We can have a knife with locks on with any lengh blade we just can't carry them. Yeah i know but people keep stabbing each other and then the whole country riots ,so thats us then. A lot of people take no notice but you run the risk of arrest.

Using Google Lens the characters say something like "Trademark Certificate Higonokami Sadakoma"

Hi! Thanks for the video! I just ordered one of these, size L, steel cable, hehehe. What kind of oil do you recommend using to protect it against rust? Thanks again! :D

whats the width of the handle at the widest point?

Some of the tools should be seen as medical and/ or pharmacist's tools. The small blade for tracheotomy. The cutical pusher as a device to take some powder from a medicin jar or pot, opened by the "orange peeler" that slices the sealed cover like on some liqueur bottles. The hook is used to pull out the cotten ball out of the open pot or jar.

New collector here, just ordered this exact style Copperlock and I’m pretty anxious. How do you feel about it one year later?

these are great knifes but, not for carry IMO. i love them in my tackle box or camp site.

Like the blade dislike the handle to slab sided and I would send it back with gap being so bad at the back end, like French knives but not this one. 🙄

What??? A French knife with no blade rap??? 😆Nice looking piece, buddy!

That's a great looking one! Excellent video as well!!

So the knife has both a blade kick AND a stop pin? What is the point in that?

Until the penny dropped, it used to confuse the hell out of me that there was a Pradel pattern and a Pradel knife manufacturer. I think that handle is called a coffin handle. It looks like it's been constructed with typical French 'joie de vivre', and to be honest you could find similar on the Taylor's basic Barlow at one time, if not still, which I can't help but compare it to. Like the Taylor's, it also looks like it will last a lifetime. It's funny, but since collecting French knives myself, I've also stopped letting knives snap shut.

I was thinking about this one.

neat little knife

I'd classify that as a "Cigar jack". Sleeveboard Jacks are slightly narrower at the blade end.

May I ask where in AB you are located?

Metal frets on wooden guitar necks raise or show burrs when the wood around them shrink. It's especially noticeable when wood dries out in places such as here in Alberta where winters are harshly dry and our overall humidity is low compared to areas near large bodies of water. It means taking off the strings, taping off the neck, re-filing, and reburnishing the steel frets. I would imagine the same goes for knives - especially when the wood isn't indigenous to the location of harvest

Nice review.

The brand has been around along time. Generational family steelsmiths/knife builders from Turkey. Joseph is the son who of all things, chose Sundre, Alberta as his home base. The family builds numerous steel items back in Turkey. Joseph also sells numerous other items not related to knives, but is still part of the family business. He has some amazing blades of various styles. I'm helping him with his English so that he doesn't have to rely on a translator app.

Love Otter knives,just added a Mercator Safari to the collection 🇩🇪

Baxter Blades sent me over! Thanks for the video. First I’ve heard of this knife company!

Thats a fantastic looking knife!

Nice looking knife! Cheers, buddy!

The recruit and the classic SD are all I need in my pocket for sure. I’ve carried larger SAK’s all my life but like this one best as it’s just a jackknife with a few extras. Awesome! Hey! I’m in Ontario Canada…you said you paid Canadian dollars…🇨🇦👍

I will need to check out Knives of France again,thanks for showing us that one KR

Like the Opinel in regards to the blade full cutting edge, no frills work knife. 😁

Man I got to pick one up. I just bought the Squirrel from the same company that makes douk douk

I've just started watching knife videos a couple of weeks back. I was like, how do these different channels sound like the same person. Then I saw TheStreamingElderman uploaded his last video more then a year ago when this channel started. I asked a question on your old channel which I will repeat here if you don't mind. As I told you I bought my first Opinel. The only complaint I would have is that it's kinda tough to open. I wonder if I could and should use some oil, since it's the steel against the wood. Didn't just want to start spraying around with WD40. Greetings from the Netherlands

If it really bugs you, you could get a local knife maker with a belt sander to reprofile the spine of the blade so that it goes back to the Ettrick pointed shape. A place to find a 'berta knife maker may be Canadian Knifemaker Supply - they have a link to knife maker profiles on their site. Another option is to do it yourself with a progressive series of stones. Trace the profile from an untouched Ettrick onto the blade with a marker. Clamp the blade in a vise with soft jaws . Wear hand protection & watch out for the cutting edge and point. Have at it - takes forever but the advantage to doing it with stones is low $$$ cost and no chance of overheating the tip of the blade. Best of luck,

The replacement Lambfoot sent to me by the FSS as compensation for the first broken backspacing Lambsfoot also broke in the same manner in less than a week. Lots of other world knives to look at Spain, Portugal, Japan, Eastern Europe and of course France all have interesting historic contributions to pocket cutlery. French Friction folders have become one of my favourites to collect. No problems importing from Knives of France in TX. The world is your oyster - you know what to do. Cheers,

Nice video man! I bought my first Opinel last week, a No 08 to accommodate me on my first camping trip! :D And now I think I want a 06 as a EDC. Would love to try the carbone steel one but I agree they should offer it with other wood handles. Here in the Netherlands, you can get the Opinel No 06 pretty cheap via the web though. €10,80 for Inox and Carbone with beach wood. Oak, Walnut and Olive are €16,50 and Padouk with polished blade is €21,90.

