I am five years in the wait and god knows when it will be my turn to get it. In the meantime I am happily served with my LT Wright Lagom, the Jacklore, and the Woodlander by Ben Orford. All great knives!
Hey Andy, I think you have enough sharp things to keep you occupied lol. I've always wanted a Lagom but they are always sold out! Thanks for the support!👍
Excellent video my friend,I thought I was finished buying knives with my Bark River knives and Falkniven knives.Now I have to go looking for a Skokum Bushcraft,thanks Wade.👍👍🤣😂
My absolute favourite knife I own,great design takes a razor edge with ease and keeps it great, As great as it is I’d never pay what i see them go for on second hand market tho nuts!
It's a great looking knife, and you know what they say, good things come to those who wait. Glad you have been able to get back to camping 🏕🔥🔪👌 Thanks again Wade and take care mate 👍🙂
When you grasped it at the beginning I knew your conclusion already. When you demonstrated its abilities (very well may I say) I was envious. I have a knife that I picked up at an antique shop several years ago. Not fancy, not expensive, basic, no name, well used but still very solid, one of my first bushcraft knives. I have bought several knives since (a bad addiction budget-wise☹😔) But that knife made by who knows is awesome. I keep using it. Why? Because it is solid because I just love it and because of how it "feels" when I work with it. Why do I even bring that up to you? Well, I think I sensed that same vibe about your Skookum that I felt about my 'no name' when I begin to use it, through your video. There is just something about using a knife that 'feels' right, does the job well, and imparts a joy of use that other knives don't seem to impart even if they "are as good?" So thanks for sharing and many happy adventures with your Skookum Bushtool. And yes I am envious but also very happy that your wait was not a disappointed one.
Man....that's crazy long time to wait. I just looked and I ordered mine in 2014 and got it in 2018. Either way its a phenomenal knife and enjoyed your video.
Wow, that was some wait. I got my SBT in 01 steel back in 2009 after a an 18 month wait, The SBT is wicked, processes deer and wood efficiently. Congratulations
Thanks very much for watching! It took me 18 months to get a email returned! Lol😂😂😂 I'm not complaining actually, Rod was great to deal with, polite and professional!👍
The SBT was on my wish list for the longest time. The closest I got is a Triple X Sitka. Shares much of the same design philosophy. Thanks for sharing Wade
Me: "man those are nice feather sticks" Wade: "this isn't my best example of a feather stick" :) Great vid Wade. Knife is gorgeous, I know it's going to a good home.
Great to see you enjoy your new toy. The only Scandi grind I could get in South Africa is a Morakniv Companion. But we are not big on Bushcraft. Sure enjoy your video 👍
I just bought a Bushtool from the UK knife maker that you mentioned, as I have wanted a Skookum for quite some time. Anyway I received it a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it. Outstanding quality! Look forward to the video.
@@Woodswalker1965 lol, I guess I don’t know your UK knife maker! My Bushtool came from A.S Harding knives, Certainly not inexpensive but the happiest I have ever been with any knife I’ve received. This one will be a favourite for some time for sure.
Great video Wade. Excellent carving instructions as well. That knife is Awsome! No telling how many generations that knife will last. Love 3V as well. My favorite knife is the Lt. Wright Lagom Bush knife. I have 4 of them in O1 steel. Hopefully they will offer them in 3V some day. When they do my credit card will melt!😁 Thanks for sharing. Take care and God Bless.
Awesome vid Wade, I enjoyed it really much, love seeing the skookum being used, thanks for sharing great content on TH-cam, cheers mate👌🏻 By the way, looking forward to the other MK😁
An enjoyable review..many thanks. I have Rob Evans version as a fine representation of Mors design and it’s awesome. I’ve an Andaltool too which, again, is beautifully balanced and a pleasure to use.
