My Three Favorite Knives

Its taken me a year to get to this video, but here are my 3 favorite knives. A year ago Aaron Nelson put out a challenge to a few of us to do a video on our 3 favorite knives....I thought it was a great Idea but It's taken me 11 months to get it done! Here are my three* favorite knives. Links below for more info. Thanks, Dave Whipple

Love my 440C steel Ulu. I’ve had it 29 years and it’s got another 100 to go from the looks of it.

[@zM00Nx]

Condor has become one of my favorite knife companies, if not my favorite.

[@Bushradical]

They do a good job.

[@zM00Nx]

@@Bushradical I recently picked up their Hudson Bay Camp Knife. It was on my radar for a while, but it wasn't until I watched a few of your videos that I decided to pull the trigger on it. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. You have a really no bullshit approach to your content, which is super refreshing in todays world of "bushcraft/ survival". Thanks for the videos and for taking the time to respond to my comment.

[@DannyWalker1949]

Man, You've got a Basket full of Knives🔪 I'd like to get an Knife Blank and make my own also. I have made a knife out of an old Flat Car Spring before, but I'm getting to old for that much work anymore👴

[@Bushradical]

The Woodlaw blanc was around $15 and it was a fun little project. They offer a couple more blancks too....

[@storm3016]

I was wondering if the LT made the cut or not, good to see it's growing on you more and more!

[@Bushradical]

I'm a cheap dude who buys his gear from flee markets and garage sales......so a $200+ knife is a bit out of the norm for me......but it IS a great knife and I like it more all the time.

[@Timothy_Jones]

Great video Dave!!!! I'm a sucker for Knife videos, LoL! I just got a Kabar Turok and I'm really digging it at the moment! Cheers!

[@Bushradical]

Hey T.J. I'll check that knife out.

[@troydodson4837]

You ever try an old hickory butcher knife? The 7in one fits a kabar combar sheath perfect..

[@Bushradical]

I have 2 of them cut down to about 3.5" blades love them.

[@troydodson4837]

Bushradical awesome, Im gonna make one into a kephart shape soon and put some curly maple handle scales on it.

[@Bushradical]

I've thought lots of times about buying a kephart knife.

[@troydodson4837]

Bushradical same here, but im broke so id rather make one haha

I really need a better knife! Especially now that china isn’t shipping here! Lol Honestly I’ve only ever heard of Case, Gerber, and Swiss I think? I never really figured out how to or where to buy a good knife.? It’s nice to be able to feel them in your hand before purchasing.

[@Bushradical]

Oh yeah, you need to like the feel of the handle for sure

Nice knives. I was one of the “lucky 20” and really like the Ulu you made. Thank you.

[@Bushradical]

Awesome! I'm glad you like your Ulu!

[@rtoguidver3651]

I would never pay $200 for a knife I can make for $20 w/ A2 tool steel or A2 stainless.. The temper you get isn't as good as it should be so I usually re-harden and re-temper my blades.

[@semco72057]

I love the large knife you have and I have many knives myself and one of my favorites is the Buck knife with the long blade which is over 35 years old and I used it when I lived in San Bernardino, California. When I came to Arkansas where I have been living for decades. I own other large blade knives also, including one from a German company, but made in China, and one Japanese knife. When it comes to folding knives, I have several of them also with one which was issued to me while at one air base where we rigged parachutes for cargo which was dropped from the C-130 aircraft. That knife is now my favorite and is used for camping now and has two blades on it. One regular blade, and one blade with a slotted edge which fitted into the locking mechanism of the chute. The knife still looks new like it was when given to me.

[@Bushradical]

Right on. How long where you in the air force? My first job in Alaska was pouring concrete on Eielson Airfare Base.

[@bobashmore6442]

Watching your "three no five" video made me think of Monty Python and the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch: "Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out." Still a great video, I just have a strange mind. Thanks!

[@Bushradical]

Thats a funny bit! ......."it tis but a flesh wound".

[@Salieri47]

Some profundity for the algorithm: A knife is meant to be a usable tool that gets used.

[@ericwilliams3413]

Ulus do not get enough love. Simple do it all blade that's endured through the ages.

