Me too.. That tactical site lost my business as well. That damn pop up...couldn't even scroll through the menu. Whomever designed the site needs to be FIRED.
Personally, I don't think saying 'thank you' is selling out. Other companies have sent him items before, to check out or to give away. It doesn't mean he endorses them or received compensation.
Kimberly G. It’s more then a thank you, they are sponsoring the channel! Don’t get me wrong I love this channel, he always said he bought his own products to test, but now there is a sponsor! So will we get an honest review!
@@pinzgauer7591 Luke does seem to do honest reviews, but it's always best to not only avoid impropriety, but to also avoid any appearance of it. Testing donated gear with disclosure is OK, but channel sponsorship is pushing the 'appearance' part a bit farther than I care for.
P RO I agree, I think he does honest reviews, but when a sponsor carries the type of things he reviews. If it was a sponsor for things he didn’t review I would have no issues.
So everyone knows, I don't do sponsorships on the channel and if I can get in a piece of gear to honestly review without making any compromises, I will as it's a benefit to all of us. This channel and the community which has formed is all about helping each other, sharing insights and thoughts on gear without sales being a factor; if you have followed the channel long enough, then you know it to be true. In the end, if the product is good, I will say so. If it isn't, I will say so. Do I care if you buy it, nope! It's that simple. S&H - Luke
The handle seems like a design feature for cleaning. If you’re feeling froggy you could put some slabs on it and use epoxy to fill in the slots on the tang. Excellent review! Thanks!
Really enjoy your videos. Single bevel/double bevel and single edge/ double edge are two different animals. Single bevel are most likely Japanese kitchen knives and double bevel are most other everyday knives. Single edge is sharp on one edge of the blade, double edge is sharp on both top and bottom edge of the blade and is illegal in some US states. If I miss understood what you said, I apologize. Always look forward to your vids.
I have the Nata, as well as the Ono, and a plethora of other large choppers. The Nata, while great quality, isn't what I grab very often for heavy work. I highly recommend the Terava Skrama from Varusteleka over any others I've tried. I haven't used a Buck Compadre Froe or an Ontario SP8, but I don't see either fulfilling a need that the Skrama doesn't.
The size & shape of this tool remind me of a traditional Swiss gardening tool called 'Berner Gertel'. The gertel is used when processing twigs and branches into firewood and kindling. Good design is known and repeated around the world!
The single bevel is more like a chisel, and I believe, is meant to be used more as a tool. Some knives are made that way so they can be used for making things.
I've done all that and a bit more, including taking down small trees (biggest being 6-8 inches in diameter) with my Fiskars brush axe. It was about $30 at Tractor Supply back when I got it. 19 1/2" long, about 1/8" thick blade. The handle, not great, so I cord wrapped mine for better grip.
That's a nice blade, it looks like a good splitter more than anything else. You should give a Kukri a try. The current "modern" design is a few hundred years old, the design base is much older than that. It just works, and it's a bit more versatile.
I’m not impressed with it. Looks to me like it is best used for batoning small logs, not chopping them. I can do the same with one of my Ontario knives. I don’t see the point in purchasing one of these. Just my humble opinion.
This knife is a Hatchet and it is made of Japanese High Carbon Steel SKS-51 Hard Chromed and the special Genki rubber grip absorbs the shock very well. Thanks 👍👍👍
If you haven't used a chest rig before, you should give one a shot as they are excellent ways to carry gear; especially smaller more frequently needed items. Also effective for CCW if that's important to you. - Luke
Another great review Mr.Luke! It's a Silky, not surprised it did well. I've been saving for the saw for long time... now you got me wanting one of these things too lol.
Heavy knives or machete's are best combined with a duty belt (kinetic projectile belt) -- I like the synthetic CORE belt, as is firm enough to carry the weight and rugged enough to deal with the outdoors.
Sawing wood with a Bacho laplander on a silky product video - I love it!!! All kidding aside it really looks like a great product. As always, great review.
I have the Silky Katanaboy 500 saw and the Silky Big boy 2000. Both are great saws . Also in my collection of bush tools is same hatchet you have there, works very well on the hard rough timber we have here in Australia. Cheers Luke all best regards from western Australia down under. Great video mate.
Great video! First time watching this channel and ill be back for more. I am curious though, why baton with the Silky Nata when its fully capable of just being swung to split wood? Again, great video, cheers.
What chest rig is that and are you still using the Hill People Gear kit bag? Their Recon Kit Bag is what I use for CCW on the trail, and it fits everything from my G43 to my G20 with a light for bear country (carried w pepper spray). The Recon seems to be the smallest/lightest kit bag that can fit a G20 with a light.
Helikon-Tex Numbat chest pouch, it has mesh on the back side and so it breaths better, it's also only 65.00 so there is that. I have a Walther PPS M2 with one spare mag in mine. You should remove the map insert so it does not interfere with your draw. The draw us the same as the HPG pouch but slightly faster since the corners are rounded.
Arizona Ranger - thanks. The mesh would be the upgrade for me. I don’t usually backpack in weather above 75, but sweating still happens and it would be great if HPG used mesh on the back of their kit bags.
@@BacktotheOutdoors Arizona is correct, it's the Helikon-Tex Numbat and it's an excellent piece of gear. Will you sweat while wearing it? Absolutely. Remove the map insert? I did. Review coming soon. I still use the Hill People Gear kit; both are very good. - Luke
The fact that the handle is held on with a friction fit is a minus, no way to secure to your leg is a minus, no swivel on belt attachment is a minus, the rattling sheath is a minus, the price is stupid high. The size of the blade is a plus, the angle of the handle is a plus. At half the price I might give it a try, but with the Terava Skrama out there at around $70. I don't see a reason to ever try anything like this at double the price and less than half the benefits.
The traditional nata are sold more widely in Japan, made of hardwood handle, high carbon steel, leather sheath that swivels, and has been part of my family gear since 199...2? 3? My father got it and he passed off to me and as long as you take good care of it, it's probably gonna outlast the Silky one
