I'm working on a staff for my grandfather as a gift. That bad boy would come in handy so much sense I'm only using a few hand tools (pocket knife, Leatherman, old file) to do it, all I have actually lol. I put a compass in the top and it was really tough trying to dig it out with just a pocket knife. That tool would be perfect. I hope they come back in stock soon! Great review!
Can't go wrong with a Old Timer. I can remember the Old Time Knife my dad always had in his pocket. This knifes are perfect to take along on camping and hiking trips.
I had often thought of buying a carving jack but couldn't justify the price. This Old Timer is much more affordable. I will have to take a look at it. I really appreciate that you didn't just talk about the knife, you actually made something with it... Oh the trials and tribulations of being a TH-camr.... LOL...Thanks for sharing Mike
+Mark Young (Shunpyke) I think you would like this Mark. And it won't break the bank. I wish I'd have had the time to finish the spoon and make it nice but I did the best I could with the time I had. Thanks for watching!
+Survival On Purpose thanks Bryan. You were the first one I thought of when I realized what I had done. I think you had that happen fairly recently Ifni recall correctly.
LOL at the end!!! >;) I have seen at least two other videos on this knife in just about a week now, however, you are the only one who has filmed the different tools actually being used!!! So good for YOU Sir!!! Big thumbs up!
I have got to get one of these. Thanks so much for the review. I've been carving with a Mora that I keep in my pack but I can keep this in my pocket and carve anytime. Thanks again.
Looks like an excellent knife - I have the American made original and it also is a fine piece of gear but it is expensive - totally worth it because the blades lock in position so it’s very safe and come with thick leather pouch - the sharade is less expensive so it’s worth it as a edc - the American one is from the FLEX brand and truly is a craftsman tool - great video - I’m gonna buy one of the Chinese made carving tool - thanks for taking time to show
Wow I would love to give one a try..I have quite a few Schrade knives. I have just brought 2 full tang knives one was the older model and then the new 52 but they may be a $30 knife over there in the US but to get them here to Australia they are $100 plus.Postage is a killer..I would like to buy the Old Timer 240T but when I look I bet it is $130 at a guess,it's a pity. Cheers ..Great videos..
Oh wow! That is absolutely awesome knife! Excellent pocket tool kit. And the price is more than fair I´d say. I love it! Perfect tool to pack in ones back pack for outdoor trips. Or even EDC. Schrade makes lots of cool products that are highly affordable. Great review! Thank you :) Big thumbs up!
That looks pretty cool and I think I want one. I am also excited to see Schrade making a folding pocket knife (albeit a specialty one) out of carbon steel. The old (pre-Taylor, American made) Schrade Old Timer trapper and stockman pattern knives - with carbon steel blades - were my favorite pocket knives of the type. Schrade still makes trapper and stockman model knives that look almost exactly like the older ones and I would love to see Schrade expand the use of carbon steel to include some of those models. I also enjoyed your review. There are a few TH-camrs from whom I enjoy watching knife/gear reviews, including Chris Tanner and Brian at Survival On Purpose. With your videos, I always enjoy your approach which often seem less like a review and more like a buddy saying, "Hey, I got this new knife. Check it out." You are still thorough in what you show - and I do still enjoy the approach others take, as well, but your style just adds some nice variety to the review.
+JAB 619 I'm planning on saying something to them about the possibility of making some of their traditional knives in carbon steel. I think they would sell well. Their Genuine Bone line is really nice and has an upgraded stainless steel but there are a lot of folks who would buy carbon. I appreciate your kind words in my video style. I try to keep it informal but informative.
I appreciate the info on each tool. I have had trouble finding real uses for all of them haha! I agree this knife kicks butt! Sharp out of the box and stays that way. I made a sheath because it was a little big in my pocket but I like to have it with me! I believe though Taylor/Schrade sold to a Chinese company. Sadly in 2004 these knives are not only made in China, they are owned by China lol. I really don't like that, but for the price and quality of this knife, it is worth it. I also own a Chinese Schrade doctors knofe that I have enjoyed very much, even with the funky Chinese stainless, it is sharp and well built. Not as nice as the old US Schrade knives in my opinion. This is a great little knife though, and thanks for the ideas on how I can use my blades... I will have more wood spoons than I know what to do with haha!
