It's an old beat up 5.11 tactical. I wouldn't buy one again because the belt sips and always has in the buckle bit it's ok for air travel as everything is plastic.

No pun intended! 😂

Many thanks. Yes this is indeed a very peaceful place to be.

Yes, there are some good rocks around for sure and one finds them, they are a bit like "treasures" Thanks for watching!

Many thanks for watching! It came directly from them. But of course one can/should (to avoid any knock offs- I'm not sure if there is one already or not - but nothing would surprise me with what I've seen) buy it from any of their acknowledged resellers.

@@BushCampingTools Thank you sir. I’m looking forward to a video on the Extrema Ratio Fatboy if you get one.

@@rudymirelez7463 We will see........

Many thanks!

Hey there, thanks for watching!

yeah I have to say they were all very sharp when i got them. But certainly, I've never had to retouch a blade when new out of the box. My fulcrum S I actually reground the edge but this wasn't because it wasn't sharp but i wanted it different for my applications with a less steep edge. My other Fulcrums, the NFG and the larger one were def super sharp out of the box. Many thanks for watching and commenting.

Totally agree with you. Also, dunno if happened only with me, my both Extrema Ratio knives (a Fulcrum Black and a Kukri KS) are not that sharp, mainly the Fulcrum Black (no problem about the Kukri). I don't know if whoever sharpened it did it wrong or if it's a characteristic of the brand. It's even dificult to slice a ripe tomato.

I looked at it carefully Gruggs, it would be very heavy in the handle if they didn't remove some steel for sure, it's like 1/4" thick and immediately one can feel it is rather heavy for a relatively medium to large knife.. Plus it can be cord wrapped using those cut outs to hold and secure a cord. But just look at what i used it for, levering out that palm material with my full weight, it's strong for sure. I'll make a video about this I think.

It is for sure, no sounds of anything except the bush LOL. Thanks for watching

Thanks mate, more to come on this subject. Plus stick around for the catfish cooking vid!

Fantastic! Yes they are great watches. Thanks for sharing this here.

Without a doubt the Dobermann IV has better cutting power/functionality, it can do everything I did with this knife and better shock absorbing capacity due to the Forprene grip. Some may argue the Tuscan will be stronger due to the full tang construction, however I would argue that the Doberman in normal, rational, realistic hands (even under adverse situations-I've been in some of them) would not let you down. The Tuscan will however, definitely be much easier to maintain the edge in the field without any proper sharpening tools and or having to have good sharpening skills due to it having a straight edge, unlike the Dobbermann IV. The Tuscan it is possible to cord wrap the handle, the Doberman, whilst this is possible it would be difficult I think to maintain it under hard use. Whist I bashed the tip of the Tuscan with that super hard (and heavy) chunk of dead eucalyptus wood, I would hesitate to do the same for the Dobermann IV because the tip whilst it is also slightly thickened it also has a slightly thinner swedge. The Dobermann IV, you can not press the palm of your hand into the butt to force the knife tip into anything because of the "persuader" type pommel which is more geared up for military use in CQ combat I would argue. The Tuscan whilst probably also heavily marketed towards military use, the rear end, one can easily place the palm of their hand against the butt and press hard without hurting your hand. The Dobermann IV can be used for hunting of large game. The Tuscan is definitely NOT a knife for hunting although you could in a pinch but it certainly wouldn't be my deliberate choice for such activities.

@@BushCampingTools Wow, thanks for the really detailed answer. You brought up some really good points!!! Thank you!

My pleasure.

Many thanks as usual for watching!

Thanks mate, much appreciated! Glad you liked it!

@@BushCampingTools Yeah man I’m gonna have to save up for one of these!

Hey thanks very much!

Me too. It rocks!

Thanks for watching.

The good old Aussie bush!

then buy one and use it. then you will see the light. can confirm the statement.. sorry

Well as they say, actions speak louder than words and these two watches (shown here) not just monetary wise but mechanical and aesthetics wise, are giving Japanese watches of similar design a run for their money. Sapphire crystal, Swiss Phosphors, fine attention to machining details, Ceramic bezel inserts (ok there IS a Japanese movement-Japan does seem to have the field here, ie TMI, which is a subsidiary of Seiko, and even those "watch movements" are made by the "group factories" of which more than like the movement is also made in China. But there is NO reason why China can not make quality products if she so chooses, just like any country, if they chose to. IMHO.

Many thanks for watching!

Yeah! and i'm loving it!

Definitely!

Yes you are right here, the Doberman is the better cutter for sure. I will anyway explain this to those who don't know in a later video. Thanks for watching!

@@BushCampingTools The interesting thing is when you demonstrate what can be done with each knife, exploring its advantages and disadvantages to the fullest. The adventure of a good tool. 🔪

many thanks for watching glad you liked the video!

Just hearing you refer to a Japanese style I think of Unagi and love it!

LOL, many thanks and well said! Thanks for watching, I was actually thinking about doing something similar for many of the watches shown here but actually using a specialist scope to really magnify things, maybe it might put potential buyers off LOL!?

It's just a video. Spent my whole life in the lab as a research scientist. The point was for people who don't know (Which is not you. :))this and believe it to be something else "magical"/green LOL

Nope!
