Bought my Aitor el montero 30 years ago and even after chopping for years the handle is still as tight as the day I got it, holds a good edge and i still love it :-) A Great video for a great knife.

Hi that's great to hear! Yes I also wanted one 30 odd years ago but of course only got one recently. I certainly can't see why it won't be getting passed on (intact) to the son LOL! Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching!

I've been leaning towards the Strider MFS or MSS, but after watching you use this knife alot in your recent videos, I've decided on the Aitor Oso. It looks like it handles very well for a variety of tasks. Its big enough for some rough work, yet small enough for delicate work. I like the drop point, it will be excellent for skinnng and butchering deer-sized game. I also like that the saw back is actually functional on wood. It looks like it would have the most multi-purpose functionality I could find in a medium-large belt knife. Now I just have to decide whether I want the wood handle or the synthetic handle. The wood handle is beautiful, but I'll probably end up wrapping it in paracord so I might be better off going with the synthetic handle.

yeah I think they make a version with that synthetic Stamina wood now and of course there is the nylon version to. I think it's a versatile knife and you're right there is enough good belly for skinning and u saw cutting up just the ribs no trouble. Some apparently use the saw for cutting through bone too but that I never tried. One thing I also used it for but didn't film as I had my hands full was when I was trying to negotiate out through some thick branches all over the place on a fallen tree into a river to do some fishing. i just pulled out the knife and made enough of a cut to help bust the branches off so i could get out on this tree. Now i could have taken a small saw but then i'd have the saw and the knife and the rode etc etc you get my point. And having the knife on me for fishing was better than taking the saw out with me. The knife too is very easily field sharpened too, ie v smooth river stones, or ceramic tile. But good quality whet stones cut it too as it's supposedly HRC58 and I find this a good compromise. Thanks for watching as usual.

If u got yours in the 80's then it was def made by the company before they got taken over. Check to see if the serial number begins with an "A" Thanks for watching!

@@bobbieschke599 Hi there, there are several videos showing how tough it is, they are in Spanish language but it is easy to see what's going on. I used to think that a pinned handle could not be strong then re though things when I think about the punishment I had put a long handled shovel where the metal blade was pinned to the wooden shaft that belonged to my dad and still does, the number of holes it has dug busted out rocks where we should have used something else and that handle has never come lose or busted and it is just a hardwood shaft. I think of the many machine parts that use pins or similar too that we may rely upon on a daily basis. I'm sure if the army of theirs can use this it must have passed some sort of tests to make the grade. I do know that the famous Jungle king, the model with the stainless steel handle, it has been investment cast and if done properly it will be very strong indeed. I've never seen a YT fail of the handle, on one blade that broke and there used to be a video of a guy who stood (he was a big guy too) on the handle when he placed the blade into a some sort of slot in a wall I think.

Hi Chris! Great video Man! I just bought The Aitor OSO NEGRO Knife. Just like The BLANKO except it's all black. Very Nice Knife. I Love it! Sawback is Great! Strong Knife! Some Sawbacks work and some don't. Aitors Work Well. I have the Fox brand combat Sawback Survival Knife ad I know You also have. Great Knife also. Sawback works well on dry wood especially but is one directional pull and wood particals do not exit as well on greener wood as the Aitor saw does. I take an old stiff bristled tooth brush with me when I'm out in the field. Run it across the sawtooth a few seconds on that knife. Works great! Anyway Awesome Video on The Aitor Knife! People should Not knock All Sawback Knives! Some Work Very Well If The Sawback is Designed Properly as The Aitor Is. Anything Thanks Again for Another Great Video! Definitely Learn Alot! Take Care.

Every Oso Blanco or Oso Negro I have seen had a knurled polymer grip and came with the polymer sheath such as my vintage Cuchillo de Monte. My 30+ year old polymer handle is still rock-solid. I am not impressed with the wood handle. The polymer handle has a sure grip even when covered with blood and fat. They sawback works great splitting an elk pelvis as well. I carry a pencil file to touch up the curved blade.

Hi thanks for watching. That's great news on such longevity of the polymer grip. I wanted one too with a polymer handle but the shop only had the olive wood one and the much larger versions with polymer grips. You might have seen my blog, I ended up filling the inside space of this grip with my own "homemade micarta" LOL and it still serves me well but I might be dead after the next 30 years so I won't be able to report back on how it fared after such a long time LOL. But seriously, thanks for sharing that!

Bush Camping Tools haha. Live long and prosper! I actually carry my Aitor Cuchillo de Monte upside down in the polymer sheath on a military H-Harness. It has never come out. And that includes busting through brush crawling on hands and knees out of a nasty-ass canyon. Haha. Amazing product. Mine is the same as the modern Oso Negro except I hear that the new Aitor like yours have an even better saw. I have used my Aitor to skin fish, rattle snake, deer, elk and more. I refrain from wood chopping or splitting wood but it will do it, especially with the baton method. If the wood handle gets too slick, you could hand carve or file some checkered patterns into it. I'm going to roughen-up my Condor Golok Machete hardwood handle. It is just too slick with sweaty hands. I do like the shape of the grip on your knife. It is like mine. Totally comfortable. Do buy a fine grade, round pencil file. You are going to need it. The round file is the best to touch up the curved blade. I don't really "file" it as much as I re-shape the edge. I would NOT sharpen the back tip of the blade. It's just too dangerous unless you're killing terrorists. That shit's for Rambo. Lol. Enjoy your new blade. This is one you can pass on after you are gone....

