JeoTec 21 Another Sweet Spanish Fixed Blade - Sharp Saturday

[@juliusspartacus5437]

I bought mine last year and I love it. I have big hands and it fits 👍

[@richardelliott9511]

Damn it Brian, just when I think I have finally found "the knife" for me, you show another that I can't live without! This one really ticks all of the boxes for me. But I'm having trouble with my wife getting suspicious of all of the Amazon packages coming to our door. Had the same trouble with "things that go bang" a couple of years . ago. Lol thanks for being here.

That knife is a winner, and has a great looking/performing sheath. The price is more than reasonable. I would carry it into the woods with no worries that it would not perform whatever tasks I needed to do. Thanks for sharing it with us Brian, and for my fatwood fix for today!

Huge fan of Jeo Tec!! Great video my friend!

[@doubled3983]

Hello from Oklahoma! Good video. Skunk! 14.06. Thanks for all U do! God Bless!

[@brr8888]

It’s nice to see you off the Schrade wagon and reviewing good knives👍🏼

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

You should check out my recent videos on some new Made in the USA Shrade knives. They are doing a good job with them

[@CACluff]

You're looking jacked in that t shirt keep up the good work!

[@bushcraft2012]

Hey Brian, nice video and knife. I own a Jeo Tec number 7.. cocobolo scales and brown leather sheath. Great knife. Quick tip...thar finger choil you dislike actually makes an excellent surface for striking that Ferro rod.

[@Jimmy-wq6rg]

Hi, the large choil is a finger guard in case you are smashing something with the pommel. Pinky finger goes there - cheers

[@tthomp57]

I like your style. Great review! How about a follow up on the hillbilly sharpness test after the abuse? I gotta have one of these. Been looking for a decent bush craft knife with better steel without breaking the bank! Okay, 3 weeks have passed and I finally ordered a Jeo Tec no 18 bush craft model.

[@ee222]

i don't care how good of a knife the JeoTec 21 is, i just want to be able to chop wood with a knife as fast as you (5:40-5:47)! :) seriously though, great vid (as always). i'm thinking of getting one of these. thanks for the intro to the JeoTec line.

[@shudad7]

Excellent video Bryan, keep up the great work.

[@nicholasbergman9965]

These are the most awesome knives. I have the number 9. It is incredible.

[@sergiochairez7153]

I recently have bought the j37 and j39 and i totally love these knives i definitely recommend them

[@mrhalfstep]

Hi, Bryan. Hope you're feeling better. Another great video and a slick lookin' knife. This video and your comments raised a few questions for me that I'd like to hear your opinions on, if you wouldn't mind taking the time. 1) I think we share the same view on batoning. Why would a knife maker add so much weight to his knives if he didn't intend for them to chop, split and pry wood apart? You can do kitchen tasks, carve utensils, cut cordage, skin game, strike a ferro rod, throw a flint and steel spark (with a carbon steel blade, of course), cut rawhide strips, make feather sticks, scrape fatwood, carve a heart with your girlfriend's name in a (dead standing) tree and many other tasks just fine with a very lightweight pocket knife. Many of those things are actually easier to do with a pocket knife or a folding belt/pocket knife like the SAK Ranger series knives. What those knives are NOT as good at is getting to the dry center of a wet limb to get a fire going in adverse conditions. They can do it, but not as well and, guess what, you gotta use a baton! A pocket knife with a saw blade is good for building structures, but a simple jack knife isn't. My point is, if the knife maker is using a blank that is from 3/16'" to nearly 1/4" thick, of course he means for it to be batoned. I don't think he did it to discourage an outdoorsman from carrying it because it was too heavy and a lighter knife would do most things just fine. Make sense to you? 2)If we agree that a knife like this one, a thick, although short, belt knife can be safely batoned, but, as you stated yourself in the video, is not good for chopping because it's on the short side, would you do something different for us in the future? Instead of trying to make the knife do something that it is poor at, by chopping forever on an oak limb to shorten it, would you baton the knife across the grain of the limb. I feel that would be a more efficient way to do that task and it is the way I would use the knife, if it was that short and robust. 3) and lastly, do you think that that choil was made with that large radius in order to strike a ferro rod? 4)OK, one other thing I would like to ask, why does everyone remove material from the top side of a ferro rod? Will it work if you hold the knife and drag the bottom of the rod across the top spine of the knife. When the top of the rod is scraped across the spine of an inverted knife the sparks seem to fly up in the air, somewhat and doing the reverse seems like it would throw the sparks down at the tinder better. Never done it, but wandered if it's been done and disproven. 5) (see I can ramble on with the best of 'em) In your newsletter you ( in print ) said the live cast would be "this Thursday" which would have been May 20th, but in the video you said that although you have been doing them on the last Thursday of the month (that wouldn't be the 20th of May, by the way) you might have to go into June this time. So I'm confused. I don't subscribe to the Dude Bag, but I really respect how you are trying to follow up on their response to you and making sure you are not doing a disservice to your subscribers when you accept them as sponsors. Very commendable!!! You're a GOOD MAN.