Best look at that tool that I've seen to date. You sold me on it. I think the Flexcut brand pocket carver/whittler was the tool you were thinking about.
Got one and the only complaint I have is one of the gougers came as sharp as a tennis ball and took a fair bit of fixing but on the plus side it's very handy and in the UK American made knife prices (and many other products) are often hugely inflated so a Flexcut was never an option. Worth what you pay for it and the extra work it needed.
the music at the end kinda killed me :) Don't worry about it...happened to me a lot Great knife! I don't know if I should thank you for presenting it or be mad at you since I got into these style of knives a while ago and just bought the Schared Uncle Henry Master...This one would have been a much better choice! Guess I have to see how I can get one over here... Worse than forgetting to turn on your microphone...that would be me filming a test for 20 minutes and forgetting to make sure the camera started filming! :))Thanks again! Have a great weekend!
+SpartanJohns yeah, sorry about that. Technical difficulties...Check out the Old Timer Genuine Bone series as well. I have a review on my channel. They are quite nice. This is definitely worth checking out. I think you will enjoy it. Thanks for watching!!
The only vid I have found for sharpening the OT 20 is for the Flexcut version.....NO ONE has a vid on sharpening this knife. Some reviewers have mentioned their plans to make such a video but none have done it....
The blades are an exact copy of the Flexcut carvin Jack knife. I have had the the Flexcut knife for years. The Flexcut knife steel is very good and they lock in place. Is Flexcut making the blades or is Schrade making a copy of the Flecut? Very dangerous not to have the blades lock in place.
The FlexCut Carvin' Jack is way more expensive but all tools lock. With carving like this, the force is applied to keep the blades from folding back so shouldn't be a problem. Think I'll get this Shrade one
I got this knife as a Christmas present with a gift card. I've been trying tonget an edge on the knife since Tuesday. I'm ready tonthrow it in the garbage. I'm a beginner carver and it frustrating me. Any suggestions. Strop does not seem to help.
I have been eyeing this type of tool for a while but the price kept me from buying. Now that I have a $25 Amazon gift card I can afford one of these. Question - I am left handed and they don't that option, how easy could a lefty use this tool? Thanks for sharing..
Need THREE! One to Ship to a friend overseas, one for the Emergency Bag, and one for EDC. And as I told others, if you can't carve a Bow Drill set or make a Feather Stick or strike a Ferro Rod with that in your hand, you shouldn't be out in the Woods alone.
I love the price and design but it really does stink it's non-locking blades with something that requires so many different handle/cutting techniques. The biggest knock for me though is they don't offer a left handed version. Great video Mike, very handy to have.
A left handed version would be nice. Maybe they will release one if this does well. I didn't have an issue with the slip joint design but I could see where a locking design might be beneficial.
I'm so tempted to buy one of these just to have and play with it. But honestly, I can't see it replacing the wood carving tools that I have. Most of the time I just use a short extremely sharp straight blade, however after that blade the most useful tool I've found is a small regular V-chisel NOT bent 90 degs at the end, and something like the smaller curved blade for scooping material out of a hollow. Also, I can see from your carving that the blades come somewhat sharp, but not whistling polished sharp that can easily cut right across end grain like I need. Nice idea, but I'm gonna have to pass.
"Had" is the key word there. William Collins shared this knife with us at Survivalist Base Camp on Facebook and I immediately went to order one from TaylorBrandsLLC for $39, but they didn't accept American Express. Then William posted another link at KnivesPlus and I snatched one for $22.96/shipped to New York. They literally sold out within minutes as other SBC members moved in and scooped them up. We wiped them out.
Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors Right now I think they are only available on Schrade's website. The one they knocked off is made by Flexcut available in both left and right handed versions.
forgot to turn on the microphone? that's priceless!! at least he had the guts not to edit it out. looks like a great new addition to the Schrade line. makes me want to take up woodcarving.
+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors No offense intended, just wanted to point out what a good sport you must be. Enjoyed your video and look forward to more. Already entered Schrade's contest. Thanks for the reply. T.W.
Sweet! Thank you for the video. I really want 1 of these, even though I cannot use it being paralyzed from the shoulders down.. That doesn't mean it wouldn't go unused. Anyways, good job.
Great video, I just found a giveaway on FB and wanted to see what AL this knife could do. Very impressive. I've been wanting to get into whittling but don't have the right tools for it. Hopefully I can get one with the giveaway.
