Great review of the Joker line of knives. The Ember was the one that really caught my eye. I think I would prefer micarta handles though. They seem to be more durable than wood and more comfortable than G-10. Keep up the good work.

That was a well thought out and informative review, I appreciated the candid opinions, both positive and constructive. I have a couple Joker knives and will be picking up a Campero today. My experience with the 14C28M has been outstanding, it holds a great edge and is easy enough to keep that way. I am not as familiar with the 695 steel on the Nomad, but the knife intrigues me. I look forward to your long term thoughts.

14c28n is a favorite of mine for budget steels and n695 is very similar. In the field you won't notice a difference. People get snobby fast on steel when the design of the knife is usually more important. I do notice a difference between these steels and 8cr13mov/AUS8. But again it just means a little more sharpening and usually isn't a big deal. ✌️
@greekveteran2715
@greekveteran2715 2 жыл бұрын
N695 stainless steel holds it's edge way longer than 14c28n, however it's nowhere near as tough as 14c28n is! On the downside, N695 takes longer to sharpen and it's edge can chip way easier, than the edge on the 14c28n, (which will probably never chip because it's softer and a lot tougher!) If you got the scandi edge version, then you'r lucky it comes with that steel on it. There are not to many steels, that can work with a scandi edge because scandi edges are very fragile (easy to take damage even with normal use, their edges take chips or rolls) Sandvik steels, like yours, 12c27, AEB-L and ballbearing steel like 52100, are some of the best, if not THE best steels for a scnadi edge knife. Enjoy!!

The Ember F in full flat grind is their best knife. Next is the Nomad (more edge retention, however edge may take small chips) Ember in full lfat grind, may not have the longest edge retention, however it's still very decent on that department and doesn't lack anything else! In Europe. at that price range, only Manly knives, make better blades, but their handles are thiner, which is better for food prep and general utility, but bad for working on wood.

my personal favorite is the campero with the nomad close behind, for very different reasons. There isn't a wrong choice, just whether you want a beefy harder use knife or a more elegant camp knife. If I was lost in the woods I would want the nomad for example, it is also better at wood processing, batoning, light chopping etc. But if you have an axe, the axe is better at that stuff so the campero becomes a better choice. Apples and oranges my friend

not really, the joker nordico is probably the closest. imo 4mm is a little bit thick for a normal scandi grind, even the jokers at 3.7mm perform better with a higher grind. I reground the nordico to a higher scandi and the performance difference is noticeable for carving tasks. 2-3mm for a scandi is optimal, 3.5mm is my limit. Cheers good luck!

Nordico is very mice I think but I like smaller finger guard. Or no fingerguard. And no ricasso similar Trampero, surely feel more nordic. But I would like bigger palm swell. Btw, my finest knifes I own are made in Spain.

So, I’m thinking the Nomad and Ember or Nomad and Nesmuk will be all I need after the Lionsteel T5??? Yeah, I’m late to the party and I have had some knives in the past, but I’m really just starting this knife life adventure and I started with folding knives, Manix 2XL, Gail Bradley 2, para 2, super freak, blue and grey Griptillian, 940-2, bugout, Contego, Blur… and a couple of others thrown in for fun!!! But I’m just looking at the fixed blade selection and it’s huge and super exciting to start!!! I’ve had my Buck 119 and other starter knives like that since a kid, but I was astonished to see how many are now available and the quality for dollars… compared to folders, I think it’s ridiculous the prices they’re charging for some folders, price gouging. B😢hey, market reflects what people are willing to pay… they, the makers know it’s a bull market for them now with so many people entering the hobby. Anyway, Thanx for sharing… I just noticed the Nomad the other day when I did a fixed blade knife search on eBay. Nice knife compared with Kabar Beckers cuz you don’t need to buy aftermarket Micarta scales. Lionsteel T5, Joker Nomad & Ember or Nomad & Nesmuck, and I’m also thinking Esee 5 & 6 The 5 for the beast it is and the 6 for the flat grind all around…

