Old hickory butcher knife and 4 inch paring knife were my first outdoors knives, $18 for both and they're still kicking after all this time. Modified the butcher knife into a kephart style. Good knives for beginners.

[@charlescollier7217]

I look forward to this comparison. Because there is NO way the Esee is worth the asking price.

[@HarveySpectre415]

Two things I love, Old Hickory and Diablo.

Trick to dealing with burs on steels is when you are almost done run the edge straight into a piece of soft wood like pine, this pulls off the bur, then you run it once each side back on the stone to refinish the edge. This is a tip I was taught by wood carver and its so simple I at least went DUH.

[@d00mg4ze]

Cool, thanks for the tip.

[@garethbaus5471]

I do this about halfway through my stropping process.

[@jknn5659]

[@wemcal]

Great video and that is a wonderful cleaver... It cuts like all the others and people make cleavers out of any piece of scrap metal laying around and they last a real long time... ol Hickory cleavers has butchered years of meat in our family.. great cleaver and great video

[@ajn.mychannel4864]

You are becoming one of my favourite channels very quickly, your upload schedule is crazy. Keep up the awesome work!!

[@drysori]

Steel utensils including knifes in food prep even if rusted are OK. They even provide a source of dietary iron

[@tacticalcenter8658]

the question is how was the heat treat of the esee cleaver vs the Ontario Old Hickory Cleaver. cause tbo they may have refined the grain structure more or have it at a different hardness level. i havent a clue but it will be interesting to see them pitted against each other, especially with the price differences and similar functions but with the same steel.

[@OutnBacker]

I've begun using Old Hickory knives as a base for bushcraft knives. They are a good value with good quality steel. The most popular model for mods is the 7" butcher knife. But I prefer the cleaver for its thicker blade. It measures .098" thick so perhaps a more rugged blank than the butcher knife by a bit. As a cleaver, the Old Hickory might be a little light, but for a general purpose cleaver, it'll do. Pros might not like it though.

[@luke-te3sr]

I JUST cleaned up a crusty one I picked up. I'm waiting for the handle to dry now so I can oil it up. Some slight pitting in that texture on mine from year of neglect. Bit I'm ok with it. I will most likely add it to the elk cleaning kit next to the hatchet

[@gordonstevenson535]

music from Diablo, love it. Oh nice review.

[@CedricAda]

+Gordon Stevenson it made me think of the first butcher quest under the catedral so in it went!

[@tacticalcenter8658]

okay ive heard that music (in the part where you start chopping) i cant put my finger of what game thats from. i love it and played it alot whatever it was, i just cant remember. was it the first Diablo?

[@PhillipMoita]

Hi. Can you make a video explaining how to sharpen a convex knife with tormek? Thank you

[@explorerextraordinaire5472]

you still have this knife Pete? How's it holdin'up ey?

[@areee999]

I think the tools used in this video to sharpen this knife was a bit overkill. But no hate, you have a great knife channel.

[@opichocal]

Your music choice sounds like it came from a 1980s donkey Kong video game. I can picture the big monkey destroying everything with this music

[@God8-O]

O' no now he's a serial killer!!! :-O

[@BlackRifleSurvival]

Did I hear you say the ESEE cleaver is incoming? 👍👍👍 hell yeah!

[@CHAD-RYAN]

You can make all kinds of knices from this. And make things out of it.

[@fredmaner6551]

Have you tried your hand at sharpening on the tormek free hand yet?

[@chewbacca6168]

Thanks for the video. Wish I could find it for only $20, the cheapest I can find is $40 before postage

[@brianonthego]

Wicked cleaver.

[@gazay7777]

That's probably the sharpest Old Hickory cleaver there is or ever will be/has been.

[@danielrobinson7872]

People keep talking about the Diablo music, but nobody shows love for the Black Mage Village theme. :(

[@martyoutdoors6172]

I did get a Master kitchen knife for one dollar witch splitted wood like hell!!

[@dougbulldog9947]

I would like to mod the clever into a oversized roach belly shape

[@RoyMach1ne]

Diablo 2 music? Count me in!

[@BodomFox]

Oh no, Diablo music. Now I have to do another walkthrough...

[@ozyrob1]

very hard to beat

[@jackfarmboy]

20 bucks... Wow good deal. Probably a little cheaper in Us dollars. Interesting find.

[@TheKillerKlok]

Shame a knife like this is screaming Convex edge to me... but we all deal with our own brands of insanity I guess.

[@garethbaus5471]

Every knife screams convex to me, i just change the angle based on the knife and its intended use.

[@subroc4]

So pretty soon you're gonna be dual wielding cleavers like a true psycho. I'll be keeping an eye out for you on the news :)

[@robroberts1473]

ok have to do it he's got a knife! ha...........now thats a knife well a cleaver.

[@lidji08]

what is the brand of sharpener?

[@CedricAda]

+BorisGrayman Tormek - the T4 model

[@عطانحكمي]

good

[@MrSATism]

That initial edge was VERY cringeworthy

[@frederickj.7136]

Point of curiosity: How many dudettes do you reckon you're attracting to the channel these days (early 2018, as I write)? Do you have a breakdown in your metric for 'with beard' and 'minus beard-y growth'? Ha, ha, with a little work on that "I'm too sexy for my shirt" thing, you wielding a big cleaver might bring to mind for some of the ladies the scene in 'Picnic' where William Holden takes off his shirt to chop wood from the backyard wood pile, and Kim Novak looks on with, uh, "interest" from her bedroom window. So then, less Gallagher and more Holden, maybe? The word is "marketing", Pete!

