Great collection. Specially wood lores. After decades of collecting, it’s about 10 years I’m giving my less pleasant ones to friends and familiy specially youths. It’s treasure to them. So today I love all mines except my biggest purchase regret of my whole life, the Fallkniven A1 Pro. I use my beloved Moras the most. And keep my BRKT, Old Bucks, LT’s, WC Knives, Puukkos, and others in my safe. Thanks and keep it up 🔪

[@Woodswalker1965]

Nice comment my friend. 👍🔪Yes the Fallknivens are not for everyone, I think that’s why I was able to buy them at a reasonable price secondhand.

[@DaryooshF.Sh.P-vq6mu]

@@bobhabsolute4995 I have WC WBK with kydex sheath and heavy duty leather belt loop. You cannot find any better design and performance better than Mr. Williams handles. Rolls Royce of knives handles. Like many other US products it’s a tad bit overbuilt but believe me you can spend a life only with this one blade in wilderness. Mine is aeb-l steel and I used it in some camp and hunting occasions fully satisfied. You can trust his mindset since he has lived a long life in woods whittling and thinking to knife designs. Hope I could pass my experience in these words honestly and truthfully.

Hi Wade !!! Great Video as usual & a very impressive knife collection. Several of you guys are from the1960's !! Im a 1952 guy LoL... I also like Swiss Army knives. For me I carry a Fieldmaster & offset it with a Walker or Ranger Grip 75... In years past I carried a Buck 110 & a pair of Klein Splicers Scissors. Currently I carry an Eldris in a leather neck sheath. My back up is a Carbon Garberg or an old Green River knife I got some years ago. My Leathermans are a Wave + or a wingman because of the scissors. As a project I purchased a broken Surge & I use one of the arms as a pocket knife with the blade, scissors, screwdriver & can opener. Fantastic for EDC. On the collector side I have a Circa 1960s Randall model 23 & a Bark River Gunny. Thank You -- Joe --

I agree with you that a dedicated survival knife should be more robust, overbuilt even. And while I do have knives that would be good survival knives, I have to admit I don't carry them in the woods as much because they're heavier. So I would not have them in the most common survival knife situation I would be in. I'd have my "Bushcraft" knives.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Very good observation there. It’s very true that usually we carry bushcraft knives. Being careful and mindful not to get into a bad situation where our survival is at risk is key.

[@TheDavewatts]

Battle horse make great knives, I bought the Chris Caine Evolution, I don't think they make them any more but it's a great knife. I love my mora Garberg, I did wait many years for the price to drop but I have to say I love using this knife, with our persistent rain here in the North West of England I tend to use the stainless more than the carbon version. I love my cold steel Canadian belt knife for processing small game, it's really inexpensive to buy but really is superb for this task. I have just ordered a Manley patriot, I've heard that they are cracking little knives, especially for skinning and hold a good edge. I've loved my knives since a very young age, my Dad gave me a small pocket knife when I was about 4 years old, I've got quite a lot of knives, more than I need 😂 but then I do tend to get attached to them, like you I have given a lot away but then I end up re purchasing them. I agree on the difference between survival or bushcraft, a bushcraft knife for me is the one most designed for working wood a good scandi, a good definition of a survival knife is definitely the jaktkit knife, a great all rounder, it can skin game as good as it can fire prep, I love it's vercetilty, this to me is what makes it a survival knife.

The Skookum Bush tool... Grail knife! I'm glad you made this video. Great collection and thoughts about knives. I have a GNS in 3V and love it but I do wish that it had thumb scallops and I'm not a fan of the sheath, but I really like the sheath you have for your GNS. 👍 Much like my tool, axe, and motorcycle collections my knife collection is out of control. I told myself that can only buy one knife and one axe/hatchet/tomahawk for myself per year now. I did a video a few years ago for Really Big Monkey and the collection just dwarfs that now. I went on a machete, Roselli, and ESEE binge last year I need help. lol The grail knives in my collection are the WSK/Saranac combo that I ordered from Dave Beck. I was one of the last (if not the last) people to get his custom ordered WSK. You are right that the custom knife experience is the next level up from a production knife. They craft the knife/tool to our purpose and physique.

Nice vid. A few comments: the case for the charge will also hold a small Ferro rod. The farmer can now be purchased with scissors. Not cheap. I have a couple of expensive lt wright knives. My favorite is the bushcrafter mark 2, no longer in production. Sabre grind. Very nice. Also have the old f1. My big comment on knives? Don’t pretend your fixed blade knife is a hatchet. It’s not. Obviously you can do what you like in an emergency, but it’s not a true substitute for even a cheap hatchet. I forgot my favorite folder: Spyderco Endura 4. Big knife, your choice of fancy or not very fancy steel. Mostly a slicer, but fairly sturdy for a folder.