Didn’t much care for this knife at first. Then I took your advice from another video to change the grind on the straight blade. Finally getting a decent edge on it. Hoping that will solve the problem. Terribly dull out of the box. We will see. Got mine for $17.99 from Amazon, not $30.
Nice video! Do you know if they intend on making a lefty version? I've been eyeing the flexcut carvin jack for a while, but it's pricey. They do make a lefty version though, so I may be stuck paying the higher price.
You said that Schrade was a family owned company but that seems not to be the case anymore since 2004, so they closed the factories after 100 years, now the name is owned by Taylor Brands and used for marketing purposes only. But I gotta say this is an awesome piece of kit.
Thanks for the review, changed my mind from the Flexcut to Schade. I like your videos very much but can you either so putting music while you are taking our turn down the volume as I really want to hear what you have to say, and the music is a little of putting. Just my 2 cents worth :) Thanks, Eddie.
I already have the Flexcut Carvin' Jack. So I won't be buying one of these. But that does look like a nice whittler. My knife system is 1) The Carvin' Jack for detailed woodwork. 2) Cabala's Alpha Guide Series knife for all food processing. 3) Jessica-X for heavy wood processing. I'm considering whether to get a dedicated bushcraft knife. Maybe a Mora Garberg. (?) I also have a Gransfors Bruk Scandinavian axe for if I know I'll be doing some heavy tree work. But I generally don't take it with me for a two or three day hike. I would definitely take it with me in a SHTF scenario.
+IamNemoN01 that makes perfect sense. A Cabelas Alpha Guide? Nice choice. You don't see that takes about to much. Do you like it? I'm not a fan of the X but it's very capable. I use a Terava Skrama in that role. The Garberg is pretty hard to beat. I removed the secondary bevel on mine and like it quite a bit more now. Check my channel for my review of the Terava Jakaripukko 110. That is another good option.
I never saw a Teraba Skrama until now. It reminds me of my old chopper - the 13HD Machete (KHHI Parang) made by Kukri House. Unfortunately it was stolen by a narcissistic relative, so I had to get something new, and the Jess-X fit the bill. I love the Gransfors Bruk, but that handle is so long, and I'm not a fan of hatchets. And it's harder to miss and injure yourself with a long blade than it is with an axe head . . . As far as the Cabela's/Buck's Alpha, I like it. I mostly use it for processing food (meats, fish, and vegetables). You just can't beat a concave edge for sharpness. I also shave with a straight razor - and I can get the Alpha sharp enough to shave. I go down to a 30,000 grit Shapton hone on my straights, and I touch up the Alpha to the same sharpness. I try to avoid the temptation to use the Alpha on wood. That's why I'm thinking of a dedicated bushcraft knife. I'll definitely check out your channel, and your knife recommendations. There are so many good options when it comes to bushcraft knives!
I'm working on a staff for my grandfather as a gift. That bad boy would come in handy so much sense I'm only using a few hand tools (pocket knife, Leatherman, old file) to do it, all I have actually lol. I put a compass in the top and it was really tough trying to dig it out with just a pocket knife. That tool would be perfect. I hope they come back in stock soon! Great review!
+Survival of the Fittest thanks for watching. Sounds like a cool project!
makeing my self a little slipjoint for whittiling while watching this lovely little knives.
Can't go wrong with a Old Timer. I can remember the Old Time Knife my dad always had in his pocket. This knifes are perfect to take along on camping and hiking trips.
+Barbara Riffe it really is.
Nice to see a knife review with the knife in action.
I had often thought of buying a carving jack but couldn't justify the price. This Old Timer is much more affordable. I will have to take a look at it. I really appreciate that you didn't just talk about the knife, you actually made something with it... Oh the trials and tribulations of being a TH-camr.... LOL...Thanks for sharing Mike

That knife has my name all over it! Great video! You made the sell and I will have me one. Thank you for sharing! And for turning your mic on!
+Bill Cosner lol! You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Awesome old timer knife vid! Thanks for showing this knife in your vid!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful little worker. Lots of possibilities.
+Sean MacDonald it's definitely able to do more than my skills will allow.
Thanks for actually using the various tools!
+kirkdevlin11 yes sir. I always try to do reviews based on real world use
100% excellent video Mike. I have done the "silent film" thing myself way too many times.