[@CedricAda]

my analytics show its definitely a sausage fest

[@frederickj.7136]

Ditto, in my limited experience with nude beaches here in America, as well (hopeful expectations definitely dashed). That was some time ago now, alas. But similarly, as an audiophile sort since pouring through Heathkit, Allied Radio, and Lafayette catalogs in the tender years of my youth (and more than half a century having passed), there still seem to be very, very few female gearheads in that circle, even so many years since "home ec" was de rigueur for the girls. Which I always found puzzling and a little disconcerting, at least to the degree it's so, given that women like music, too, right? Systems that "respect the music", as I like to put it, don't assemble themselves; nor does the knowledge needed to achieve elusive synergy among the bits, if your standards are high enough. Unfortunately, the literature in the social sciences keeps showing this "boys' thing" and "girls' thing" business typically takes hold well before first grade. It's deep stuff... part of our species' evolutionary and cultural legacy of hundreds of irrational biases.

[@joeyoung1498]

Ball powder commercial, LMFAO.

[@Yes-hf6cw]

It's 8x more expensive in my country. Why? I have no idea. Oh wait it's in australian dollars? 10x the price then.

[@fredde90210]

Wish I had some Slo-Mo so this vid lasted longer

[@wtfmrb293]

One day maybe you will be able to sharpen the knifes without the guide line u r using.

[@jonseeman5723]

You people are crazy! That music is soooo! Annoying........!!! I love the cleaver though.

[@Anson120]

"Nor worries" more like "No burries". Get it Burr-ies get it? I hear crickets chirping.

[@OnlyLancia]

Een mooi mes

[@cosmikvratch]

DIablo music!!! I feel like a teenager again! :) I have 2 ontario old hickory knives, and they are particularly good value for money, if you don't mind spending 30 minutes taking care of the edge and the sharp angles of the handle. thank for the video!

[@highonimmi]

no kill garbaaaad!

[@paladin252]

That diablo music is so good. And instantly I’m in college.

[@dr.g7980]

Sweet Diablo music, it totally brought me back to "The Butcher".

[@christianwilliams4795]

O no he abused the knife! Just joking. It was nice to see the premium sharpening gear in use. I WAS expecting a little more review though. Do you know how thick the spine is and how long the knife is and how much it weighs?

[@CedricAda]

+Christian Williams I'll do a full review once I use it a bit more in the kitchen and maybe even ourdoors in comparison with this esee cleaver ive got here now. Spine is 3mm, I think!

[@christianwilliams4795]

Cool! I look forward to it. Tangent. It's difficult to remember to hit like on every video.

[@Imightberiding]

Hey you crazy knife guy! I say that, because like you, I also own far too many sharp edged tools (ie: axes & knives) that most likely any psychologist would say was unhealthy. I enjoyed this video. Perhaps you have made others where you show your sharpening skills/process on your Tormek. This is the first one I have seen. I think it would be a welcome endeavour to upload more videos of this sort. Few if any of the other "knife guys" on KZbin own a Tormek let alone even know what one is or how to use it. Proper sharpening is a vital part of knife ownership unless of course you just collect & never use the tools that you purchase other than table top reviews & the ubiquitous & nonsensical paper cutting test. Carry on with the good work mate. Cheers from Canada.

[@CedricAda]

+Imightberiding thanks man! Yeah I reckon I'll do a couple more tormek vids for sure

[@matthewjackson9615]

It's hard to beat 1095 steel. Cheap, reliable, durable and sharp. Sure it rusts but a light coating of oil will prevent this.

[@Pew7070]

Hard to beat this cheap cleaver is. Sissel rope test planned on this blade?

[@_Korinzu]

FF9 music?

[@angryguineapig4323]

Ow diablo tune brings back so many memories awesome.

[@highonimmi]

this confirms my darkest fears....diablo has escaped!!!!

[@BradGryphonn]

Nearly four years on and they're retailing for over 50 Australian dollars. Bugger.

[@azlowslow-bbqandbeverages1828]

And now, I want to play Diablo. With that said, 100% amazing video, thank you.

[@spundj]

diablo 1 ?

[@krisvq]

Cleaver are an insane bushcraft tool. I don't get what the trepidation is. It's a bushcraft powertool if you have one that retains the edge well.

[@zensempai7371]

" stay a while and listen "

[@KeLiReBeLi]

Aren’t you supposed to test it on a chicken or bones?

[@torpilo]

Some Diablo II music..Nice.

[@timeonecop]

Tomato 🍅

[@BradGryphonn]

I have seen a preview via Black Anchor of the Esee. If the steel is decent, I'd guardedly suggest that a cleaver could be a great all-rounder in a camp situation. The tang size might be an issue for serial batonners though methinks.

[@daviddavid5880]

I am a fan of these dirt cheap Ontario "Old Hickory" work knives. There is a lot of bang per buck there. The 8in chef is a star player in my kitchen. I think it was 15bucks.

[@smoothslide]

Everybody talking about the Diablo music. FFIX completely forgotten...

[@fukemnukem1525]

That 80s jam....made all the difference.... LoL. Love it.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

Why not work sharp it?

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

Seems like a 20$ El Chette

[@yo.mama100]

is that Crash Bandicoot music in the background?

[@embeaston]

Off topic - do you watch Ckeverman?

[@jdmDC2ftw]

Do these come in a bigger heavy version?

[@49giants3]

You made it nice and choppy

where's the rope test?

Where'd you find it for $20?
