Perfect for those not trying to out-show the Camp-Master with a Bear Claw or Kodiak but want a little more heft for chopping chores over the Wolverine! Well done Alex!😎👍
Finaly I got my Mountain Lion...guess what I immediatly ordered a second one...😀 its such a great survival and bushcraft knife 👍👍👍 Now Im waiting that the Mountain Man and the Bear Claw will be available...cant wait any longer 😩
I really like the way you present your knives, Alex. Very compact and yet everything important is shown and explained. I'm also a fan of your "simple" knife designs (without jimping etc.). Thank you for this. :) Since I'm on team no choil, I'm already looking forward to the Wolverine Gen 2 in K329 steel. Will the tip be thinned out there as well? After the last JoeX tests, a thick[er] tip would still be very welcome. Otherwise, I find the idea of WTG knives interesting, in which the first centimeters of the blade spine before the handle are slightly rounded to increase comfort on the finger and then keep the rest of the blade spine as sharp as before.
@@auroraborealisknives4019 I have a wolverine already but if you release a copy of it in k329 you can bet I'm gonna get that one as well! That's one I've been hoping for.
Going to be grabbing one this month. Alex you said it has a convex edge. Just curious, how do you maintain/sharpen your convex edge in the woods? Thanks for the great designs!
Really great looking knife! How does it compare to your Wolverine? Thanks for all your great designs. I plan to put my Voyageur and Kodiak to work this fall and winter.
I am on the fence with this. Hear me out. It's too big for a knife and too small for a machete, and if I want something to split the wood with, I would rather take a small axe. It's a skillfully made gadget, but to me it's in a category "nice to have" rather than "must have".
There’s a reason knives in this size range are so popular some of the most popular fixed blades that come to mind are the BK7 and the Esee 6 and of course this much superior mountain lion all have one thing in common the size range makes them versatile enough to do just about anything you will need to do, you can still choke up on the knife for small tasks but you still have enough blade for larger tasks as well, while still not being anywhere near the weight of an axe but having much more versatility. There’s a reason so many soldiers carry a blade in this size range because it’s as versatile as it gets for the weight and size.
@@calebfreeborn7053 As somebody who served, I will tell you that unless you ride all day in a vehicle, you would want the smallest knife possible on you.
Good looking knife. Thanks for sharing Alex

Great review brother. I like it. I’ll be setting a reminder for October 25!!
Thank you brother 👍
Awesome Tool Brother 👌
Definitely one of my favourite 👍
Very nice knife, Alex. 😊
@@dorseyblack9833 thank you 👍
Just made a video about it today. It will be live this Friday.
@@BushCampingTools looking forward to that video brother 👍
@@auroraborealisknives4019 No problems, loving it. More videos to come plus a blog a bit later on.
Outstanding 💪💯🏆
Thank you 👍
Awesome knife buddy. Eager to get it out in the woods
Thanks brother 👍

Thanks brother. Vic is getting the Mountain Man laser cut but the ETA is early summer 2025.
Vic may have a few extra Bear Claws… you can ask him
I’m saving up for this
@@Splinter-nm3yg it’s a great do it all type knife 👍
Oh this is a must have !!
@@spektr540hemi thank you my friend
Cant wait to pick one up. I think this could easily take position as my workhorse knife for general purpose wilderness use.
That’s exactly what it was deaigned for 👍
I prefer this size over the Wolverine. 6 to 7 inch blade is what I found suits me best where I've been going. Beautiful design Alex!

@@stephangrobler5524 most of the time using a leather strop with compound is all that is necessary. If needed you could use sand paper on a mousepad
great knife as usual. is there another release of Voyageur coming up?
@@disgustipated7104 I will try to organize that

Because of thw longer blade it does chop better but it really depends if you like a clip point with a finger choil va drop point no choil
OK. Thanks for getting back to me. @@auroraborealisknives4019
Any plans on bringing back the Mountain Man for a 2nd Gen?
@@TugBuffalo06 yes sir they are scheduled for summer of 2025
Do you know if any of your larger options will be likely to return any time soon please?
Vic tells me he will have some limited guns of Kodiak and Bear claw early 2025
@@auroraborealisknives4019 thank you, that's really good to know ☺️

Many people like knives in this size range as a one tool option.
