@@daanwessels4781 Your criticisms are quite valid, in my book. if you are interested in the specs for The Huntsman I'm sure they'll be available at the Very Good Knife Company website. My knife experience now includes nicking my thumb on the plunge grind of a new knife, which had a burr on it capable of cutting through my tough skin. In hindsight I can see how that happened and in future I might look a brand new knife over for burrs around the ricasso or spine etc before handling it by the blade. Thanks for stopping by!
@@adcaptandumvulgus4252 Thanks, I love it all! That Condor is a very interesting machete design. I would like to try one. It is nearly twice as long as this here Huntsman knife, which is probably twice as thick as the machete, so they're kind of in different leagues. Similar weight-wise I would suppose and plenty of crossover in application. Sure is one unique machete!
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors that is a well-put observation. Hands one cannot change much, but methods and technique can be learned. This is why I am determined to give The Huntsman thorough use before I start tinkering with anything! I currently have another video either uploading or hung up in the ether. I did some more study as per my intent, looking at The Huntsman alongside a Reiff F6, a William Collins Field Boss and the Brisa Bigmuk. Your design easily competes with all these knives on all fronts. Sure, each of them shines in its own light. I'm figuring out what works best for me for what and as assuredly as there will always be some overlap, there will always be stark contrast. Although I have a near 10" hand span I generally like smaller knives, so for me The Huntsman is a big heavy piece of kit. For another guy it's perhaps more of a middleweight. For a broadsword guy it's a whippy little thing! I did still notice the bird's beak but I found myself accustomizing and certainly taking advantage of the secure purchase it grants. I just thought of a question for you - is the tang solid all the way through? I mean besides the pinholes is there any stock removed?
@@dongkhamet1351 We opted to remove some stock yes, I wanted to reduce weight on the handle which would help the give it a slight bit more blade weight to help with the chopping ability
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors I noticed that the knife is very sweetly balanced right on the finger guard. Is it fully skeletonized, or just drilled somewhat?

The sticking plaster on his finger tells me more about his knife experience than his informationless opinions.

Loved hearing your perspective on the knives! 👊🏼
If you like that, you should check out condor big leaf machete.

Interesting comparison. It also goes to show that no knife or design will work for everybody. Everybody has different hands methods and technique.

And I thought it was going to be about the SAK huntsman which is a very good knife.
@@inregionecaecorum not half as good as this, I'd wager ;D
Forsale?