I did give the video a like, but the product for that price, weight and crappy sheath is a big no for me. Where I do see a reason for these cleaver style small machetes I can get one made by Ex Pat for ESEE knives for 1/3 of the price. With a hardwood handle even and not one that falls apart.
Needs to be in a nylon or kydex leg sheath w leg strap being adjustable. Needs to be form fitted for a QUIET and secure hold. I like Silky stuff but..... That handle being able to get loose would annoy me. I do like using a machete. But not for long backpacking trip. That job goes to my saw. Its my#1 ' go to ' pack tool. Happy New Year 🎉🎈 to All !!!
That's the Helikon-Tex Numbat chest rig and it's impressed me for the price. Currently I'm still testing it out but my review should be coming up soon. - Luke
Not gonna lie, for the price I'd rather schrade fro (sp?) For around 20 bucks. I think it's 1075hc and works flawlessly so far( had mine almost 2 years) for the price of that one I could get like 6 or 7 of the schrade ones......
Start a V & get wider as you are chopping??? That’s a lot of work. It’s the other way around. Start wide (~1.5 x DIA of material) & allow it to form the V as you chop through. Your method always has you cutting the entire diameter.
A Chinese firewood cleaver（ close to 1cm thick at the spine and wider at the tip) can easily beat this thing, and does not need the help of pounding by another firewood. The blade on this thing is just not thick and wide enough...
Actually I don't think that this product is useful because of some reasons. First of all I can do the batoning job with many other knives. Second it is too heavy for a not reusable resource. Third in horizontal logs you can easily chop thick logs but you might hurt yourself in vertical logs. That is why people invented the axe instead of sword for chopping trees.
Trade u the Ontario kukri with sheath in very good condition 1/4 inch thick 1095 steel great blade but I already have a kukri from kabar in 1080 and is the worse of the 2 mainly because of the steel difference if you’d be interested hit me up I think u would make out in a few ways like length steel shape probably price but the balls in your court my friend.
Luke, as usual great review. If I may make a recommendation, please consider reviewing the Carnivore X by Camilus. I bought one and after I wrapped the handle in paracord to absorb the shock of chopping, it has become an indispensable outdoor tool. It has a High strength, titanium coated stainless steel blade that is a multi functional. It’s very sharp right out of the box and holds an edge like nothing I’ve ever had. I have after much chopping, have sharpened it even further. The cost is only $25 available at Walmart and a guarantee you it can do anything the blade reeves today can do and more. This is now my default gift that I give to all the outdoor enthusiasts in my world. The stealth is excellent and even comes with an additional small blade.
Sorry Luke, I love your videos but that Lyons Tactical site has to be one of the worst ones I have ever visited, between the awful popup and menu options that kept changing I couldn't get anywhere on it. At least the Nata is available elsewhere in case anyone wants to pick one up.
Hey there Walt, how goes it brother? As for the Lyons site, no need to apologize to me as it is their site. I concur though, the popups are pretty bad. - Luke
Walt, sorry about your experience. Apparently, there was a small bit of code left from an earlier trial of that subscriber pop up. We didn't like it so we had it removed, but as I said, one tiny bit of code remained that triggered it still for a small number of browsers. We are appreciative that people have pointed this out as its something we were unaware of. It is supposed to be removed now, but I'll reserve finality on that until it had a day or two to be proven. A far as the menu changing? I'm not sure what you mean. I would love your feedback either here or at my personal email Ron@LyonsTactical.com if you would be willing to explain. We have a very stable, fixed menu that should never change, however, we do have over 130K products so there are many links in the menu. Again, thank you for the feedback and my apologies again for a bad experience. It's not our normal.
@@TheOutdoorGearReview I had a good e-mail exchange with Ron at Lyons, he is going to have them check the site about the menu issues and popups I saw and given the holidays I will wait and give them another try after the first of the year.
The Nata is a gardening tool , not specifically designed for the outdoors, that's why the sheath is not " tactical " rubber handle is replaceable because it will wear out long before blade is done being usable, but it is such a good tool I can't never go back to a machete .... And silky saws leave the laplander in the dust , sawdust .
Deffs isn’t a hatchet and has no where’s no the chopping capability of one, much more Comparable to a small machete. In somewhere with lots of brush it would be useful but for forestry I find machetes useless.
Ontario Knife companies version I have is quiet in its sheath, has a better quality handle and straps to your leg but heavier which could be a good thing. Good job on the locust Luke ... I have seen locust spark with a chainsaw. Darn hard wood.
Hi. Just stepped in the house from visiting family..and saw u had a video up loaded. Awesome indeed. Great review. Excellent knife. It will cut through anything in a matter of minutes. Cool!👌👍👌
Locust: Makes the best fence post, kinlin, and with the oils in it and density of the wood. Used for years by farmers as bearings for tillage disk bushings and barn siding. And best part of all.. one of the most painful quick to infect splinters in fingers that you can ever get. ( I hope you harvested that wood for future kinlin use. )
The steel is so damn hard almost impossible to sharpen. If anyone knows as easy way please let be know, I have the one with both sides beveled. Have tried ceramic carbide and diamond.
I have the same model Nata and wrapped the sheath in black gaffer tape and attached a Silky Gomboy saw for a great combo. Added a small neck knife for the small/fine work and I have all the blades needed for camping.
I know Silky for their saws. I use them for my job pruning trees. I am working on becoming a certified arborist.
I went to the link. An annoying "subscribe" pop up kept blocking the browser... yeah, no.
Stew Pidasso I found it on google for 109.99.
"The difference between the single and double is that one is for right-handed people in the other one is for splitting."
What??
Luke 👍👍 Love Silky saws, have several and use frequently. This tool, I just don't know. Enjoy!
Me too..