[@tom_olofsson]

Good looking blade.

[@adnanmaharaj324]

That's a beautiful Knife and Sheet, for the price, my opinion it's a good buy.

[@jparker5397]

Outstanding video sir!!. The Spanish are making fantastic Knives!!. I have a Castrom #10 made by Joker and love it!.

[@JJ-qi9zn]

Try to anchor your striker or knife and pull your ferro rod and you will find that it works much easier.

[@carlosfernandez1]

Looks pretty good for the price. I have a knife hand-made by BigSky Ammunition and another one is on the way. Grate video like always. Thanks for shearing.

[@paulhouse7946]

Nice knife Bryan! Cool sheath too!

[@imortal5339]

I love your channel, Its the best survival review channel out there.

As shucks.

[@imortal5339]

Im just telling the truth. And I love your music.

[@psaammkss]

Hello Brian. In compare to JeoTec try the Shark from Kizlyar Supreme. I think it is/can be a similar knife. Greetings from Europe.

[@larrymyers5429]

good review, I enjoy your reviews! From just north of Chattanooga

[@Jim-Pilgrim]

Now that’s a nice knife.

[@danreid6712]

Wang Dang Sweet Full Tang !!!

[@TheNightowl001]

I'd have to say that looks like a great knife for carrying every time you go into the woods! I'm tempted, but the price is a bit out of my reach. I'm not saying it's not worth what they're charging for it, just that I'm too broke to afford it. But it looks like a GREAT knife! I like that it is SO thick (I heard you, 5 mm). A flat grind might not be the best for splitting, but that BIG spine and solid thickness full tang means it'll take whatever batoning you want to do with it, and it looks danged near perfect for that to me!

[@sasquatch885]

I like it.👍🏻

[@arctodussimus6198]

Looks like a good knife. Question... is that sheath ambidextrous?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Nope

[@HARMARSCH2]

Bryan, JeoTec is making some very nice knives. I am thinking about grabbing the 21 for EDC.

Hello

[@MiamiGuy1972]

⚠️They make GREAT knives in Spain...if you want to laugh, look up their knife carrying laws. Depending on the cop, you could get in trouble carrying this knife out in the mountains in the middle of nowhere...🤣😂🤣😂

[@Red_Proton]

From my experiences, it's meant to prevent fluids from making its way to the handle and interrupting your grip. It's not for fingers.

[@TheֆOne]

That's a complete myth, the purpose of such choils is to simply allow you to sharpen the length of the blade with less issues. It also prevents damage to the lower fittings when you do so. Absolutely zero to do with fluids on handles! Same sort of myth when people call a fuller a blood groove which is said to do the same thing but actually does not.

[@JohnSmith-gs4lw]

Regardless, unless you have sausage fingers like I do, it would take about 10 seconds with a file to put a 1mm radius (1/16” for those of you stuck in the Imperial system) on that sharp corner and it would be completely harmless as a forward finger choil. Not disagreeing with Brian. It’s too small. So either make it usable without user modification, or don’t design it in to begin with.

[@TheֆOne]

@@JohnSmith-gs4lw I personally have no affinity for choils, my response was simply aimed at correcting the myth that red posted.

[@Red_Proton]

@@TheֆOne If it's a myth... great. If it's not... great. I simply shared the common reasoning many knife designers have made regarding such a "choyle." You are rather accusatory in your implication. Any good reason why?

[@TheֆOne]

@@Red_Proton red it is a myth, I've already stated why! I'm not sure what you mean by accusatory or why you seem to have taken it personal as it's not! I see alot of people repeat untruths as if they are fact and when I see this I will always correct it. My only aim was to educate others and not put anyone down. If you feel accused for whatever reason then you have clearly misread my previous statement. Also I'm not sure why you felt the need to correct my spelling of choil? As it stands where I am from it is spelt correctly but thanks for your input there!

[@delesdog]

The ruike jager is a much better choice

[@waileonglee7031]

A knife is used for cutting. So a sharp cheap knife is better than a blunt expensive knife. Conclusion, a knife is as good as the person who sharpens it. Not its value. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@richardelliott9511]

I agree with your basic premise, in the moment, but a "good" knife will hold its edge longer and you will spend less time overall keeping it sharp. Steel alloy, type of grind, angle of grind and quality of construction do matter and cost money.
