Thays a nice collection! The Evans would be my pick too i reckon, the blade shape and the pommel would be pretty handy. Cool that you showed the Wines model. Maybe 7 or 8 years ago i made a sabre ground version of that one, based of a pic i saw in a magazine. Such a cool shape. Still have it buried in the shed somewhere. Hope you and your family's doin good man, have a good Christmas 👍👍🪓
I like the Field and Steel one in particular, but that is probably me being very used to puukko style knives. Very beautiful all of them. Have a fantastic Christmas Trev and a prosperous new year.
Great review Trev! Don't think you could go wrong with any of them. I hope you have given Santa a few ideas for yourself this Christmas. Have a great one!
I wish I could buy one of these knives, been after a Rob Evan’s knife for some time now but ordering anything from the UK now is just out of the question sadly.
Hi, to be honest, it has maintained a very good edge and I have only had to strop it to bring it back. Given the option I would take the RWL over O1. But O1 is always going to be a good standard blade steel, needs more maintenance but still good.
@@bundufundi Thanks for your reply. I have several Bushcraft knives 🔪 in O1 & 3V but, non in RWL . So that was why I asked. You have some GREAT looking knives !!!! If you don't mind me asking where are you located ??? I'm in the U.S.
Merry Christmas Trev. Was thinking of you the other day. We are lucky with the amount of tools available to us today. I used to buy the bushcraft magazine and Ben was advertising the knives in that, Ben and Lois made for a good team. I have a suspicion you have more knives than this😎😎. The Garcia Echo was quite interesting, those handles look weird but are actually quite comfortable. Having owned a Pukko I know that that style is pretty practical to use. All the best mate, cheers Chris
Thanks Chris! I have met Ben and Lois at a show and they were both very nice people. How is the birding going up there, any winter migrants yet? Hope you have a great Christmas!
@@bundufundi my particular obsession right now is to find and see waxwings. I hear they are about, never seen one. Start of holidays today so I'll get out and about👍😃
What happened to Rob Evans TH-cam channel? I can't find it, can anybody leave a link to his TH-cam channel please? Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you!
As a knife maker of almost 40 years who hand forges knife blades, when I see these knives obviously made by stock removal from thick stock and the very narrow scandi bevels, I can only but wonder what kind of cutting edges these knives have.? A forged carbon differentially hardened and tempered steel blade with a distal tapered tang and a blade and an apple seed cutting edge would be infinitely superior to any of the blades shown in this video. To me as a maker, a knife is a tool that must hold an edge but not chip, must be tough not bend or break, it must have a comfortable non slip handle, have some sort of hand guard to prevent the hand from slipping onto the blade during use. Lastly it must be “fast” in the hand.
I’m in Denmark and buying British products as before, and in abundance. They made their decision, their products are as good as ever and worth paying for.

That type of design (I think is French Trade knife) is such a good one and with the rosewood and brass really does look good.
The Field and steel is very nice for the reasons you mentioned. Maybe for a bday gift to myself next year. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, it is actually a very good carver I have subsequently discovered. It has a good profile for finer work.

Hey Tim, hope you have a fantastic Christmas too. All the best for 2024!

Thanks Brett, here’s hoping! 😁

I know the feeling, ordering stuff the other way!
Great looking 👀 knives 🔪 . Is the RWL hard to sharpen & do you like it more than O1 ?? All the best. Thank you 👍🏻

@@northernembersoutdoors1045 exactly what we are searching for at the moment. They are about in our locality but we keep missing them! Good luck!
@@bundufundi it's a race 😅
Have all except the GW! I had one from LT Wright but sold it.
Fantastic Knifes! Best regards from Oldenburg/Germany! I subscribed your Channel. I like whatyou do! Joerg
Thank you!

I put a link in the description of the video, just checked and it is the current one.
Thank you very much, Got it!!@@bundufundi

Unfortunately you have left the EU therefore UK products became too expensive. What a shame.
I’m in Denmark and buying British products as before, and in abundance. They made their decision, their products are as good as ever and worth paying for.
I was on the Rob Evans website and the knifes range from 200-280£. That is not expensive!
@@panganarangathe Price for his knives is totally okay. But not the customs ;)
@@Robert.Northwoods Ah, true , didnˋt think about that. And as the german Gov hates the brexit, guess they make me pay extra 😂
I live in Sweden, most of the Europeans including folks in the UK don’t like the Brexit - that has nothing with the German Government to do.