Greetings Brother Wade! The Skookum Bush Tool design has indeed a great heritage from a great man. Over many years I have accumulated over 50 knives. I make a few knives and put a lot of thought into blade size, shape and profiles; less so to the type of steel because of the blade design is out of whack, then the latest 'supersteel' will not reach its intended potential. More recently I have focused on handle ergonomics as I believe that a custom fit handle is the making or breaking of a great knife. I recently cut off the micarta handle on an American Knife Company Forest Knife as I found it very uncomfortable to a point where the knife was not able to achieve its potential in my hand. I replaced the scales with ones I had fashioned from Alder Root and I did a lot of trial and error to get it perfect from my needs. That said, some of the more well thought out 'bushcraft' knives have decent handles, but you can only say that based on your own experiences of use in the field over sustained use. My good buddy across the valley is on the waitlist for a SBT (another 2 years to go, I think); he changes his knives more often than I change my socks...LOL! As always, stay safe my friend, all the best to you, WS
Nice review and glad you're happy with it. My go to is an ESEE 4, while not hand crafted it is still sufficient. Its pretty dang tough and if I were to lose it, I would be able to replace it with another without too much hassle. Sometimes good enough is good enough.
@@Woodswalker1965 Wade, hope you don't think I am knocking your choice. Its a beauty. I also have a more expensive LT Wright knife, I just don't use it for 'hard core' work.
If one cares about exclusivity and wants to wait and pay for it, so be it. It seemed to perform knife jobs well. Is it any more effective than a $100 Mora Bushcraft Black? Didn’t see anything to make me think so. I used my Mora last night for the first time in ages. It normally gets left in the drawer in favour of one of my more expensive knives. I was impressed all over again by the performance and value offered by it.
This is a nice knife. It does what needs doing. So will a Mora Companion robust in stainless. You can always spend as much money as you want to feel like you have the best blade but in many cases all it proves is that a fool and their money are soon or in this case slowly parted. I'm happy if you're happy.
The Mora Companion is a good knife for the price, but it simply can't compete with a high end knife on many levels. A Mora is stamped out in a factory, Idon't mind paying more for a handmade item of superior quality. That s just me I guess. I'm very happy with my purchase of the Tribute knife as I am happy with the many Mora knives I own. Cheers!
Wade, i am glad for you you finally have it after this long period of time. Its not only a very good knife in a very great steel, it has emotional value to you too. That makes it even more value. I like it, its ergonomics are special. And it fits your Hand perfect. Thanks for the upload, i am sure you had great days. You still are my featherstick-king lol. Great curls. I am looking forward to the uk review. I think i know what comes next. And again my question: How did you get one? :-)
Hey buddy, hope all is well! I'm very happy with this Skookum! The way to get one is to email Rod Garcia and hope he replies back🤞 Lol! He's a very respectful and polite guy he just doesn't get back to people very quickly. Take care buddy!👍
Great video Wade. Lovey looking knife mate. I watched a few videos where Mors made his knives from old leaf spring from trucks. I like he blade shape and the sheath looks like a nice piece of leather. The knife looks like it handled the tasks with ease mate. Great stuff. It looks like you have dropped on with some nice weather for the trip. Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark! Yes Mors was never really a fancy knife guy or a fancy guy at all. A knife made from a leaf spring or an old sawmill blade with a hockey stick handle would do him just fine. Anything in the hands of a master like him looked like a $1000 blade! Take care Mate, nice to touch base with you👊
