Yes, thank you Mrs. Pete!
Hail the OnionWife!
Complete off topic suggestion for a video: your 10 best metal albums.
As a fellow metal head, I support this request
I also support this request.
It would be interesting.
G'day mate, oh yeah, I'm all for it !!!!! I'm sure you're aware there are a few sub-categories of metal and narrowing it to 10 across the board might be a challenge, but in any case, I'm sure that'd stoke up the comments section ; ) Cheers Duke.
Man if Megadeth isn’t in the list anywhere I’m going to be upset
I go camping here in Scotland maybe 10 times a year, year round. The jääkäripuukko 140 has been the knife I take with me almost every single time since I got it maybe 3 years ago. Specifically because it's so good at batoning, it means I don't need to lug an 800g axe head up and down a big hill. I've had some chilly nights where I've had to process a whole night's worth of firewood with just that and a Laplander pruning saw, and it's done the job no problem, every time. Scandi-vex is the way. DBK boys taught me that!
Yet another better steel choice than 1095. Add 52100 to that list.
God i love 80crv2. It may rust, it may not be the most high tech but its just so damn reliable. My first ever knife was a Puukko with a cheap 80crv2 blade by Laurin Metalli. Not knowing how to use a knife i abused the shit out of it but it always held up. That shit is indestructable but still has great edge retention all considered.
Nowadays i have my Jaakaripuukko and Peltonen ranger, still in 80crv2, still by Laurin and i would never want anything else.
Love this knife, I've got the 110 and the 140 so I can lend one to a friend when we go hiking.
Your edits crack me up, the microphone bumping and the carrot grating comment got me this time. The cat metal scream is always the cherry on top though. Cheers and thanks again.
Just picked up the Cold Steel SRK in 3V for only $110. Amazing deal. So many great options these days.
I have used 80crv2 in making my own fixed blade knives and it has been great, highly underrated in my opinion and ya its not "super steel" but it is one of the toughest in my personal testing of simpler carbon steels. 🤫 dont tell people how awesome it is the price will go up 🤣, the price will go up either way who are we kidding.
Love my Terava puuko and skrama.
My Skrama has remained my favorite chopper for the last 5 years. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
@lynnjr457 Same. I blackwashed all my Terava blades with an hour long soak in Star-San (good white vinegar will work, too) and I'm not having any incidental rust now.
The Skrama is so capable. Half hatchet, half machete, half knife. 150% awesome.
@@adx442 Agreed 100%. Great beast of a blade.
PETE...I realize you didn't ask for my opinion, BUT...I noticed your dog has a nylabone or a gumabone in it's mouth. I'm a retired dentist. Nearly 30 years ago, my rough coated collie dog split her mandibular first molar on a nylabone. Turns out that is a very common dog injury with nylabones and gumabones. It took me over 5 hours to do a root canal and composite post and core build up on her tooth. It also cost me over $500USD to rent the veterinary surgical suite. Today, that injury repair would most likely cost you $2500-$3000USD! Those are your dogs so you can do as you please. I just wanted to make you aware of the risks. None of my dogs (border collies) since have gotten nylabones or gumabones. THANKS Pete!
We have a problem with our dog gnawing away until she gets pieces of them off (very jagged and rough) and then eats them. No perforated bowel yet, but we throw them away once she gets them chewed up. Bonus use! I use my Mora Basic to whittle down the sharp parts. Can also use a belt sander but it will melt a bit. It is tough stuff, no doubt. Bene-bones are the same material. I’m sure it’s non toxic and inert, we just don’t like the sharp shards a strong dog can get off.
@@JohnSmith-gs4lw The problem is the material. When the dog chews it, the nylon material compresses and stores energy. When the dog starts to relax, the material has a high powered spring-like action that forces the outer cusps of the upper teeth out towards the cheek and the inner cusps of the lower teeth inward towards the tongue. This spring-like action can split off the cusps longitudinally. This has all been documented over the past 30-40 years, although the manufacturer denies this is a common problem. I consulted with two of the leading veterinarian experts who did extensive research on this problem. Like I said above...I only posted this as FYI. You do whatever you feel is best for your pets.