@@Woodswalker1965 a mora companion and an estwing hatchet cover a lot of territory and, as you noted, if something happens to them it isn’t a big deal. I have one other suggestion. I read Mors’ book and watched his vids. Interesting guy. For most of us learning how to carve everyday items is pointless. Emphasize camping skills not bushcrafter stuff that most people will never do. For example, the super shelter is about camping not bushcraft. Just my idea.

Wade, thanks for sharing, I know a lot of us have been waiting for this video. You did a great job, however it brought back some bad memories (none of which are your fault). I had both of those Victorinox knives back in the day....until they both got confiscated by the TSA. I kept them in my travel kits and in the early days of no knives while traveling, I had them confiscated. Sucks that is the world we live in now. Anyhow, other than that, very informative, thanks.

@@Woodswalker1965 Yes, over the years I have bought more (not the exact same, not sure what models they are) but as we all know, nothing is cheap anymore, I've lost tools my father (who is now gone) gave me which was the worst confiscation. I put them in my CPAP bag over Christmas because I needed the extra room and forgot I had done that. Just some cool long handle bent nose pliers that I was really looking forward to using. Had to do with the length. Just over the minimum. TSA were (insert expletive)!!!! I even told them they were a present from my father who was dying of cancer, looking back, it was the last Christmas with him (during Covid). Crazy!!! Anyways, just keep moving forward, nothing I can do now. I always wonder were all that stuff ends up...some 2-bit government auction somewhere I'd imagine. I hope River is doing better...

Hey Wade, I recently sharpened a Benchmade Osborne folding knife I bought years ago with a Cape Buffalo custom handle and a cool back ribbed design in the steel (not sure if there is an official name for that?). The blade is a combo serrated and I would say flat grind the front half of the blade. I hate sharpening the serrated portion, always awkward and I never feel like I do a good job. I don't know the name of it, as I have never been able to find another one online. Anyhow, I know most of your knives are mainly for bushcraft stuff and fixed blades. I scrolled through your videos, which I still have many to view, but I didn't see any of them on any foldable knives, whether regular blade, partially serrated or fully serrated. Not sure if you have any of those, but if you do, would love to see a series dedicated to those. Hope River is doing better.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for the question my friend. Yes serrated blades take a bit of practice and I admit to not doing it very well or that often. I have had some success with the Worksharp Field sharpener though. The small ceramic rod does a decent job on serrated pocket knife’s. Good idea for a future video, thank you!👍🔪

Someone smarter than me once said something along the following lines: A survival knife is the knife you have with you, but a sharpened crowbar works best. A bushcraft knife is best suited for woodcarving and making other tools. Think something along the lines of the Woodlore or Adventure Sworn classic or Mountaineer. A camp knife is the one you are actually find most useful camping, something like a Kepheart or Nessmuck style knife.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for watching my friend!🔪

[@toto29er]

great video! Got my Buck 110 but I keep it with no use, I old like to keep it like new… maybe a collectible item… Looking for a puuko style neck knife but not an expensive one. I wont give it much use. Got various Esee’s, the 3, PR 4, CR 2.5, Izula II, Darien… A Joker Erizo in olive handles, and a Cudeman Sanabria 2, waiting for the Joker Nomad 5”… I use the Izula II a lot! is a great knife… please recommend me a puuko style neck knife. Keep those videos coming… regards

[@Woodswalker1965]

You have lots of nice knives my friend! Helle makes a lot of smaller pulp style blades suitable for neck carry. The Mora #1 is very light and a nice neck carry as well.

[@toto29er]

@@Woodswalker1965 Thanks for your prompt response, I am proud of my “collection “ jejejejeje… I will check out those Helle!

Some people buy knives just to collect them and don’t actually use them. I love getting use out of my knives. it’s good to wear em a bit. Don’t put it in a glass box. Use it

[@Woodswalker1965]

My knives may look like they don’t get used but I take good care of them. There are a few that I don’t use though and probably never will, thanks for watching.🔪👍

[@Woodswalker1965]

[@bigjohnt.7370]

My opinion the best survival knife is the one you got on you.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Truth!👍🔪

[@andymytys]

If you get a survival / bushcraft knife and the spine won’t strike a ferro rod (looking at you, Mora Companion), do you sharpen it?

[@Woodswalker1965]

Yes I sharpen the spine of my Mora Companions. If I was truly in a survival situation I wouldn’t hesitate to use a lighter or matches if I had them though. Great question, thank you!