+Survival On Purpose thanks Bryan. You were the first one I thought of when I realized what I had done. I think you had that happen fairly recently Ifni recall correctly.
LOL at the end!!! >;) I have seen at least two other videos on this knife in just about a week now, however, you are the only one who has filmed the different tools actually being used!!! So good for YOU Sir!!! Big thumbs up!
Thanks Charles. I wanted to give a close up, working perspective of the knife. I thought it would be more valuable for folks thinking of buying one.
Well Amigo, once again you thought right.
I enjoy using mine. Caught a sale and got it for closer to $20. Ready to carve right out of the box.
I wish Schrade would make more of their "traditional-style" knives with carbon steel.
Good video BTW.
+torch_ss thanks. I've had a lot of folks say that. I'm going to say something to Schrade.
Looks like a great knife! I found it online for $18.97 and ordered two :) I will be doing a review on the knife when it arrives.
Great price! Enjoy!
I have got to get one of these. Thanks so much for the review. I've been carving with a Mora that I keep in my pack but I can keep this in my pocket and carve anytime. Thanks again.
+Michal Adkins yeah, I think I might need to make a little leather belt pouch for mine.
Looks like an excellent knife - I have the American made original and it also is a fine piece of gear but it is expensive - totally worth it because the blades lock in position so it’s very safe and come with thick leather pouch - the sharade is less expensive so it’s worth it as a edc - the American one is from the FLEX brand and truly is a craftsman tool - great video - I’m gonna buy one of the Chinese made carving tool - thanks for taking time to show
Have not seen one of these before! Thank you.
Excellent tool wow carbon steel. Way to go schrade. Would love to have one.
i ordered one of these a few days ago. cant wait till it arrives so i can make some spoons.
Now that's well thought out ! Would love to call it mine.
+Peter Lenahan order yourself one. They should be widely available soon.
Such a perfect knife this is. I need a few of them. One for the pack and one for the shop.
They are affordable enough to purchase a few.
cool....nice little tool/knife
+keith lessar it's a lot of fun
This beauty would solve many of my bushcraft problems! :-)
Great video!
+Glenio Madruga it will do a lot of work.
That is a very cool knife!
It works well and is a LOT of fun to use.

+n8mayfield this has you written all over it Nate
Yes sir it does, I've had the carving jack in my Amazon cart for over 3 years now, just can't seem to buy it haha, but this will do
That looks like a pretty sweet tool. I've been thinking of getting into whittling, I'll probably pick one up.
Good review, thanks.
You’re welcome. It’s very handy. I gave mine to a friend. I need to replace it!
Good video, I really like that carving knife I can't wait for them to come out
I think these are going to be a huge seller for Schrade. Thanks for watching!
Sure would love one of these carvers.
+DrDennis77 good luck with the giveaway
Fantastic vid, Mike!I always enjoy your perspective!Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks, Mark
Thanks Mark.
I can't wait to get one of those! Thanks for the video

+Rhonda Stokes I afree
That was a very good review on a unique knife.
I would enjoy using this tool...and did enjoy your video....
For the price your getting a lot for your money. They hit a home run with this knife.
I agree. This is a really cool blade.
the music at the end kinda killed me :)
Don't worry about it...happened to me a lot
Great knife! I don't know if I should thank you for presenting it or be mad at you since I got into these style of knives a while ago and just bought the Schared Uncle Henry Master...This one would have been a much better choice!
Guess I have to see how I can get one over here...
Worse than forgetting to turn on your microphone...that would be me filming a test for 20 minutes and forgetting to make sure the camera started filming! :))Thanks again! Have a great weekend!
+SpartanJohns yeah, sorry about that. Technical difficulties...Check out the Old Timer Genuine Bone series as well. I have a review on my channel. They are quite nice. This is definitely worth checking out. I think you will enjoy it. Thanks for watching!!
I heard a lot about this knife too, I really want one. good review on the knife my man.
+vonkaz52 thanks. Order one. They should be widely available soon.
Great video especially if there’s one knife I don’t have yet is a dedicated carving knife. Thanks a lot 👍🏼
Cool idea. Would be a handy knife to have!
Nice video and review. I really like that you show actually using this knife. I'm thinking about getting one and your info is a huge help.
