Mark, you are doing wonderful reviews.
I got this knife 1½ years ago, best value for the money.
Actively using through the winter and summer condition, performing like charm.
Stubborn little guy, holding edge, well build, tuff.
Like you were saying great all-rounder.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you for your kind words. Joker knives really are high value. Thanks for commenting
I just pulled the trigger on a Lynx CM111-P Knife, Black Micarta Handle W/black leather Fire Starter Sheath . I"ve been wanting this knife for a couple of yrs now. It's almost a piece of art, for a knife guy and at a great price, compared to others W/same fit and Finish.
Almost too nice to use😅 Thanks for commenting
I just received my Joker Lynx in Bohler N695 and black/green micarta with red liners. Upon inspection I have to say, this thing is flawless. The tip is like a needle. The grinds are absolutely symmetrical to the eye and the thing is hair shaving sharp. The scales are matt finish and not slick; actually more of a satin finish and grippy. The jimping on the spine and butt are consistent and without burr. Blade engraving is fine, even, crisp and without blur. Zero gaps between the scales, liners and steel. I can't believe Joker is making this kind of quality for such a reasonable price. WOW.
ETA: The kydex sheath is very well made and the fire steel matches the knife micarta.
I agree. Best in class for this type of knife. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Thanks for a great video.
question, what would be a good general use Joker? i am not really a bushcrafter (yet), but it's good to have a proper knife.
It just oozes quality. Looks simple, until you look longer, many little details.
@@CyberBeep_kenshi The Lynx makes an excellent GP knife.
@@PileofBrass cheers. Looked upma shop innthe Netherlands, did mention a different steel, so i ll need to lookup some others. The price is surprisingly low imho. around 150 euro
Thank you, Mark. Great, detailed explanations as always.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting
Great demonstration thanks
Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting
Might be the best comprehensive knife review ever....thxs !
Thank you for your kind words
Great Knives and an even better value! I own the Joker Ember, love it.
Yes, I have the Ember as well and have reviewed it. Super knives. Thanks for commenting
Great review, demonstration...and I appreciate your excellent diction/enunciation!
Thanks for your kind words
Very extensive review, thanks for your time, and effort.
God bless!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting
These are such good knives. I love my bushcraft
I so agree. Thanks for commenting
I can just imagine how great it would be to happen across you while exploring the great outdoors. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this knife. It may not be a super custom something or other but looks to be a great knife to have on my belt.
I have a few customs and from a functional point of view they are sized to my hands. Beyond that, these knives compare very well. Thanks for commenting
Interesting timing with your review, I am shopping for a joker knife for a couple of days now I have narrowed it down to the Campero and the bushcrafter flat grind. Now you giving me one extra option with the lynx and saber grind . The closest resemblance to a Kephart design. Thank you for such a great review .
Two more Jokers I would like to review include the Bushcrafter and the Bushlord. Thanks for commenting
Pulled the trigger on this, waiting for it to arrive. Thanks
I am sure you will like it. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft , You just sold me this knife, ordered today in the identical specification as Yours, waiting for Friday when it should arrive. Greetings from Poland!
I'm Liking This 1 A lot Many Thanks For Your Input On This, Mark ! ATB T God Bless
Truly, one of my favourites. Thanks for commenting
I like how you appreciate something as simple as a piece of wood.
Love the knife as well, just oozes quality
I so agree. I have three more Joker knives I am testing now. Love them all. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft A quick question if i may, which one would you recommend for general purposes, so not necessarily bushcraft? The lynx seems that way to me, but no expert:)
i have small/medium - medium sized hands.
and thanks for the reviews! especially the no shouting and no overdramatic nonsense is refreshing
@@CyberBeep_kenshi Of the Joker knives I have tested so far I would say the Lynx best fits what you are looking for. Not strictly bushcraft or survival but can be used for both. Would be a great hunting knife or just a do-all knife around camp
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Thanks man, i had a feeling about this one. Saw the Nomad, but that's basically a sword in may hands 🤣
now to find out if its legal in the Netherlands hehe
Cheers!
Great overview and demonstrations of a really nice looking knife there Mark. As for Canadians and our units of measure, man oh man. We measure the heat in our house in Fahrenheit but when deciding what to wear outdoors it's Celsius. all of our tape measures are in feet and inches but we measure our golf shots in yards. Wondering about altitude, well that's meters of course. I could go on and on haha, we are truly amazing when it comes to how we measure stuff. Thank you Mark!
Inches, yards, and Fahrenheit........good good, come over to the dark side. .....😂 😉✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦🤙
So true Steve. Canadians, especially those my age who started out learning Imperial then switched to metric, have a split personality on this stuff. Thanks for commenting
I been looking for a good all around camp knife and after watching this video I think the lynx fits the bill .. I have larger size hands as well and find it hard to find a good sized handle . I really enjoy your content and appreciate the unbiased opinions of the products . Keep them coming sir ..
The Lynx is a good choice. Thanks for commenting
Good looking knife and review Mark , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks for commenting
Your retraction on the "needs thumb-scalloping on the handle" idea is sound for another reason too. If it HAD said features, (like a Benchmade Bushcrafter 162, say) it would have a far more difficult time in securely coupling with the Kydex sheath, IMO. I have the Lynx/Kydex combo in both orange and black and think Jose did a great job designing them!
Thanks for commenting
This is a beautiful smaller knife and what a deal. Chicago Knife Works is an online retailer with a number of great deals on Joker.