Guaranteed slab fractures. Good on you for pointing out this.
@@jayheslin803 Thank you!
80CrV2 is my second favorite behind O1 tool steel. I’m an old head, kind of stuck in my ways, but both are amazing knife steels and I hope to get my hands on that puukko
Love my Puukko 140. I want the Peltonen Ranger too. Same steel, similar design, scandi origin, more expensive. This hobby doesn't bare close scrutiny but I don't make the rules!
You've spent too much on Knifetube if "car knife" brings to mind images of a gas masked man stabbing a car.
Marlboro! New video just literally dropped 😂😂😂
@@noyzmunkythx. That's a different level of notification I guess
a man of culture, I see
JoeX is my dad and my mom
Now that you are a freehand sharpener and appreciate 80crV2.... for the love of God... please test the Rokka korpisoturi.... 80crV2 at 63 HRC... 5mm spine thickness so from the top it looks like an pry bar, but the rhombic grind makes it split logs like it was made for it, and it has this crazy aggressive steep bevel that makes it cut like an straight razor... that thing doesn't even dull on wood, would like to see how many times it cuts rope..
Most def my favorite fixed blade, it's like the Puukko 2.0
Send him one
@@DinoNucci all he needs to do is send email to Lamnia or possibly Varusteleka and they will send him one for free.... like 98% sure it would work out just like that...
@@Oozy9Millimeetah you do it
@@DinoNucci you want me to give up my only favorite very beat up knife?
The only dangerous thing about batoning that people should be a little mindful of is when your knife gets stuck and you grip a little beyond where the blade has cut to and try and lever it backwards and forwards to get it free. That's how you guillotine a finger off. I recall Advanced Knife Bro almost doing that once.
80crv2 is awesome. Occasional knifemaker and ive pretty much settled on 80crv2 and 52100 for everything. Great to see some freehand sharpening popping up now👍👍
Been here a long time and I'm Loving the current video fervor. Thanks Pete.
Would love to see Basil's rendition of 'scars' by batlecross @ 0:58 seconds
G'day Pete, I've had such a good time with the Skrama 240, (yes predominately through our Aussie hardwoods), that when it came to filling the hole of getting a tougher scandi, (more than a partial tang Mora for exapmle), this one was it, and yep, no great surprise, outstanding too !!!!!! ...... and for the moolah, excellent value I'd say.
Dunno what the specific handle composition is, ......... but it's a winner !!!! ...... together with ideal contouring.
And I'm with ya mate, the leather sheaths are great, (with danglers) ...... perhaps without being premo; certainly worth a bit extra dough IMO and ultimately, I couldn't ever see a need to replace 'em.
Incidentally, neither has spotted up in over a year and I'm only a stones throw away from the briny. In fairness I do keep my blades clean between uses, (not via the dishwasher, you heathen, ...... gangster slap, LOL), but still, compared with other carbon steels, I cant understand it. Though I guess I don't have to understand it, ..... just enjoy it ; )
Cheers Duke.
Holes in the tang don't weaken the tang if steel around the hole is at least as wide as the hole diameter. Most holes for knife handle rivets are the size of a #8 screw. Or about o.164" or 4.1 mm so if the tang of the strong arm is about 12 mm wide the hole isn't weakening the tang to any real degree.
Well done sir👌 love that 80crv2, great steel. bomb proof idiot proof, quickly became a favourite of mine. Nice on the stones. All my favourite knives just happen to be in 80crv2🧐.
On another note..
You’re putting out some of the best content that I’m personally coming across, i very much enjoy it.
I appreciate the fact that you’re in Australia and dont have the abundance of materials to work with in large forests like we have here in the North West, yet as an outdoor channel with your disadvantages you make do and come strong with great content. I sure do appreciate the channel young sir 🤠🔪🔬🧱🪓
Amen…idiot proof steel
Imo the 140 is the perfect soldiers knife. It's cheap, it's tough, it's good quality has a good sheath and can perform all knife tasks as well as non knife tasks that most soldiers will put a knife through. Oh and it's lightweight. Any weight savings is a bonus.
You could purchase a nicer knife like a BRKT but then you will constantly fret over any damage limiting it's use as well as worry about losing it.
