Okay, I just picked one up after watching your review. It's amazing. I was totally surprised at how comfortable it feels in the hand. What really sold me was that you said there was no hot spots after extended use, despite the bow drill divot. You were 100% spot on - White River did an amazing job machining that area to make it feel...dare I say...soft. Thanks for making this video!
I received mine today. It is a beautiful knife and the box/presentation is exceptional. I think it is well worth the purchase price. I guess I was lucky because they sold out the day after I ordered mine.
Tim, really enjoyed your review of this knife. You're becoming one of my favorite channels to watch for this type of content. I want mention the other channel I watch regularly but he won't do a bow still demonstration when reviewing this type of knife. I enjoyed how your inserted the clip for the bow drill demonstration without audio. It really was a good way to tie everyting together in the video😀
Nice review! I think you should try to use the fire steel divot, by holding the knife with the edge towards you and letting the divot (pointing away from you) focus the sparks on the tinder.
Really nice video.Ive been looking at this knife for a long time but there's not too many reviews on it.Ive got a TOPS Bob and have been thinking about upgrading but I'm scared I'll end up with something I don't like.
Excellent review Tim. I have been looking at this knife for some time I just never pulled the trigger. That redwood took nice. I would like to see the 7.
Excellent knife, love the reverse tanto tip and the not too thick blade stock. My only concern is the handle, not the thickness but I find it too 'straight'. Having the handle slightly te curved would mean being my go-to. As it is, it skips my rotation 😕
I have both fc 3.5 and the 5, the 3.5 worked well with starting fires, making fire sticks, I used a bigger feracium rod that's wider as well works alot better than what they give you. You also have more room to work with..good for small work, I liked it so well I bought the fc 5 and I'm looking to test it out, it definitely looks like you can build a shelter with it if you have to.
Exolent knife that and choper is all thats needed for the outdoors can you guess what choper ,im talking about hint,, i call it bever tooth ? Cuzz you can walk around a 15 diameter tree and chomp it down like a bever . With no problem's
This is a nice looking knife! I'm a big fan of the 5" survival blade, that length is the sweet spot for me when it comes to knives I bring into the field with me (camping, exploring, etc.). The only issue I think I would have is the small handle. I have larger hands, too, and some knives just don't fit. As for just about the perfect knife for me is the LT Wright Forest Trail. That baby fits perfectly in my hand!
I bought one and it's worth it. It is expensive but I took this knife on 10 camping trips and used it for all my bushcrafting and it held up. Took some time to sharpen it again but not anything to cry about.
Thanks for the review Tim. I have an observation on the bow drill divot. As I am right handed like you, is it possible to have the company move the divot to the other side so that it doesn’t dig into your hand? I mean that is a great left handed knife but could they make it for right handed people? I would love to have one of them, but I don’t want something that would become uncomfortable to me over time. The only fixed blade I currently own is a Navy K-Bar that my father gave me. It is still in fairly good shape but isn’t made for bush crafting. Thank you again for your time and energy on making these informative videos and your honest feedback.
Lynn Masoner we don't want someone using it with the blade twards themselves. Even though it can be used in the sheath, alot will use it woithout the sheath.
Jason Tietz Jason thanks for the response. But being right handed I always turn the blade away from my body and I never grab a bare blade. But I was just curious if it was possible or could it be special ordered that way?
I love that knife but at this point I just won't pay that much for a knife that I would have to get better sheath made for it. I hate that sheath n the snap is placed wrong. I do really like this knife n like the smaller handles.
Would love to see more from these guys, I like this knife and it's sheath a lot! Thanks Tim!
Good review man. Enjoyed the vid.
+BudgetBugout Thanks man. I was checking out your Christmas idea videos - good stuff!

Cool knife
Really nice video.Ive been looking at this knife for a long time but there's not too many reviews on it.Ive got a TOPS Bob and have been thinking about upgrading but I'm scared I'll end up with something I don't like.
I think the spindle divet location would work best for me , a lefty! Also would like to see the knife in 7” blade form. Great vid , thanks!
gonna get the FC7

I feel the notch is there so you can sharpen up the edges if a lot of fire striking erodes it.
Nice
I like every thing about this knife.
More crap I need to spend money on lol!
I have both fc 3.5 and the 5, the 3.5 worked well with starting fires, making fire sticks, I used a bigger feracium rod that's wider as well works alot better than what they give you.

Thinking of getting the 5, how do you like it compared to the 3.5?
Exolent knife that and choper is all thats needed for the outdoors can you guess what choper ,im talking about hint,, i call it bever tooth ? Cuzz you can walk around a 15 diameter tree and chomp it down like a bever . With no problem's
I wanna see the FC7

Does this knife have a saber grind? Also is S 3VN safe to baton with?
MSK-1 review
Yeah I'm interested in white river looks better than a bark river knife I have a seven on layaway as we speak thanks for all your great reviews
bushcrfter791 glad to help
thats what im looking... but im just starting out and i cant do that price 😢
Cool blade, too expensive tho.
Thanks for the review and video.

Have you ever used the FC7?
I'm diggin' this piece... Hear that Santa?
I'm sure he did. He always watching, even when your sleeping
Great knife for sure but at $280.00 is too steep for my budget.
Show us the fc7
Nice knife and good review, thanks. The only question left in my mind after watching is what is the approx price point for this knife?
Rick C looking around $240
It’s exactly like a condor selknam
I'm looking for the ultimate survival knife. What knife is better than this?
Here are my top five th-cam.com/video/57eLCz0lrt8/w-d-xo.html
Same price as Bark River? Are the only advantages over a Barkie the bow drill socket and "better" sheath?
Can come with sheath and their steels are s35vn which is better than most of their steels.. depending on your needs
Kydex sheath*
Price?
I love that knife but at this point I just won't pay that much for a knife that I would have to get better sheath made for it. I hate that sheath n the snap is placed wrong. I do really like this knife n like the smaller handles.
also available with our Kydex sheath system
@@MrTietzj3 shouldn't have a spear point. Also bad customer service. Wont respond to emails or Facebook messages
Why dangle these sheaths off the belt?
nice knife, maybe wearing a glove may ease that hotspot you had
First to comment
That's a shame... The one I'm looking at has a standard ol kydex sheath versus that beautiful sheath
Is that sheath ambidextrous?
no
