To all you good folks out there wanting to give virtueovice advice- you need to take his advice and keep your own. He tests tons of knives and knows his stuff. He is an undisputed expert in the knife community.

[@CliKnight]

You are my YODA... I freaking love your videos,your knowledge,the way you speak and explain. But most of all,that you care enough to take the time to share your knowledge and time. Thank you. I have been bouncing around your channel for years. But I just most recently started from the beginning. Wow I missed so much great stuff. Again Thank You.

[@questionmark5463]

This is one of my favorite channels on KZbin. I have learned much from you since I started following. Best regards to you and your family! We "knife people" appreciate your kind of videos. So detailed, entertaining and informative. Much respect! Please don't stop!

[@surearrow]

From "The Knife People", we thank you for this video.

[@loveforever5687]

I have mad respect for people who tries hard to speak English as their second language. im asian but, im born in the US and speak fluent English. Good job man. I love the knife too.

[@seanjoyce9475]

That is one beautifully designed sheath. Practical and ergonomic.Housing n excellent knife.All your knives (on show today)have thick blades and great scales. A really nice exhibition of your some off your extensive collection. Thank you

[@bdunks287]

Thanks again for creating and maintaining such a great channel...it is one of the very best.

[@joesphx19]

Thank you for sharing your personal favorite. I always look forward to your videos as I always learn from your presentations.

[@leaddispenser9]

I forgot the name of your channel.. I typed hello knife people, and boom!! Love this stuff haha

[@Dani-yt8nk]

Lol..I've just tried it.

[@rcsnow22]

Beautiful Knives . I am enjoying your videos and fine knowledge of quality knives .

[@lucas.5am639]

You convinced me on convex grinds. Thanks for your videos.

[@itsinsidiousone]

thank you , and ill remember never to use a 3m fabric sponge . thanks again and look forward to your future videos

[@ronaldwells4427]

Thanks for your fresh approach to the subject!

[@bdunks287]

Thank you for such a great video channel. In respect, I want to suggest that the one sheath does not have two belt loops; instead, it has one belt loop and a front flap that you can place over the top of the knife handle to secure the knife in the sheath for parachuting and other high-movement activities. Just loosen the cord and the flap should fit over the knife handle, which might totally cover the handle. Hope this information helps.

[@ozzy2me2000]

Thank you! I am enjoying your videos tremendously!!! Thanks! gary

[@StrongIslandPrepper]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Florida, USA.

[@daryooshfatemi]

Believe me, Fallkniven A1 Pro is the best. Specially for batoning. Rust resistant, perfect convex blade, thick spine, japanese perfect laminated cos steel. Super great edge retention and easy to sharpen. I enjoy it and believe me, I know your taste, you will love it too.

[@bluetoad2001]

again, another good video from Wako. thanks for posting

[@tecnotrog1]

Subscriber and been watching and enjoying your videos for sometime now.really enjoy your videos just want to say thank you

[@jwrappuhn71]

I like your set up, especially the knife wth the kydex sheath.

[@paulie4x1]

One of my fav knives for batoning is my Rodent 9 which I pair off with my Ratmandu, and when I go more compact I like my Rodent 7 which I pair off with my Rodent 4, I had a Rodent 6 Customized for even a lighter set but I had it thinned down yet having enough robust feature of the Rodent 6 and I had the top gaurd taken off and now it look's like a beefy Ratmandu on steriods which I paired off with the Rodent Solution every knife except my Rodent Solution have similar grinds and are th Saber Vex Grind the Solution has a Convex Grind, these are my go to wood processing knives

[@ryanpitts4893]

Hey wako you should look at the dark timber knives I think you would love them!!!

[@michaeldemetriou1399]

I love convex grind knives they are good for durability and very easy to sharpen once you get the hang of it strop is very important for convex knives

[@virtuovice]

I sometimes baton with Mora. I think its plastic handle is rugged enough to sustain its tang in its right position against a pretty hard impact. Thanks.

[@wraith012]

こんにちは virtuovice、私はあなたのビデオの最も感銘を受けた。あなたのチャネルを購読しています。このような偉大なビデオを作っていただきありがとうございます。

[@kulyon]

I would suggest you get 1 of the moras in a stainless steel version. if you want something a little more heavy duty I would suggest the ka bar marine fighting knife

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Doc, I thought I'd give you a heads up. in the month of March 2016, their featuring a new knife called the Attitude, I had mine thinned down to 5/32nd and a High Scandi Grind with White Bone Handle with a Blue Liner. Just thought you didn't hear about the special, I think it's a very nice looking knife with a palm swell handle and a Pappilon (Butterfly) Pommel.

[@derpityderp-derp4007]

I love this guys vids:)

[@lakerlogic9538]

I love that knife in the leather sheath. A2 steel is tough as heck but I'm a tried and true D2 guy. D2 with a convex edge is in my observation a perfect steel in terms of edge retention and toughness.