[@rottdogg8926]

There are two knives, off the top of my head, that I believe are misunderstood and under appreciated. The first is the Ulu. I first witnessed the Ulu while working with Alaskan Natives. I was really impressed with it's usefulness but it was years before I couldn't deny that anymore and now I can't think of another knife better at skinning and other camp duties. The second knife is my Kukri. I got to work with some Gurkha's when I was military about 35 years ago. But I thought it was just a big goofy knife at first until I got to witness just how multi-function it was. I would rather have a Kukri on Vancouver Island or anywhere else with thick under growth than a large blade or machete. The Kukri is a bit shorter than a machete but it works amazing for brush and you get no blade wobble like machete's. When I was younger I was convinced I needed a big K-Bar or an M-9 for bushcraft. Now I'm in full agreement with you. I only use shorter knives, a leatherman and a pocket knife. With the exception of the Ulu and the Kukri when the situation calls for them. I think I could cut back to only 5 knives and be able to do anything that requires a good blade.

[@Bushradical]

If you've watched this channel you know I'm a big Ulu fan. I make 100+ each year at least. I have a couple vids on making them.....but as for the Kukri....Ive never tried one out. I know a lot of folks love them, but ive just never had one to mess with. Any suggestions as to which brand to try?

[@rottdogg8926]

@@Bushradical Absolutely, from watching you and Brooke's videos on the Ulu I knew you were both fans. My comment was merely intended as support of what you've both been saying. I worked with Alaskan Native tribes for over a decade and have personally witnessed the magic native women do with the Ulu. I can't personally use the Ulu with such precision and function but I can appreciate it. As for the Kukri, I'm not a brand snob and don't even know what brand mine is. And since I am no knife expert it would be vain and ignorant of me to even suggest a brand. Especially considering the number of people, yourself included, who know far more about knife building than myself. I just think of these two blades as uniquely functional and widely underappreciated for how useful they are. No disrespect towards you intended.

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

The ulu knife is funny knife. Most people down state and a lot of Alaskans don't really know what the you is. Yeah they see the semi circular knife and know it comes from Alaska. Well long story short, my daughter teaches up in east central Alaska out in the villages. One year I said I wanted a you knife.. So she ask one of the villagers if he would make a you knife for her father. And he ask her why her father wanted a woman knife. I thought it was funny and the fact that the blade has CHAMPOIN circular saw blade stamped on it. But it is great for spinning a seal or making salad.

[@Bushradical]

Yeah, they have a million uses for sure. Its such a great utility knife. ( east central Alaska)..... Northway, Tok area?

Great review. You are such a good story teller I think you could read the phone book and make it sound good.lol. I love knives. Not sure why. I am a 50 year old woman. I don’t hunt. Or camp (yet)etc. But I have had horses most of my life and you always need a knife in the barn,or anywhere really. I often have a knife in my purse or car,since I am Canadian lol I need to be careful as we can’t just carry “weapons “ around. I just like knives. 👍🏻

Condor one of the best brands ever got like 8 of them&love’m all...used to be buck&gerber..not eny more

[@Bushradical]

Condor makes a good knife for a fair price for sure.

[@rebelyell2741]

I’ve been collecting since the late 80’s. I’ve got an RMJ original I bought from Ryan Johnson himself ( hammer forged by him from an old pry bar) at Ft. Lauderdale Fl. War Memorial Auditorium When he was first starting out. I bought it used. It was his personal knife he used in a sheath he made. My absolute favorite knife made from 01 steel. Perfect heat treat. Got his forge stamp on the knife and “RMJ Forge” stamped on the back of the leather sheath. It’s a one of a kind knife he never produced more of. And almost exclusively makes hawks now. Nothing hand forged by him from scratch with hammer and anvil. I got lucky.

[@njzeigler4370]

Condor Hudson Bay and Condor Bushlore are my go-to knives for hiking/camping/prospecting. Along with the Victorinox Forester I carry every day.

[@rtoguidver3651]

The Condor Bushlore is my go to knife for all around camp. I paid $25 for it years ago and other then a little surface rust it's as good as new... 1075 high carbon steel isn't as hard as 1095, but it's easier to keep sharp in the field. .

Thanks ERS. I feel the same way. The LAST thing i would ever do is have a never ending stream of stuff sent to me and say "this is awesome" to everything.