@@TheDaveDryden Jokers are way better than Condors, both in materials, fit and finish and overall quality. Condor is super budget level, worse than 10$ Moras. Jokers are better than Moras, close to middle of the road knives with great if not perfect fit and finish for their prices. (Most Spanish knives, like Nieto, Joker and Muela, all come with absolutely crazy fit and finish, plus perfect heat treatments on their steels, only downside, is the fact they only use low grade steels) A bit underated knives, Joker desings are more clever, and they use a bit better steels than the rest Spanish makers too, which made the Spanish knives quality. more familiar all over the world the later years!

Its frustrating as I really like the knifes 😊 Have a nice day, Anders I have 6 knives from joker,

I ended up regrinding the nordico to a higher scandi grind and it performs even better now, for me the 4mm thick scandi is a touch obtuse for woodcraft. thanks for watching!

It's amazing how many companies keep coming out with Nessmuk knives aimed at Bushcraft. Nessmuk is a skinner and game processing knife, that's the entire point of the shape. That's why he had his Nessmuk Trio. But since Bushcraft is all the rage, mostly with people who don't know WTF they're doing, they get sold stupid creations like scandi and saber Nessmuk style knives because "they look cool".

@@Hadrada. No, I consider it 100% useless. Scandi isn't necessary to begin with if you have skill. A scandi has 1 use - wood work. It's crap at every other task. So what use could you possible come up with for taking a Nessmuk blade meant specifically for skinning game and putting a wood working grind on it? Wood work and skinning couldn't be more polar opposite uses. Scandi is meant to bite into the wood, which is what you don't want when skinning, especially if you want to brain tan your hide. If you only know Nessmuk as a blade shape, then you seriously need to look up George W. Sears, aka Nessmuk, and read about him and/or his writings (Woodcraft and Camping, at least)

I have a Joker Bowie 25 and a Puma catcher both are made in Spain ,. The Big difference is the price. I can get three Jokers for the price of one Puma, I collect and use good knives..

Problem with the bone handle is if you drop it on a hard surface as a rock or cement.....it can Crack or get damaged.....and you end up with a useless knife.....something that will not happen with wood or micarta.

That Nordico red leather sheath looks amazing. I wonder if I can fit any other knives in it. I just got my Campero today. Super comfortable in hand, and a keen edge. I love their ferro rods with the handles matching the knives. The fit and finish i flawless and the prices are unbeatable. The Nomad has been out of stock for months, I am still waiting for it. The Lynx is also a good choice. They are also going to release a new Nomad with longer blade.

You can buy 3 Joker knives for the price of most high end knives. I'm blown away by their quality control, their handles are so nice 👌. I really like the Ember scandi with curly birch handles, that and the Nordic are beautiful blades.

I often use a lighter in recent videos, I recommend having both. Ferro rods are very hard to break and 100% waterproof. They also "look cool" and are more "bushcrafty" lol. Lighters are the better tool overall for firemaking though.

Hello my name is _________, and I'm from "UTube channel name". I'm here to talk about a brand of sporting knives, one in particular called "Joker". The "Joker" brand of knives is a world renowned Spanish company that makes traditional handcrafted sporting knives. These knives have a full stainless steel Tang with micarta handle. Some of the handles are equipped with a lanyard hole and or lanyard. Lanyard could be placed around your wrist in case you slip you don't lose your knife somewhere down a mountainside. You could also find many uses for that lanyard. Some of the knives have different kinds of notches which actually have a function. For example some notches have a gut hook when you're cleaning your prey. Some of these notches are a dual rest for your forefinger and a designated stopping point for the sharp edge. One side is called a finger choil any other are sharpening choil. Yeah I think it's best that when you do a review you understand the Dynamics of knives. It's not how they look cool it's their function, how they're made, and their purpose. It's also nice that you let someone know what it's made out of the length of the blade, how much it weighs whether it's full Tang or not. Instead of pounding on these like a caveman.
