Hi Rob, long time quiet from this side. Been busy with stuff. I know you're a purist and a master at your craft. Watching you baton down that log, I couldn't help thinking whether it would not be simpler to just use a couple of wedges cut from that hazel, and it would be kinder to the knife? But I guess you were testing the knife so just an idle thought. Still using my Trail Master, and each time just love using the sheath! Seeing the one in this video and your comment gave me a good laugh! Go well Rob, and regards to the Missus!

Round wasn't that big, knife easily coped with it, I used wedges on the last knife review because it was a 2.5mm blade

I believe the other setting is for handling the saw for under cutting

Dear Rob, please consider that there are more ways to make feathers, a very good one beeing holding the knife fixed against your knee/shin... it s not fair-play to try just one way and claim it s not good for that. All the best!!!

Are you a new viewer? Only asking because I've done that many times and stuck in a log. The knife digs in that's it in a nutshell. Trust me, if the convex was on the other side it would be fine , there's a short follow up video coming later today.

One side convex, second side of the flat grind is typical for Yakut knives. In case of Yakut knife right hand knife has convex on left side and flat on the right side. Looking from observer point of view, holding the knife in hand, tip pointing in forward direction

Not a manufacturer I’m familiar with, I had to Google them. When you were describing the grind I thought that might be a left handed knife, then sure enough you mentioned it yourself. I was surprised they do actually do a left hand version, but then why would it have a right hand sheath? Could be a mistake on their part, maybe they supplied the wrong knife.
@RobEvansWoodsmanАй бұрын
They sent two knives but both are identical, one came in a rather sexy box This one didn't.

Isnt that the grind for the Yakutian knives? The convex on one end and a flat on the other?
@alexandergutfeldt1144Ай бұрын
Isn't the Yakutian knife hollowed out, like a rounded fuller, on the 'flat' side? Or am I remembering another knife style?
@RobEvansWoodsmanАй бұрын
Is that the Russian grind?
@RobEvansWoodsmanАй бұрын
Seems like it must be as several people have mentioned it, why would they use a kitchen knife grind on a utility knife which they brand as a bushcraft knife.

Without wishing to put you on the spot Rob, how would you say this knife compares against the Nomad NKW Meister? Apples and oranges with the grind geometry; but what’s your overall feeling if pushed on one knife or the other?
@RobEvansWoodsmanАй бұрын
Nomad 100% but I still think that handle is too slim for me.
@andrewcraggs85Ай бұрын
Excellent review, interesting concept, perhaps asymmetric grinds are more suited to more specialist applications. Definitely not a patch on your own knife designs. Your attention to detail is second to none.
