A bit of misinformation in this video. The tracker knife was not designed buy Tom Brown Jr. He wis given the original knife buy a maker and claimed it as his own.
It’s for opening beer
I’ve been wanting an S1 for a long time but the chipping complaints I’ve seen online have kept me from pulling the trigger, glad to see you’ve had no issues
The blades can be a little chippy but the convex grind seems to mitigate that. I have an S1 and it’s a great knife too. I don’t think the chipping is so bad in real world knife testing.
Great review! 👍 Rob’s knives are the best scandi knives I’ve used. He knows what works.
Any word from tops knives about a release date of th ERSK knife? What is the blade length? Anxious to get my hands on one. Be well
I've just received the elmax version, it'll be interesting to see how well it does. Some good safety tips that are often forgotten. Thanks.
Alone season 10 winner carried the speedy sharpe. I would have taken it as well, it does take off alot of metal when sharpenig blades but would work just fine.
On a less serious note: I bet the fine motor skills of a Neanderthal were pretty spectacular 😅
@@growingwild8860 ha ha ye, this is true and funny! Thanks for dropping by
As I added to my knife collection, I learned about the Swedish military choosing the FALLKNIVEN F1 as their pilot’s survival knife, so naturally I just had to have one and did buy one. There’s a degree of confidence that goes with carrying a knife that a country chose for their military pilots.
Sorry more than half the time I can’t tell a word your saying, try talking to the camera not the floor. Either that or the sound on this video is terrible even though I can hear the birds fine.
To be fair, this video has suited more than 2600 people and not you, however your presence is not necessary here, nor do you have to endure the video either. So I would suggest to move along if it doesn’t suit you. Thank you!
@@eagleridge1972just before I move along I’d like to ask how you reconcile the Casstrom Lars Falt knife when you “absolutely detest skeleton tangs”???.. Oh, and I hope you don’t talk to your students like that, a man who can’t take a little criticism is pretty sad. Bye!
Great video, thank you and greetings from a fellow Celt in Cornwall.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
first time viewer I really enjoyed this video and I have a couple of Folks that I love.
Awesome! Thank you!
I agree with all your talking points and also agree that the F1 meets all criteria. Get a zytel sheath and now you also don't have to worry about the sheath getting dirty. If I want to do a lot of wood whittling all day long I bring a knife with a more rounded and thicker handle but the F1 is my 'just in case knife'. If you want to keep a scandi to zero bevel it's actually a lot of work, you need some serious tools, you will have to remove some serious material and that's time consuming also. If I'm gonna use a knife that's scandi to zero I put a secondary convex bevel on it before even taking it out in the bush.
I have a substantial knife collection. But i always come backbto my fallkniven F1. Small, lighy, easy to carry and oh so capable. I made myself a kydex sheath to wear it slightly higher on my belt. Witch is nice if i dont use a backpack.
Hello, I'm interested in your content, how can I contact you?
Great review. I put the spine on a grinder because the Shango notch is a joke. With that change though it’s a great bushcraft survival knife.
Personally, I think a good striker is more important than a good ferro rod. I use a high speed steel striker and it's a game changer. I'm going to buy this Speedy Sharp and see if it's just as good. Great vid!
Great video, very informative too. I enjoyed my No2, it was my most used knife in my collection. Time I got another one after I lost mine during in my last house move. It’s funny how we get attached to our well used tools/items, they hold many memories
Only a suicidal fool would trust their life to a mora no1 or 2 in a survival situation
Excellent
Thanks
I still to this day believe the Fallkniven F1 is the finest production belt knife currently on the market. If it was the only knife made in the world I dont think we would miss out on much.
Love it
@@eagleridge1972 I am jealous of your ATS-34 German made F1. That is the only iteration of the knife I have not been able to own. Currently my only one is one of the full tang blanks with micarta scales on it that was a gift from my wife. This video has made me think I need to order a standard F1 in Lam COS.
Great knife
I completely agree.
i enjoyed this video so much can i ask you your opinion on karasuandokniven i have their small axe and the light fixed blade knife i find the little hatchet as its called very versatile its a knife on a stick
Excellent video! Just curious if you are going to do a follow-up video on the Gossman Polaris knife you have. That grind is completely different than either of the grinds you covered in this video.
Yes I definitely will soon another great knife
@eagleridge1972 Excellent. Thank you Sir.
