Fixed blades are the outside working mans/farmer's companion. I was an engineer building large power transformers for ten years, mechanic through high school and college few years after, now farming where I cut my teeth on hard work as a child, my dad gave me my first blade at age 5, and I've been in love ever since, through all careers a goos knife has been a must.

I own two of every Swiss Tech “Walmart” knife. They are PHENOMENAL VALUES and are exceptionally well made and durable. These are the real deal. I just ordered this new one thanks to your video.
@igregmart5 ай бұрын
Never heard of Swiss Tech. I'm a buck knife and leather sheath fan for fixed blades. I have to disagree with the notion that being real sharp(shaving sharp) is not essential on a so-called bushcraft knife. The number one necessity for ANY real knife is sharpness, because knifes are NOT hatchets.
@brawndothethirstmutilator98484 ай бұрын
It’s D2 steel. It will take an edge that is very sharp. How sharp is a function of the sharpening skill of the owner with everything but absolute junk steel.

Swiss tech has been around awhile, surprised you haven't heard of them. They are usually right next to buck knives in any shop or selection. They get sharp as hell, but you have to do it yourself on the cheaper ones, as they sell them in places like Walmart and stores where a lawsuit is a real concern. Get one, they are fairly cheap, very useful for many things.

The bowie knife we know of as a bowie today is most likely NOT what Jim bowie used that day. Any large knife I'm the old west became a Jim bowie until one was held above others. All knives then were made by a small black Smith, only one made, and we never will know what Jim bowie had in his hand that day.

Thanks for doing this review. I'm new to your channel. I've been bushcrafting since the mid 80s, and I flintknap, so I don't always use "modern" knives, but I do use them quite a bit, specifically for bushcrafting I especially like low-cost surprises, like the Gerber Bear Grylls knife and a couple of different Ontario Knives options. I carry a Gerber 600 folder that I've carried all over the planet since 1991. I also still carry my Kabar, even though I ABSOLUTELY HATE the rat tail tang.

It's Black Parkerizing. Eliminates the reflection of light off polished steel. Excellent for use on carbon steel blades to prevent rust. That's all it is. Now as to the knife, it looks good. But only a torture test will determine if it is worthy of being called a Bush/Survival knife.

Made to look like a Bechmade Bushcrafter 162 Carbon fiber.... 1/10 the price.... With a BK2 like blade... A decent camp knife, perhaps. The BPS knife is well made and the sheath alone is worth the price of the knife. I would recommend it over the Swiss Tech, for sure. You can get their camp knife for about the same price, if you look.... I got one for $42 earlier this year in 1066.. Looks good.... If it is made in Taiwan, I would be more likely to buy... They also have a Kephart style in VG10 steel with a nice "broomstick" style handle for about $50. Would made a better bushcraft knife, I think.
