You are welcome my friend. Thank you for supporting my channel from the beginning. All the best to you. Nathan.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Nathan4071 Your channel is great and very easy to support, my friend! All the best to you, too! -Dave

[@Tracy81258]

One of the things I appreciate most about your videos is that you show the most important part of any fire: proper preparation of the materials to make the fire possible. Too many people think they can just throw a bunch of wood together and it’ll light right up. It’s good to see someone setting a good example and doing it right.

[@glen432003]

Honestly one of the best knives on the planet, but expensive $200 !

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

a great gift for sure,i like the knife and the handle.the red looks great in it.take care

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Wallace Vivian Thank you for watching, my friend! It sure is an excellent gift...very kind of Nathan! I love the red liners, as well! -Dave

[@huejanus5505]

Absolutely love mine. If you take the plastic liner out, heat it a little and flatten it out so it's not so round, then cut the ears off, you'll find it drops into the sheath much better and the blade won't drag on the sheath. I like the way the meat of the handle sits right between the thumb and index finger (web)for comfortable pushing during cutting. Great review.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Michael Demers This is an excellent knife, Michael! Very interesting info on the sheath modification. I will definitely look into that! The handle is surprisingly comfortable and a pleasure to use. Thank you for watching and leaving your awesome comment! -Dave

Say Heah Dave, I found this video. I took a small set of model files I bought for a. $01.00 and lightly, (or fine sandpaper) and I mean lightly filed it so it was perfect. What a difference. It fits like a glove now. I also got the leather frog, cheap at B H and what a difference when I dangler carry it. But that plastic insert makes it alot safer. Oh the Mark's diappear on G-10.,,.

[@Airik1111bibles]

I miss your videos brother....I bought the Benchmade Bushcrafter and love it. Had to change that edge angle though , much to aggressive V grind for wood working. I hope some day we see you return .. I asked around on Bushcraft USA looking for ya , started a thread with other fans.. People are worried about ya bro. I hope ya just got burnt out and life is ok.

[@BlackRifleSurvival]

My oh my, Benchmade goodness! Wow that's a knife to be desired next to the spyderco bushcrafter you reviewed.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+BlackRifle Survival They are 2 outstanding knives, my friend! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment! Very nice to hear from you! -Dave

[@UserUnfriendly21]

Good review. Thanks for not being lazy.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leaving your nice comment! I appreciate you stopping by, my friend! Have you seen a lot of "lazy" reviews of this knife? -Dave

[@UserUnfriendly21]

Yes. Also with bushcraft/survival knives in general. I believe that "table-top" reviews have limited usefulness and are better suited to folding knives etc. Real, hands-on testing is golden.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

I couldn't agree more, my friend! Great talking with you and please don't be a stranger! It's great to have you here! -Dave

[@LouiseGardner412]

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah David, Yeah, It's still one of my Fav's, This time of the year, If I go with one of my Fav Trio's, my Wicked Tough Saw and my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet, To get through the brambles, I bring my Rodent Rucki. I have a shoulder or over the shoulder harness carry for it so I can still do my thing whether I'm Scouting or having my Afternoon Delight and still cover all my bases of clearing my way through. Yeah David a thumbs up from me.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching and the thumbs up, my friend! This is an excellent knife! -Dave

[@survivorjohnny44]

That's a really nice knife and I like the sheath too. Nice showcase for your skills here brother

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+John “survivor johnny” Tewelow It's an excellent knife, my friend! The sheath is nice but I don't think it's the best for this particular knife. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment, brother! Great to hear from you! -Dave

[@survivorjohnny44]

+HighCarbonSteel Love I understand. Just cuz the sheath is good looking doesn't mean a thing if the knife doesn't slide in it right. Anyway Joey will prob make you one that's way better

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

John Tewelow I believe Joey is currently on a break so we'll make due with what we have, brother! Not the best sheath, but not terrible either. -Dave

[@guncotton1950]

A very generous gift from Nathan and perhaps the nicest knife Benchmade produces I would like to buy one but patience is required by me at this point - cheers Dave

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+guncotton 1 Nathan is awesome and I agree, I think this one over the other knives made by Benchmade. I know exactly what you mean...patience is always required by me, too, my friend! Thank you for watching! -Dave

[@elrabbitstacticalreviewsl3737]

That is a beautiful blade Dave. Also i have all ways been amazed how Meticulous you go about fire making. Cheers my friend!!........... keep up the great work.

