Oh man, I’m so glad you got to mentioning orienting the wood with the knots towards the bottom…that’s something so few videos touch on. Taking a few seconds to read the round before you split it can make a huge difference in your efficiency. If you’ve taking a few swings and don’t seem to be making progress, try moving the log or swinging 90 degrees to your previous splits. Next step would be, as you say, “Flip your wood.” That seems to really work for me. For what it’s worth, I found the X27 to be the axe I reach for 99% of the time. The speed you can generate with that long handle and light, well-weighted head do serious work and it really doesn’t take much out of you. They do struggle if you try splitting LARGE rounds down the middle, so those rounds get split from the outside in. Or, if I’m feeling up to it, I’ll bring their maul out and bust them into quarters. That thing wears me out though! I’ve got some axes that I really want to try out, like some vintage Tassies I had ordered from New Zealand and some newer ones from Conrad, Hoffman, etc.

@@shane4176 an upgrade from the gen 2 (which was perfect btw) is the bearings which make the knife fire as hard as the gen 2 but smoother. They added a fuller to the blade, a back spacer, and torx screws so regular people can take them apart for mods or cleaning. 3m grip tape ensures no slippage while using (unlike the gen 2 which can be slick at times). New clip for the gen 3 (actually a socom alpha clip). You can baton, slice, push cut, underwater cut, dirt cut, and even shoot it with a bullet and it doesn't fail....unlike more pricey mt otfs. They have partial serrated, standard edge, tanto, and drop points available in many great colors and some not so great colors. It's not a pocket hog at all. And for a small compact folder there is enough purchase in the grip to be 100% comfortable while having almost 4 inches of sharp, slicey blade to cut with. I have owned and hard used at least 50 knives that were supposed to be the best knife ever, and I choose to carry a ludt over all of them. Real easy to sharpen. Also, it has never fired in my jeans pocket. I sleep with it in my shorts pocket and it has never fired accidentally. For not having a safety that is fantastic.

Do you think the NL5 is worth the extra price over the standard F1 ? I’ve had the F1, in VG10, and love it… been 10 years now. Always wished the handle had better ergonomics though. I’ve always loved the look of the NL5 and recently had the chance to handle one. It is beautiful but I was expecting the handle to be a bit thicker. The NL5 is basically 3x the price of the F1, questioning if it’s worth it.

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!

@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!
@wismods 5 ай 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!
@shane4176 5 ай 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.