Hi! I was wondering if this is the knife you'll always be using from now on or if you'll still use other ones in certain areas. Because some exercises are rougher than others, will you be a bit careful with this knife or trust in its quality? I got the Hultafors ok4 after watching your video about it so I wouldn't have to use my father's old, nicer ones when batoning and such. Thanks for a great video and amazing content over all. Best wishes from Sweden.
That's a good question and funny you should mention the OK4. I will switch up knives, this one was long awaited so I might baby it a little bit. Someone asked me to recommend a nice inexpensive knife, I always say the OK4, better than a Mora in my humble opinion. Take care and thanks for watching 👍
Yes it is possible to order a knife. The process is strange, you send a email and you may never get a response until years later. I waited 18 months for a response and 72 months for the knife. No deposit required. Thanks for watching my friend🔪🙏
Great review and awesome you finally got it but I did cringe a little when you dropped it to the ground to grab something, thats the whole purpose of the neck carry sheath so you don't have to do that lol I hope next weeks knife is from Rob Evans cuz if its from sandy ill die lol but both of those gentlemen make exquisite knives
I guess all that matters is if it makes you happy. I myself prefer cheap knives. But if everyone had the same taste what a boring world it would be. Really lately I'm very happy with my $39 BPS adventurer knife. I really can't believe how nice a knife I got for so cheap. That said that is a very nice looking knife you got there I can see why you like it. An 3v is awesome steel. Not going to have to sharpen that one often.
Thanks for the comment, you are exactly right my friend! One of my favorite knives is a Hultafors OK4. It's reasonably priced and works wood very well. Take care!
Dude I have seen a few of them sell for over 1000 dollars on ebay. It is a good investment. I can see them sell for thousands after he stops making them.
Hey Wade, 6 years to get a knife …amazon ships in 6 days … ! Btw is that a T3 from Tilley you are wearing ? I have about 8 Tilleys of my own. Proudly made in Canada !
It is a long time but you know how time flies...... Rod doesn't take any money until your knife is ready and I bought many knives while I waited😉✌️. Thanks for stopping by!
? Number 1 thing you do with the knife is make fire ? The number 1 thing I do with my knife is cut up grub for meals then next I use it to cut cordage and whittle toggles and stakes in camp , the third maybe forth would be constructing or making modifications to shelters. Then playing around making feathersticks and whittling shavings for tender. The next would be maybe to baton as a last resort if I couldn't whittle a wedge , then strike a ferrous rod if I couldn't find my strikers. My knives are very valuable and I keep them in top condition for use as a knife . I have a light hatchet ,Corona saw , and a big beater Bowie knife as a camp tool . If I had to wait 6years for a knife I would tuck it in to bed next to me at night to keep it warm .
Those bush craft scandi grind blades are fine for fiddling around camp and i do but ill take a convex grind for a more all around real woods knife most of the time the grind can do feather sticks maybe not the real purdy types but good enough to do what feather sticks should lol cut carve and and skin big and small game very well i might add but if your in to wood carving then scandi grinds might be best .
@richardnichols1392 Very well said. Scandi work wood the best but a convex is stronger for sure. I usually have a convex or a scandi-vex in my pack as well. Thanks for the comment!👍
@@Woodswalker1965 I always watch your videos, man. Love your content. I just hope you don't find my comment to be negative. It was not meant to be. Thank you.
No not at all brother, I appreciate your comment and totally get it! I like LT Wright knives a lot, in fact I believe they are the finest high production knives out there! Take care my friend🤙
pure fashions, each one creates his circus and then tries to invent the wheel by taking out one more of the hundreds of knives that are spinning around, what counts is the language not so much the arrow, greetings
Once again, you’ve shown your mastery of the CRAFT. Well done! I’m sure you have a long list of knives you’d like to review on your channel.

