For years it was illegal to use by pros for it was considered too sharp. But now its available to all. Originally crafted by a 12 year old holland genius who got tired of cutting wood with wood. He was offered a trillion dollars but for you its 19.99.what a steel!
Yep, sounded more like a knife promotion than a review. Hey, maybe it was! What do you think? Having studied and practiced outdoor survival skills for 40+ years, a lite version of which is called "bushcraft" today, I prefer a bit larger knife. I carried a 3" to 4" blade neck knife for a number of years, and it did 80% of my camp needs. However, it could not replace a larger knife in heavier, "larger" tasks. I have also been a knife dealer a few times in my career, and my favorite overall brand is Condor. If I had to select a one tool option for outdoors use, especially for a serious and long backcountry trek, it would be a 14" machete of either a spearpoint or Latin blade config. Many South American machetes, such as Tromontina, are excellent and inexpensive, but they are usually too light. Condor machetes are typically within the thickness range I require: 0.090" to 0.200". I carried a Condor Bolo machete in place of an ax, and it is still on my pack. It will do about 85% what a cruiser or smaller ax will, and any task it falls short of would require a felling ax. My favorite ax is the Condor Woodworker ax, but I shaved down the handle a bit to a less round profile. Tomahawks make an excellent light camp ax, too. My typical belt knives have 5.5" to 7" blades with a sturdy leather sheath I either buy or make myself. I rarely use the sheath these come with. Ontario Knife Company (OKC) is my favorite for fixed blade belt knives, as are Condor, Ka-bar, Kershaw and Schrade... with the occasional Case, Blackjack, and Buck thrown in. Nepalese khukuri are also in my often carried & used list. United Cutlery used to be known for lower quality, but their Honshu Bosin line is pretty heavy duty. Their Bosin Kukri is a damn big blade for a belt knife with a 13" traditionally forward swept blade. I always prefer high carbon to stainless steel blades in most cases, and 1095HC, 1095 Cro-Van, D2, and even 440C "stainless" make up most of my personal blades. The 440C recipe contains more carbon than 1095, but the other ingredients (e.g. chromium) qualify it as "stainless". High end Spanish knife makers used to prefer 440C almost exclusively, and I received their products bathed in oil. Hint: 440C will rust... itcwill also throw a spark when struck with a piece of flint or similar rock, so you can make fire with it. Silky saws also have this feature as demonstrated by Lars over at the UToob Survival Russia channel. Speaking of Silky brand Japanese saws, when I discovered these, it ended the need for an ax. Between various lengths of Silky saws (8" in my shoulder bag and 12" to 14" in my backpack) and a 14" (+/- a bit) machete, khukuri, or parang, I would have no problem walking into the forest, jungle, desert and surviving just fine. In a long term survival scenario, I would cover items too difficult or too time consuming to recreate in the bush, basic living needs, and then I would gob"tool heavy" as Dave Canterbury put it in one of his videos. I was very pleased to see that. I still have a brace and bit driver with a set of wood augers that were my father's. These are way too heavy, bulky and precious to drag along on short hikes or moderate treks, but for an INCH bag, they are definitely on the list. So is a drag sled, since I am too old and smart to try to carry everything I would need in a one way nomadic exit.
Mt fascination with knives began 60 years ago and I still enjoy knives! I agree with most of what you say, but have a couple of extra comments. Firstly, concerning bolo, machetes etc. These do make a lot of sense in a certain type of environment like jungle or thick undergrowth conditions. The weight can be accommodated by cutting back on heavy cold-weather gear not really needed there! Saws: yeah, Silky saws have revolutionised camp work and wood processing! For the vast majority of tasks the saw has superceded the axe as a primary tool. I would select the appropriate length Silky for the situation I intend tackling, when doing my expedition planning. Generally I'd choose between a Gomboy, or a Bigboy. I do not subscribe to the whole "one tool option" thing. By omitting the axe's weight one can compensate with a selection of knives more suitable for the myriad tasks when out in the woods/forest. By having more blades one preserves those edges firstly by using them for appropriate tasks only, and they each do less work, thus reducing wear and the need to field sharpen. Knives: At the moment my selection would be: Large knife; Here I'd take my current Cold Steel Trail Master (San Mai III version). This would be for the heavy work. It would generally be carried attached to my pack. Belt knife: Here I'd have the Victorinox Venture Pro system, and wear it on my belt most of the time. It is very versatile, and has a flat ground blade that is very hard (59 Rockwell) and ground to a fine edge (17 degrees). This means it is a really good woodworking blade. The system has numerous innovations giving the user many options few other knife system offer. The steel used is the familiar Victorinox steel - Sandvic 14C 28N they have been using so successfully for many decades. Pocket knife: I'd always have a multitool knife - Victorinox Hercules. This has many tools that are useful in the field, including a small pliers. If (for some strange reason) I felt a full size pliers IS necessary, then I might consider a Leatherman like tool or a Victorinox Swisstool. Lastly, I'd always toss a Victorinox paring knife (or two) into my cooking kit! They are super light (21 grams) so no extra burden at all and a joy to use (and abuse) and very easily sharpened.
This video is very misleading. First knife they show under "Bushcraft Knives" has a hollow grind and horrible geometry. Those that know anything about blades will likeely disregards this BS
Man you forget brands from Spain like Joker Knives, Nieto, Muela, Cudeman. Brands from Italy like Extrema Ratio. Helle from Noth Europe for example and Usa Knives like Green River, White River, Red River, Buck, Lt Wright, Spyderco etc..
Ah, those nice soft northern hemisphere timbers!!! Australian hardwoods aren’t anywhere as easy to carve and cut with a small knife. Even Axes and block busters bounce off hard eucalyptus woods. Doesn’t stop me collecting all the good knives I can afford though!
Very first knife you either show lack of knowledge or experience. A Damascus blade must have 2 types of steel. You said it has some myth of single metal Damascus blade.
This video sounds like a promotional infomercial on a television channel late at night that no one watches. Go into the steel make up or something. The heat treatment etc. Edge retention, do some actual tests and video and explain what it is that you are doing. "Hey Bob! Johnny down the street says this knife is the absolute best!, Really!? I don't know who Johnny is but I'll take his word for it. Yeah Bob, trust me bruh" For reference besides heat treatment etc - Best budget steel - 14C28N Mid range steel - Elmax Balls to the wall, money no object steel - MagnaCut Next steel coming out to keep an eye on - NioMax Source: Bushcraft channels like DBK, and the metallurgist experts who actually developed MagnaCut; knifesteelnerds

Lmao. Vid says that the Tops Scandi Trekker with the 3 5/8” can be usd as a self-defense weapon against predators. If that’s all you have you are going to die.
I think the title should be: Top camping knives for children. And you should be ashamed of yourself for doing disguised advertising under the pretext that these are the top Buschraft knives. You have no idea what such a top looks like, so do something useful and delete this video because it is possible that some children will believe these cheap stories you tell.

What knife is at the beginning of the video?
Not a review of knives, just advertising.
I haven’t got a single dollar for any product that I included in this video. So not true!
the benchmade bushcrafter is made from s30v blade steel not 5860.

If it's not a true scandi grind is not a bushcraft knife the "craft" part of the name gives it away
