Great video and demonstration! Very cool! I'm glad the Carnivore performed for you! Gen 2 drops on the Work Tuff website Jan 24. Gen 2 is thinner behind the edge to continue to improve slicing and carving capability. It also refines the fuller to shift the balance sightly for light chopping. Thanks again! Nice job!
I like how Work Tough Gear takes other people's designs and brings them to realization. It's obvious Vic can be trusted to maintain a high standard of quality. I would love to someday have a Mark Young designed Work Tough Gear bushcraft knife on my belt. Although bigger than I would normally carry this is another great looking knife from Work Tough Gear. Thanks for sharing Mark!
LOL...I don't think I have enough credibility for that. However, I am working with a knife designer on a few projects including a couple of knives and even a wood stove. Thanks for commenting Steve
I like big knives, especially ones that are actually practical for outdoor use--this one seems to be just that. 👍Thanks for sharing, take care and Cheers!
G'day Mark, up front, thats the best design, (for my needs) I've seen under the auspices of WT, very good upon you Eric. and whilst I'd be mainly be using it on flora, ....... it still looks like a carnivore ; ) I'm with ya Mark, I'm not a huge fan of finger choils either, but if you do it like this, it turns out a winner. I've no doubt it will excel at all 3 of my possible modus operandi. A. All round camp knife, car camping. B. Primary knife for a day hike, reasonably close to civilisation, yet still more than competent for a planned or unplanned overnighter. C. Secondary to a big fella, way out in the sticks. Steel choice is debatable IMO, SK85 is the same as SK5 to my knowledge. Silky uses SK4, (with a bit more carbon), some have pointed out it can be prone to snapping, but in that instance it's a thin saw blade and I strongly suspect user error too, (I've got half a dozen of them in various sizes, and none have ever looked like breaking). Of course HT will have a major impact too. Personally I do prefer a stainless belt knife for my climate, though in fairness once we get up to 7 or 8 inches, I don't care so much, ........ as long as it does the business. Cheers Duke.
Hi Duke. What I know of Work Tuff Gear is that they first make a new design in SK85 (SK5) then if it is popular they may make it in stainless like N690, if it owkrs for the design. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Thats interesting mate, I've had good experiences with N690 and other "mid range" stainless steels. I reckon the SK85 would probably be fine, though one to keep an eye on for a preferable choice.
Now that’s a very cool knife. It would be nice to have a small version of this as a companion knife. I prefer not to use a knife for chopping, but for smaller tasks like making tent pegs and like you said, branches, I don’t have an issue. I do see using one for splitting smaller wood for fire prep. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️🔪 PS: If you were in a situation where that’s all you had, I think you would be able to do a lot with it.
I agree. I am not a "one tool option" believer but a knife like this can do a lot of the tasks normally reserved for a small knife or an axe. Thanks for commenting
Another great video. I am a big fan of gideonstactical but I must say I am learning a lot more about knifes from your videos. Whats your personal go to knife for the woods?
Glad you liked the review. The sheath is a change from what WTF used to supply. Intended to offer more mounting or carry options. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I’m pretty sure I’ll just end up buying a few more knives. As you know, they’re tools, and tools are made for specific purposes like bushcraft, hunting etc.. so I know there isn’t just one knife, but it would be nice to find a knife good for camp, and hunting, and is big enough, without being a sword. For me the handle is double important, because I busted a knuckle on my pinky, so I can’t close my hand properly. It needs to have a full thickness so I can get all my fingers on it.
I have a few more here to review and few more coming that I am excited to test out. One thing I have been able to do with knives that have removeable scales is to add a liner to give it more thickness. Usually means a new sheath unless its leather than can be stretched@@jimf1964
The screws are usually long enough if I use thin liners. I back it up by applying Locktite. I get mine from a knifemaker friend but companies like Lamnia and Briza sell it. I think also Canadian KnifeMaker does@@jimf1964
I just added a link for Canadians to purchase as well. wildcoasttents.com/shop/ols/products/carnivoregen2

Thanks Eric. I was wondering what the difference is. Same steel?
@@MarkYoungBushcraft yes same steel. Performs well and keeps the cost reasonable...

@@MarkYoungBushcraft very interesting, I look forward to seeing how that plays out.
Thanks Mark for the video review; this knife appears to be very useful.
It makes for s great all-round camp knife. Thanks for commenting

Larger for versatility. Great push-pull handle design w/3 lanyard choices. To me every test gets a high score.
Right on. Thanks for commenting

I appreciate your kind words. BTW, I am a big fan of Aaron at Gideonstactical as well
I think the sheath is too big. I would like the same knife with a glock 78-like sheath. Thanks for the great review

It’s pretty, but I’m still waiting for you to review the perfect knife for me. I know one is out there. 🙂🙏🏻