[@daveyboy6985]

I think any knife company that puts a razor sharp convex edge on a blade has to put a more expensive price tag on them, as the edge requires more skill by the manufacturer to do really well. And as i mentioned they come really sharp 😊

[@Woodswalker1965]

I agree, one needs to pay for good craftsmanship!👍

[@piotrszwarclos866]

great collection

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for visiting, I appreciate it!

[@colinburgess9455]

I’d prefer a more substantial knife in a survival situation. Survival situations aren’t planned and I don’t always carry a heavy duty knife. I do however always carry a knife, most often a small fixed blade but not always. So in my opinion a survival knife is the knife that you have on your person at the moment.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Wry true when disaster strikes you use what you have and make the best out of it.👍🔪

[@bobhabsolute4995]

Hi Wade. There’s a knife I dream of because of the handle, it’s the Jacklore Classic. I am wondering if you had the opportunity to handle one? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I have to say, the handle is very similar to the handle of your Adventure Sworn.

[@Woodswalker1965]

I love the JL Classic! I haven’t handled one but the handles look beautifully done. I can’t speak to thickness or comfort though. Let me know if you get a chance to get one!👌🔪

Hi Wade, nice collection! What is your main source for secondhand knives?

[@Woodswalker1965]

There are various knife trading groups on Facebook. Just do a search for knife groups on FB and find one that suits you. There are a few specific to Canada, some to USA. Great question👍

[@JonathanRobinson11]

Great video! Between the Rob Evans MK Tribute and Rob Evans Bush Tool, which handle do you find more comfortable?

[@Woodswalker1965]

Great question. I prefer the MK1 for sure. I don’t use the Bushtool often because I use the MK1 so much. I highly recommend 👍

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Sorry to poke my nose in here gentlemen, the new bushtool S that I make has a handle in-between the BT and MK1, just for future reference I personally prefer the MK1 and S handles unless you have very large hands.

[@Woodswalker1965]

That sounds like a better fit for me Robert. Nothing wrong with my Bushtool but I prefer the grip of my MK1.

[@JonathanRobinson11]

@@RobEvansWoodsman I do have very large hands. So which model would you recommend then? Sorry if that is obvious and I am an idiot.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

@@JonathanRobinson11 order an original bushtool if you have very large hands, I can make that handle XL but I can't make it shorter due to the buttplate.

[@marcdewilde518]

Excellent video but I still didn't get what a skookum knife exactly is..

[@Woodswalker1965]

That’s a good question. It’s a Scandinavian name that means good, just right, dependable etc. I did a review on it here if you are interested.👊🔪 A Classic Bushcraft Knife, the Skookum Bush Tool. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYK2Z4SrgtWCbZI

[@andymytys]

Crossing the border into Canada, I’m always told folders that can have the blade accessed with one hand are illegal. Especially suspicious would be that last one that you flicked open. Is there a nuance that I’m missing?

[@Woodswalker1965]

I believe you may be correct. I wouldn’t risk it personally, having said that I regularly take my Leatherman Charge back and forth over the border without issue. A flipper, maybe not. Thanks for the question, further research may be needed on my part.

[@OutdoorswThatGuy]

Adventure sworn knives are no longer ...??? Joe Robinet carried those knives around for a few yrs too.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Good question. They are still in business but at times they close the custom order books and only sell ready made versions of their models. I’m not sure if their “custom” books are open at the moment. Thanks for watching!

They look really nice, well made and affordable. I owned a Cudeman knife from Spain several years back now that you remind me lol.

[@az-chris1136]

It would have been nice if you identified the steel on each knife, particularly the Falkniven blades. Bark River is noticeably absent here. The nice American knives you showcase use A1 or O1 tool steels . . . definitely not my blade choice . . . particularly in the environment you made this video in.

[@Woodswalker1965]

My apologies for not stating the knife steels. As you are aware 01 or A2 are common steels for American made knives. Since the Fallkniven X series is a readily available production knife anyone can find out they are Lam COS steel. I have owned BR in the past but they never stuck with me, so I felt no need to discuss them. Although some of the knives shown in my collection are CPM-3v (my preference) most are 01, a steel I like and have zero issues with in my environment. If they get wet…dry them off. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.👍

@@howardvarley8795 Thats a nice collection of Woodlores! I would only consider an original Alan Wood built knife to be a true Woodlore and all others to be a clone of the original.

There are various meanings but I think you’re correct in that it means, strong, reliable or good.👍 🔪

@Woodswalker1965 I used to do concrete work, landscaping, carpentry, so on and made a couple of knives for a few Canadians over the years, alot of the old timers said that to me about my work so I'm glad to hear it was that good of a saying.
