Only you could make an video an hour long about knives. These are so entertaining. Love seeing the collection always.

After experiencing many hunting knives from all over the world, I understand that the Fox River is the most useful and favorite knife for my individual deer dressing and the Rampless Gunny is the most attractive and favorite knife for my collection. Thanks.

Bark River should give you a paid trip to tour their factory! Very nice collection!

I look forward to watching your 2021 knife collection :) Thank You For Sharing

This collection is something I dream about!!!! Your collection is simply amazing!!!

This was a very informative and therapeutic experience. Thank you.

Very watchable and enjoyable.

Your videos on knives and how you use different geometries for each knife is excellent. It has given me many ideas and I've bought knives based on some of your demonstrations. Thanks and keep up the great videos sir.

Love you knife videos! Thanks for sharing your fixed blade collection.

Wonderful Video Wako-san. I would be interested in seeing you do a video of your current knife collection.

MY FRIEDS BELIEVE I HAVE MANY KNIFES..BUT.....YOU ARE THE FIRST...I LIKE VERY MUCH YOUR COLLECTION..YOU HAVE MANY AND VERY GOOD KNIFES..!!!!!!!!!!!

greatest knife reviewer on youtube...PERIOD

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing!

Man this is a fantastic knife collection. I know that you have even more knives.

Great collection, you are very knowledgeable and passionate about knives

Love how the Svord cuts, very nice knife and light.

Yes. Now it's a good timing to get another Gunny in A2. Gunny in 3V is announced to be produced in the near future and I can choose from a variety of wood handles now. Thanks.

I remember I traded it out for smome western knife. Toyokuni Masano is made out of super blue paper steel and holds its edge very well. I felt its belly curve to the point was too acute for my speedy deer dressing and decided to leave it. Thanks.

You are a legend, love your videos, you have so many knives, I'm so very jealous of your collection

I have been waiting for this video for a long time...watched it in parts...will have to watch again. Thank you for posting this!

thanks for all that info. im contemplating on getting one for neck carry

It is Black Jack Model 125 in wood handle. DLT Trading has a variety of wood handles of it. Thanks.

Awesome. Thats the exact knife I was wondering about. Thanks for your input.

Great video--you give some very valuable insight as always.

I'm having so many knives eventually. But the trigger for each knife was my curiousity how it would perform in the field. And finally I figured out what were great knives. But all of my knives don't need to be great. They just need to be lovely. Thanks.

Beautiful collection.

I put a small amount of camellia knife care oil on the blades and keep them in their sheaths. Thanks.

Looks like you have five Bark River knives in your "great" category, if you consider the Black Jack M125. I always love to see your collection updates. Thank you for sharing your knife discoveries and knowledge with us.

Wow! That's quite the collection. Thanks for all of your videos. :)

This was the video I was waiting for, thanks!

knife,knife,knife it never stops knifes coming out of the bag thanx for the vid.!!

Wow that's impressive. Thanks for showing! Mike

I've been sobbing for hours.

I always carry two fixed blades and one folder on my hunting belt. In many cases I need to test some other knives and I carry them in my rucksack. Thanks.

Great video As usual. Thanks for sharing. That's one he'll of a collection.

Very nice collection and quite informative thank you.

It is BladeTech Professional Hunter Magnum knife in S30V. I reprofiled it to full height zero grind convex edge by hand. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing these. I enjoyed it.

I envy your knife collection. :) i enjoy watching your videos too!

Great Review! Thanks!

Yes, they are. Their bevel grind is superb. Their A2 steel is very well balanced between toughness and hardness. Their handle variation is pretty much admirable. Their fit and finish are excellent. Totally they are excellent knives in my opinion. They won't disappoint us if we select our purposeful ones. Thanks.

Excellent, excellent, excellent review. Thank you!

That was an awesome collection! That bag looks like it's a lot heavier than 20 lbs!

Yes. In my opinion the rampless Gunny in A2 is the best knife for a hunting knife beginner. Its convex geometry is pretty shallow and can be stropped up scary sharp very easily. I think V edge sharpening is kind of difficult for everyone. In contrast stropping a convex edge is extremely easy. It will need some experiences for a beginner to hold the Fox River properly. In contrast the rampless Gunny is very easy to hold for everyone and its edge line is very good for the field deer dressing.

You make great videos. Thank you for that. Really enjoing it.

Yes. But the field test will be in October. I hope it will have the same geometry as A2 version. Thanks.

Awesome collection Wako

Awesome collection...

once again great video thanks for posting!!!

I have some knives sent in to BRKT. And I need to modify some handles which I felt not very good through this season. So the 2013 collection will be available some months ahead. Thanks.

I like Buck Alpha Hunter for it. It is a strong push cutter, not a slicer at all in my opinion. Deer's scalp is very tightly attached to the skull. So it needs a strong push cutter.

It is Karesuando Elk at Heinnie Hayness in the UK, or Karesuando Moose on its own website. Thanks.

i agree; i found AUS8 better edge holder than 8Cr13Mov. I emailed SOG to see if they can start manufacture the field pup series in AUS8 (similar to the Seal Pup elite)....

Rockstead is a highly industrialized company which makes an extremely dureble hard steel knife. I like sharpening and stropping. So I don't need to pay such incredible money for a knife. Thanks.

great colection and great video

Lighter is better for sure for neck carry. Please check out Svord EDC Hiker at Heinnie Hayness in the UK. It looks very sweet! Their shipping is relatively low.

From KnivesShipFree. It's a KSF Full Cover Sheath. Thanks.

Thanks very much!!!

I am not a hunter, but a knife fan. Watch your video backlog, I want to start putting my knives to use and start hunting.

