Appreciate your thoughts. My knives are not for everyone it seams.😁 Perhaps it takes some time to understand the versatility of a compound grind and the benefits of the AEB-L steel. I have an entire playlist that compares my AEB-L to other steels as well as the versatility of a compound grind and why I prefer it. As for as the price, well that is a personal thing. Handmade appeals to some but not to others. Wish you well and hope you continue to use the knife and see if your opinion changes. You have a wonderful friend to gift you such a gift.

My friend, your like a breath of fresh air. Most bush crafters think you can survive better if you have a six hundred dollar knife over a twenty dollar knife. That’s what the bushcraft world teaches. The only thing I can get out of a scandi grind on a knife, it’s like a axe, made for splitting wood. A flat or saber cuts a whole lot better. I think you proved with out a shadow of doubt, that the chisel grind works better. Your a man who teaches what he lives. You take care and really enjoy your videos.

Ohhh and to address the wire edge, I am as surprised as you. As one man shop and shipping around 1,000 blades a year I suppose one slipped by. Sorry for the issue. These models are sent to a dealer so not sure what happens to them once they leave my shop. But yes I expect any knife to come razor sharp….although there are different razor sharpness. I prefer a course edge so my knives are shipped with a course edge. A courser edge last longer than a polished edge in my experience. But the wire edge shouldn’t have been there so I apologize.

Hey Bro, you are fortunate to be gifted a blade like that. I have ordered a WC Slim model. Can’t wait to get it. Stay well brother 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

A lot of wisdom and truth in this video. I would say the majority of guides and serious outdoorsmen I know actually prefer simple practical knives, often made of Carbon steel. Even in commercial operations - fish and cattle - where knives are in constant use the blades are of common steel and design. The first Elk I ever saw quartered was done entirely with a slip-joint pocket knife. To this day I don't think I've seen it done better regardless of the knife used.

Thanks for the review. To each his own I guess. I really like my WC knives and think they are worth dollar. I have a few Randalls that cost even more. 😊😊

You remind me of Mick from the Australian Outback! Other than that would love to see the overview of the knife with a little daylight! That’s all!

High carbon is the only way to go, especially if striking a ferrocium rod for fire making. $325 is crazy for a blade that's not perfect, the maker would definitely hear from me. Stay safe

Its always good when you find like minded people. I personally believe the knife companies are getting ridiculous. Personally i use budget knives. Mostly because i haven't found a expensive knife that does more to equal the price. They make promises but i believe they are made by fanboys and collectors that never use anything they just repeat marketing slang. Nice video

💩Hahahaha….that was hilarious🎯 You are a loved man to have been gifted such a magnificent blade💥💥

Who are you and what have you done to my pal?!! That is a mighty gift you have there, though speaking personally I have never gone much on multi-grinds. Carbon is king - absolutely though I own quite a number of stainless knives and find them excellent. I find knives, like so many other things benefit from time and use and I have had plenty where initial enthusiasm has waned and others where early indifference has blossomed into real enthusiasm. I guess if it fits in the hand and it keeps an edge and it doesn't make you wretch to look at it, any knife will do. Although if that were really the case explain to me why I have a drawer full of the beggars.

I don’t know if is it ok to review a great knife in darkness with no light management like this.

I got a fair amount of kinives, some of them pricey and well known brands, my favorite still Morakniv classic #2

To each their own. I love my WC Knives. zane

Prepare to get flamed for sure 🤣

What would your pick be for best budget knife

$325.00, you better not lose it.

Hey brother. 'Great to hear from you. How is Mimi doin' with the transition? Hope she is OK. I have a Svord Peasent knife I have used for years. I modified it and made a fixed blade out of it. It and my trap spring knife I made are my most carried, even though I have more expensive knives. I have an older Condor Hudson Bay I modified when I need a heavy knife. I am with you. Too many gimicky knives, especially in the bushcraft brotherhood, sisterhood, chooseyourownpronounhood!😵‍💫🤣If you still want me to make a knife for you I can share my address with you so that you do not have to put your info on here and you can write me about it. unless you have an e-mail you want me to communicate on. If not it is OK either way, brother. Have a blessed day, my friend.

Uhhhhhh, I think you had better put the beard back on. :)
