Wow! Great presentation Blackie. Litened to WC last night and you further extolled the capabilities. If I was 20 years younger I would purchase one. I think we're in the golden Age of affordable fixed blade knife making.
Well thanks to you I purchased my WCSK today along with a sheath from stitched gear. Your channel has been a great benefit to me as you have introduced me to products I use and would like to get. So thank you again.
William has filled the empty whole in our knife world. The man can build the cookie cutters that we all use and love but refuses to settle. He brings light to the multi functional blade. Taking the best of the most used designs and Frankenstein’s them to success. Great thing about Will’s blades is he allows and encourage’s input from the great and natural woodsman of our time such as yourself. I’m a avid supporter of the MW. I jumped on the type 2 as soon as she rolled out a couple yrs back and she’s just a ideal wood working machine that does much more. Yesterday I received my WCNK and haven’t been able to put her down other then when I slept. I’m putting my order in for this WCSK next month.
Anyone who really work with a knife in nature, gotta respect this design man, best take on an individual evolution of an outdoor knife I've seen so far - it's really stunning... where can I get that thing ^^
The knife looks to be extremely well thought out and designed. I was thinking that you could do a class on just using this knife to it's full potential before you mentioned further videos to come on it's use! I definitely look forward to seeing the next videos. I know a collaboration between you and William is bound to make a winner:) Take care my friend!
Very good. Very impressive, very intelligent and cleverly thought through design. I will probably order one. The only, minor, consideration here is sharpening. I suspect the maintenance would need to be quite careful to preserve all of those edges. "Tanto". Great job. I love it already.
Say Heah Blackie, Happy Easter, that W. C. S. K. sure looks good, I like how it functions as a bush craft knife, I do have a modified Master Woodsman that William said was different enough to name it so it's my Paul'ies Delight, I also have a smaller knife he made me to match, and I named it Paul'ies Pride, both are posted on my Google Plus, But I wish I knew about the W. C. S. K. I would of loved getting that 3 Point Tip. Infact, I need to talk to William and get one in 3V like my other two, Dilly Dilly.,,.p
That is a nice knife but I have to say I still like the Master Woodsman better. It has the style of a kukri and the Navajo knifes that I've seen. The style of both of these knifes are great though.
William, I appreciate the honest interaction in response to genuine criticism. Can you send me an email with payment details cliffstamp@gmail.com. I would prefer a leather sheath if at all possible, it gets cold where I live and plastics don't do well.
Cliff Stamp you can order through my web site and there is a leather option with Stitched gear. Link to his web site it at the bottom of my web site Survival page. www.wcknives.com/wcsk/
I sure have been seeing a lot of haters on this knife. I love it. Just have to wait until I have the money for it as I have other priorities first. Great job!
Different !!! It well could be the o.t.o by the looks of all the edges and shape nice gotta head over to Williams channel and take a look great job brother !
Blackie... thanks for the excellent recap. Been watching William's videos regarding the concept development. Between watching your review, Dan Lutz's (AB Normal Bushcraft), Ben from Living Survival (with Will from Mantis Outdoors) - you all have convinced me. Although I have a Master Woodsman (and I do lovvvve my Master Woodsman as well), I ordered a WCSK... expect it'll be well worth the wait, if it lives up to even a bit more than the Master Woodsman... From watching William's beating the Pj's out of it while doing everything the Master Woodsman does and what you others were doing - I suspect, when received (I get 0039C ) the WCSK is going to be attached to me when ever I go out and about... (and my Master Woodsman will be in my pack). Considering all the Master Woodsman does - I know 'cause I've carved spoons, cut meat and veggies, skinned, did trap triggers and made other wood tools with my Master Woodsman - thought of it as an amazing chunk of metal... the WCSK seems to be kicking it up a notch...or two...or five. BTW - love your channel and most of all your honesty. Same with Dan and Ben... just straight up information with no gilding the lily. All the (continued) VERY BEST!
Just got mine, ordered it when this video came up, but had a custom sheath made for it by a friend. Just playing with it the last few weeks, interesting blade.
Well I enjoyed the video, I have the Beck W.S.K. so I'm used to the different edges, it seems like it would do all survival tasks well, I've been into survival and bushcaft for about 12 years now I've also been to quite a few Tom Brown tracker school courses, so I know a little bit about survival knives. The price point is not to bad either, could you maybe do a video talking a little more about the handle. Maybe you you have and I just haven't seen it in that case my bad thanks for the over view, I like what I see so far.
I ordered the Nessy from William today. I had a hard time deciding which knife to purchase first, the Nessy seems like the perfect EDC for me. Then the choice is the WCSK or the WCBK? I think that I'll go with the SK because the Nessy will be such a good companion for it.
Some what reminds me of the MSK1 Survival knife. Without the tanto point obviously. But i feel that its too much over the top. Over complicated. Simplicity is key. But whatever tickles your pickle. Id love to see some game processing with this knife and other knives in the future Blackie. Even your trapper knives and Moras.
