artist that is helping me learn leatherwork…… I’m picking it up pretty quickly. I intend to post a more in depth video on this knife once I have a sheath that is worthy. Thank you for the kind compliments!

@@TheBearanormalRealm yes, I meant gladiator style. The gladiators used many, many different weapons from all over the world. This looks to me like a blade that would be at their disposal. Just my opinion. Thanks for the comment. Thank You for watching my video!

@@TetraSamurai I can relate to this very much.

@@mbhaus6349 far from it. It is actually very well made and capable.

@@FreedomFox1 thank you for the advice. I am working on a few testing shots for the videos…….i will definitely take your advice. I truly appreciate the feedback! Thank you for watching my video!

@ Awesome, thanks… not something I’ve tried, so it would be interesting to see!

@@debtfree_2024 this sheath is as impressive as the knife. I don’t know if you watched my full video on this one, but you get a good look at the sheath there. It is outstanding. Thanks for the comment! Thank you for watching my video!

@@douglassshephard3732 it is very well made…..it would be a formidable weapon for sure. Thanks for the comment!

@@GerstBladeworks I like the scalpel for fine work. I have a few that use scalpel and they really come in handy. I like this one because it feels more to me like an actual knife. Thanks for the comments. And thank you for watching my video! I really appreciate it.

@FloydCotton-hx4jh yeah I will definitely have to grab one soon . I do a lot of cutting on extremely abrasive materials and even with the highest edge retention steels out there, they aren't impervious to the havock. Then, I have to re sharpen those knives and while I enjoy sharpening knives, it can be overwhelming when you have to do it constantly. I guess the biggest thing with this knife is, how much over time will these blades cost and add up to? and will they be produced for the life of the knife ? One day, you could be ready to buy a new set of blades and the company has gone under or discontinued them. Alternatively, you could buy a mess load of them up front to make sure you never run out but then that is just putting you back into the price bracket of say, a Spyderco para 3 with Maxamet steel. Lots of things to consider and I suppose if you had to and you were SOL.. and can't get anymore blades, im sure you could hone them on a fine sharpening stone to bring them back to life, but yet again, we could just be doing that with a regular knife 😂 I know.. I'm a fun time at parties right ? 😂

@ well said, my friend. Well said.