I misspoke it. You are correct. Thanks.

the small black knife at around 2:20 is the Falkniven WM1..i have that knife in the 3G

Very enjoyable video!

"Good knife...but not a GREAT knife." I pictured the knife in hand just waiting for that approval and then,no. Ha. Thanks for sharing.

It looks to have a low grind flat bevel in S30V. If you need a folder, Benchmade 551 Griptillian in 154CM or BladeTech Pro Hunter Magnum in S30V is nice. If you need a fixed blade, I think you will need to take a convex or a hollow geometry in count. Thanks.

And always a great video btw.

Looking forward to a 2013 update! :)

I dressed 5 deer this season and I used a Gerber gator fixed blade with the s30v blade. I would like to know if you think any knife is comparable or better with similar geometry.

Thanks for all your videos there awesome. Im getting a new knife for hunting and field dressing. Stuck between the Bravo 1 and Fox River and the A2 and 3V steel any suggestions. Thanks for all the uploads.

Following you for many months now i can now say this: by voice comments, you should sell all knives - sell me the moras - keep all bark river and blackjacks - buy more of both for the 2012 deer season - u have enought folders. have fun as i know you will see ya

I once searched their website. But I was not able to find mine. Thanks.

thank you for showing your collection with your even more interesting comments on it, I just expected to also see the gameskeeper, did you leave it on your belt?

I think it is essential for me to compare the 3V Fox River directly with the A2 Fox River in the field and make it clear if 3V outperforms A2 or if 3V is more chippy than A2. The both knives need to dress the same amount of many deer in a row before the evaluation. I am serious and the test must be strict. Thanks.

Excellent video. Very interresting to see al those different knives side by side. I noticed you skiped the Rat Model 1 folder you liked a lot when you used it. I may suggest to you the "Knives of Alaska" compagny. They deserve to be in your collection and offer very different ergonomics than other compagnies and top notch steel and craftmanship. You may want to try their "Magnum Ulu", something completely different than what you are used to. May be fun for you to see if you like it. Thx

First of all, awesome channel and great, informative videos. Second, I suggest you try out the new Becker line: the 15 16 and 17. They are all in this size range and you may enjoy them

I have a discontinued Lone Wolf Long Horn in S30V. It has a continuous crescent belly from the heel to the tip. It is not my taste but pretty useful for the actual deer dressing. Its handle seems to have the key. Anyway I have a video "My hunting folders 2012". I like Benchmade 551 and Ontario RAT1 pretty much. Buck Bantam large is a great value hunting knife. In contrast Gerbers were no good for hunting and given away. I have field videos on all of them too. Thanks.

If you ever try out the new Spyderco Phil Wilson Southfork, I would be interested in your opinion of the design and S90V steel for field dressing deer on your hunting trips.

The Mora Clipper is the bomb! Well, for the cash at least. That's what I use in both stainless (around salt water) and carbon (in my EDC bag). They do what needs to be done. I watch this video and want to purchase lots of other knives but the cash flow is not cooperating with my "wants". I have my eye out for a good Bark River Gunny at a good price. I have not yet seen that. Oh well, we can still dream.

that's a big bag of sharpened metal for sure!

They look like having a low grind flat bevel so to say Saber bevel. It is a difficult grind like KaBar USMC knife for me to give it a sharp convex edge. Thanks.

I would love to see what you could do to a Condor Knife. They might make some good inexpensive hobby knives for you. I bet you could make one into a really good knife.

A VERY BIG COLLECTION VERY GOOD SALUTE

Do you have any Knives of Alaska knives? I have learned a lot from you. Thank you.

I ever dug Knives of Alaska, but was not able to find a knife of my type. Thanks.

ty awesome site!

Great!

Hi, Just wondering if you're going to do a 2013 update to this video. Be interesting to see how your collection has changed. Being that it's off-season, would that be a possibility? Either way, Thanks for the videos!

wow what a great video,

Are bark river knives your favorite?

Wako, I wanted to ask: how do you keep all your knives in good condition?

It seems like made of some Chinese steel which resembles 8Cr13Mov in name. I discarded all my 8Cr13Mov knives after I knew it didn't hold its edge at all. SOG's AUS8 is no problem IMO. Thanks.

the linder super edge 1 & 2 is very good knives , you must show it ;)

Huge collection and you really can tell about details! it was also nice to see some Finnish made knifes manage to your "greatest" list! ;) By the way did you know that company (Brisa) wich make Enzo knifes is manufacturing Polar knifes too? there is maybe some interesting hunting knifes for your collection! :D And have a nice spring continuation!

Hi Wako-san, thanks for all the great videos. What is the name of the "great" knife you pull out at 42:38 pl? Only caught "Elk" something ... thanks

Great Hunting Knife collection !! Thanks Wako ! By the way, I am your avid fan from the Philippines.

Love your collection. Have you ever had any experience with Entrek knives? There is is going to be a future Stainless 440C ESEE 4, and I believe Entrek is a big competitor (proper heat treated 440C knives). What is your overall opinion of the different stainless steels?

very good information thanks

the bark river bravo necker 2; is it a good neck knife?

I don't like neck carry. I like handle scales even for a neck knife. But they increase the total weight of the knife decently and its neck carry always causes me a neck/shoulder pain. My only real neck carry knife is a cord wrapped Izula. I don't know if the Bravo Necker2 takes a nice cord wrap handle. But as long as it has scales, it is a great compact knife. About its edge angle, it can be larger in current 3V than in 12C27 of mine. Thanks.

Super video

I don't care about cleanness of my wood handles at all. I wash up the handles in hot water with kitchen soap every after use. But anyway my leather sheaths always have hairs, fat tissue, and blood in there. Thay are dry and no problem in my opinion. Thanks.