Hi Dave hoping you are well and good as well as your family. I am really impressed with that knife, I am not familiar with that particular knife so I was really intrigued, the handle looks incredibly comfortable, man what a beautiful knife from another great channel and contributer to the community, Nathan 4071. Thanks Dave.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+BrightWater Bushcraft Everything is well and I hope the same for you and yours, my friend! It's an excellent knife and very heavy duty and comfortable. I would have liked a scandi grind on it but that's no big deal! I agree, Nathan is awesome! I appreciate you taking the time to watch, brother! -Dave

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

That is a sweet Benchcraft. I like those red spacers, they set the handle off very nicely. But the sheath is super, really like that a lot. I am mostly into folders but I am smart enough to get a real bush knife for going camping in the woods. Great channel, I like your axe videos too, not many people are making good videos on axes. All the best guys!!

[@Airik1111bibles]

I LOVE that knife especially the aqua or blue green colored one it compliments the leather sheath very nicely. Sure makes some nice feathers, but we all know that its mainly your bushcraft Jedi knight skills😁 Its that knife where one says "That's it! that's the knife Ive been searching for" then one says "Oh wow that's expensive guess my searching isn't over" LOL

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

I completely agree about the price, my friend! I was fortunate to receive this as a gift, as I probably would not purchase it for that type of money. Great to hear from you, my friend! -Dave

Never seen a gray handle one, mine is the FDE EOD 344 out 500 first production model, I like the black handle limited edition the best

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, I know your going to like the Bushcrafter 162. I got mine when it first came out, and it's a very First Production Run I did take a very fine sandpaper to the handle to make it a perfect semetrical fit handle and made it fit's my hand perfectly like a custom handle, But very, very little and the sanding goes away on the G-10, I also attached a leather frig which I git from battle horse for $10.00 I dint remember, but Eugene also has them. because he has the same knife, But yeah, It's one of NY Fav's. ,, .

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

It's an excellent knife! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Copy that. ,, .

[@KnifeRev]

Nice knife, agree with you about the sheath, it would have been nice to see a bushcraft type sheeth that seats the knife deep with no strap. Still a very nice knife.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+KnifeRev Very well said, my friend! A bit of a wider, deeper classic bushcraft sheath with no strap would have been great! The knife itself is very nice! -Dave

[@gregstritch9736]

Great posting. Thanks for sharing. I think comparisons of the new steel chemistry/metallurgy with more traditional carbon blades is akin to comparing vintage aircraft with modern high performance aircraft. I appreciate the older metallurgy and all of my working blades are simple carbon steel between sixty and one hundred and sixty years old. This offering by Benchmade USA and some of the custom work by Dan Eastland at Dogwood Customs are wildly attractive as well as the new metallurgy offerings from Mora. Again, thanks for sharing. Greg

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Greg Stritch Thank you for the kind words, Greg! Of course, I prefer carbon blades but stainless isn't bad, especially when a stainless blade is a gift..haha! I appreciate you stopping by, my friend! -Dave

[@gregstritch9736]

+HighCarbonSteel Love My favorite three as you may remember are my grandpa's J Robison, a 6" Old Hickory and my 60's Frost #6 (like the Mora 612). Can't beat high C for ease of use and maintenance. Recently ordered a Kephart style in powdered steel from Dan Eastland at Dogwood. First custom project for me All the best. Greg

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Greg Stritch I remember! Let me know how the custom project goes, brother! -Dave

[@billandrews]

For the price paid for the 162, you can pick up a Enzo "Trapper" in Elmax steel. Not as stain resistant and stainless, but really good stain resistants, plus the best edge retention in the business.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

I actually received this knife as a gift, however, I love this knife! Edge retention is excellent and made in the USA! Thank you for taking the time to stop by! -Dave

[@snaponjohn100]

Dave my friend, I never get tired of watching your videos. You have such an engaging personality. That is rare these days. I have that knife, and love it. I put it in a Battle Horse Knives leather sheath. Dan Copins wife makes the sheaths for them. She does and excellent job. I buy them for all of my Bark River Knives... Love the knives, hate the sheaths. If I still have your ph. #, I will take a picture and text or email it to you. God bless you and your wife. John

