Awesome overview of the knife man. Really well covered all the aspects of it. Probably one of the best knife reviews around
Thanks mate! Glad you liked it.
I bought your 4micron polishing compound from DBK HEHEHE
@@LosRiji That's awesome! I Hope you liked it :)
@@stroppystuff641 good stuff
I am from Germany, and I own 2 UG-Tool knives wird Magnacut blades. And you are absalutely right. The knives are realy great!
I'm happy to hear that! Wich ones do you have? I
@@frostys_bushcraft I have got the Tiny Floe and the Bushcrafter (with the hollow handle, so you can put thinks in it, like matches for example)
@@rurealist5907 I just got the UniTi with Survival blade in Magnacut and it's a beast. It's a production prototype so there could be aome minor changes in production ones.
Beautiful dog. And he seems to be also nice in character.
He's really playfull and harmless, good with people, good with dogs.
That is a sharp little knife! "Laser" does make it sound cooler. I like the educational approach to your delivery. Makes for a good impression and you present knowledgeable.
Thanks Minnie :)
Hi my friend you have a very beautiful shot and nature is like a fairy tale
Thanks mate!
Loving it! Now to watch your other content ☕️
Thanks mate!
Thanks for you interesting review, I enjoyed it very much.
I got one of the first knifes of the TiNy Series and used it quite often.
As a little tipp:
Use the guard of the handle for batoning wood. It is of course made of solid titanium and will split bigger logs realy easy.
This method is also recommended by the knifemakers and works very well. This little knife, ist incredible sturdy. I simply love it!
Bye the way: The little screw on the sheath makes it possible to carry it is a neckknife.
Greetings from Germany!
Thank you very much for that review! Very professional executed!
Thanks!
I own two ug-tools knifes, a tiny and a compact survival. Great knifes, I use it for hunting, edc and bushcraft. I agree with everything you sayed. Those guys from ug-tools build great knifes and they heald me from my knive-virus😊
I'm glad we agree on their products. They have a lot of ideas and are working on some cool stuff so I doub't you're cured, you just became a fan :D
I need the cure to my knife buying craze!
@@ssunfish there's no cure for that
HaHa! The guys at UG Tools commented that they have a 15 cM bladed model and they'll have a 20 cM and machete in the future!
Looks amazing and you are correct...Never heard of it! Thanks for the review!
Thanks mate!
Very interesting blade!
Thanx for the review!
And cheers from a fellow knife enthusiast/bushcrafter and youtuber from the village of Fiskars, Finland!
The Lionsteel T6 with K490 steel has become my favorite outdoor knife, but I think this Ug Tini would make an excellent EDC. I’m putting it on my next knife to get list. I definitely need to try this one out myself!😊
Great video! Love the close up demonstrations.👍🏻👍🏻
I stopped using my folders and just throw this thing in to my pocket. No lint, no dirt, easy cleaning... and weigs even less than most folders. Thanks!
@@frostys_bushcraft I’ve been carrying edc fixed blades for about seven years now. Lionsteel B35 is my current favorite, but I also really want to order a TJ Schwarz Overlander. Seems like a great edc in Magnacut.
Johnathan Cupp: I have fixed Overland from TJ Schwartz and it's incredibly sharp and capable design. I also have LionSteel T6 in K490 and I agree it's superior! I put it with JRE industries Bushcrafter sheath model U.its wonderful!
@@ssunfish glad to hear you like them!😊
T6 is a big ol' knife... comparable with UniTi with Survival blade in size but probably twice the weight. One thing I live about Lionsteel is how neat and precise everything is. Really clean machining all over. Thanks!
That is a cool knife! Love to see how it does long term.
I'll make an update after a while to let you know how it performs in the long run. Thanks!
I'm sold bro. Now all I have to do. Is get a job, and buy one. Lol 😆 cheers 🍻 man. Great vid 👌
Hahaha or you can just sell a kidney 😂
Great review, thank you! Love the knife!!!
*Edit* Just saw the other comment about the ferro rod, thanks!
Thanks! Sorry for being slow to reapond.
Very good review, thanks
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Great stuff!!
Thanks mate! Was enjoying your stuff lately, you kinda upped the ante.
CPM Magnacut has been out only two years. It is the only alloy designed to reduce or eliminate formation of Chromium carbides which are more large and irregular shaped carbides as well as not as durable as most other carbides and nitrides. Before no one tried or wanted to know how to reduce formation of Chromium carbides.