Hi it's so refreshing to see informed comments about these knives from people who actually use and have used them extensively and know how to get the most from them. Yeah I have a fine round diamond file for that very purpose and was thinking also of getting a round ceramic rod but I figured I might break it when out and about but the diamond file,being metal gets knocked about a bit but can quick keep it sharp.

excellent review my friend, now would you trust this given that it's not full width tang and the saw teeth are stress concentrators and a potential point of failure as a one tool option?
@BushCampingTools
@BushCampingTools 8 жыл бұрын
Hi thanks for your comments! As I've had this knife for a relatively short time it may be difficult to say but I will say my >20 year old Ontario Spec plus (1095 BTW), also sporting a similar tang, has been to hell and back so many times i could fill a YT channel with films about it and it has never let me down and i trust my life and have done with this knife. NOW that I've filled the inside of the Oso Blanco with my "homemade micarta" I think after really bashing this knife (you guys have just seen a fraction of activity this blade has done) that I'm confident of the tang/handle strength. I've been on uninhabited islands without support and just a machete and two small folders! so have some idea of what you need to depend on. That being said I think it's important never to be caught out with a "one tool" option. This you can do of course for a "Planned trip/Expedition etc" but of course other scenarios of the unexpected are many and could be discussed at length. As for the saw teeth weakening the blade, (as apposed to points of potential failure- they are different) my engineering friend told me there are many other variables to consider and without some kind of factual finite element analysis performed on a similar blade minus spine saw to compared forces under the same load-which could only really be done properly in a lab environment, I can't comment. The upper surface of each saw unit if you like has a relatively large radius as apposed to an acute angle which if present, I could see that maybe under certain circumstances crack propagation forming. Whilst having some metallurgy experience on a professional level, I'm NOT a metallurgist or an Engineer, so can't really comment to much here. That said, the FKMD Combat Survival knife sold to military forces also (one model) sports a saw back. I have this knife and usually it's EDC for 2/3 months of a year, and it gets really beaten on it's spine and so far after 3 years plus there is no evidence of a blade failure. My engineering friend also said stuff like fullers/blood grooves will definitely make the blade "not as strong" as a similar blade without those designs implemented. So Mick Strider was always going on about this for his large slabs of steel (at least when he started out) and he's of course correct ( even if one thinks they are just large slabs of steel). That brings me to the point of end use. I think one needs to understand very well the tools they use whether it be a rifle, knife or Bow etc and know their limitations (even for the supposed toughest of indestructible knives LOL!). Strength can be a trade off for functionality and comfort (with some considerations of aesthetics :)) As to other points of failure. I did consider the wooden handle itself, however, i've seen and used many a machete of vintage sporting wooden handles and despite being well worn; parts of the wood missing and sometimes splintered, they were all still firmly attached to the tang and more importantly safe to use. Sorry for the long reply however you do raise some points to consider of course.

@BushCampingTools
@BushCampingTools 3 жыл бұрын
yeah, I guess it would have been no big deal for them to do that but at the time when they started making them, this "full tang" thing was not in vogue and bandied about over the internet like it is today. I actually filled my handle with home made composite material (ok I ca no longer remove the handle but I don't care). I beaten the daylights out of this knife and to no ill effect. It's been used from everything from hunting and fishing to just stuff around camp and even gathering mushrooms (LOL which is really overkill) and I'm sure I'll be passing it on. At any rate, I think if whoever is running AITOR these days, if they only made a "full tang" version, it would be a good seller even with an increased overall weight gain. Thanks for watching! I'd love to visit Argentina one day!

Say Heah M8, Nice to see you again, That Astor OSO, Reminds me of my Russian Professional Survivor knife the NV1-01 actually it reads NB1-01 but the bm"B" is a "V" in Russian, It's also made in the Ischmas Plant where they make the AK. My survival knife is well made and yeah, for a Hollow handle I would and have put my life on it. The sheath completes an awesome survival kit, With tools, spear blades, and houses a compass that's very accurate, This is a quality kit, It also has a wire cutter that works in a professional level, the steel is a truck spring steel a 65G (G65) But the blade shape is a slight Re-Curve and reminds me of your OSO (heh heh heh) sounds funny. Again it was nice as usual. Thanx for sharing, But it's hard to by it in the U. S. A. Grrrrrrrr

Hi mate, yeah what impresses me is that I've been now working around a river for over a month actually, all the wood has sand in it as a consequence of being at some point washed down the river and cutting up the stuff, no chips! easy to sharpen with either touching the edge up with a ceramic tile or polished river stone (video coming V soon) Pity it's hard to get in the US. As you might have seen in my blog I filled the small space around the tang with home made micarta of sorts, rock solid now and I have no reason to think this knife will not be serving me 20 years from now LOL! I bet that Russian knife is built like a tank. In fact as you probably know I like Russian made knives, especially these modern ones. Once again thanks for watching!