Been looking at a tool like this for awhile but have wondered if it would hold up to any real use. Thanks for the video.
You should do a tutorial on sharpening this knife.
The only vid I have found for sharpening the OT 20 is for the Flexcut version.....NO ONE has a vid on sharpening this knife. Some reviewers have mentioned their plans to make such a video but none have done it....
That would be cool
Very good. My father likes woodwork and i may give one to him.
Great demo.
+Tom Olofsson thanks!
Awesome lookin' Old Timer Schrade carving knife . I sure would like to win and use this 240T from SCHRADE.
+Jack Herron good luck! Thanks for watching
The blades are an exact copy of the Flexcut carvin Jack knife. I have had the the Flexcut knife for years. The Flexcut knife steel is very good and they lock in place. Is Flexcut making the blades or is Schrade making a copy of the Flecut? Very dangerous not to have the blades lock in place.
+rotex having the blades lock would be a big plus.
Nice vid Mike, had to wait another 3 weeks for mine...😄
+Tengan65 it will be worth the wait
The FlexCut Carvin' Jack is way more expensive but all tools lock. With carving like this, the force is applied to keep the blades from folding back so shouldn't be a problem. Think I'll get this Shrade one
I really like this blade going to get one when they come out thanks for the review my friend
Yes sir. I think it's worth a lot more than what they are charging for it. Thanks for watching.
Nice pocket tool,
+Jeffery Sandmire I agree.
I got this knife as a Christmas present with a gift card. I've been trying tonget an edge on the knife since Tuesday. I'm ready tonthrow it in the garbage. I'm a beginner carver and it frustrating me. Any suggestions. Strop does not seem to help.
Is the spoon blade right or left handed ? Or do you have to look before you buy ?
I have been eyeing this type of tool for a while but the price kept me from buying. Now that I have a $25 Amazon gift card I can afford one of these. Question - I am left handed and they don't that option, how easy could a lefty use this tool? Thanks for sharing..
Its ok if you are into chip carving or whittling.
It gets dull kinda quick on hardwoods but pretty good at the price.
Great Review!
Thanks Mike!
Stay Safe & Have Fun!
+James White thank you sir.
Need THREE! One to Ship to a friend overseas, one for the Emergency Bag, and one for EDC. And as I told others, if you can't carve a Bow Drill set or make a Feather Stick or strike a Ferro Rod with that in your hand, you shouldn't be out in the Woods alone.

Does it come out of the box sharp, and how is it to sharpen. Looks to be à mUst have for the Carver or whittler.
Nice Thanks love schrade knives
forgot to turn on the microphone? that's priceless!! at least he had the guts not to edit it out.
looks like a great new addition to the Schrade line. makes me want to take up woodcarving.
+Tom Weingart these things happen. Schrade is doing a giveaway on their Facebook page. Go try and win one!
+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors No offense intended, just wanted to point out what a good sport you must be. Enjoyed your video and look forward to more. Already entered Schrade's contest. Thanks for the reply.
T.W.
Tom Weingart lol. No offense taken. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video.
Six tools in one little Package, I think this would be a Great Camp tool.
+Richard Corkum most definitely
Great video as always
Thanks!
Sweet! Thank you for the video. I really want 1 of these, even though I cannot use it being paralyzed from the shoulders down.. That doesn't mean it wouldn't go unused. Anyways, good job.
+Dereck Lockwood you are most welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great video, I just found a giveaway on FB and wanted to see what AL this knife could do. Very impressive. I've been wanting to get into whittling but don't have the right tools for it. Hopefully I can get one with the giveaway.
+WolfGirl 95 good luck with the giveaway. If you liked the review I hope you will consider subscribing.
Already have. Thanks for the tutorial :)
Didn’t much care for this knife at first. Then I took your advice from another video to change the grind on the straight blade. Finally getting a decent edge on it. Hoping that will solve the problem. Terribly dull out of the box. We will see. Got mine for $17.99 from Amazon, not $30.
these are so cool
+Stuart Mangold they are.
Great video 👍🏻
+cj kominek thank you sir!
How do you sharpen? Files? I can't see resharpening in the field.
Strop or use dowels cut to the profile with sandpaper would be my suggestions.
ceramic rods should do the trick
Nice tool buddy. Hope it not are difficult to sharp it.