Larrin defenitely did an amazing job with it and so far I'm loving the stuff.
Oh HELL YEAH
Very good Video.
I received my first knife from them some days ago and already bought a second one.
Regards from Switzerland
So... I guess you like it then? :)
@@frostys_bushcraft absolutely. But I love Extrema Ratio too 😃🤪
With the UltiLink you can remove the sheath and rotate it full circle, so go from vertical orientation on your belt to horizontal carry and every other degree of setting.
True and it's a great system but with 30 degree increments not really the best to fine tune orientation without using tools. That being said, I love using it as it's quick and holds firm.
I've seen Paracord added to the UltiLink for easier pulling.
Stay frosty!
You too! :)
I would enjoy having both UG tolls knives that you made videos about!
* tools not tolls
@@ssunfish love using both, the TiNy is my EDC and UniTi became my go-to for outdoors
One guy says he has three since he started using them and doesn't want any more knives, but his UG Tools knives.
Probably the best EDC since it's lighter than folders and a fixed blade!
@@ssunfish I'm close to getting rid of most of my knives and leaving just the UG-Tools ones, the Skrama and maybe one or two other knives. TiNy is so good I don't even bother with folder anymore.
Awesome review 👌 Just ordered a knife from them.
Thanks! What did you get?
I ordered the Stealth with Compact Survival blade in MagnaCut. Cannot wait until it arrives!
@@lordq8775 that one's really cool! Did you get a chance to handly any of their knives before ordering?
Unfortunately not, it was a blind order. But it should be fine I guess! Looks and sounds really cool!
Hi, interesting review! Just for your information - surprisingly you can use the handle as a wedge for batoning. It is made for this type of stress and you can hammer on the handle with the baton.
I have a video of that somewhere showung hust that, really cool stuff. I've got a bunch of their knives in the meantime, all top notch.
Yeah the fun thing with titanium is that the heat capacity and heat conductivity is very low and not like steel. So you wont get cold hands
approved
I keep a Spyderco Squeak with titanium scales in my truck as a quick package opener and utility knife. At -20F and below, it's unbearable without gloves. G10 and micarta actually work better in extreme cold. That said, I love titanium scales in 3 seasons barehanded and 1 with gloves.
@@adx442 Not directly comparable
UG tools prints hollow! titanium handles. So not only has titanium itself low heat conductivity and capacity but what has even much less? Air. The handles volume is mostly air. Average wall thickness is only 1mm...and its still so strong that you can baton the handle through wood.
with your spyderco you only got titanium scales around a stainless steel core which you will even directly touch
I know from comparing that a mircata scale knife is much less comfortable in very cold weather. The only thing that comes close to a UG tools is my mora bushcraft but that has a rubber handles and is not fulltang. So less steel in the tang just like the UG tools has not much steel in the tang
@martinerhard8447 The Squeak sprint was full Ti scales (it's a slip joint, no liners). Interesting point about the new molding/welding tech, though. My sample size is just 1, but I do prefer Micarta or G10 with bare hands when it's very cold.
@@adx442 I am looking at a pic right now and on the backside (so where your hand touches it while you hold it) there seems to be stainless steel of slightly different color between two thick titanium scales. The clip and screws are also ss i suppose?
One can see how little material is in these titanium handles if you compare the weights.
The UG tools TiNy with its bigger blade is 80 grams while the squeak sprint is barely lighter at 70 grams
What I want to so is...there is currently nothing else comparable on the market. You basically have to get one or trust reviews.
awesome, that is like a mini axe with the blade cutting trough bone .
A really really light axe 😂
That's a cool little knife, looks strong aswell! The price is a little bit of a drawback!
Yeah, it's a premium product with a premium price tag. There's lots of good budget options out there, even newer overpriced Moras are still a good option.
Have you looked at the Extrak from Hogue? It’s “only” 63-64 HRC, but 0.9 oz lighter and full tang.
I've seen ot but... I dunno, looks like those extra thin handle scales were an afterthought. Doubt it's comfortable to use.
compliments, best review-video on the UG TiNy so far. I´d love to know what firesteel you used, I am looking for a new one that is not too short...
Thanks! This is the firesteel I'm using: www.mokkimies.com/kootamo-kipinarauta-8-xxl-ferro-rod
I looked at their knives, interesting designs; but price is high (Eu vs American dollars), which I am sure that both MagnaCut steel and titanium handles is why.
And for me, having a full tang is very important consideration when choosing any fixed blade knife.
