I now have four Joker knives; the Camparo, Nesmuk. Lynx and now the 5" Nomad. I am very impressed with the blades quality, sharpness, and price. Few if any can come close to the durability, fit & finish and value of their knives and I have an extensive collection of good manufacturers blades as well as custom hand made blades by master knife makerd.

Hello Lads!!,...It's been a while. Have to say I'm a big Fan of Joker Knives and the way they heat treat and sharpen their blades. I've had a Joker Nomad with the Bohler 695 steel blade for a few years now and it has never failed to do a task I have asked of it. I'm not an abuser of my knives but I do ask them to do the jobs they claim to do. For instance long before we even spoke about the make up of steels for knives we had Stainless and High Carbon Steel or a combination of the two. I have owned a Grohmann Military handled #3 since I was in my early 20's (I'm now 55yrs old) and it has done it's job many times with no complaints. It's job is to break down and skin large game that we have shot for meat. I'll have to look for this larger version of the Nomad, seeing as it worked so admirably for you two. Cheers from Canada, DBK Lads!! Mikkie, do The Wodan Boys have any albums out? I'm an old Punk Rocker from the late 70's and early 80's from about age 13 on and I find myself really enjoying your sound!! I'd love to pick up a CD or an Album of your songs!! - Dave

[@chiefbrownfart]

I really appreciate this video, I've had mine for just over a month now and I absolutely love it. I've had 2 gas station specials for over 10 years, but I broke both of them within the span of a week after I started getting into bushcraft and actually using them. Both broke while I was batoning, one lasted roughly 50 hits or so and the 2nd broke the very first time I struck it. So I spent a few hours watching videos and reviews of different knives, but as soon as I watched this video I instantly knew that the nomad was going to be my first "real" bushcraft knife. I've been carrying it on my belt a few days a week while I'm out in the woods. I've honestly been beating the living crap out of it as well and so far it seems to be built like a tank, at least for the tasks and amount of use I need it for. Not to mention I absolutely love the leather sheath it comes with, definitely seems to be really well made and the retention/fitment is just right. I paid $107 including shipping for the knife and I definitely feel like it was well worth that amount, especially with the sheath included. Thanks again!

[@Xandrosi]

I've consistently enjoyed your evaluations. Your videos are entertaining and, more importantly, you explain how you define quality. New subscriber. As I understand it and based on your videos, you seem to generally assess knives based on 1) fitness for purpose, 2) knife blade geometry, 3) heat treatment, 4) ergonomics, 5) steel type and 6) cost. An EDC tactical knife is different from a combat knife, which is different from a skinner, which is different from an outdoor/camping knife, which is different from a survival knife. You seem to gravitate to outdoor/camping knives as opposed to the larger survival knives (my interpretation). Regardless, I enjoy learning from you two. :)

[@bartweijs]

[@Dynotop1a]

I’ve started a fire with a red plastic cup, some pine needles, and some ashes in a fire pit. Basically, I stuffed the cup with needles and rubbed the cup into the ashes of the fire pit to create friction (like you’re scooping the ashes into the cup over and over). I remember that it caught fire surprisingly fast. I only did it once when I was bored a long time ago. I don’t think the ashes can be too old for this to work. Might have just been a fluke, honestly, because I was just a little kid playing with fire.

I was really interested in the Nomad. I almost bought it but instead, I went with the Joker Ember with micarta and scandi grind. I unfortunately have a budget to live by. After seeing this video, I feel like I should have blown my budget. Haha! Maarten, Mikkie, thank you for not shooting and destroying this knife. You have spared me from another heart ache this week.😅😅😅😅

[@scottlanghorst1483]

I was hoping they wouldn't shoot it, to.😮

[@JustinCase-em6ql]

I have both knives. There is no loss settling for the Ember, except for a shorter blade. The Ember can pretty much do anything the larger Nomad can, and the 14c28n steel is tougher than n695. The Ember is easier to sharpen, too. The Ember is better in the bush/woodcraft department, the Joker better in the hunting, skinning, food prep department.

[@alainbelso]

@@JustinCase-em6ql Cool! The only thing I don't like about the Ember is that I find the scandi grind angle too steep. I would have preferred the grind would have started 1/2 way along the edge as opposed to 1/4. It would have been just as strong but a little bit more slicy. I could have reground it but I decided to keep the factory grind and be able to compare it to other knives.

I thought the Joker Nomad 6.5 would be a good knife. It ticked many of the boxes I had for an outdoors jack of all trades knife (My only complaint is that I think the steel could have been better but it is a good enough stainless steel). As I look at my own Joker Nomad 6.5, this is validation.

[@denisdegamon8224]

The heat treatment makes that N695 work so well. It holds that edge remarkably well due to that heat treatment and good convex edge.

I love my Joker Nomad 6.5. My only complaint is the steel. I wish Joker had used Sandvik 14C28N for the Nomads like they use for most of their other knives. That would be a much better steel for a larger knife like the Nomad. Bohler N695 is just glorified 440C.