Hi Dave, I just ran into your & Brook's channels, and I have to tell you they are great channels. I'm having a ball going back over all of your past videos. I actually saw Brook's first & thought, that looks like Brook from "Alone". Of course it was. I will have time to catch up on your channels as I have a broken foot, and am having surgery this week so if you see new comments on your older video's, that's why. I'm going to hate being laid up, but will enjoy catching up. From one Michigander to another, thanks you for sharing.

Condor and Lt wright are awesome! Lt wright is more high end and condor is more budget but they are both close to the same style of knife. So you can get the best of both worlds!

[@soisitimpossible]

I like your choices....if I had to choose three or four I'd take my old leather sheath Mora, my old timer set (2) of skinner knives never seen duplicates, and likely my machete by tramontina in Brazil. My mora has made so many meals and is a great camp knife. My old timers are great steel and always come hunting. Both of these selections have likely been with me for well over 10k kms in the bush on foot. The machete has just served me so well for everything and never let me down. I guess we all have our favourites.

[@Bushradical]

I have a friend who was a missionary in Brazil ( and a machete guy) and he says the cheap Tramontina machete is about as good as any. I have a couple friends from Mississippi ( machete country) and they say the same thing.

Thanks J.....actually I asked Mick about the knife and he said he had no idea where it was.....the next day Brooke found it in her backpack....so the boy didn't have it after all. As far as a design of my own....it would be pretty simple, lol

[@spider5001]

Hey friend 🙂 great video and great knives 💪🏻😀👍🏻 Have you seen the 2018 lineup for Condor? A lot of 1095 steel🎉🎉 I really like that Hudson Bay. My favorite knife is the LT Wright Lagom. I dinged it on a rock the other day though😩. No more fancy edge from the shop. I have a knife coming on Monday that I think my give it a run for it’s money though. The boat tail scandi also from LT Wright. It is a lot like that first knife you showed but made with the same steel as your Genesis. I really want you to get this Lagom in your hands. It’s so awesome and 100 bucks less than that Genesis. Hardly any reviews on it. Would you be interested in reviewing if I sent it to you for a few months?

[@Bushradical]

I appreciate the offer Spider, but I'll be heading north in a couple months and things will be really busy....so I'll have to pass on the review....It looks like a great knife.

[@spider5001]

Bushradical ok friend the offer stands if you ever decide to check it out👍🏻 back north to Alaska? I’ve never been there me and my fiancé are thinking of taking a cruise there for our honeymoon.

[@longrider42]

The Cold Steel Norse Hawk, when removed from the handle, is a great Ulu knife. I have one and I've used it for camping many times, both on and off the handle. Two tools in one. My three favorite blades, thats a hard one. I've been collecting knives since the early 80's but I'll try and pick three out. 1. Just got it this year, the Becker BK16, awesome little knife, and holds a great edge. 2. Condor Hudson Bay knife. I've had mine for three years, and love it. 3. Not a knife but the Cold Steel Norse Hawk. Great Tomahawk, and when you take the blade off the handle, you have an Ulu knife. So two tools in one.

I am definitely an Old Hickory fan and have several that I am particularly fond of, haven't been able to bring myself to alter any of them so am on the lookout for a flea market or yardsale cheapie that I won't feel so bad about butchering (pun intended). I was wondering about how you felt about the Green River/Russel knives and blade blanks or if you have had any experiences good or bad with them, thanks!

Yes - L6 saw steel is infinitely better than the lid from a tin can .

[@Bushradical]

Hey Jack! Nice cover of Desperado......but who is this Vaughan guy? LOL

[@bronzesnake7004]