I have the single bevel. And I did NOT know there were different versions beside the full and single edge. Good review Bud 👌👍. Thank you.
It’s not recommended to pull out the knife when your fingers are facing the cutting edge . Should grab only the spine direction when pulling
Not sure I like it .. good for processing wood .... more fitting in a butcher’s shop ...

Intended purpose: Chopping wood.

Hey there Lady Jaay, how was your Christmas?

Silky hands down best of the best
Locust: Makes the best fence post, kinlin, and with the oils in it and density of the wood. Used for years by farmers as bearings for tillage disk bushings and barn siding. And best part of all.. one of the most painful quick to infect splinters in fingers that you can ever get. ( I hope you harvested that wood for future kinlin use. )
It also burns very hot in the stove.
Brother Awesome review but why did they taper the top end of blade? Kinda Stupid! Best Regards!
Seems like the shorter the Nata the more strikes and energy it takes to complete the cuts. I prefer the Barebones Woodsman.
Mine came with the silver case which I thought only came with the single edge model. Also the edge was not as sharp as everyone is making it out....
The steel is so damn hard almost impossible to sharpen. If anyone knows as easy way please let be know, I have the one with both sides beveled. Have tried ceramic carbide and diamond.
There's a bandaid on your finger...that knife? Ok, I see...oops!
Dang ,what bully glued you purse to your chest? Stand up for yourself bro..lol j/j
That blade style will eat green wood , like the handle shape but not the how it's made. Wrap everything camo duct tape
Silky product review, and you use a laplander saw and not a silky gomboy saw?
Currently on Lyon's website for $109 Luke....
just get a becker bk9 with custom mikarta handles and a custom kydex sheath-
I have the same model Nata and wrapped the sheath in black gaffer tape and attached a Silky Gomboy saw for a great combo. Added a small neck knife for the small/fine work and I have all the blades needed for camping.
That's a great idea to attach the Gomboy Bruce.

That weird handle makes it a no go for me. A Condor Mini Duku will work better without the weirdness.
Big bucks. 150 for a sharp wood splitter. Not for me.
It's sorta a dedicated baton tool. Kinda heavy and expensive for a specialized tool?
Can you skin a boar or deer with it? That'd be the ultimate test.
Tramontina... under 20 bucks at Lowes. ;)
Schrade froe is not as good in some aspects but in other areas its better
SAdly you are NOT using a Silky Saw in this video! LOL
That block under your log, makes me cringe!!
Hello. What bag is on your chest? Can you give a link? Thanks!
can't really use it as an axe or a knife. im sure it has its niche but as a general outdoor tooled rather have one or the other