Glitch in the matrix at 9:19 and a few seconds later. You’re freaking me out broseph. Creepy.
I'm glad someone else mentioned it. Just to make sure I'm not fully crazy. Yet.
That being said... There is no spoon. Only knife.
G'day and thanks for another great video. Regarding your comment about the DBK knife, 'some people would argue that drilling through the tang weakens it'. WOW. I think that if you are going to break the tang on that knife because it has pins fitted then you have already exceeded the limitations of the human hand in being able to hold it. In short, you will break your hand before the tang. In my opinion, others will obviously vary lol. Keep up the videos mate. Thanks.
This is a really great knife. Super strong with a comfortable handle. 🎸🔪
I got this one, i really like it. The sheath is above everything else, for use. the loock in mechanism is the best.
I noticed you were having some issue while batoning the wood, something that may help with that is to turn the entire set up on it's head- upside down, if you will. Then strike the bottom of the piece you are batoning with the cudgel while the tip of the knife is resting on something such as a stump or other sturdy work place. In this way the blade is acting like a stationary wedge while the wood is being driven down onto the blade. You won't have to fight the impact as the object the tip of the blade is resting on will take the brunt of it.
What the fcunk was that little reality glitch in the final ? 😂😂😂😂😂
Steel snob camera view.
I have a cudgel that I have been referring to as a War Club for the purpose of entering into The Last Huntsman's War Club Challenge.
However I have been assured that it is in fact a cudgel, much as now I attempt to assure you that what you have made is a round mallet.
If you're interested I made some shorts for my channel wherein I smash hard things with my Lilac Basher.
I had my jääkäripuukko 110 for a few years now and beat the tar out of it. It's always in my backpack in case I have to prepare some firewood. Just great value that one can rely on.
Any plans to review any of the montana knife company knives? Thoughts on their lineup?
All the Pete releases lately we are spoiled! Keep it up!
If I'm not wrong, the blades are made by Laurin Metalli .
BTW , great looking baton. I would have made the handle section longer but you do you. Bout time !
Terävä make great knives! I own the Jääkäripuukko 85 and the Skrama 200 & 240 and use them regularly...
All my winklers are in 80crv2 and it's probably the nicest steel I've ever used
Sog pillar, s35vn Cryo is the way to go if you want it to last a lifetime… bought it used for about 100 bucks; light, strong, stainless, good sheath… what’s not to like
The Boltaron sheath is only $3 more than the leather but totally worth it. You will have to work out a way to attach it to your belt, though.
The Jakariipukko is way thinner behind the edge than the SRK, it’s nice.
Why can't CS make a version of the SRK in DC53?!😢
It's mostly chinese origin steel, despite that - mostly chinese homage/clones are made of that kind of steel, rather look for some Esse/Ontario "inspired" builds. I've got an ESSE CR 2.5 knock-off made of DC53 and it's freaking great.
I love my Jaakaripuukko, had a 110mm but too small for really batonning with, then I've sold it and bought the 140mm and doing its sheath by myself ;)
jääkäripuukko 140 is the knife that JoeX tested and it's so durable unlike Tops knives and all those companies who's HT is all over the place
I really like the jäkkaripukko, a true beater knife for a reasonable price.
one of the only knives i have (the shortest version) and its just paradise to own
not sure if you know, but to clean your stones you need these in your life mate: "Kuniyoshi Rust Eraser Sabitoru Medium and Fine 2-Piece Set"
Another great video from the man downunder !
Pete going against the tide with another non- super steel knife !
I started with the Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110. Now I have the Terävä Skrama 200, 240 and 80 too. And the Jääkäripuukko 85 and Skrama 80 as bare tang... You get great knives for your money.
You’ve got beautiful peppers,good video too!
Yes great value
Awesome shot of Basil (that is the cat's name, right?).
Welcome to the cudgel club.
Glad Pete mentioned 420HC. It apparently has a slight edge over 80CrV2 in toughness and edge retention, and of course far exceeds it in corrosion resistance. If they made the Skrama and puukkos in 420HC for a comparable price, that'd be somethin'!
