Loving the simplicity of these, thanks for the chat

[@davidkurle5418]

Handsome knife. I think it looks kind of rustic and fancy at the same time! Thanks, Tobias.

[@alexw1544]

I love how I always learn something new in every video you make. Thanks Tobias!

[@Checkmate1954]

That wood is amazing. Thank you for the video.

[@jimmyj4811]

Beautiful knives.

[@bionicbaer]

That ring release is nice, real interesting design.

[@ronniefoster5099]

Really nice grain in that olive wood. The ring release is also a really cool feature.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Thanks, Ronnie. It's a fun knife!

[@BigRedEDC]

Really like the grain in the olive wood!! Very good looking knives overall Tobias!!

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Thanks buddy!

[@KnifeDetector]

Nice Cudeman! I used to own a Cudeman, the quality was very good. Thanks for showing it :)

[@mangojack1]

Beautiful handles on them, I dig them! Thanks for the info 👍

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Tobias I’d love to pick more toothpicks up!!!!! When you get the cash then you have to decide what you want because there are so many options out there it’s very difficult to decide on the purchase!!!!!! It takes me forever to choose one wow unreal!!!! Thanks bud love the toothpick

[@bdh3949]

Wow, that olivewood really makes the whole knife stand out. Very cool powder horn design, sleek, sharp, and fills the hand.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Thanks. I really like this one.

[@astrazenica7783]

I love that powder horn handle shape, what I'd call a Corsican peasant knife. one of my favourite patterns and very comfortable in hand

[@mikehook2835]

Love the blade profile and the handles. Never seen this brand before, thanks for showing it to us.

[@triumphant39]

Fantastic spanish knife.

[@rickkerans8485]

Very interesting knives. The Acoppi has a unique rachet sound. The powder horn you showed early was a good looking knife.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Thanks!

[@mattadams1024]

Real interesting knife there

[@tomweingart2337]

First time I've seen a release ring on a knife!

[@tomyslaf9521]

Cold Steel Kudu as new version of Okapi knife...

[@slick_slicers]

I like these knives, and the Slipjoint would suit me well! Must try and find one. Should be easier from this side of the pond!

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

I would hope so. They are definitely in the economy class of knives but I really like the ones I’ve bought so far.

[@johnhannon8372]

And that would be my favorite wood handle knife is the number 8# Opinel OD Green

[@andrewnawarycz3026]

The handles are so comfortable that you want to pick them up and use the knife for pretty much everything. That's what I have found with my Spanish brass and bone lift lock navaja by Martinez, the best knife that was bought for me

[@practicalknifereviews1600]

Super nice looking! If only that had a carbon steel blade, I'd be in heaven!

[@chrisosh9574]

I like a lot of Cudeman's stuff, Joker and Nieto are good too, though Nieto are usually slightly higher end. Joker make a nice line of similar looking slip joints in olive wood that here are under €20, same steel, I use my Joker Iberica (3" blade 2 5/8" cutting edge) a lot, if I go to a barby with local Spaniards, everyone has pretty much the same knife. I really like your ring lock, I may have to go looking for one.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

The joker Jinx fixed blade is bad ass!!!!!

[@jgbullen]

As soon as the episode started I said Navaja. After all, it is made in Spain. I have a small but fancy one with red and green stripes expertly varnished over. Also a damascus blade.

[@forrestslrHankd]

Olive wood is a very nice handle material

[@EdAtoZ]

Tobias, I like the slip joint 304 size and shape. An I like the stainless steel liners. Any blade wobble ?

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Nope. It's good and tight!

[@johnhannon8372]

The only wood handle knives that I own are all of my opinel and I absolutely love those I'm wanting to try out another brand and you might be familiar with it Antonni old bear I think they're made by the Italians around the same price as opinel....

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

I’ve seen the old bears. Thought about them as well because of the olive wood handles.

[@linasmagnum]

Good looking blades, both of them, I just wonder if olivewood is hardwood and water resistant , never had one Sometimes they write that steel as MoVa To me that locking notch reminds me of a trigger seer

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Some of various descriptions of olive wood Olive wood tends to be very expensive, certainly more expensive than metal and plastic cooking utensils, and even pricier than other wooden utensils. The reason is that olive wood is more durable, less porous, and overall stronger and more beautiful. Olive accepts finishing oils and waxes well, but the wood's natural oils may resist water-based finishes Olive Wood is a dense, hard wood that resists stains and odours, is hard wearing and has its own natural antibacterial properties. With very little care your olive wood products will last a lifetime Olive wood boards, olive wood chopping boards, olive wood cutting boards. ... Not only are they very beautiful, but olive wood boards are very strong and have natural anti-bacterial qualities that make them the ideal surface for preparing food In short it’s a good wood for knife handles. Yeah sure it can get damaged but so can any other wood handle. Olive wood can be attacked be insects but not so much mold, mildew, and fungus.

I love cudeman knives and would have a collection if the shipping wasn't so high.

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

TheMartialist :- Try "Bushcraft Canada".

[@ianrankin1293]

Does Kitty like your olive wood knives? I have an olive wood knife that is now stained with cat drool! Apparently olive wood is like catnip to cats....

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Didn't know that. I'll need to keep her away from them

[@EdAtoZ]

Tobias, Just got a cheep knife in the mail a "Baladeo Fifties Pocket Knife Stainless Steel Blade And Tools Black Wood Handle" part number ECO068, off of Ebay just under $18. Yes it has grit in it and the small clip blade is hard to open and yes the corkscrew look like the

[@HydraBox777]

Where can I buy cudeman knives in north America? Can't seem to find very many dealers

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

I go to ebay. I've got a couple favorite sellers I trust.

[@aimankhalel8628]

Do you have the link to buy a ring pull one? please thanks!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

And the southwest line is also very very heavy!!!!!! Your right looks only don’t carry it!!!!!!!

[@conelaguadecara]

Buenas, buena marca Cudeman para cuchillos y navajas. Si están interesados en otras marcas españolas les recomiendo, como aficionado a la cuchillería, la casa Celaya,Expósito y JJ Martinez.un saludo

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Gracias por la recomendación. Comprobaré la salida. (utilicé el traductor de google para responder)

That company does not like nail nicks!

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

The thing is, neither of these knives need one. I suppose some folks would like to see it but I find that I open many knives without ever using the nail nick. The spring tension is light enough without being too light and there is enough blade to easily pinch it open. In the case of these knives, I'm kind of happy they don't have a nick as the nick with interrupt the lines of the blade. But yeah, in the case of many traditional knives, a lack of a nail nick would be a fatal flaw, especially those with more than one blade or a low profile opener.

[@mwillblade]

@@KnifeChatswithTobias Get a little bit of grease on the place you pinch, if you can open it easy then you have a keeper!