Yeah, I don't think it will be too bad.
lmao. loved the end. looks like a useful tool for sure
I had to laugh. After swearing a little....
Nice video! Do you know if they intend on making a lefty version? I've been eyeing the flexcut carvin jack for a while, but it's pricey. They do make a lefty version though, so I may be stuck paying the higher price.
+joking78 that I can't say. It would be nice if they did.
Useful knife, thanks
+Jd Burke very useful
Thank you for a fair review
You said that Schrade was a family owned company but that seems not to be the case anymore since 2004, so they closed the factories after 100 years, now the name is owned by Taylor Brands and used for marketing purposes only.
But I gotta say this is an awesome piece of kit.
At the time of the video it was a family owned business. They have since been bought by Smith and Wesson.
Awesome piece of work.when will this be able to pick up ,I have to get one The price is unbelievable ..thanks for the chance.
+Melvin Golden I know people have ordered them direct from Schrade. I'm guessing they should be widely available soon.
Awesome
Would love to win this!!!
+jimmy joslin good luck!
HIGHLY COOL!!!
+Tony Lancon yes it is.
Cool knife ..
+Grampaw Terry and highly functional
30$ retail, it'll be cheaper! I heard what you said at the end but are you happy with edge retention?
+Liam Ireland so far I have no complaints with edge retention.
Just wondering where you bought your knife
+Darrack Mccrea it came direct from Schrade. Last I looked they were out of stock but that was a couple of days ago.
Say Heah, Where can I buy one of these. I can't find anyone selling this Powerhouse Carving Pocket Knife. I search Scrade 240T and nothing.,,.
+paulie 4x I know some folks have bought them direct from Schrade. They are very new so I'm sure availability will improve.
Oh, OK, Thanx You.,,.
Thanks for the review, changed my mind from the Flexcut to Schade. I like your videos very much but can you either so putting music while you are taking our turn down the volume as I really want to hear what you have to say, and the music is a little of putting. Just my 2 cents worth :)
Thanks, Eddie.

How to do sharpen the curve blades?

+Frank Webster thanks for watching!
I already have the Flexcut Carvin' Jack. So I won't be buying one of these. But that does look like a nice whittler.
My knife system is 1) The Carvin' Jack for detailed woodwork. 2) Cabala's Alpha Guide Series knife for all food processing. 3) Jessica-X for heavy wood processing. I'm considering whether to get a dedicated bushcraft knife. Maybe a Mora Garberg. (?)
I also have a Gransfors Bruk Scandinavian axe for if I know I'll be doing some heavy tree work. But I generally don't take it with me for a two or three day hike. I would definitely take it with me in a SHTF scenario.
+IamNemoN01 that makes perfect sense. A Cabelas Alpha Guide? Nice choice. You don't see that takes about to much. Do you like it? I'm not a fan of the X but it's very capable. I use a Terava Skrama in that role. The Garberg is pretty hard to beat. I removed the secondary bevel on mine and like it quite a bit more now. Check my channel for my review of the Terava Jakaripukko 110. That is another good option.
I never saw a Teraba Skrama until now. It reminds me of my old chopper - the 13HD Machete (KHHI Parang) made by Kukri House. Unfortunately it was stolen by a narcissistic relative, so I had to get something new, and the Jess-X fit the bill. I love the Gransfors Bruk, but that handle is so long, and I'm not a fan of hatchets. And it's harder to miss and injure yourself with a long blade than it is with an axe head . . .
As far as the Cabela's/Buck's Alpha, I like it. I mostly use it for processing food (meats, fish, and vegetables). You just can't beat a concave edge for sharpness. I also shave with a straight razor - and I can get the Alpha sharp enough to shave. I go down to a 30,000 grit Shapton hone on my straights, and I touch up the Alpha to the same sharpness.
I try to avoid the temptation to use the Alpha on wood. That's why I'm thinking of a dedicated bushcraft knife. I'll definitely check out your channel, and your knife recommendations. There are so many good options when it comes to bushcraft knives!
I ordered one today. On Amazon they are $17.39 right now. As of 7/23/20.
nice! love this.!
+Luke Thompson me too!
I would really like to add one of these to my kit. good information, but maybe turn the music down a little, it was blaring over your voice some
+Other Than Intended Purpose thanks. The music in the second half of the video got jacked up. Sorry about that