It CAN be better. The difference is that heat treating 80crv2 is extremely easy and is very forgiving. It's also easy to differentially heat treat where the edge is much harder than the spine/sides.
Not that 420hc is rocket science... But it's certainly harder to consistently and cheaply produce.
@@LubberKing Good point. Ease of working with during the manufacturing process is typically left out of the kinds of performance metrics end users are likely to see, though sometimes it's partly reflected in the price tag.
I don’t have a lot of experience with 80crv2 but my Brisa Trooper very much reminds me of my 01 steel knives...
Great stuff, thanks
Cudgels, clevis', learning all sorts of new shit😂
Do you grate your carrots tip down?
thanks for the great video
No mention of 14c28n? It has good stats on paper, and shouldn't be too expensive
Hey Pete, love the videos! Just curious how you feel about the al mar ultralight flipper in d2 and titanium? Not sure how I feel about the flipper version
I like the utility of my SRKs but I find myself reaching for a scandi bushcraft knife for outdoor adventures most of the time.
Ive also rated 80crv2 in the same category with the 3V only cheaper.
...in the hands of a master.
Damn it does the same as every other knife out there in the world.
Should i get this or the lionsteel t5 for a well rounded survival knife?
I wish people would say cutting wood with a knife is always just for fun. I can't imagine you need to cut wood so small that a hatchet isn't the best tool. I love my fiskars hatchet. I am living in a wood burning stove heated home and grew up in one as well, I had never even seen wood cut with a knife until TH-cam. I want to add that I own that knife and I have cut wood with it, but I admit to myself it's no hatchet.
Wrong
@@DinoNucci I hadn't thought of it that way, you're probably right. Just to jog my memory; could you tell me in which situation you need smaller wood than you can process with your hatchet? I'm sure I've seen it but just can't remember. I'm not talking about whittling btw, I'm talking about cutting wood.
@@crookmcstealie yes
@@DinoNucci you're my favorite. At first I thought we would have a pointless back and forth about a meaningless issue but what you've done is better, I concede to you. This is not meant to be read as sarcastic, I sincerely mean it. You've won. I truly hope you respond to other posts I make, and the shorter they are the longer my responses will be.
Brusletto knives can be a fresh blood not only for this great channel but for the whole knife community worldwide. 🔪
I have got its 100 years anniversary one at about 1995 and it’s 10 folds better than Eldris.
One of these days you are going to need to review in the Sypderco Enuff2 in K390. It definitely needs to be in the list when comparing outdoor knives, but it is light and won't work for true survival.
I love the kitchen content 🔥🔥🔥
In the U.S.A. Walmart used to sell a version of the Gerber Prodigy that did not have the serrations. Made in the USA just like the other Prodigy model. I think it might have been a Walmart exclusive. So with that you got, basically, the same blade as the Strongarm with what I find to be a more comfortable handle (iirc the Prodigy blade may be something like 1/8 of an inch shorter, if that, but is otherwise identical) for less money. I bought one of those Prodigy models and, because I had it, never bought a Strongarm. I think the only advatage the Strongarm has is the modular sheath system.
Anyhow, I liked the Prodigy enough that when Walmart closed them out at a reduced price I bought two more. I don't really use the Prodigy as an outdoor knife, as I have other knives I like for that, but more as a general purpose, utility fixed blade. Where I live, in East Tennessee, there are no blade length restrictions and it is not uncommon for people (guys) to carry a fixed blade or large folder on the belt, again, just for utility purposes for whatever need arises. Therefore, I sometimes carry the Prodigy when I am just out and about and no one in this area even bats an eye. I have an SRK that I have carried a little for the same purpose but tend to gravitate more toward the Prodigy.
I do want to get my hands on a knife like you reviewed, here (not going to butcher the name). I do a little leatherwork, just for myself, so if I got one I would probably save a few bucks and make a sheath.
Tldr
@@DinoNucci
DGAF (Don't give a - you can figure the rest out.). Seriously, if people don't want to read a comment then don't read it. Instead, although they apparently don't have time to read the comment, they take time to post "TLDR". Geez, the Internet is ridiculous, sometimes
I also bought a Walmart version Prodigy during that closeout. Gave it a short convex with a final 20 degrees per side, which improves the wood processing.