Joker has high value knives for sure. Thanks for commenting
My first time watching your channel. As a fan of quality bushcraft video instruction on TH-cam, I must say, I'm very impressed with this episode. Very informative, great cadence of speech, engaging, and most pleasant to watch. I am a new fan of your channel (now subscribed)! I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on Joker's Montanero knife. I just ordered one and am hoping I don't regret not getting the Lynx instead.
I don't have the Montenaro but would love to own one. It has a lot going for it. Ilike the full flat grind and blade profile. The handle has a simple old-school look to it. In many ways simple is better. I think you will love this knife, I am pretty sure I would. Hopefully, I will be able to get one to test. Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark yes I am jumping around a little bit but yes that is the manufacturer I was talking about I have a a couple of his knives and a really well done very nice more bushcrafting type that I got but it's worth a look
I gave them a brief look. Lots of designs. Will look more closely. Thanks
Nice
Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark,
I’m new to your channel. I recently bought the same exact knife but with the orange Micarta handle, I was impressed with its construction but I wasn’t sure about the steel! However after seeing this video I don’t have any more doubts. My knives I usually always use are Mora knives.
Joker make high quality knives at reasonable prices. Thanks for commenting
I own three and they're all excellent the other a knife that I wouldn't turn my nose up at is the BPS Adventure knife
I Like the BPS Adventurer as well but Joker knives are in a different class. Thanks for commenting
Highmark thanks for your replies I really didn't get a lot of information from you have you ever heard of a yag stand out of Turkey it's yatagan
I'd like to know more about them and get your opinion on their knives
@@jimwilton-sd5le I had not hear of "yatagan" style of knives before so I looked it up. Is it the YataganKnifeStore on Etsy you are talking about?
Definitely a good looking knife and sheath. I like the addition of the ferro rod. Mark, what are your thoughts on ceramic rods. I find it more convenient for sharpening my blades. I'm normally not using my knives in a way that damages the edges.✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦🤙👏👏👏
Actually, most of the time I use a ceramic rod and as strop to keep my knives sharp. I only use stones if I have let them get dull or chipped or rolled the edge. Thanks for commenting
Another excellent review, Mark. I have had the Lynx for the best part of a year now. A fine slicer and cutter, capable of a lot of tasks. Good for campers and probably for hunters, too. Yet it fails when it comes to woodcrafting which, imo is, along with the grind, due to the curved overall shape which distributes the energy applied to it in an odd and uncomfortable manner when whittling. For "pure" bushcraft, I would prefer the Ember or the Bushlore among the Joker knives.
I agree, that is part of the reason I refer to it as a companion knife. Good at many tasks but the best for carving. Thanks for commenting
Excellent video! thanks for sharing…. now I have to buy another knife…. jajajajaj
So many knives, so little money😅, Thanks for commenting
nICE kNIFE
Thanks for commenting my friend
nice review, just fyi the Böhler N695 is basically like a 440C , I think its great knife with a great value for the price
A high value steel for sure. Thanks for commenting
G'day Mark, no debate here mate, probably mentioned before I have the Nomad, cant fault it !!!! and given more disposable income I'd have a Lynx and a couple more Jokers too. They've really hit the sweet spot for design, performance, materials, fit and finish and price. Incidentally, I did swap comments with designer Jose Sabater, some time back, a really nice bloke and no doubt in my mind he knows his stuff ..... well just look at the products, ..... they speak for themselves. Cheers Duke.
A have another Joker knife review coming soon but I won't spoil the surprise for you. Thanks for commenting Duke
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Look forward to it Mark. Btw; forgot to mention, to my memory you've always put in both imperial and metric specs. I'm old enough to do both, lol, so maybe I missed it if you haven't from time to time, but generally an unfair critique I'd say.
Lynx or Nomad for camping, cooking, fire making, overlanding?
Thanks for commenting
I'm new to knives. I want to use it for survival/bushcraft purposes.
Which knife? A Joker Lynx or SR1 lite?
Of these three I prefer the Joker Lynx. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft thank you 🙏
Mark your volume went way down at about 8 min ❤
I have been having an issue of late with unaccounted for static. I think my mic system may be the issue. Happens sometimes but not others. Thanks for commenting
You’re just doing these knife reviews to mess with me since you know I just got two Grohmann knives, aren’t you. 😀
Your link doesn’t work, and the website is pretty annoying, because it doesn’t seem to have pricing on it. Unless I just happened to look at the 4 knives that are out of stock.
I have become a bit of a fan of sabre grinds lately too, and agree about the steels. So long as it’s decent, it’s not hard to keep it sharp, and won’t run you $200+
LOL... Yes, it is my mission to separate you from your money. I will check the links but I do find Joker's website a bit hard to navigate at the best of time. Thanks for commenting Jim
Really hard to beat joker. I don’t understand why anyone would buy some of those overpriced communist made knives when you can have hand made quality from a well known company.
I really love kydex over leather. Don’t get me wrong I think leather looks amazing, but kydex is zero maintenance. Not to mention kydex is ambidextrous. Which might not be a big deal for some, of course for use lefties it’s amazing.
Another great video
I like kydex for its functionality and leather for its traditional feel. In the end, I feel kydex is the better material. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft always enjoy your opinion. I’m the age where most of my Superiors were Vietnam vets. I remember seeing what the jungle did to their leather.
Lynx or Nomad for camping, cooking, fire making, overlanding?
Lynx for most tasks but Nomad 6.5 for fire making. Thanks for commenting
