Also have a Joker BS9 Trampero with olive wood grips and Kebhardt style blade......lovely knife and quite tough.....on my hip whenever I go into the bush.....

@@adrianotero7963 I have that one also. Great knife indeed.

Mick would approve!!!

Hola Pep, can you please tell me what the 'angle rope=latitude' means on the sharpener in the sheath? Im guessing the numbers are a clock but unsure on what else it means.. muchas gracias!!

The reason I'm asking you is that most of the reviews are in Spanish.. and my Spanish is terrible haha

@@Post-Alone Hi, Sorry but no idea. Seems to be a solar compass added on the back side of the whetstone. I have some Cudemants but no one with the stone and firesteel. I've never used a solar compass before and I don't know how it works.

@@pepzapata5577 no problems! Thanks for your response 😁

@@Post-Alone I mean... for the price of a normal and small compass (no need maths angles or..) instead of carry also the weight of a stone that I'm not gonna use (plus a huge knife) ..

When you are looking at a SHTF scenario you want a bullet proof blade. You are not backpacking so the weight factor is mute.

@@denisdegamon8224, I disagree. In a SHTF scenario you may indeed be "backpacking", and ounces will equal pounds more then ever. Its a great blade but there are better, lighter options.

@@Skyfall-sv8df Your opinion, as a past Airborne Infantry grunt type, realistically in bad situation you really need a stout unbreakable knife and this is one of those blades. It was dedigned for the military as a heavy duty do all survival, escape and evade weapon. This blade isn't for gram weenies. You are really searching for a good overall camp knife like one for bushcraft in the 4" -5" range with either an 1/8" or 5/32" or even a short 13/16" thick blade like a Tops BOB or a cheaper option might be the very serviceable Mora Garberg in 1095 carbon steel. Look for a shorter version that weighs in at around 10 to 12 ounces with the sheath and a good belt or dangler style sheath. Maybe even find one that is molly compatible so it could be mounted on your pack. Truth be known, over 90 % of the people are ill prepared to bug out and woukd be better served to shelter in place unless you are living in a city environment....in that case learn to becone a grey man and blend in. Most have no training and are not fit enough to hump a ruck, have no trsining, no real plan, not enough in route provisions.....most of them will just die.

@@denisdegamon8224, bugging out on foot is always the last option but if it comes to it, every ounce will matter, period. If you are truly claiming otherwise then you have no idea what youre talking about. Frankly, I've yet to meet anyone whose spent a lot of time on foot loaded with relevant gear that didn't care about weight, youre the first. Anyone who actually tries to prepare for real world scenarios, disasters, etc has seen time again, shelter in place is almost always the best option but there are exceptions. Fires, Tsunamis, hurricanes, etc are just a few natural reasons, never mind parts of the world where we've seen people have to flee to save their lives. And if you're not prepared as much as possible for any foreseeable disaster than you're really not prepared for much of anything and just fooling yourself. And in a bug in situation the Esee 5 makes even less sense. The esee 5 was designed for one purpose according to Esee. But hey, you like fairly small, heavy blades, great. And I understand you're a fanboy for Esee, and they do make fine blades. I'd bet I own more Esee knives then you. But there are better 5" blade options out there that can handle anything anyones going to need to do, except maybe the stuff from your fantasies. But if you like it, use it.

@@Skyfall-sv8df Dude I was an Airborne Ranger and worked with Special Forces types so what the hell do I know. If your not training weekly you sir ain't gonna make it anyhow. Don't even try packing too much crap, usd as much multi use tools and equipment to mimimize weight. Good luck to you, your going to need it.

Phat Outdoors we still rock these bags. I got a 511 rush 24 for smaller days They are good too but not as fitted to the bigger make of guy hahaha This pack is the way to go for sure. Though

Black Anchor Outdoors thanks for such a quick response and thanks for the feedback!

Black Anchor Outdoors one more question while I got you attention. What do you think about the 5.11 RUSH 72 vs the Vilture II?

I’d go the maxpedition but the 51 is really just as good. Just had more pockets and organisation. I use more organisation pouches in the 72 hour bag. Where as the 24 hour I wanted more organisation.
