If you like "handfilling" knives you could try Opinel (folding knives in several sizes, very popular is No. 8, No. 9 is already a bit substantial, Carbon and 12C27 Sandvik Steel) or Mora Classic (fixed knives, the classic series has wooden handles). Both types are really good value and esp. Opinels invite you to do some modding :)

This is why I prefer softer steel. I do not have an hour or more to sharpen a knife. Softer steel knives are usually cheaper in cost also…you may need to sharpen more often but it takes a lot less time and equipment…
@ericasedcАй бұрын
Soft knives generally take longer than hard knives. Just depends on the equipment though! Cheers J- thanks for watching!!!

I have two ESEE Izulas in S35VN with the long micarta scales. They are quality knives. I do not, however, have mirror polished edges on any of my knives. I typically like toothy edges. To each, their own. Enjoyable video and discourse.

Hi Erica. I have been watching you for a while, and really appreciate you and your straightforward and honest style. Keep it up! As for Esee, I have several and have no serious issues with them, or the 1095. Though, I agree the handles kind of suck, so I usually upgrade mine. That said, do you have any non-custom brand and/or steel recommendations for a similar style knife that would primarily be used for outdoors tasks (wood processing, camp chores, etc.) and capable of harder uses? Corrosion resistance and easy of sharpening aren't priorities for me, as I generally maintain my knives pretty regularly and enjoy doing it. Toughness is important, and also to a lesser degree, light-ish in overall weight. I do a lot of backpacking, hiking, camping, and firemaking. Again, I really enjoy you and your content. Keep it up! Love from Minnesota! ✌🏼

@@Snodgrass.Elkheart hey there!!! So happy to see you enjoying the content! I don’t currently have any no n- custom options to recommend. I have not really found any LT Wright, ESEE, MKC, etc (typical production companies), to produce what I enjoy. I have a number of IMO lower cost custom outdoors knives. They perform WAY better than anything production I have ever used. I will keep my eyes peeled for you though! Cheers!

Great vid. I’ve been watching your work since you had really long dreadlocks and have enjoyed your progression…kind of like going from 100 grit rough gradually to 10,000 smooth & polished. Question: is there a reason you use such stiff paper (almost card stock) for your sharpness test instead of printer paper, magazine, catalog or phone book paper? Keep up the good work…yours is about always the first youtube I watch every day.

Dude that Izula edge looks amazing!!! It's really too bad that you can't figure out how to put those scales on correctly!! I'm sure that Nickie will provide you with some tips about how to put them on the right way, like her black scales!!! Watching you sharpen knives is soooooo damn relaxing, Erica!!!
