Looks great. Looks really similar to the White River Ursus Cub. I wonder if White River is manufacturing these? Dan, how about a video on a theoretical overnight or survival type situation, where you only have your EDC and this new EDC knife or another knife in EDC size? Just to showcase how you'd do it without your main tools. Thanks!👍🏻
Looks nice Dan👍. I like that build feature for knife and sheath. Ill ck it out. I bought a esee 3hm and really enjoy it. I edc my esee 3. Take care.🇺🇲🔪🔥🌲
at 3.5" blade this could easy be a edc knife as well. i personally love 1095 steel in my experiance with blades and steels carbon steels for the most part are better for outdoor hard use. Have you ever tried Sk85 or sk5? great video brother..
I realize that part of your channel is about kit review. But you would be best suited to design your own knife. I did after years and $1,000s later. You would be amazed at how many very high end knives I would just get mad at and first youth I seen at the trail head parking lot I would just give the knife away (with the parents permission). The only knife that I barely tolerated was my Randall #25-5 and I hated that knife even to this day some 36 years after getting it. I knew that because of where I go and the activity’s I do there would be two knives needed. My Bush knife is 5” long and 1/4” thick. My Stalker is 4” x 3/16”. They are very similar but the Bush knife is made for Africa and Eastern Europe/Northern Asia (Russia) where animals are thicker skinned and the terrain is much more demanding. The Stalker is made for Central and Western Europe specifically the Scottish Highlands where the animals are smaller and thinner skinned and where I also enjoy fishing. I’m not saying they can’t do each others jobs, but I like it better this way and I have not bought a knife except for collecting now in about 15 years. Just a thought.
I have designed two knives so far and done videos on each. The Ochoco Bush Knife and the Ochoco EDC Knife. I use both along with my other knives. I enjoy testing out new knives for the viewers, and have been fortunate enough to find a few that I really like and enjoy using. Very cool that you have designed your own!
Nice video!! I have the esee 6 scales from the knife connection in canvas micarta but they are not very grippy. Is g10 more grippy under dry conditions?
canvas micarta can be more grippy than g10, but the way TKC finishes the scales they are a little slick. you can take some rough grit sandpaper and lightly sand them to expose more of the canvas fibers and get more grip.
It depends on what steel you choose, handle materials, etc. On the Architect Knives website you build your own knife. Mine with 1095 steel is around 125.00
That's a nice bushcraft design
Very nice!🔥
Been waiting for this review!
Hope you like it!
I totally agree on your points you hit on comparison to the Esees
I have a 4.5 on the way. The ergo's are awesome! Thanks for the review.
The 4.5 is an awesome looking knife! Would enjoy hearing how you like it.
Good Review thanks for comparison with Esse 3
Thank you!
Nice blade 👍
Thanks 👍

TOPS KNIVES is making the 1095 blade.
I will definitely consider your idea for a future video. Thank you!

The 3hm is a very nice EDC knife.

Thank you! Haven't yet tried either of those steels you mentioned.
Love the videos and all the kits. I'm a kit man myself and enjoy making them. Do you plan on doing an over nighter with any of the kits soon?
Possibly! I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Thank you! I'm surprised about the canvas micarta handles.. normally they are definitely more grippy than the G10.

Thankyou very much
Nice knife. How much does your knife sell for ?
It depends on what steel you choose, handle materials, etc. On the Architect Knives website you build your own knife. Mine with 1095 steel is around 125.00