Having been an officer in the British Royal Naval reserve, I bought one of these as soon as I saw it. I bought the small one initially, but added a large one soon after. It has white smooth bone and a blue blade. It really is a beautiful piece, but as you say marginal for Carrie in the UK. I’ve never actually cut anything with it, because I’m not sure how well the bluing would hold up!

A locking knife is illegal in use UK

Have owned 3 and all 3 back springs broke within one week of ownership. This is a very validating video to see. 1 - lambfoot barlow in ebony; 2 - small lambfoot swayback; 3 - lambfoot barlow in whiskey barrel oak. Third one broke on my yesterday.

Why do all you desktop knifeboys have those feminine hands? It's weird, but when guys have those soft women hands, I'm out. Don't trust reviews from deskboys when they talk about gear and stuff. Don't you guys ever do some hard work?

Why did you put a black and white filter on this vid ? We can't see how is the green micarta scales

The version I have regarding Sheepsfoot, Ramsfoot and Lambsfoot is that they are the blades best suited to the trimming of the hooves of the respective animals from which they take their names. I don't know this for a fact but it came from someone who claimed as much. Further research required.

Aber du sprechts zer gut, mein freund! By my lights this is clearly a Ramsfoot profile - but splash an anchor into that scale and lo you have a Rope Knife. I trace this profile to the advanced maritime cultures of Atlantis and Hyperborea, and being a professed expert in precisely nothing, I'm pretty sure I can get away with it. Ooh you just said Ramfoot - Hi five! It's cool you lend consideration to the UK market and knife laws. It's also something I think about a lot, although I moved away and now regularly carry knives the mere possession of which could land me years in prison back in the auld country. Thank you for the excellent review. Now I want one

Very nice knife!

I really like the looks of this one👍Thanks for showing it off, buddy!

Excellent knife, one of my favorite patterns 🔥

Like a traditional knife with comfortable handle German makers seem to do these well, still prefer brass liners and Spearpoint or Drop point blade but yes a very good work knife built to a high standard I think QC does a good job at German companies, better than most. 😁

Löwen messer used to make these anchor knives also, may be hard to find, but also look great. Otter have a new Mercator out at the moment with a buckel blade on it, so you can spread your butter in the wild. Ps thanks for your videos ,always on point.

sweet knife , I do prefer the 3 rivet variant , but the blade on the anchor is really strong

I had to have one of these after owning a Mercator and Hubertus, since Otter makes both now! =]

Otter is the best german Solingen's manufakture if u ask me. Btw, it's nearly impossible to buy 1 from here (russian Siberia). I've got Akermesser with white bone handle and blue steel.

Very unfortunate for such an A Wright supporter. I have around 40 A Wright's in various designs. Also many TEWS and Egginton Group brands. And by way of comparison French, German, Italian, American and more. Victorinox etc etc. In other words I'm like most of you with this affliction and love of traditional knives. I always carry a Swiss Champion, it's an older one early 1970s. And usually an A Wright is my preferred second carry. I haven't experienced any problems with any of my Wright knives and while my TEWS are beautifully presented specimens I think the Wright's are very appealing heavy duty work ready pocket knives. My instinct is, without thinking, to grab an A Wright Barlow, why? Because they are not just a good knife they are a great knife. We can have problems with any manufactured products, that doesn't mean it's acceptable. Traditional knife making is probably a dying art in that training people in such a specialised trade and being able to pay them adequately is incredibly challenging. I believe we need to support our traditional knife makers and if they have quality problems, let's try and help them get better. Overall I have many Sheffield knives, they are not all perfect but compared to the many and various in the rest of my collection they are pretty good. By the way I have watched most of your videos and have greatly enjoyed your channel. Keep it up.

That was an excellent review. I often come across the French Anchor knife, the Pradel version you could easily mistake for the Otter. And wondered what was going on. Nicely explained. I'm not a great Wharnie fan, but I do like that webermesser you were showing. They're all nice really. They look like a set.

A stocky looking knife.I could be tempted to buy one.
