Hello Mark, Avoid batoning with this model at all costs, as you will quickly end up causing damage to the handle; the blade will detach from the inner coating and will become loose. With very light batoning, mine lasted 10 minutes. The knife still works, but the blade now wobbles irreversibly. I should mention that I am a fan of batoning, but since this bad experience, I only use knives that can withstand it. I’m glad to see that you are doing well and that you are still regularly posting videos. Thanks again for sharing. 👍
Thanks for the advice. Thanks for commenting
Good review Mark, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
Another good looking knife there. I really do appreciate when I find anything that is cheap and functional. Thanks for sharing this one Mark.
Thanks Steve. I have a knife coming that will be the best value out there
Thank you for the tip about using a cheaper knife to learn to sharpen. I’m new to this art,so lots to learn. I enjoy your videos,have already learned a bit. Thanks
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for commenting
Appreciate the description and review, Mark. I was very curious about the tang length, given the cautions you had with the last knife you reviewed, and I was happy to hear that it seemed to have a little more "meat" to the tang than the last one. Probably not a knife I'm going to be looking at seriously, but always nice to have options!
I agree, not for everyone, especially if they can get a Mora for a few dollars more. Thanks for commenting
Greeting Mark! Thank for filming and postings.
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
Oh wow. I just sent you a comment about using a cheaper knife to learn to sharpen. Then used your tip about decathlon. Went to their site, and will have a few things delivered to the house in a small town in a week. Awesome service. I owe you one. Thanks
Decathalon is now my first place to shop when looking for outdoor gear. Thanks for commenting
Excellent video. Thanks for the review
Useful to have an inexpensive knife that you won’t worry about using , and a great backup or survival kit knife
Right on. Thanks for commenting
You always bring interesting products, and I always interested. Thank you!
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
G'day Mark, further to my comments on your previous vid.
Re: carving, when in the mood, I take a 3 piece carving kit consisting of Moras 105, 164 hook and a Companion.
Now thats all well and good for any carving/whittling I'll ever do on a small scale.
However, if you just a have single knife for carving, I reckon you need more belly than this one, especially to cater for lack of a hook knife. Personally, I tend to rely on a SAK Ranger 78 in this instance, just that bit extra belly for the concave makes all the difference IMO.
Admittedly I havent hunted in years, but I'd suggest a similar principle for a hunting/skinning job.
Cheers Duke.
Hi Duke. I have a couple of carving kits as well with dedicated sloyd knives for the fine detail. Don't often take them with me unless I plan on doing some spoon carving or similar. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I hadn't heard the term "Sloyd" before, very interesting, many thanks mate !!!
Bitta Googling reveals there's quite a few available here, dunno how its flown under my radar all these years, buy hey, never too old to learn ; ) Thanks again !!!!
Btw; I always carry a small piece of sandpaper, medium grit, say in the 200-300 range and weighs noth'n.
And incidentally a 6 in. half round metal file, many uses, but in context, makes for a great fine timber "rasp" if that makes sense.
One way to pull the knife (same as what I do with my coldsteel finn hawk because it doesn’t have a thumb ramp) is to hold on to the landyard and push off from the top of the belt loop. So in effect the top of the belt loop acts as the thumb ramp.
Good tip. Thanks for commenting
Always nice to see something with reasonable quality at a good price. I don’t know if I’d use a true scandi on a lesser metal either though, but if it comes with no bevel, it gives the choice.
It is a cheap knife all the way around. I have honed the edge a bit on a ceramic rod and created a micro-bevel that should help keep it from rolling. Thanks for commenting Jim
Thanks Mark, it’s been sold out for a while now in Canada (my local store was kind of empty a few weeks ago across the board, i wonder why they can’t maintain stock, maybe the cheap pricing requires complete turnover?) but maybe if it comes back next year at the same price…
I actually ordered mine online and had it delivered to the store where I picked it up. That way I did not have to pay shipping. Thanks for commenting
Looks nice but i think i will stay with Hultafors GK. In my country its 15 euros.(Hultafors GK 10 euros, Solognac 15 euros)
Très très bonne option, le couteau GK est très solide c'est celui que j'utilise aussi et il est vraiment étonnant, très fiable.
I agree the Hultafors GK is a better knife, especially at your price. In Canada they are considerably more expensive. Thanks for commenting
1:54 I gave a finger a good nick while gripping the sheath to pull my knife out and didn't notice one finger was above the top of the sheath... ZINNNNG ... that feeling when you know what you've done
Ouch. I can relate. Thanks for commenting
Seems like it will do the job. Have a great day!
It will at a reasonable price. Thanks for commenting
If I had that knife I would only strop it, not sharpen on a ceramic stick.
Pretty much what I do and it has created a nice micro-bevel which will help strengthen the edge as well. Thanks for commenting
Who makes that hat you are wearing.
This is my Tilley Outback. I have a video on my Tilley hats if interested. Thanks for commenting
5cr is garbage for just about everything IMHO. Much better knives for $20!
Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Thank you for sharing sir! Information is valuable for others. Cheers.
Cheap knife no 5; a little bit of...😋
