The dodo feathers were just for show. 😉

Cold steel trailmaster sanmai or Fallkniven modern Bowie? Boker do a good looking Bowie at an excellent price, I've been thinking of getting one.

@@RobEvansWoodsman you're a bad influence😁 Don't know if the budget will stretch that far this month, might need to put the kids on short rations😆 looking at the cold steel western or the svord van tempsky

I'm the wrong guy to ask as I'm not a fan of bark River due to the handles not fitting in with my needs, sorry I can't be more helpful.

In my opinion they got good quality control and a warranty that's hard to beat ❤

I have plenty of ferrorods I just like this one.

That's a difficult question, I'll say a large Bowie ,Trailmaster or Fallkniven but that's not 100%.

I'd prefer a Fallkniven, as an all rounder I love the A1 pro or X.

@@RobEvansWoodsman thanks Rob, shame the a2 isn’t a better chopper! Can’t stretch to the modern bowie

@@reddeath1176 I had mine second hand, £400 unused. First one I bought full price I sent back because the handle wasn't right, had a tick when I waved it around in my hand.

I know it would seem a shame, but couldn't you rough up the (micarta) handles a bit with a little sandpaper?

@@kaizen5023 absolutely i could, and yes it would be a shame lol usually they have matte version handles available on most runs.

Of the three I'd say sanmai trailmaster first then the Tor then the Bark River but they are all close.

@@RobEvansWoodsmanwhat about the Sanmai trail master do you prefer?

Balance and handle grip/comfort, I'm not a fan of Bark river handles, too slippery and thin in certain areas, tor handle is too slippery and has no flair at the butt.

I know, awful state of affairs.

Old video with no bloopers available, sorry! Dose anyone else do bloopers?

@@RobEvansWoodsman yeah, loads do.

Yes , I'm not a fan, too slim, too shiny and I don't like the bolt placement.

@@RobEvansWoodsman As much as i love bark river, i have to agree on the handles. I find them very comfortable to just hold, but in actual use I really dont like how low grip they are. I find liners, at a minimum, mandatory. Even then i find myself wishing for 3x the thickness of the liners. Have considered taking some low grit paper to it, but cant bring myself to do it on a $300+ knife. Basically, i like their small knives for lighter stuff, but i dont really consider their large knives because i find the grips too inappropriate for how i would use it. They do make some fine ass blades though.

Yes definitely , it would be the sensible option but I'm not that sensible!!

@@RobEvansWoodsman me neither. That’s why I have so many knives and guns. I like your vids.

Thanks Johnny.

If they were perfect I'd be more popular mate.

@@RobEvansWoodsman Choose quality over quantity every time, some of those bushmen with thousands of views are not that good, keep up the good work

Cheers mate

Brilliant, could be a Conquistador aswel.

They was fast , 5 seconds. I hope you are going to watch it!

@@RobEvansWoodsman don't worry I will mate (:

That's a big chunk of a knife! I thought you'd be more.suited to an axe for that kind of work!

I like to play with big knives sometimes.