LOL! I was a lead vocalist/writer for over 25 years Whip. For the first ten years my stage name was John Blackrose, and I do have a black rose tatt! PREEMPTIVE APOLOGIES for the novel you're about to ignore! You probably know that I'm an absolute menace with longed winded posts, but I can't help myselfish! LOL! I'm actually about to replace that track with a track which I've started to get closer to what the final deal will be, so there'll be less tin and more thick, mid range tones. So when you get a chance, have another listen. I'm recording all my personal all time favorite songs to help me get my vocals back in shape, but mostly because I just love these songs and have wanted to record them for many years. The first ten years or so I was playing my absolute favorite bands in all cover bands.Beatles, Wings, classic rock from 6-s - 70s That was the last gasp days of live bands in my home town Toronto - pronounced "Tron-Oh" before bars started using disc jockeys to save money. So around that time bands were scouting my ass, and I resisted for a long time because I wasn't interested in doing full originals, but when the club scene dried up, I decided to take a crack at the big burrito! So I joined a great original band and decided to take a new stage name so people wouldn't mistake the band with my past groups. I started out with Johnathon Von Bronzesnake, figuring a fiddy buck name like that was bound to fool people to thinking I was awesome! LOL!! I was getting better, and better at vocals, but my true gift turned out to be writing, and the musicians in the three or four original groups I was in back then, were always amazed at how I could write awesome songs in ten or fifteen minutes! One or two of people's favorites were completed in five minutes. LOL! Boy did I fool them!! LOL! So, one of the very best bands back then was right when "metal" took the throne, and that group were always being talked about in musician circles. So one summer we held a huge bash at the guitar players house, which was in the middle of nowhere, and so we were able to sell over 200 tickets in a week or so, and I didn't count, but the best estimation I could make was close to 350 or 400 people turned up, and we had a 10,000 watt system!! LOL! Two guys from "Another Lie" turned up, that's the band people loved and ironically, I had left a band called "White Lie" to join "Venger" which seemed very much like destiny to me! lol Any long, long story short, those two guys told me there were there to speak to me about leaving Venger to join Another Lie. It was a hard decision because of all the people I had worked with, these guys were very important, dear friends and I turned the offer down. Ian, my dear friend who was the guitar player in Venger got wind of the offer and he encouraged me to take the opportunity. He actually said I had progressed to the point where Ian truly believed I could get a real shot at the big league, and he was truly thinking about MY future and convinced me to go for it, because these opportunities don't come along very often, if at all. So, I joined and my new stage name was John Von Bronzesnake, then John Bronzesnake, and finally Vaughn Bronzesnake, which is an incredibly genius play on "Von" Bronzesnake!! ;() The End! LOL!!

[@sweetcostarica8714]

@@Bushradical No problem, I was being slightly sarcastic. For price with much higher performance, Moras are the best. They are not Ray Mears Woodlores but all Moras preform just as well yet most Moras are very affordable. The Moras that work as well or outperform the knives in the video above are the: - The *Mora Robust* (the amazing bargain bushcraft knife) - $16 USD - The *Bushcraft Black* or *Bushcraft Orange* - $46 USD - The Mora *Garberg* stainless or carbon - $76 to $100 USD Most people use the cheaper Moras ($10 to $25 USD) because they are expendable, they are economical, & how well they work in the field. In the World & the USA no wise outdoorsman would not have at least one *Mora* in his pack. Stay frosty on the post 100th Veteran's Day

[@oshaughnessyrof5201]

What was the first knife?

[@Bushradical]

I'm not sure.....I'll have to watch the video again.

[@kjgas6945]

👍👍🤠🤠

[@sargeoutdoors]

nice run down and i am right there with you with the condor knives. I own and use a few

[@Bushradical]

Right on Sarge. Good stuff and its cheap...whats not to like !

[@Marco2710x]

Cheater :-)

[@christianwilliams4795]

Love my Hudson Bay. Needs frequent sharpening but still great.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks CW! I love mine too.

[@christianwilliams4795]

What did you do to the edge on yours? I maintained the V grind but pulled it back to about double what it came with. Any more and I suspect it will start rolling more severely. Yours looks like you really thinned it down.

[@TheRingoKid]

Awesome video brother thank you very much

[@Bushradical]

Thank you CM!

[@susanstoltz2555]

Thanks to you and Brooke and your knife suggestions, I now have a Condor knife, my favorite of three. Thank you for this!

[@Bushradical]

Thanks you Susan for watching.

[@stephensgate1]

Dave? I’m still waiting for my ULU. You promised you’d save me one!! Please don’t forget me!!! -Stephen, Ohio

[@Bushradical]

After that first batch I haven't made any more but I have enough materials gathered up to do another run soon and You will be the first guy I tell when they are available.

