Great review and demonstrations Mark although I'm convinced you could do your demonstrations with a slightly edged rock haha. Your skill with the bushcraft tasks is a compliment to any knife. Thanks for sharing Mark!

I’ve watched a few of your reviews now & I’m impressed. So detailed & thorough. Am now subscribed…

I think this is a very cool take on a historical knife design, thanks for sharing. Take care and Merry Christmas. Cheers!

Well Performing Blade ! Priced Well Too ! Thanks For Your Demo & Thoughts Mark ! Merry Christmas ! ATB T God Bless

Great review.. informative.. WTG are premium quality..excellent fit & finish..

Taiwanese manufacturing is outstanding. I liken them to what American manufacturing looked like from post WWII up through the 80's or so. Meaning that, they're well engineered with quality components and a relatively high level of quality control/attention to detail. While remaining affordable. Estwing Hammers manufacturer in Taiwan as well as the U.S. I'm sorry to say the Taiwanese manufacturing is head and shoulders consistently significantly better assembled/finished. I buy American when I'm able, but of the few working class tool manufacturers left, they're often mediocre at best & nearly always blemished with blatent apprentice marks. ... Anywho, great video ❤

G'day Mark, must say @ first look, wow, right up my alley. However, being full flat @ 7-8 inches, it'd be something I'd only take on a low risk, (of unplanned camping), day hike, (I currently use the CS Survivalist @ 8 in. for this role). Plunging deeper into a forest, at a minimum, I start @ 9 in. on the BK-9 or Skrama 240 and go up from there. And, no its not just about the extra inch, its the overall design characteristics, weight, balance, grind, ergos etc. The key capabilities being shelter and fire wood processing, (batoning and de-limbing in particular, though yes chopping too, should my saw be lost or fail). Also, blazing a trail may well be necessary, a longer Parang or other machete is even better again for that. Incidentally; that's one reason why I dont ever take a hatchet or hawk on a hike ........ have you ever tried blazing a trail with one. So for sure this design does make for a great all rounder, (and in fairness a much much better survival tool than many knives), but at the end of the day, not compelling enough for my MO. Which is actually lucky, since I'm not stay'n up all night for a 2 min window of opportunity ; ) Cheers Duke.

Good review Mark thanks for sharing YAH bless !

Thanks Mark. I like it, don't think I would dig or pry with it.

Another use for the tip I think is to drive it in a bit on a smaller horizontal piece on a hard surface and push the handle downward for a more precise cut.

Hi Marc, thank you for showing. For this price i get two Skrama 240. And i think Skrama is better. Sven

I have a seax made in a shorter blade length. It works well in the kitchen for slicing and dicing. The heavy spine drives the edge deep for chopping and slicing.

Thanks for the honest review, Mark! I'm not really familiar with the seax style knife. From your overall description, it sounds like the style is a compromise in the best sense of the word - it may not be the best at any of the tasks you might put it to, but it will do just about anything you ask of it. That's not a bad heritage to have!

I guess when he advertises the knives are available and you’re not fast enough to get one, that’s just tuff luck………😂 That knife is a beast. I like the style of the blade. I checked out the site, and the price for this knife isn’t bad at all. 🇨🇦🇺🇸✌️Merry Christmas, peace and blessings to you and your family…..

Very interesting knife. I am comparing your review to my Terava Skrama experiences and do not believe this would be a step up. Similarly to you I have large mitts and do not prefer finger choills though not sure if these details are related. The fuller or blood groove on the blade seems to be more nuisance than help to me. My understanding of an axe head being convexed is to encourage splitting and resist sticking. This may be what the Drengr is trying to accomplish with its convex micro bevel but I'm not sure there is enough there to make a difference.The rubber grip handle on the Skrama was the big selling feature to me plus the fact that in cold weather it is warmer with no steel exposed to the skin. The look of the Drengr appeals to me though I'm not sure why. I must have some long lost Nordic ancestors.

A good review and a good looking knife. Or not good looking, but it will do the job, and in the end that is the importen thing.

Definitely a different blade geometry than the Condor Sigurn. Also, at least it is made in what I would consider a, "ally" country and not the PRC.

The knives are good, but the marketing gimmick to create demand is next level!

I have to wonder if it is worth the trouble trying to buy a Work Tuff Gear knife. When you can buy a Terävä Skrama 240 or 200 that is available with more choices in sheaths, and at a lower cost. The difference in blade steel design to me is better with the Terava.🤔👍