[@vagabond4576]

D2 is only good with a good heat treatment but A2 and other premiums beat D2 with good treatment. That is why D2 is a mid level steel.

[@gogo12able]

Monster knives my friend very good points

[@cursedbyeleven]

Awesome knife and sheath!

[@vadwanuu7825]

Very nice collection! :)

[@virtuovice]

Mora. They have 2 thickness, 2.5mm and 3.2mm. They have two steels, carbon and 12C27. Their plastic sheaths are made pretty rugged and practical. 2.5mm versions seem to have 22 degree angle while 3.2mm versions seem to have 28 degree angle. I love my 2.5mm thick 12C27 Bushcraft and Companinon. 12C27 bends but doesn't chip. 22 degrees is super sharp to anything to cut. 28 degrees is too large to cut wood. I cannot understand why they increased their famous small angle recently. Thanks.

[@askevin4605]

Beautiful knifes，I like them very much !

[@lorisb1513]

Awesome sheath for the gomboy

[@James-ke5sx]

I learned some interesting new things just now, good information.

[@younggun454]

日本に住んでいますか ？ I have Fallkniven knife for myself、that is truly one of the best. よく見ました、 ありがとうございます。

[@virtuovice]

In case one loop was torn up. The rear loop is stitched to the body of the Molle Back while the front loop is tied to the body with a lanyard. It is a fail-safe system. Thanks.

[@virtuovice]

I didn't know that. It makes perfect sense. Thank you.

[@virtuovice]

S30V and its brother steels are very hard and can chip against batoning. Batoning edges should take rolls before chips. VG-10, 12C27, N690 in SS, 1095, O1,A2 in carbon would be better because they roll before chip. Cheap steels like AUS8 will take rolls and chips at the same time and won't make a good batoning edge. The worst steel is 8Cr13Mov in my experience. It will make only a paper cutting edge. Thanks.

[@deankirby5966]

As a "Home Bushcrafter", have you tried a Froe to split wood rather than knife? A froe would be too heavy and bulky for hiking, but would be vey effective for home use.

[@eipi5173]

beautiful knives! thxs for sharing.

[@jackarochoplad]

Good video mate, keep it up!

[@BushCampingTools]

LOL Bark River must love you!

[@knurled1]

I like that kydex sheath set up. Great vids sir, I will subscribe ☺

[@feliperuiz7559]

Nice review mate

[@BushcraftSweden]

Learned so much from you..

[@northcacalacka545]

Mr Wako, will you please make a video discussing some of the different types of steels for knives and there properties/applications. Thank you for your video's!

[@virtuovice]

It is Bravo 1.5 in A2 tool steel by Bark River.

[@manicjanak2]

Good video.... good work on the English

[@elimgrc1292]

More than knife.. voice and accent is enjoyable

[@virtuovice]

No. I think such a small stove needs thin and short wood to make small fire just to make a cup of soup or coffee. The reguglar Firebox grills fish and does various cookings even better than real large campfire. And the Nano should be much more difficult to keep fire in because thin wood burns out soon. We will need to feed twigs from next to next. Thanks.

[@johnzane3977]

It's funny I never really consider earthquakes where I live but I suppose that's what defines a survivalist. Be aware of any possible disasters in your area.

[@ranik8890]

such great videos thank you

[@maddogtannen1966]

Another good video ! ... Thanks , very informative ....

[@Eurotrash4367]

Check out the Mora line. They are all excellent choices and can be found online for about $30-$40.

[@lionkempers]

nice colection

[@BushCampingTools]

Yeah great for cooking fish! When I lived in Odaiba we had a ceramic hibachi but this thing wasn't invented then and would have been much better.

[@nickharwell9909]

you are so awesome. cheers

[@itsinsidiousone]

was thinking that, looks very like a bravo 1.5 but the markings on the blade look different

[@leonihal]

Don't care about your accent mate, just that you have something good going....survival kit with your knife.

[@tubeularvids]

i enjoy your knives and videos brutha keep it up . just subbed you

[@kevinolesik1500]

great video ... very descriptive

[@n-signia1087]

From what I can tell this knife is no longer in production. What a shame, it seemed like a fantastic bushcraft knife. If I’m wrong please let me know.

[@drunkenblacklocustbushcraf2857]

Dutch Bushcraft Knives sent me.

[@cplaussem]

I think you would lovw the SOLO STOVE. Please look it up.

[@Nalapombu]

GREAT VIDEO as USUAL.... Have you tried out the HABILIS BUSH TOOL? It's a great looking knife with lots of sheath options for carrying essential tools for Bushcraft. It would be a perfect choice for your Japan Earthquake Kit. Look forward to seeing your video on it if you have it.

[@virtuovice]

Bark River Bravo1.5 in A2. The lower half of the logo is disappearing because of my 1500 paper polishing to diminish the scratches which took place when I washed off the resin of pine using 3M fabric sponge. Never use the 3M fabric to the blade. Thanks.