[@stephensgate1]

Bushradical Thank you brother! I was hoping you’d say that. Thank you! -Stephen

[@Bushradical]

Hey Stephen, just to let you know I'll be putting ULU's up for sale on eBay .( April 5th) ..either tonight or tomorrow. I'll post a video announcing it later either today or tomorrow so people will have a chance to see the announcement before the UlU's go up for sale. You are the first guy who knows, just like I promised.

[@stephensgate1]

Bushradical Thank you Dave. I will be looking for them and buy one!! Thank you brother!! -Stephen

[@Bushradical]

It looks like tomorrow....I haven't got a vid shot yet.

[@LarsRibe]

Great assortment of knives! I'm surprised non of those nice old folding knives you have made it to the top 5.

[@Bushradical]

I carry the old one I fixed up in a video...but I didn't really think of it in the same way.

[@LarsRibe]

Folding knives and fixed blades are two different tools. They don't necessarily belong in the same top 5 video :-)

[@Bushradical]

Right!

[@bashfulbrother]

just found your channel. Subbed. Great video. how do I get in line for one of the ulu's?

[@Bushradical]

Good question. I'm rounding up materials for another batch right now, and I'll let everyone know when they are done.

[@bashfulbrother]

Thanks for answering. Looking forward to it.

[@sharonhammonds7769]

I'm in the market for a good knife. Where can I find the Condor brand?

[@Bushradical]

I hav links in the description if you want to find one of these on Amazon.

[@sharonhammonds7769]

Thank you.

[@garycarlson5578]

dave you know dads stuff is always better

[@Bushradical]

Right on! I used to "borrow" my dads guns and tools all the time!

[@couz10]

BK-9 is my fav for processing wood. A Beast!

[@Bushradical]

Ive seen them but I've never actually used one.

[@basemandog]

If you want a chopper, get an axe. A knife should not be “Batonned” either

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Nice picks I did this one

[@Bushradical]

thanks.

[@Shooter11B]

I am right there with you on the Condor and LT Wright knives brother!

[@Bushradical]

Right on Steven!

[@Shooter11B]

Based on your recommendation I just picked up a Condor Hudson Bay to try out. First impressions are SUPER favorable. Great blade!

[@73FORGE]

All really cool knives Dave! Cheers brother

[@Bushradical]

I think you'll like the next one

[@73FORGE]

Uh oh!!!

[@dianevillemaire8286]

[@sosteve9113]

[@Bushradical]

Thanks Steve.

[@underthecarolinasky2363]

Great review!

[@Bushradical]

Thanks UTCS!

[@arthurpraxmarer9157]

nescau radical!

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@gary8033]

Love the knives....I am a collector, have been for almost 50 years, started when I was 10. Yes, I still have that original knife. 👍👍✌

[@ratdad48]

The 3rd and fifth knife would be great secondary knives. But as a bushman myself, I like my fallkniven s1x for batoning and chopping which I do a lot when camping and hiking. The thing is a beast of a knife without being too heavy and too large.

[@funonvancouverisland]

I looove the Condor Bushlore... I totally agree with you on that one. Good choices my friend. Ps. My headlights look great now, thanks 😎 Cheers!

[@Bushradical]

Awesome!!!

[@basemandog]

Condor Knives are made in El Salvador.... No thank you. Buy quality, buy American.

[@Bushradical]

It would be great to buy 100% American but I don't make it a point to exclude El Salvador.....China on the other hand , I try to buy next to nothing from China.

[@myalternatemeswordofthefor4928]

I dont know man , Gerber is shit. Esee and Ontario and condor use 1095. Id say get a dope Finnish puukko cause they perty. Personally I use a glock 81 or a Mora or a dagger for fun. A hatchet or a machete from El Salvador cause they are the best in the world.

[@sweetcostarica8714]

You mean like a Harley-Davidson or or a Chrysler PT Cruiser? Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

[@jonathanblanton8547]

Ulu I ordered is now my wife's only knife she uses in the kitchen ever lol size was perfect for her hands

[@Bushradical]

Thats Awesome. I'm so glad ou enjoy the ULU!

[@Bushradical]

So Gald you wife likes it! Tell her we said Hi.
