It's a very well designed high quality sheath. I love the horizontal option. The fire steel should be mounted on the edge though. Not like a wart catching every grass/branch/bush on the front. Great traditional 🔪 knife blade design.

@lancashiteman2 жыл бұрын
yes it does. the reason knives need sharpening is cas material is removed from both parties when you cut something. even it it removes way less it still roles the edge completely removing its sharpness. god it makes me cringe when people do it

K720 is the same as O2, which is similar to O1. It's a well proven low alloy steel with good toughness and decent edge retention. It sharpens fairly easily as well.

I picked up the TBS Grizzly w curly birch but I don’t know if I’m as pleased as I thought I’d be w the BLO.. the birch just hasn’t responded as id hoped. I know you did the same w your TBS [Boar] But you went w the Turkish Walnut - it darkened as you hoped and seems richer if that makes any sense. My goal is to lengthen the life while enriching overall... but I’m not feelin /seein it guys. I have my 2nd TBS coming; the Lynx. I went w the Olive wood this time. I met a TH on the AT w Olive and loved it - and need to nail down this wood care Mike - a few others mentioned wax... ?!? All suggestions, opinions, experiences are encouraged and will be appreciated-

well i may have got my research a bit mixed up mate, (by the way i had already decided to buy this exact knife, but with the dc4 sharpening stone holder included) but i think you may have mis explained a little, the high carbon tool steel is HARDER to sharpen as its a harder steel NOT EASIER, that being said, once sharpened properly, will hold its edge a lot longer before dulling.... which is why i chose it, it will take more effort to sharpen, but will be less likely to have to do so in the field... good video though buddy, am glad i chose that setup now..., good idea with the linseed oil, might have to copy you on that... ;)
@TAOutdoors9 жыл бұрын
+Kieran Kinnear Hi Kieran, I actually think it's down the particular material of the knife itself. It can be very subjective, but with a scandi grind the knife is far easier to sharpen anyway. It's actually very easy to sharpen, and much easier than many of the stainless steel knives out there. It all depends on the carbon content of the blade as well as the other chemicals that make it up. As for the knife itself, it really is AWESOME! I love it, and using the linseed oil has made the finish on it fantastic as the scales on it were quite dry when I first received it. If you're going to use linseed oil, be aware that cloths may spontaneously combust ;) - Mike
@jamesritchie68999 жыл бұрын
+Kieran Kinnear Even high carbon tool steel is still easy t sharpen. Hardness really isn't the determining factor. Abrasive resistance is, and even extremely hard steels are often have very little abrasive resistance.
@LionheartSJZ9 жыл бұрын
+Kieran Kinnear In my personal experience high carbon steel is usually easier to sharpen than stainless ones, due to the different elements in stainless steel (chrome, vanadium, etc.). A lot of how easy a knife is to sharpen and how good it holds an edge is up to the hardening process too. So give the same steel to two different smiths and depending on the individual hardening process and skill you will get two completely different knives.

Buy yourself the stainless one :o sounds weird but it has a higher carbon content then the high carbon one .. i know weird right ? But check it out on their website !! I've been talking to TBS because i was having doubts between the 2 versions. They told me that both are great steels but that the N695 stainless is easier to sharpen and is more rust resistance. The N695 has a 5mm thick blade and the K720 (O2) has a 4mm. That was the only difference they could give. Because of that i ordered a N695 one now :D

Indeed they are. But the law is common sense really. Don't carry the blade around openly in a public area, and you must have a reasonable use for it. i.e - a filleting knife for fishing etc.
@davidharvey56729 жыл бұрын
+TA Outdoors Yes it is but when you're away from the area of use put it away out of reach don't just throw it on your car seat. Don't forget you have it and go somewhere for a cuppa with it on your belt or in your pocket. I would urge anyone to ask at the local police station. What one person sees as reasonable need the law may not. For example if you have a knife in the woods it may seem reasonable enough but why do you actually "need" it? what are you going to cut ? why can't you manage without it? and what if someone says you waved it at them. There is a 2 year prison sentence. One of the guys on the vans got in hot water because he went for a cup of tea in a cafe with his stanley knife on his belt. All I'm saying is ask for yourself and be aware.
@TAOutdoors9 жыл бұрын
+David Harvey you are very right there David. I agree, the need to research the matter is important as it needs to be clear what the purpose is that you are using the knife for. It is actually maximum of a 4 year prison sentence I believe. But I believe bushcraft to be a lawful activity and I feel I have perfectly good reason to be using the knife. I'm also on private land. Again, it does come down to some common sense. However, this video is not a video designed for knife law, it is merely a knife review. There is plenty of information out there regarding knife law, it's up to people to do the research and make themselves aware of the legislation