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+snaponjohn100 Thank you for the very kind words, John and I am very happy to hear that you enjoy my videos! That is a tremendous compliment coming from you! Sounds like some excellent sheaths that you have made! Wouldn't if be nice if all bushcraft knives came with simple, JRE type leather sheaths? My best to you and your family, as well, my friend! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, I just took my B M Bushcrafter 162 out a week or so ago. All I did was a minor tune up because it was put away in good condition. I have to say, It is one of my Fav's especially when I go with either of my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet or my Warbeast Tomahawk. But I had it out for a short spin today with my Fox Bushcraft Parang. Just to see if it would be good with it. Over last weekend, I teamed it with my Frost Mora Clipper. So today I teamed my Bushcrafter 162 and surprisingly it sort of color matches too. So another knife I can add when using my Fox Bishcraft Parang. I bought the Bushcrafter 162 when it first came out. Infact I have the very First Production Run #299 out of 500. Would I still buy the knife know what I know after using it, Absolutely, a definite yes. The only thing I did to the Sheath beside treat it, I added a leather belt loop that attaches to the d-ring that makes it a dangler, and that's it. The Sheath is still going string and appears it will hold up for a long time. I really like my Bushcrafter 162 and its one if my Fav's. I have no fear splitting kindling apparatus by twisting it in wood, I also like the High Grind in it because I have it very sharp, as you know, stripping will bed tge edge, so all in all, I really like it. As the weather gets warmer, I will go more into a Trio Carry, like I said, with either my Double Bit Hatchet or Three Edge Sided Tomahawk, and my Bacho Laplander, I'll prolly bring a pocket knife with something to untangle paracord and a good can opener on it. I like Pork and Beans with a good quality Hot Dog with mustard and onions, The scenery is there and it just doesn't get any better. I just ordered some more Torano Noventa La Esperenza cigars that I'm sure will hit the spot. But I'm a little surprise you don't use the Benchmade 162 as much, I mostly see you use your Mira in most of your videos, and yet you have a fine knife in that B M Benchmade 162 and that Spyderco Bushcraft Knife. If you want to sell them, talk to me. Yeah, I also brought out my Blind Horse Bushcrafter, Its a 4" blade in O1 and a Scandi Gribd, I had the handle flattened, with the rounded corners, Its not smaller just flatter and not round, I feel I have alot better control with that type of handle. I also had the handle polished, with those fisheye rivers make it look like a high priced Kephart. I also have a beautiful dangler square bottom Sheath. so matching the 2Hawks chopper match great also same as my B M Bushcrafter 162. well, again for now, Asta La Vista, Amigo.,,.

[@DobermansRock]

Bro this guy has #299 of 500. Mad respect to that grab for the loot.

[@danofiremano]

I've been fondling this blade at my local BM Dealer store for a while now and like you the sheath has held me back. Seems like the edge might cut into the retention strap if you're not careful. If I end up with one, I'll mod that with a piece of shock cord.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

It's a tremendous knife and the sheath isn't great, but it's serviceable. Thank you for watching! -Dave

[@danofiremano]

I finally got mine and as soon as I got it home I did the mod I talked about and I'll never have to worry about cutting it. Now to save up for a nicer sheath, but like you said it's serviceable!

[@Theoutdoorproject80]

Great knife it's one of my favorite knives, great video good fire , I want to make a bow drill fire soon

[@christianwilliams4795]

I just fondled one of these at REI today. I actually wasn't happy with the handle. Very blocky in a way that made me wish it wasn't blocky. I've got an old hickory that is literally a block but it way its shaped makes the blockyness feel secure. That might be just me but I wish they'd chamfered the scales more.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Its an excellent knife but the handle isn't for everyone. I find it comfortable, however, some people don't. Thank you for taking the time to stop by! -Dave

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Let me know what you come up with, Thomas! Thank you for watching and leaving your awesome comment! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, Yeah you know that I like my Benchmade #162 Bushcrafter. I also always liked the S. O. G. Fix Blades with the Camel Hump's. Those's kind of knives were also used in Nam by Special Forces and Tunnel Rat's. Anyhow I have the Seal Pup Elite and my Trident 2.0. Both in the AUS8a. A inexpensive stainless but with the Cryo S. O. G. does to it, It's pretty good. But I just got the S. O. G. Pillar Fix Blade. They stepped it up by making it in the CPM S35Vn. Yeah, it also has a Choil so it offers alot if task specific's. I know you will like it. Yeah, Check it out. I used it in a basic trio carry. I added my Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe and my Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal Saw in the Crazy Horse Scabbard with a extra saw blade. A real nice basic Trio. Seriously, Dave, I really like my S. O. G. Pillar Fix Blade, That's why I posted this, I know you'll like it too. It does L@@K TactiKewl, But it also works great in the Bush, It's becoming one of my Fav's.,,. p kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5LbeIGHepqNgqM God Bless America, Happy 4th of July.,,. p

[@stockholm1752]

Interesting, after sparking, does contact between the blade and the ferro rod make a difference? Is it the heat or residue or what?

