I'm thinking the smaller Randall is a #1 I use plain ol vaseline for protection on my carbon bladed knives that I carry. I don't have to worry about poisonous chemicals if I need to cut edible things. Give it a quick wipe beforehand and it'll be ready to use Thanks for the video

Bark River makes some very nice blades, including Bowie styles.
@babarama2835 ай бұрын
The S actually means the blade was made for Randall in Soligen, Germany.

On modern Randall knives, the S next to the Randall logo indicates stainless. Look it up.

I agree with you on bowie knives. I've been told that they are too big to be practical but I have to disagree. Having used them since I was a teenager some 50 years ago. I can do pretty much anything with my trailmaster or my buck frontiersman that I can do with a smaller knife plus a lot more .

It´s funny, how small the Waidblatt looks in hickock´s hand - even though it´s a real big knife 🙂. The Puma Waidblatt knife was developed around WW2 for big game hunting in Europe. Usually used in a set with a smaller knife like the Puma hunters pal or a nicker, it was/is used for the harder parts of gutting pigs or deer. Especially the older models have a high collectors value. Thanks again for your nice videos!!

Bowie knives are my favorites. The last one I picked up on a whim is a Muela. It has a carbon steel blade that is razor sharp. For a knife with such a large blade, it has great balance and a lively feel to it. I have some that are heavy and slow to use, but not this one. There are so many variations on the style, I just find them fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

@russellhorn74375 ай бұрын
What makes a knife is the type of steel it's made from. There is a balance to be attained between hardness of the steel and how hard it is to sharpen. A good, sharp three inch blade, is far better than a six inch blade of inferior steel. If you don't watch the quality of the steel you can get screwed by the advertised hype.
