I've just received the elmax version, it'll be interesting to see how well it does. Some good safety tips that are often forgotten. Thanks.

Alone season 10 winner carried the speedy sharpe. I would have taken it as well, it does take off alot of metal when sharpenig blades but would work just fine.

On a less serious note: I bet the fine motor skills of a Neanderthal were pretty spectacular 😅

As I added to my knife collection, I learned about the Swedish military choosing the FALLKNIVEN F1 as their pilot’s survival knife, so naturally I just had to have one and did buy one. There’s a degree of confidence that goes with carrying a knife that a country chose for their military pilots.

Sorry more than half the time I can’t tell a word your saying, try talking to the camera not the floor. Either that or the sound on this video is terrible even though I can hear the birds fine.

Great video, thank you and greetings from a fellow Celt in Cornwall.

Thank you!

first time viewer I really enjoyed this video and I have a couple of Folks that I love.

I agree with all your talking points and also agree that the F1 meets all criteria. Get a zytel sheath and now you also don't have to worry about the sheath getting dirty. If I want to do a lot of wood whittling all day long I bring a knife with a more rounded and thicker handle but the F1 is my 'just in case knife'. If you want to keep a scandi to zero bevel it's actually a lot of work, you need some serious tools, you will have to remove some serious material and that's time consuming also. If I'm gonna use a knife that's scandi to zero I put a secondary convex bevel on it before even taking it out in the bush.

I have a substantial knife collection. But i always come backbto my fallkniven F1. Small, lighy, easy to carry and oh so capable. I made myself a kydex sheath to wear it slightly higher on my belt. Witch is nice if i dont use a backpack.

Hello, I'm interested in your content, how can I contact you?

Great review. I put the spine on a grinder because the Shango notch is a joke. With that change though it’s a great bushcraft survival knife.

Personally, I think a good striker is more important than a good ferro rod. I use a high speed steel striker and it's a game changer. I'm going to buy this Speedy Sharp and see if it's just as good. Great vid!

Great video, very informative too. I enjoyed my No2, it was my most used knife in my collection. Time I got another one after I lost mine during in my last house move. It’s funny how we get attached to our well used tools/items, they hold many memories

Only a suicidal fool would trust their life to a mora no1 or 2 in a survival situation

Excellent

I still to this day believe the Fallkniven F1 is the finest production belt knife currently on the market. If it was the only knife made in the world I dont think we would miss out on much.

i enjoyed this video so much can i ask you your opinion on karasuandokniven i have their small axe and the light fixed blade knife i find the little hatchet as its called very versatile its a knife on a stick

Excellent video! Just curious if you are going to do a follow-up video on the Gossman Polaris knife you have. That grind is completely different than either of the grinds you covered in this video.

I’m on my second F1 as well, about eight years ago, learnt my first one to my brother when where in Killarney of course he in lost it . But he was good enough to replace it with another one

What's your favorite or favorites, from all the knives you've tried please?!

Great video🙂 I love moras because they are so light!

Thanks so much Graham means a lot for the good positive vibes.

Thoughts and prayers for your mother! Thanks to Natalie Take care Graham

😊 Great Nuggets of Info as always

Really nice 👍🏻 I have his mk 2🙂

I have this knife and I like it a lot.

The full tang version is significantly more expensive. As a practical matter, why should anyone pay more? That is, under what actual usage conditions would the regular fail so that you would really need the full tang? 0:19

Hi, this is UHC version?

Can you please share what knife you broke at the tang? I am considering the Architect 6.5 but am reconsidering because it is skeletonized.. the downside is that the ESEE 5 1095, but the architect is 3v steel. Can you share your thoughts?

7:32 that’s true

Surprised by this review, my information is that the tang on this knife is heavily skeletonised? Maybe you know differently??

I have the stainless as well as the carbon garberg. I respect both of them.

I've given myself a dilemma by getting a Genisis in both Scandi and flat grind. I find myself struggling to decide which one I want to take. The flat is so good for slicing but that scandi just hogs through wood.

Nice vid! 👍 LT makes fantastic knives! Of my LT’s, aI use the Lagom the most, but each have a place.

Love the shape, but I would like to have it bigger with an 8.5" to 10" blade and 1/2" wider. So it look like a mini sword.😅

I’m new to your channel it all makes sense on what you’re saying about the knife that you want to rely on when you have a life situation to get fire and shelter great video thanks will keep watching your videos

I can tell you’re a great instructor, thank you for sharing all your insights! You always need a good trout knife! (Of course you got to catch them first haha) I always really enjoy your down to earth videos. LT makes fantastic knives for sure. After listening closely to what you feel makes a good knife I can tell we look at things pretty similarly. I do my own survival and Bushcraft classes and I decided to design and produce my own knife a couple years ago. It’s been a good time learning the skill and I think I’m really getting it dialed in, if you’re interested I’ve got some videos of it over on my channel. Thanks for another good video!

Yeeeeesssssss!!!!! Finally !! Man that ,,,its not a one tool option its a one tool with no options!!! Man that hit hard!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this video!!!

Excellent review! Getting a used Garberg I got at a good price in the mail soon. Also, I completely agree with your view on Scandi grinds, and I disagree with the idea that there such a thing as a "true" scandi. As a Scandinavian person I've seen many different variations on grinds. Many are slightly hollow, slightly convex, or more like a saber grind. The zero grind Scandi, while very effective at woodcarving, makes many knives lose their versatility in my opinion. Now a Garberg might actually be able to handle it, since it's got decently thick blade stock and the primary grind angle is quite obtuse (compared to many, especially vintage, Scandi knives). Very refreshing to hear someone else say these things as many in the online Bushcraft community seem to think a microbevel is always bad. I don't agree that a fulltang is a must though, but then again I'm not really into the whole survival thing. Have a nice weekend!

What is better the 3v steel or rwl34?

Great rundown and review! I remember watching your original Genesis video a while back. Just curious. How do you sharpen and maintain your Genesis knives? I have seen people comment many times that a Scandi ground to zero like a Genesis is only good for working with soft wood, and that they would chip out really easily if hitting bone when skinning game or batoning and be terrible for any type food prep. You seem to go against that, using it for more than just wood, but also survival in general and you also mentioned that it's your hunting knife. Do you happen to find any of this to be true? Do you do anything special sharpening wise to make sure the Scandi grind is not so delicate? I know LTWK grinds these to zero, then does their hard micro buff. Is regular sharpening then maintaining on a strop in between sharpening enough, or would adding a micro-bevel like Mora does be a necessity? Thank you!

I ordered a MK24. Can't wait

Would be interesting to try it for carving 🤔

Great points Sir. Thanks for sharing. In my opinion Mora Clipper is marvel of all blades maden by human. Ps. It looks your lower half is buried in soil :d

I have both ss and carbon, I've used my ss constantly for nearly two years simply because I love the knife, I have had no problems with it whats so ever, it holds a great edge, I simply strop it at the end of a working day, a lot less maintenance in wet weather a lot less to worry about. I'm not saying I don't like the carbon, but apart from flint and steel I haven't found much difference in performance. As for flint and steel if you're prepared enough to have a knife you should be prepared enough to carry a good fire kit, I love the way these survival sernarios the person is always left with just a knife. I always believe the best survival tool lives between your ears.

Too bad it's 400 dollars.

I wonder if you've ever tried the Milwaukee knife there are two models Tradesmen knife that is regular Steel and the other one D2 Steel both are Full Tang and about the size of a Bushcraft knife the one that is D2 has much more of a Kydex survival sheath