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Its a combination of both, my friend! Thank you for taking the time to stop by! -Dave

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

You're right. The handle doesn't look that comfortable. I'll have to give one a try though.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Love the sheath love the blade hate the handle :p

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+MISTER AGB Interesting...I wasn't sure if I would like the handle but I didn't find it too bad at all. Thank you for watching, my friend! -Dave

[@misteragb7558]

HighCarbonSteel Love Yeah I actually made that comment befor watching the actual video haha, I trust you for your word. I believe you when you admit the sheath looks very nice but say it's just not that good. Also when you say the handle is better then it looks ;) in some way I still agree with my comment, when we talk about aestetics I still hate the handle for the looks. Cheers

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

MISTER AGB Haha, definitely not the prettiest handle. -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Say Hrah, Excellent knife but I had to "Do it my way" I filed off ever so slightly the corners to be ever so slightly rounder, I stress SLIGHTLY. I alway's wondered why Benchmade never finished the Dangler Sheath. But, yeah, I got the rest of the dangler from Battle Horse Knives, It's the Frog that leather piece that your belt goes through, It's very inexpensive, but made a world of difference. Yeah its much better to wear the Bushcrafter #162 lower on the dangle. As far as the handle, Mine naturally possition in my hand that I can almost plane wood which is awesome. Yeah its one of my Fav's, especially after I put the frog on, surprisingly it matches very good too.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+paulie 4x Sounds like some awesome mods, my friend, especially on the sheath! Thank you for watching! -Dave

Oh it was nithing, sand paper would work real good, just don't take too much off, I just smoothed it a very little bit and I mean a little is all it took to feel perfect. The Frog from Battle Horse made the Sheath wear a Google times better lover on the dangler.

+paulie 4x I don't mind the handle at all but it sounds like it fits you well! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

If yours feels a bit boxy and you feel the cirner, sand just a very little off and believe me the G-10 hides the sanding real good you won't be able to tell but it will feel great.

[@paulie4x1]

Fine sandpaper nothing cource, you want to do it lightly. I used a fine file on mine

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Nice knife Brother! Just wondering... Does the sheath come with the fero rod for that holder? Great video and great fire! Thanks Dave.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Jon Cochran Thank you for watching and leaving your nice comment, Jon! The sheath does include the ferro rod holder, but I don't think it includes the rod itself. I believe that Nathan included it with the knife. Great question, my friend! -Dave

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Thanks for answering...

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Jon Cochran Thank you for stopping by, my friend! Nice talking with you! -Dave

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Likewise...

[@realmetis8002]

how would you compare it to the spiderco bushcrafter

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+real metis This is a very nice knife, but I prefer the Spyderco. Scandinavian grind, different handle design, 01 carbon tool steel and a nicer sheath are the main reasons why, however, the Benchmade is an excellent knife! -Dave

[@realmetis8002]

i just got a real steel bushcrafter in d2 and man im so impressed for 60 buck shipped here to canada i recommend you look into it for the fun of it thank you for the reply take care

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

real metis Thank you for the heads up, my friend! I will look into it! -Dave

[@realmetis8002]

right on bro

[@bobsundquist2039]

I have had a problem with chipping on mine and I have cut the sheath. A little disappointed with it.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Sorry to hear about the chipping, Bob. I haven't had that problem, however, I have cut the sheath many times. It's too bad, because its a very nice sheath but the size is definitely off a bit. -Dave

[@bobsundquist2039]

I have 2 $12.00 Moras that did not chip an edge processing firewood. I have a couple Schrades as well and no issues. The Benchmade chipped an edge. Poor heat treated in the beginning.

[@alfonsocasillas7290]

Nice knife a little high on the price

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Alfonso Casillas Thank you for watching, Alfonso! I agree about the price, which makes the gift even more awesome! -Dave

Say Heah Dave, my sheath came with a plastic guard, you might want to call Benchmade I think your missing the blade guard in the sheath. ,, .

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

LOL...it's not problem my friend, as I was able to adjust! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Seriously Dave, they will send you one. ,, .

[@kenimus]

Review ur paracord bracelet on right hand

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

I don't know much about the specs of the bracelet because it was sent to me by a friend, but I would be happy to any questions you do have and I will try to give a closer look in an upcoming video! Thank you for watching! -Dave

[@JeepJeep234]

Benchmade makes amazing knives, but then when it comes to the sheaths...

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Hahah...I agree, my friend, however, at least they do provide a leather sheath. It may not be the best but it is leather and looks nice. Thank you for taking the time to watch! -Dave

[@arshanmostafavi9621]

Vulcanized spacers? I think a Star Trek nerd may have named this knife.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Haha...yes you are exactly right! Wanted to just call them liners but at the same time, I wanted to use Benchmade's terminology. Thank you for watching and leaving your awesome comment! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah, if your Sheath doesn't have a plastic liner to protect the Sheath from being cut, call B M they will send you one with a liner, I have the phone # if you need it.,,.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]