Much better handle than the Strongarm.
I would be interested in any work tuff gear reviews if you managed to acquire on.
How does Esee’s 1095 compare to this knife’s 80CRV2? About the same or is there a noticeable difference?
80crv2 in the dishwasher 😂😂😂
nice review, i might give it a go if it shows up in Canada
I'm in Canada and had this knife and the skrama 240 delivered no problem.
@@isaiah_b_3798 sweet, where did you order it?
@@jufuh1503 from their website
Love my Terava puukos and Skramas. For when you are elbow deep in muck.
Skrama 240 is the thinking man's golok.
I have finer knives, but they don't do anything better, and when there is work to do who need to pamper a knife because it cost too much? No need to hold back with the Teravas.
Beautiful axe.
9:19-28 😂🤣
Freaking hilarious.
I'm pretty well off enough with my mora 511; not doing anything that rough with my knives.
Maybe it's time to add axes to your journey.
What kind of edge holding tests would you make with axes???
where is your knife gloves without the tips tough Aussie look Mate
I bought one of these and said to myself "that's it.. no more knives"
I have recently purchased the Skrama 200 lol..
PS
Im still waiting for your thoughts on the Buck 117..
Also, nobody cares about this, but I recently bought a bare tang jääkäripuukko 85 and made a handle for it. First time doing that. Now it's my instant favourite knife ofc!
Leatherman sore? battening?
What would the equivalent be in a mora?
I have x2 of these but I also have one of the stainless versions as well, how do you rate the stainless steel steel.?
btw, that curry sound deliciuos:)
WOW! Now that’s a damn sexy blade. 💯
Metal Kitty, how i love thee. ❤🐈⬛♠️
Ahh yes... batoning
Good video 👍
Carrots... in a curry?!
Rubber mallets are quieter
I can't find this knife anywhere. I can't even find that it exists. Anyone can point me in the right direction?
They won't ship to the UK so I hate them.
When was the last time you looked because it looks like they do now. I just took it all the way to payment. They sort out the vat, has to be signed for on delivery...... I can't buy right now but I'm itching for it.
Really? Why?
On the Varusteleka webpage it seems to be offering price/ and shipping to the UK.
80crv2 is by far my favourite steel. (Check out my channel for my customs) I use Lauren metalli blanks for all my custom knives and have made quite a few custom Skramas that my customers love… sure it rusts , but that just teaches how to take care of steel properly.. pound for pound its the Toyota of steel
That curry gave you the gas, eh?
I know you will blame the microphone, but we know what really happened! 😂
Comment for engagement
Yanks wouldn't understand proper tough convict wood like mallee
If you want to check sharpness of your knife, try cutting some pig skin, not chicken. Otherwise i like your kuromaku collection. I have 2000, the green one, it is practical. Now i have to get the rest.
OK, the steel and the cudgel are fine and all, but we have to talk about your cooking. Really. Perhaps you do it off camera after filming, but I have never seen you brown your meat (not to mention vegetables) in a little oil or butter before putting them into the cooking pot. Since you are on the internet, I can't help feeling you've seen enough cooking videos to know about browning, which helps the flavor of foods, and also creates a fond for additional flavor upon deglazing. So, what's going on here? Or are you just throwing completely raw stuff into a stew? Or is this just B roll?
80 crv2 is just about the worst edge retention steel ever made…yes, you could baton it….but my lawnmower blade can do the same thing and I can sharpen it on a stone Harbor Freight grinder all day…..zero skill….its just “idiot stick” blade material….an “idiot stick” is a weed/grass cutter you swing…..its based on idiot employees using it to break down brush….
And jakaari means hunter pretty much
The modern interpretation is closer to soldier. It was Varusteleka's intention for it to be military issue. But these northern languages have always depicted soldiers as a special kind of hunter.
For example, the German "fallschirmjaeger" is literally "falling umbrella hunter" for paratrooper. It always came up during board games of "Third Reich" where a few of the German pieces are labeled FSJ or something like that. A goofy word jigsaw puzzle of a name, always good for a laugh.