It’s got a lot of interest, can you tell me if you think it would be as good a skinner and carver and food preper as the master woodsman, obviously it can chop and stab better, which would be useful in a combat or survival, and it has new interesting angles, but would it perform the non violent task as well?
steppenwolf did you bother to understand the four pillars in this knife? The c stands for combat, the other pillars are woodscraft, survival and kitchen chores. Perhaps you need to think before you type, I am interested in the knife as a whole, I have no need for the combat aspect personally and I believe my question did not equate to that, but chopping tends to be a violent, you will note that in a dictionary (do you know what that is) violence means to use force, when I chop I tend to use force, I imagine I could also gently chop, but I think of that as more setting the edge, like if I was going to baton something.
Your questions will be answered in this playlist of videos now published and will be added soon. Yes, it functions very well as a skinner as I show fileting a catfish in the introduction video.th-cam.com/video/oQOhtx2tWKc/w-d-xo.html
lol yep it didnt..then when it did on the second stick and my phone rang i had to cut out a 5 min call..yep the edit is a great tool to keep videos short and to the point..thanks for the comment..safe journeys
I have been to his web page, and FB and I can't find a price. Being a custom knife I'm sure that there is a wait. But no indication of how long. Blackie can you give some answers on the wait and price. Thanks
I have a link in the comments above to a playlist on my channel with 18 videos on this knife through the R&D testing phase to the introduction. The introduction video has the pricing and wait times. This is not a custom knife it is as close to a production model as I can get in a one man shop.
I thought of you when I heard about this. You probably already know. Just wanted to give you a heads up. It would be a shame if they do it. If you find another youtube style format and move , let me know. Thanks
no problem most of my channel is woodscraft..i have kept up with my channel keeping a copy of all my videos..i will repost in another place if they do strip mine..and if so i might offer them as a dvd
I hone mine with a victorinox mini sharpening steel and it works excellent. Mine is in 01. I use my knife vigorously and the mini steel is all I've used for 95% of my edge needs. It's easy to sharpen, dont let that deter you from getting one 👍
Do some research on William Collins and then make a comment like that. William would never make a knife that didn’t function as he says. Knives that work is the logo of WC knives
Lucio Anneo Seneca not worth the explanation. If you don’t understand it then why comment? Unless your a maker and unset you can’t come up with new designs or sell at a decent price.
Lucio Anneo Seneca certainly you can express your ignorant opinion. And I say ignorant because you have not used the product. Price is also a matter of opinion. It is comparably priced to other handmade custom knives. Of course we disagree. Difference is I have used the same designs you probably use, had a collection of 600 plus at one time but I also have used the WCSK so I can talk from experience. There is no comparison. I invite you to watch the complete playlist on my You Tube home page and learn more about this knife design from me and others. You may change your mind as many others has.
Lucio Anneo Seneca lots of things are average. Wooden wheels will get you where you want to go but Goodyear’s made the wheel better that is what this knife was designed for and does. I am of the opinion and many others opinions who has used this knife that it is the improvement of the old tired get you by designs. I’m only adjusting the knife and incorporating the best parts of different designs to make it function easier and better at more tasks. This is what the knife does. If your not open to change then fine. I can live with that if you can. I do take exception to the tone you expressed your opinion without ever trying the knife. If you do not want to pay the price for custom build quality knife that is fine to. But per industry pricing it is not overpriced. You just don’t want to pay the price.
Lucio Anneo Seneca it’s funny that you comment on the WCSK here too ok to settle the argument tell me what knife you used for 20 years 🙄 so I can buy it and check it out my self . Also I’ll make a video comparison about it with my personal custom WCSK . Thank you
Interesting ..... Looking forward to the future reviews from paying customers. Visually it's a bit of an abomination, but if it turns out to be a fantastic performing knife then that shouldn't matter to those who feel the need for a survival type knife.
All reviews are from paying customers some of these reviewers pay more for it than customers with cash because they have spent ours of their time helping develop and testing the knife. In actuality they pay more in time than someone who buy's one for $240.00 with only a money investment.
This is the best description of this knife i have seen. Great job
Wow! Great presentation Blackie. Litened to WC last night and you further extolled the capabilities. If I was 20 years younger I would purchase one. I think we're in the golden Age of affordable fixed blade knife making.
I'm nearly 67 years old and I can definitely see the versatility of this knife. I can't wait till mine arrives to put it to good use!
Well thanks to you I purchased my WCSK today along with a sheath from stitched gear. Your channel has been a great benefit to me as you have introduced me to products I use and would like to get. So thank you again.
Rock on! i hope you have many great adventures with the new wcsk