[@paulie4x1]

I have to differ with you on one point I think a relief edge to me is a much better geometry for splitting wood when batoning therefore my fav is a Saber Vex Grind, I find on a Convex Grind the relief edge is too low, but too high and you create a wood drag like when using a Full Flat Grind, when when you Vex it it's simply too low and that makes the spine it's relief edge creating too much wood drag.

[@psiconsultorio7912]

Doc, I love your videos! i allways wonder "how many knives does he have ?" Greetings for Argentina.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Outstanding! Thankyou!!!

[@cogitaretoo]

I never realized that Mojo Jojo was so into knives.

[@100-s9l]

Are you planning to test one of the new small Firebox Nano?

[@pocobuen]

brilliant, thank you

[@itsinsidiousone]

love your videos and you have an incredible knife collection, and a good eye for a blade . was wondering who makes the knife you keep for your earthquake emergency , would be very interested in trying to purchase one , if you could post a name and brand would really appreciate it , thank you

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah, I totally agree, I like a sort flatter handle for better control. If round had good control, I believe hockey sticks would be round.,,.

[@arshanmostafavi9621]

"paulie 4x" Dude, I see you on these knife channels all the time and you always start by saying "Say heah". You willie mays or somethin'?

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Cajun I'm thinkin " say heah! "

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Arshan Mostafavi it's his shortest comment ever!!! Lol jk

[@danzigrulze5211]

Have you ever looked into the DLT kydex sheaths Bark River knives? Or do you just prefer the leather sheaths? I live in southern Louisiana so lots of wet areas, reason why I went with 3V steel on my Bravo 1.25 and the kydex sheaths from DLT are really great especially for the price.

[@samuelhuber3765]

fine edges youve got on your knife

[@Cheehooo24]

Hello Sir. I am new to your channel and I enjoy all your videos. I am pretty sure that someone of your experience is above this already but I was wondering if you could recommend a decent bushcraft knife for under $50. Being that $50 is the only budget I could spent on knives.

[@bogoljubdjordjevic7528]

I belive to

[@virtuovice]

I have many pieces of 6mm thick Japanese hatchet in various grinds. I am used to 6mm blades. I think 1/4 inch thick American blades are too heavy for the length. 5mm is too thin to baton a thick log in my opinion. Bravo's thickness happens to be my favorite 6mm and I love it. Kyley, the maker of cKc knives will not have 6mm steel for now. But he will need to have it again because I think 6mm is the best thickness for a medium size survival knife. Thanks.

[@dananguish11]

Hey, great video! Cantonese or Mandarin? I'm a Sigung, and Sifu in Wing Chun to a select few. If you're going to do what I refer to as "Modern Bushcraft", which includes preparing for a "sh*t-hit-the-fan" scenario, so therefore my bushcraft includes urban settings(which obviously yours does as well) for training, which, includes possibly attack at any time.

[@Bogie770]

did you ever try an AD 10 folding knife if so can you make a review of it?

[@huaweikaltim]

I hear you... choose the heavier 6mm... where do I get that btw???

[@leaojose45]

muito bom.

[@kevinAuman1]

What knife is that larger knife with the micro bevel? I could not understand you but I do like the looks of it

[@mrtripster2]

You are very informative thanks! Great video. Wat is the folding axe you use, the one from the beginning of the video.?

[@virtuovice]

cKc Forrester7 or Bark River Bravo1.5 or Mora Bushcraft Force.

[@holynex]

This one left me quite puzzled. Like two belts at different heights? At the same time? The loops seem to to have exactly the same size (height?). I don't get it...

[@blatherama]

It's a Bark River but I don't know which kind.

[@Walterliquori]

Gotta listen to an accent like that .good video bud

[@fluffywhiteducky]

That is the name of the first batoning knife he showed? the one he only keeps in his garage for earthquake emergencies.

[@fluffywhiteducky]

never-mind

[@RIDERsxv]

A high and low mount.

[@tovsteh]

I know you are a big Bark River fan, but does the A2 steel not bother you? I feel I cant take a non-stainless knife for bush-crafting as I constantly worry about maintaining it.

[@brunopereyra8494]

What is the name of the knife afters the green bushcraft knife.

[@mbenjamin292]

if you could have one knife for cutting up deer what would it be? thanks for your time your the real deal.

[@virtuovice]

+Mike Benjamin Bark River Fox River is the fastest knife for the job. Elmax holds its sharpness for 5 deer. Thanks.

[@bocephuslastofmykind881]

I have to know. What was the manufacturer of the nice knife in the leather sheath? The Hurricane knife? That is a beautiful blade sir. Where did you get it? How much? What's it called? Thanks. Ps. Want to sell it?

[@かずのり-x5e]

Hello knife people

[@holynex]

Why would you need 2 beltloops? Are you wearing 2 belts? :)

[@daisy8luke]

Moshi, moshi! Denwa desu!!!!