With all that being said, any knife that can withstand being batoned through a pelvic bone is very impressive Vedran!
Well, premium product with a premium price tag.
I'm actually not that big on full tangs... had a lot knives without it from Mora, Eka, Cold Steel, Benchmade etc. and never had a problem. Properly designed tail tang, like on Skrama or Ka-Bar's LHB will stand up to a lot of abuse.
This is something else with a really short tang embeded in pute titanium so we'll see how it standa out long term.
A full tang is not needed the metal at the back of the handle is not doing anything for strength. A rat tail tang that has good radius at the blade and around 2/3 thickness at the blade down to 1/3 at the end of the end of the handle is probably as strong enough such that the tip would break before the handle would.
@@JohnFrumFromAmerica weakest part on any properly designed knife is the ricasso area.
@@frostys_bushcraft that's the case for batoning but if you are prying with your knife the tip is the weakest part.
@@JohnFrumFromAmerica true but... "right tool for the right job". A knife is a cutting tool.
I could be wrong but when you were showing the lanyard holes in the butt of the handle,12:46 it seemed to show a tiny split or crack. I reviewed it and can't tell 100%. Perhaps you could take a look. Thanks, I love the channel, always informative, professional and relevant.
You almost gave me a heartattack. Just checked, everything's fine :) Thanks!
Great video frosty can you do a video on good budget chest rigs ps like your long videos
Thanks! What chest rigs do you have in mind? Cheapest one I used is Helikon's Numbat.
@Frosty's Bushcraft I was looking at a couple from Amazon was looking at a couple of old military surplus and 1 of condor but what ever your recommend my friend
I'm afraid I can't really say anything clever... I only ever used HelikonTex Numbat, BastionGear Frosty (the one I carry is my design) and tried HPG at one point.
@@frostys_bushcraft oh ok thank you
I'm sure at a hardness of 65hrc it holds an edge quit well. But i am also sure it is a devils dog to re-sharpen, at least on water stones...
Oh, it really needs diamond sharpeners. They make an easy job of sharpening super steels like this one. Regular whetstones or even ceramic ones are just... a pita.
nice knife
Agreed!
Hey Frosty, just bought "your" bag and it is awesome :)
Can you please tell me where you got these small plastic clips to fix the sheath?
Hey mate! Glad you like it :) Aliexpress is your best friend for cheap mounts of all kinds.
Speed-Clip. Finally. It is a fu..ing Speed-Clip. 😂
@@SeacryBlastsAloT I have a bunch of different ones so don't remember the names but some are actually really good!
Damn this is knice
love the compound of the form and function of the materials the price is a bit high.
Do you know if this company ships to USA? I couldn't tell by looking at there website.thanks!
Hey! Yeah, they ship but you have to email them directly for now. Last I heard they're working on an US distributor but not sure if it's running yet.
@@frostys_bushcraft ok ill shoot them an email thanks!also thanks for making a video on this knife I wouldn't know about it otherwise.
Nice ad.
☝🏼No way bruh… I can buy 15 moras with that money.
Hello Frosty, for a knife that doesn't even have a "Full Tang" blade, the price is excessive in my opinion. There are better ones on the market for less money. Batons with a steel that is only a few centimeters worked into a plastic handle can not last long. Otherwise a nice video from you. Greetings from Germany, Selfmade. 👍
It's not a plastic handle, it's pure titanium. Thanks for watching my friend!
The handle is made from titanium with selective laser melting. The handle itself is tough enough to use as a wedge to split wood. It's basically tougher than any G10/fulltang handle out there. What knife do you suggest has better steel & ht for the price?
show me a knife of this size that is lighter, stronger, and built with this premium material! let's go ! great, no idea but the main thing is crap writing
Chill guys... Slefmade is a great guy, not a keyboard warrior. He probably just didn't get the "titanium" part.
@@frostys_bushcraft You're right. I didn't get the point about the titanium. Unfortunately, my English is too bad. It's been 43 years since school. I'm sorry that some felt offended here.
Sorry mate... Not interested in reviews... When are you going to get back to camping and bushcraft?
I'll do it occasionally, actually planning one next week. But on regular basis.... when my kids grow a bit, probably in a year or two.
Are you about camping by proxy? I never thought of that, but if you're too busy making money to go camping you'll sooner or later figure out something
@@ssunfish I was all about camping but I'm kinda starting to like reviewing things so I'll probably just do what I feel like doing at the moment and have time for.
Well, Frosty, I subscribed so I'll be there to see what comes! Cheers!