William is a great knife designer, but Blackie will make a great teacher. Looking forward for more demo videos.
Glad I found this video! I did not understand the design of this knife, you made it very clear and understandable Thank you!
Anyone who really work with a knife in nature, gotta respect this design man, best take on an individual evolution of an outdoor knife I've seen so far - it's really stunning... where can I get that thing ^^

This is how easy it is to sharpen. th-cam.com/video/fX3hOWhlcsI/w-d-xo.html
That's an outstanding knife. Killer versatile kukri tanto drop spear blade design. Comfy lookin handle with pinch grip&bow drill dishes&a usable skull thumper pommel..I want it!! Killer blade&killer vid woodsman bro!!
Looks like a lot of thought went into the design. Well done.
Say Heah Blackie, Happy Easter, that W. C. S.

i will have a few new videos on it very soon and i will be going into the points
Great review... I’m honored to be the owner of 0009
awesome knife
I am really impressed with this knife!
That is a nice knife but I have to say I still like the Master Woodsman better. It has the style of a kukri and the Navajo knifes that I've seen. The style of both of these knifes are great though.
I ordered mine last night, I’m looking forward to trying it out
Generally not a fan of over complicated designs, but there looks to be a lot of consideration into the elements on that knife.
Not that complicated. It has a blade, handle and a cutting edge.
Almost all knives can be so described in reductionist terms, but surely you see that the design is more complicated than a drop point?
Cliff Stamp not much more complicated than a serpentine blade or a kukkuri.
William, I appreciate the honest interaction in response to genuine criticism. Can you send me an email with payment details cliffstamp@gmail.com. I would prefer a leather sheath if at all possible, it gets cold where I live and plastics don't do well.
Cliff Stamp you can order through my web site and there is a leather option with Stitched gear. Link to his web site it at the bottom of my web site Survival page. www.wcknives.com/wcsk/

thank you..its been my exp ..if ya got a lot of haters..ya must be doing something right..lol
Different !!! It well could be the o.t.o by the looks of all the edges and shape nice gotta head over to Williams channel and take a look great job brother !

thank you !..i will have more videos on the WCSK and the masterwoodsman coming soon..safe journeys
Cool idea, looks a little bit like a beefed up Habilis Bushtool, really like it! Cheers, Marc
Just got mine, ordered it when this video came up, but had a custom sheath made for it by a friend. Just playing with it the last few weeks, interesting blade.
it grows on ya..once ya start using and all those edges come to play its a awesome knife
Great looking Knife
I bit. I am waiting on #25. Thanks Blackie.
Impressive design
Well I enjoyed the video, I have the Beck W.S.K. so I'm used to the different edges, it seems like it would do all survival tasks well, I've been into survival and bushcaft for about 12 years now I've also been to quite a few Tom Brown tracker school courses, so I know a little bit about survival knives.

