Just picked up another sub. I've been on a farm for over 50 years and have collected over 400 knives. I love knives and vintage fishing reels

Case stockman or trapper has worked for nearly 50 years for me

A Buck 110 on the belt and a 3-7/8" stockman in the pocket and you'll be ready for anything farm life has to throw at you.

Actually, I use a razor knife more than any other knives I own. However, my primary knives are: Buck folding knife, a Buck fixed blade skinning knife with gut hook, a Gerber multi tool, and an original USMC Ka-Bar. I carry either the Buck folding knife or the Gerber multi tool knife 90% of the time.

I just stopped by to see what all the city slickers are saying to buy

One knife I'm never without is my old CaseXX Marlinspike. I'm a city boy though! Drive a full size pickup and it seems like I'm always hauling something and using rope. From years of Hunting, Fishing and Camping trips, my Dad always said you should never cut a rope unless you absolutely need to. That Marlinspike is a godsend.

I had a box cutter I could change blades and stay sharp. I suppose if I used a "real" knife I would use something with multiple blades so I always had another blade that was sharp and ready to go

5:52 now that’s a knife that has been around! lots of time on the sharpening stone with that

You are a keeper ! Great info with humor and character ! Keep it goin and stay down to earth !

Interesting video. I think a multi tool, a stockman pattern and a 4" to 5" fixed blade should be more than adequate for everyday farm chores. Growing up in California I carried a Buck 110, a Imperial stockman and a Western Cutlery hunting fixed blade. This was long before multi tools were invented. I like the Leatherman line of multi tools and the Gerber line. They both come with replaceable hard wire cutters and a blade that locks. Those blades are light to medium duty cutters. The Stockman is a light to medium cutter and has a Spey blade for the purpose of castrating your culls. Remember now we did that still in the 60's and 70's. We used the sheepsfoot blade to trim the hooves on the sheep and goats. For heavier cutting duties, like processing wild game, skinning coyote hides or butchering a steer for the roundup BBQ, we used a fixed blade. There were no SO CALLED TACTICAL KNIVES back then. It's either a slip joint, fixed or locking blade. Don't buy into the whole Tactical Folder bs. Anybody who willingly goes into battle with a Tactical Folder is a fool. A fixed blade combat knife is used. Any lockable blade with a thumb stud and pocket clip will serve a civilian as a EDC / TACTICAL Folder. But you are right about 1 thing, the cheaper the knife, the less durable it is. Those disposable razor knives your dad likes are very valuable on a farm. Don't discount them till you've learned what they can and can't do. Your still young so you got plenty of time to learn. Keep up the learning, that's how we become the best we can be.

Try an LT Wright Next Gen, a sturdy, short 3 inch blade fixed blade, available from many of the larger online knife distributors. I use DLT Trading myself, or Knife Connection. That, and a good Swiss army knife.

Pick up a used kitchen knife with a blade less than six inches, full tang preferably with integral bolster and make a sheath. If you want to spend money, buy a Svord or Opinel. Both great carbon steel knives that hold an edge. Either way you won't cry too much when you forgot where you left them.

Ive lost every single expensive folder ive ever owned so i carry a 50 dollar civivi most of the time, i carry a fixed blade on my bag which is either a yakut knife or a cold steel finn hawk which if you like mora you should checkout the finn hawk for sure

Before I watched this I thought to myself *what's the best knive for a farmer? Anything sharp enough*. I've used plenty of rocks and anything else to cut twine off a bale before when it's early and I forgot a knife😂

Tacticle. I love it man!

For a folding blade i really think you should invest in a Spyderco, hundreds of options when it comes to spyderco and those things are some of the most reliable blades out there with amazing locking mechanisms and some of the best blade steels you can get, they don’t come cheap though. Even their “budget” line runs about $50 but they’ll last an eternity compared to your $10 gas station folders. Imo you need only 4 blades at most. A folder, multi-tool (leatherman is king of belt multi-tools, victorinox for pocket multi-tools) a stockman type (sheepsfoot blade, clip and spey usually) and a fixed blade. Hawksbills are stupidly under appreciated too btw.

The best all around knife is the tops backpacker by far hands down the best on the planet little buddy I hope you get one you will love it don't let the look of the handle throw you off trust me it will be your favorite

Try the Victorinox No. 7 (harvester). For me it does everything.

Have you ever tried a fixed blade neck knife. I thought it was pretty much gimmick but when I started carrying one around the house, camping, and hiking I discovered it is usually the one I grab because it is right there in front of me. Some Don’t like them but for me they work. Comes down to whatever floats your boat.

Mora knives are cheap, they can be replaced. If you liked that, have a look at a Marttiini Condor Timberjack. They do them with a plastic sheath (like Mora) or a leather sheath and they start under the price of a Mora. These knives are just modern versions of European iron age knives, the design never really changed. If it ain't broke.....

I like buck 110 and the 119 I carry both sometimes...

A boker or case stockman is nice. 3 blades and they don’t break. Simple design

German Farmer here. My folders: Buck 112 Victorinox sentinel And attention please Victorinox farmer Fixed blades : Mora Companion Mora companion heavy duty My ultimate edc: Otter Ankermesser with oak shells.

They've got pliers to cut with and a multitude tasks can be handled.

One in our pocket an one on our side an one n or boot

Fantastic video😂👍

I usually carry 4 or 5 knives, although I only use 2 of them for working. The other ones are loaners in case someone forgets theirs. I've always got a 10 inch blade bowie knife, a mid 60's 2 blade Kabar that I found in a bog and occasionally a small folding box cutter for cutting rope, twine and string. The other two are a Gerber flatiron and a cheap camillus folding knife.

Check out Cold Steel Knives. Pound for pound Cold Steel are some of the Toughest and most Reliable knives I’ve ever owned and use. In the last 30yrs I’ve owned and used hundreds of knives and with out a Doubt Cold Steel is my go to.

What is the best farm knife?

Kid... These videos will always be on the internet, for everyone to see.

A 110 Buck Knife . It's a Folding Buck Knife that comes in a Sheath.🇺🇸🤠💃🐎🐎🐎🐃🐂🐃🐂🐃🐃🐃🐓🐓🐓

Im here wondering the best long working knife to carry while working calves ?Hate to see someone working on those little guys and their knife quits quickly ! Ya know what i mean . PlEASE HELP "someones" bday is around the corner and the bull calves thankyou !

I did ranch work for an older couple when I was a kid (I maintained the fences and feed the animals, didn't actually do any handling of the animals other then the chickens and the wife's hobby goats). Back then I carried a old schrade walden stockman, a Rat-1 folding modern knife or Buck 110 and also had either my Buck 119 or schrade pro hunter fixed blades. Having a variety of different blades was nice for various task along with always having a sharp edge. I have since moved on to incorporate more expensive knives into my life and more recently in the last couple of years moved past feeling bad using them.

I broke the tip too

Farm guy needs a real full tang quality knife. Esee, Tops, Lt Wright or Battle Horse knives. On a budget just get you a Mora. Those cheap buck knives are junk

A Buck 112 will do it all!!

Any knife with a screw in it , I wouldn’t own, I’ll stay with Buck 110, American 🇺🇸 made multi tool !!!!

Pretty cool nebraska 🚜 👦. I sometimes carry a knife... Guess which of your siblings? ( read "sisters")

*tactical

I always carry my kabar dozier and multiplier. For heavier garden work I use a big chopper from Huntshield. As for that “survival knife”, do yourself a favour and throw it out with those old disposable blades. Those have to be the worst knives ever made.

opinel nr 10 om mijn nek👍