I’m on my second F1 as well, about eight years ago, learnt my first one to my brother when where in Killarney of course he in lost it . But he was good enough to replace it with another one
What's your favorite or favorites, from all the knives you've tried please?!
I think I will address this in my next video, great idea.
Great video🙂 I love moras because they are so light!
Thanks so much Graham means a lot for the good positive vibes.
Thoughts and prayers for your mother! Thanks to Natalie Take care Graham
😊 Great Nuggets of Info as always
Really nice 👍🏻 I have his mk 2🙂
I have this knife and I like it a lot.
The full tang version is significantly more expensive. As a practical matter, why should anyone pay more? That is, under what actual usage conditions would the regular fail so that you would really need the full tang? 0:19

Hi, this is UHC version?
I believe so because UHC is etched on blade but my understanding was it wasn't supposed to be.
Can you please share what knife you broke at the tang? I am considering the Architect 6.5 but am reconsidering because it is skeletonized.. the downside is that the ESEE 5 1095, but the architect is 3v steel. Can you share your thoughts?
7:32 that’s true
Surprised by this review, my information is that the tang on this knife is heavily skeletonised? Maybe you know differently??
You are correct it is indeed very much skeletonised, and I generally shy away from such constriction but in fairness it gas stood up well
I have the stainless as well as the carbon garberg. I respect both of them.
I've given myself a dilemma by getting a Genisis in both Scandi and flat grind. I find myself struggling to decide which one I want to take. The flat is so good for slicing but that scandi just hogs through wood.
Nice vid! 👍 LT makes fantastic knives! Of my LT’s, aI use the Lagom the most, but each have a place.
Love the shape, but I would like to have it bigger with an 8.5" to 10" blade and 1/2" wider. So it look like a mini sword.😅
I’m new to your channel it all makes sense on what you’re saying about the knife that you want to rely on when you have a life situation to get fire and shelter great video thanks will keep watching your videos
I can tell you’re a great instructor, thank you for sharing all your insights! You always need a good trout knife! (Of course you got to catch them first haha) I always really enjoy your down to earth videos. LT makes fantastic knives for sure. After listening closely to what you feel makes a good knife I can tell we look at things pretty similarly. I do my own survival and Bushcraft classes and I decided to design and produce my own knife a couple years ago. It’s been a good time learning the skill and I think I’m really getting it dialed in, if you’re interested I’ve got some videos of it over on my channel. Thanks for another good video!
Yeeeeesssssss!!!!! Finally !! Man that ,,,its not a one tool option its a one tool with no options!!! Man that hit hard!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this video!!!
Thanks so much for dropping by
Excellent review! Getting a used Garberg I got at a good price in the mail soon. Also, I completely agree with your view on Scandi grinds, and I disagree with the idea that there such a thing as a "true" scandi. As a Scandinavian person I've seen many different variations on grinds. Many are slightly hollow, slightly convex, or more like a saber grind. The zero grind Scandi, while very effective at woodcarving, makes many knives lose their versatility in my opinion. Now a Garberg might actually be able to handle it, since it's got decently thick blade stock and the primary grind angle is quite obtuse (compared to many, especially vintage, Scandi knives). Very refreshing to hear someone else say these things as many in the online Bushcraft community seem to think a microbevel is always bad. I don't agree that a fulltang is a must though, but then again I'm not really into the whole survival thing. Have a nice weekend!
What is better the 3v steel or rwl34?
Great rundown and review! I remember watching your original Genesis video a while back. Just curious. How do you sharpen and maintain your Genesis knives? I have seen people comment many times that a Scandi ground to zero like a Genesis is only good for working with soft wood, and that they would chip out really easily if hitting bone when skinning game or batoning and be terrible for any type food prep. You seem to go against that, using it for more than just wood, but also survival in general and you also mentioned that it's your hunting knife. Do you happen to find any of this to be true? Do you do anything special sharpening wise to make sure the Scandi grind is not so delicate? I know LTWK grinds these to zero, then does their hard micro buff. Is regular sharpening then maintaining on a strop in between sharpening enough, or would adding a micro-bevel like Mora does be a necessity? Thank you!
My Genesis in A2 steel was indeed a bit chippy just with carving harder woods like locust. After sharpening out the micro chips, I gave it a hard strop, which added a convex micro edge. Much more stable now with a great edge and micro chips haven’t been and issue now that it is no longer a zero grind. My LT knives in O1 and AEB-L haven’t been chippy at all.
I ordered a MK24. Can't wait