Original woodsman would be perfect for me 🇨🇦
Looks nice cant wait for the videos showing it in use.
18 videos in the playlist linked above in my previous comment showing the knife in action by me and others.
William Collins i did watch some already and will finish later on. I just like watching blackys vids as well.
Ash Aphter oK, so do I!
Sweet knife!
Great video
Blackie I trusted u on haversack love it
glad you like it..its a great bag
Wow! So when would it be available, and how much would it cost? Thanks.
Looks like a real good one Blackie. Thanks for the video. No link to his site?
www.WCKnives.com
Ordered mine yesterday!
they are really great knives..
I ordered the Nessy from William today. I had a hard time deciding which knife to purchase first, the Nessy seems like the perfect EDC for me. Then the choice is the WCSK or the WCBK? I think that I'll go with the SK because the Nessy will be such a good companion for it.
Is this the knife u can use as a step in a tree
that is the one..it was put thru a lot in testing
How has this knife held up? Are you still using it as your primary?
Cool.
Some what reminds me of the MSK1 Survival knife. Without the tanto point obviously. But i feel that its too much over the top. Over complicated. Simplicity is key. But whatever tickles your pickle. Id love to see some game processing with this knife and other knives in the future Blackie. Even your trapper knives and Moras.
i will try to work that in..safe journeys
I like the bigger 3 pins instead of the 8 little pins. The bow drill hole isn't necessary.
The concept is interesting.
You don't have to use the bow drill divit but some people find it a useful feature.
It’s got a lot of interest, can you tell me if you think it would be as good a skinner and carver and food preper as the master woodsman, obviously it can chop and stab better, which would be useful in a combat or survival, and it has new interesting angles, but would it perform the non violent task as well?

Nice vid
Did Mr. Collins get in a fight with the belt sander? Kidding aside what can this do that a beautiful XL Master Woodsman can't?
It's very impressive.
I need one of these have the master ordered the jr
Lol. He jams the knife in the stump but has to cut to another take because it didn’t stick
lol yep it didnt..then when it did on the second stick and my phone rang i had to cut out a 5 min call..yep the edit is a great tool to keep videos short and to the point..thanks for the comment..safe journeys
I have been to his web page, and FB and I can't find a price. Being a custom knife I'm sure that there is a wait. But no indication of how long. Blackie can you give some answers on the wait and price. Thanks
Hamm 603 Go to William Collins YoueTube channel to watch his video on it. The knife is $240. The sheath options range from $35-45.
I have a link in the comments above to a playlist on my channel with 18 videos on this knife through the R&D testing phase to the introduction. The introduction video has the pricing and wait times. This is not a custom knife it is as close to a production model as I can get in a one man shop.
I’m waiting on the later
How can I get a WCSK
I thought of you when I heard about this. You probably already know. Just wanted to give you a heads up. It would be a shame if they do it. If you find another youtube style format and move , let me know. Thanks
no problem most of my channel is woodscraft..i have kept up with my channel keeping a copy of all my videos..i will repost in another place if they do strip mine..and if so i might offer them as a dvd
So whats that bloody thing going to cost?
Looks like it could be a bear to sharpen
no its easy..the edge is the same all the way..will did the hard part ..all you have to do is sharpen it like any flat knife
I hone mine with a victorinox mini sharpening steel and it works excellent. Mine is in 01. I use my knife vigorously and the mini steel is all I've used for 95% of my edge needs. It's easy to sharpen, dont let that deter you from getting one 👍
This old farts,been playing to much Zelda.that looks like Links sword!
nah I play a worgen death night in w.o.w.. looks more like a dagger from old iron forge
Why do people keep trying to reinvent the wheel? This knife looks like it will do nothing well.
Looks can be deceiving!
Do some research on William Collins and then make a comment like that. William would never make a knife that didn’t function as he says.
Knives that work is the logo of WC knives
Don’t bunk it till you try it ! This isn’t a Walmart knife penny
Sir thus knife is like 4 in one
Why u watching video I work hard for my money an I bought one
Guess I'll have to die because I'm not paying $300 for a knife. Just buy a cheap axe.
seriously guys!?
LOL, yes sir it is a serious knife.
