Im not sure how high u can heat treat the 20cv but if u get it professionally treated higher than what survive does it, i bet that knife does the same test with no damage at all.

Brother, I am no expert feathersticker, but from my personal use I have found the v -edge to be easier in terms of consistency and predictability. I have compared two knives witht the same degree angles of convex and v-edge, both profiled and sharpened by me, and while the convex did beautiful feather it seemed a bit harder to maintain the cutting edge being engaged with wood compared to the v-edge. And of course the convex will maintain a better edge in general due to the geometry. I also recognise this may be a matter of individual preference, or what you are more used to. I also noticed the Ka-Bar you are using is factory sharp, which is mediocer at best. Would be good to see you do a comparison of similar edge angles on the same knife (the cold steel master hunter for example, which you have two of), sharpened to a mirror edge. Great content, I subsscribed :) Cheers!
@shane4176Ай бұрын
@wismods so 1 convex and one regular v grind comparison? Also thanks for the sub!
@wismodsАй бұрын
@shane4176 yes, a head to head between a convex edge vs a v-edge, both sharpened at 30-34 (15-17 degrees per side). And, if possible, it would be best to do this with two identical knives. Cheers!
@wismodsАй бұрын
you make very good points regarding the handle on the master hunter. You clearly understand knives well. The geometry is very good and much better than the Fallkniven, but I wish they had made it with a hard plastic underneath with a rubber overmold. I would have loved for it to have the hard plastic on the finger guard and pommel, that way you could put it to hard use without fearing to tear up the soft rubber. The finger guard is already tearing up from sliding the knife in and out of the sheath, so imagine scraping that portion against wood while batoning. Also, I have seen some cold steel rubber handles just comming off from the tang. They should reengineers their handles to something similar to the Hultafors OK4 knife, that is one of the most comfortable hadles I have used. I may still purchase the knife and do my own burlap micarta handle on it (similar to what I have done to a number of my knives), that should make a beautiful hard use bushcrafter. How do you feel aboutt he durability of the handle? Cheers!
@shane4176Ай бұрын
@wismods thanks for watching and for the kind words. As far as the handle durability so far I've been very happy with it. I definitely agree the finger guard could possibly be a point of failure at some. Although so far for me I haven't had any issues. But I also am not using the knife day in and day out. It could eventually fail.

Gerber went down hill after fiskers. They have alot of big adds but. My old Gerbers much better than new. Evan the Fisker knives. Gerber/Fisker machete no distal taper no balance, vase shape handle requires a tight grip bad news if you work all day. The edge is a hallow ground bound for failure. I was given one the edge was a mess to much to grind, I had to straiten the edge with a couple of hammers. Caronas, Collins, Cold steel and others alot better.

@richardbadish69904 ай бұрын
I hear you on not liking the round stihl handle. But to be fair, the rotation of the head upon contact. Is actually helping with the splitting action. If u allow the head to rotate. It helps kick the pieces away from one another. Maybe instead of fighting it, try allowing it to rotate. I think that might help u more, obviously if u are trying to force it not to rotate. It would definitely hurt the hands rather fast.. Just a thought..

So i dont know if its a plecebo or not, but sometimes on that really knotted stuff i will take a couple cracks at the knots with a regular chopping axe to just try and break up that kind of curl of knots running through it and it seems to split a bit better. Again it might just be in my head but worth a try if anyone gets really super stuck on a knotted piece

@shane41764 ай бұрын
I would say this. It really depends on what you intend on using the knife for. For a survival type knife that you intend on doing lots of chopping shelter building and batoning with I'd say yes! But if you were just looking for an overall Bushcraft knife I would not recommend it. It's too heavy and thick and tiresome to use for making notches and carving and cutting paracord and making fire. I think there are much better knives for the later.