Hey brother ,thanks for stopping by, I know you love your Skookum!
I had to wait 8 years to get mine. I had given up. Then one day I got an email from Rod. The rest is history.
So worth it though! Thanks for sharing that👊
Excellent video mate.
I'm looking forward to the next one.
I wonder who the UK knifemaker is.....
I'll give you one guess lol,🍻see you next week!
Good for you to get your hands on that knife Wade. Bring you years of joy for sure. You take care my friend.🇺🇸🔪🔥🌲
Thanks for your support buddy! Take care👍

Some great tips in there, thank you! Those sunny breezy days are gems. Glad you got out to enjoy it all.
Thanks buddy, it was a fun video to make 👍
Oh wow I would like to get one of those awesome knives.

Sure is! Thanks for stopping by 👍
Aww man! Congratulations Wade!🎉🎉🎉🤩🤩🤩 That will make a nice family heirloom to pass down.
Thanks for watching buddy, it is a beauty!👍

Happy Fathers Day, Wade ! Your Wait Was Worth Every Day It Took To Arrive Awesome Blade ! ATB T God Bless
Thanks Terry, all the best to you as well!👍
Congratulations on the SBT Wade! That is one of the most famous Buschcraft Grail Knives ever made.
Thanks buddy, I'm very fortunate to get one!
@@Woodswalker1965 It’s good to see the Skookum in the hands of someone that gets out and uses the knife. 👍

Lagom knife look similar, works very well too.
The Lagom is difficult to get as well, always sold out. I keep trying!
The SBT was on my wish list for the longest time. The closest I got is a Triple X Sitka. Shares much of the same design philosophy. Thanks for sharing Wade
Thanks Mark, I've still not tried a Sitka after all these years. One day maybe....
Wow what a perfect knife, 6 years waiting for it though that's tough. Good things always take time.
Time flies when you get to a certain age😉
Me: "man those are nice feather sticks"
Wade: "this isn't my best example of a feather stick"
:) Great vid Wade. Knife is gorgeous, I know it's going to a good home.
Haha thanks for stopping by buddy🍻
It’s a beauty Wade .... I’m gonna try to get an Andaltool Knife Mors Used a lot in later years but I see the appeal great design !
I had my eyes on the James Andal version too my friend. It looks amazing ! Hope you're well brother!👊
@maritimespook and @woodswalker1965
You both would love the andal tool such a well-thought-out design
I've always missed them when they come on sale, smart thing is to get on a list I guess.
Enjoyed watching the video, glad to see you’re out there more Wade!
Thanks buddy, it's going to be a great summer👍
Great video Wade.
Fantastic presentation and in depth demonstration.
Thats a knife worth waiting for.
Enjoy your stay in the woods brother.
Cheers 👍
Thanks Paul, take care bud!
Wade, Seems like the 6 year wait was worth it. It does all the knife stuff very well. Another good video. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

The number 1 thing I do with my knife is cut up grub for meals then next I use it to cut cordage and whittle toggles and stakes in camp , the third maybe forth would be constructing or making modifications to shelters.
Then playing around making feathersticks and whittling shavings for tender. The next would be maybe to baton as a last resort if I couldn't whittle a wedge , then strike a ferrous rod if I couldn't find my strikers.
My knives are very valuable and I keep them in top condition for use as a knife .
I have a light hatchet ,Corona saw , and a big beater Bowie knife as a camp tool .
If I had to wait 6years for a knife I would tuck it in to bed next to me at night to keep it warm .
Thanks for the comment👍
Those bush craft scandi grind blades are fine for fiddling around camp and i do but ill take a convex grind for a more all around real woods knife most of the time the grind can do feather sticks maybe not the real purdy types but good enough to do what feather sticks should lol cut carve and and skin big and small game very well i might add but if your in to wood carving then scandi grinds might be best .
@richardnichols1392 Very well said. Scandi work wood the best but a convex is stronger for sure. I usually have a convex or a scandi-vex in my pack as well. Thanks for the comment!👍

Thanks for watching 👍
Excellent knife, man! I have a similar channel! I just subscribed!
Thanks brother👊
@@Woodswalker1965 welcome, bro
Nice knife. However, I don't think it is 6 years better than my LT Wright in CPM 3V.
I own a few LTs, nice knives. I have a Genesis and a GNS.. Thanks for watching👍
@@Woodswalker1965 I always watch your videos, man. Love your content. I just hope you don't find my comment to be negative. It was not meant to be. Thank you.
No not at all brother, I appreciate your comment and totally get it! I like LT Wright knives a lot, in fact I believe they are the finest high production knives out there!
Take care my friend🤙
pure fashions, each one creates his circus and then tries to invent the wheel by taking out one more of the hundreds of knives that are spinning around, what counts is the language not so much the arrow, greetings
Once again, you’ve shown your mastery of the CRAFT. Well done!
I’m sure you have a long list of knives you’d like to review on your channel. Please consider adding the Joker BS9 Canadiense to the list, if it’s not already there. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
