Marbles G-10 Orange Scout Knife, Better than the Traditional?

[@mjdegrey4843]

Had mine come today. It's a pretty good knife, very sharp out of the box, well made and a substantial piece of kit. I'm impressed with it I must say!

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Nice. It's a solid knife. 👌 be safe 😁

[@Johann-4354]

[@2ndchancegeorge]

I have the toothpick in this series, and really like it for the garden. Stainless blade, bright color, crazy light weight, and I love the tongue-in-cheek covers with fake shields and bolsters. It’s weird that they have g10 liners instead of metal - I wonder how they’ll hold up over time. I like bone handles best, too - but these are great for folks always losing knives under sprinklers, or leaving them in pockets through the wash. Ask me how I know. Lol. I want to try the reaper and the cleaver next.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Nice. They growing on me...I see more in my future. Maybe lock at other makers. Thanks for you support as always

[@2ndchancegeorge]

You welcome. They are my favorites. Thanks for watching

[@rkoenig100]

I bought this knife recently and I love it. It reminds me of the knives I carried as a scout, but with a modern twist.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep, exactly what I thought. They did a great job with it. Thanks for watching always appriciated

[@terrybest8973]

KZbin people running it are silly don't like truth do they they took down a comment silly tree huggers lol how do you put up with them bud not you your really cool dude I love your videos good job bud

[@brianhoward7277]

Is it a noticeably lighter weight than the marbles g.i. scout knife that is the same knife but all stainless steel? Looks like a great camping or fishing piece to throw in the pack.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yes. It's a very nice knife. Great pack knife for sure. Thanks for watching

[@Roosterdad50]

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep, gotta love a scout knife. Why don't you post VW beetle videos on your channel?. Just saying. Be safe 😁

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep. I am a fan of marbles. Great budget knives for sure. Appreciate your support. Be safe

[@JackBlack-gh5yf]

About 10 years ago, I stopped counting when it went over 1000. I certainly have too many!

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Blasphemy. Lol. You can never have to many. Thanks for watching always appriciate your support

[@michellamoureux7341]

Where can buy this beauty i live inQuebec

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Good question, I got mine through Amazon. Also available from Smokey mountain knife works and probably Chicago knife. Not sure if they ship international. Maybe on ebay. Sorry not familiar with options in Canada. Bresafe, good luck. Let me know if you find it.

[@nicholsliwilson]

Bit late to the party here, sorry but G10 is a glass fibre/epoxy resin composite cured under pressure. It’s a material most commonly used as the substrate for printed circuit boards. @2nd Chance George

[@2ndchancegeorge]

G10 is a glass fibre/epoxy resin composite cured under pressure. Yes you are correct. I looked it up and found this info too. Thanks for sharing Appreciate the support

[@nicholsliwilson]

@@2ndchancegeorge I didn’t look it up, I work in the IT industry.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

@@nicholsliwilson ahhh nice. I'm old and retired and am still learning. Appriciate the info.

[@nicholsliwilson]

@@2ndchancegeorge it forms a relatively high friction surface, great for adhering copper & solder mask but also for your hand to grip, it’s fairly wear & impact resistant (Hong Kong protesters actually made body armour plates out of it) & it doesn’t react to moisture & temperature, absolutely necessary for PCB’s & advantageous for knife handle scales.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

@@nicholsliwilson ahhh. That's why they use it. Was wondering why it has become so popular. Thanks again for the info

[@mjdegrey4843]

I'll carry this when I don't fancy carrying one of my Victorinox knives. And I WILL put a better edge on it.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep they do need a better edge for sure. Thanks for the support. Be safe out there

[@terrybest8973]

I figured out were you live now northern Africa lol lol I'm from America but am German and Cherokee so don't know much about Africa bud I'm just a old viking Indian worrior from the old school bushcrafter before there was a such thing as a bushcrafter it's just my way of life

The blade and tools of the MR592 have a significant difference from the traditional four blade "Scout" knife, aside from the size. They all have a half-stop. (some people love a half-stop, some loathe them to the point they are a deal killer, while still others don't care one way or the other. I'm counted among the latter group.) None of my other 7 or 8 quad blade "Scout Knife", "Demo Knife" or "Engineers Knife" (The "Engineers Knife" replaced the punch/awl/reamer with a pen blade) have half stops, regardless of age and manufacturer. My two oldest are a 1936 to 1954 Imperial Engineers knife (based on the can opener design it is no older than 1947) and a 1975 Western Cutlery manufactured "Demo" knife the US Army Reserves issued me in post Vietnam 1974.. Another difference: The MR592's punch/awl/reamer has a thread eye, so can be used as a sail or tent needle, using heavy sail and tent thread. Only a couple of my Victorinox Swiss Army knives have that feature. SMKW/Bluegrass Cutlery (owns the Rough Ryder, Marbles,, Queen, and Queen City brands, among others) specifies an excellent heat treat and edge geometry on their 440A stainless steel and T10 carbon steel blades. I've found both to be capable of taking AND HOLDING a 10 degree per side (20 degree inclusive) edge angle (give or take 2~2.5 degrees when sharpening freehand), WITHOUT a so-called "micro bevel" of a blunter 30 or 40 degree inclusive angle. When I was taught how to sharpen a knife going on 63 years ago by my father, paternal and maternal uncles, grand parents, paternal great grand mother, maternal great grandmother and grandfather, AND great-great grandmother (great grandmother's mom) they unanimous on the edge angle (10 degrees per side; lay the blade flat on the stone, raise the blade spine 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch, push the edge over the stone, like you're shaving the stone. NEVER pull the edge. At the end of the stroke, stop, lower the blade spine, lift the blade, flip over and repeat until sharp, then strop on a plain dry leather or canvas strop at a slightly higher angle, using light to moderate pressure, to remove any wire edge that may have developed. (pushing the blade edge helps prevent a wire edge, BTW) They were also unanimous about stropping to restore your working edge, rather than automatically reaching for the sharpening stone, a "razor edge" isn't necessary, and goes away after one or two cuts, leaving your working edge. While it sounds "backwards", a 20 degree inclusive edge stays sharper longer than a 30 degree or greater inclusive edge. The 30 degree and higher inclusive edge is starting out blunter than a 20 degree inclusive edge. Naturally, the blunter edge is going to get even blunter quicker than a keen edge.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep it has not a real fan of Micarta. But the G10 is growing on me. Thanks for your support always appriciate you stopping by.
