Bark river Aurora lt, scandi and original test!

[@dekkes1]

Nice Jelio Puukko too! Mine should arrive in 3-4 months! I'm a big fan of the Aurora, got 2 of those (1 full sized one in 3V, and a mini), and I spend a lot of time in the Swedish forests, I would not leave without them. Good video

I have that scandi it digs right in for feathers . Great knives the Aurora knifes all of them.

I just got the elmax Aurora lt. Thanks for sharing

[@shane4176]

Awesome!! You are welcome thanks for watching, and enjoy your awesome knife!

[@49giants3]

Rice Creek bushcraft I think this is the dullest bark River I’ve got so far. Kinda disappointed

[@robsteel4407]

@@49giants3 I think, the Elmax is one of the best steel. 👍🏻

[@brandon152lee]

What was the non bark river knife? These are all excellent knives but dang she was a beauty especially with that true scandi grind.

[@shane4176]

It was a Jelio. I can't remember exactly but it's made by a guy in Europe somewhere. It was a great knife though.

Thank you for the test!

Wilhelm Smith you are very welcome my friend thanks for watching!

[@rammsteinsiegfried6750]

Aurora LT ist my best knife i ever had.

[@jayp.2313]

The scandi is one of my favorite knives

[@realmetis8002]

i like this knife just have concerns about the tip seems weak. it you worry me while batoning how are they so far should i pull the trigger lol

[@shane4176]

real metis they are great and under most circumstances they will be just fine. I would get one if I were you

[@keggerous]

I wouldn't worry about the thinner tip when it comes to 3v. Apparently 3v is like 400% tougher than 1095 carbon steel. I can't see it snapping at the tip that easily.

[@thewildonions]

Great review!

[@shane4176]

the wild onions thank you

[@ДенПавлоградский]

I apologize, I don't understand English well, tell me which is the best knife from these three models, in the video, how is the best for me scandi and the standard?))

[@johnshorba]

Seems like the lt and the normal version are very similar spine thickness.... also the scandi is only in the thicker version. I want the LT for the weight and slicing, but i like the scandi vex for cutting and sharpening but i like the convex for strength. Does the scandi cut better than the LT even though its thicker?

[@shane4176]

In generalized cutting no. In use for wood only id say the scandi was a little better

[@sarmat78]

cool

Deep inside all aurora lovers are operators. Cheers 🍻🔪

[@brawldawg8729]

I've never seen an original Aurora struggle with feathers. Clearly it was your change to the geometry that ruined its ability to feather.

[@Airik1111bibles]

Maybe but most likely just skill level . Dave Canterbury said it best in his Opinion on Knives video... "A skilled user can make a cheap crappy knife look awesome, and an unskilled user can make a great knife look bad". I use my knives daily about an hour + carving and whittling sometimes more if I'm building blades. That said I can instantly see if a person has lots of carve time under their belt. That don't mean he ain't skilled in the woods or at outdoor living esp hunting. Feather sticks proves nothing on that aspect BUT...Design wise a good dialed in edge will feather like a hot knife through butter. In the right hands of course 😁

[@wadejensen3301]

What you are calling a Scandi is most definitely a sabre grind!

[@arshanmostafavi9621]

Wade Jensen for sure , it's a sabre-vex .

[@hamedizzy5137]

Sabre grinds have secondary edges a Scandi is one continuous bevel. So you can’t call that a low sabre.

[@ashperson2134]

Can someone show me where to buy and Aurora cpm3v in stock I can only find lots and a2 steels. Did they stop making Aurora cpm3v

[@ashperson2134]

smokestick 1 they're not in stock

[@00_Buckshot]

Ash Person they have the LT model that’s what I would get. I think a new batch of regular 3V is coming soon.

[@convex7456]

A real scandi has a 0 convex for the grind. But the modern stuff. Mainly started by mora and a scadi wher the grind is a zero flat

[@americanpatriot3667]

convex bark river doesn’t make any true scandi grinds seems like a scandivex

[@jasonburns956]

Traditional scandi grinds always had some convexing
