Knifetime Story
США
Добавлен 1 дек 2020
This channel was created so I could unabashedly share my thoughts on cutlery. Though not a review channel per se, you will learn about different knives. How to modify, care for, sharpen, fix, and some history and insight all with complete honesty and humor. Comments about my humor are the most common. Hey, videos need to be fun and light. Otherwise, they are like watching Defensive Driving courses. I have no sponsors and am beholden to no one. Anything I break is tossed in the trash and never sent in for warranty claims. My folly, my dime.
If you see a knife in a video that you would like to buy, it would really help my channel if you went to my Storefront on Amazon and purchased it there www.amazon.com/shop/knifetimestory.
That makes it so it is easier for me to continue to purchase knives for the channel and keep on keeping on as they say. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!

Bark River Knives Gunny LT in Magnacut. Did BRK Get It Right?
After swearing off Bark River Knives, I stumbled upon this Gunny LT with a Magnacut blade and Lager G-10 handles. There was just something about the handle of this knife that really attracted me. I also wanted to have an example of Magnacut by Bark River to see if it is truly Magnacut, behaves like Magnacut, and has a good heat treat. The Gunny is my favorite pattern. Not sure why , but it really is a great size and if done properly, the handle is very comfortable for long periods of work. Watch and see if this was a good purchase, or if I have yet another reason to boycott Bark River.

How to buy an IZULA II with S35VN
Просмотров 751День назад
You never know when fate will step in and something you treasure will be lost, stolen, or broken. Will you have a backup? What will you do in the meantime while you find a replacement? The best solution I have found over the years is to simply own two. In the case of the Izula, while I technically own two, my end goal was to actually own a stainless Izula and a stainless Izula II. Thanks to the...

The Surprising Truth Behind This Idea

Have you ever seen something and instantly knew you were going to recreate it? That is how I felt with this knife. Just as in any art form, be it music, sculpture, or painting, ideas are "borrowed" and then adapted. It's been said that there are no new stories and that there really are only seven, and everything else is simply an adaptation. I believe that. When I saw Van's Swiss Army Knife, I ...

Which Buck 110 Fits Me Best? Uncover Now
You can pull the strap up straight and there's a dog leg that holds it. Most of the time. But your right. So is the guy who says all leather sheaths suck. Were supposed to be advanced right. Even some early bowies in colonial times had silver one piece sheaths.
and if you actually use the knife you might have an honest opinion of it.......... .
Oh look… It’s Mr. peach fuzz again. Low T. Bummer. Thanks for stopping by, always great to see you.
@@knifetimestory anything but admit you review knives you have never used. democrat
Hi, here in the UK you can just about carry a non locking , finger chopping, folding knife with a blade of 3 inches or less. Anything that locks or is fixed without a solid reason could get you into a load of trouble.
Come to the uk just bringing in some even crazy laws
Not SV35N
What do you mean?
I love bark River but the sheaths... If a beautiful woman dresses in clothes from Walmart is she actually beautiful?
Young Thomas Rodriguez Jennifer Hall Shirley
I have no flipping idea what this comment means? Would you care to elaborate?
Looks like its been possessed by the old kabar because of the handle. Love it. Great job!
Thanks for your comment! The handle definitely gives it a unique character. Glad you love it!
You should have entitled the video”which Buck 110 fits me best. Let me ramble random at ya.”
OK… I will change it.
I love esse knives ,but the softness of their steel is insane. I guess it is just 1095. I feather one stick ,and I have to sharpen it again. I know my carbon and stainless mora knives go dull ,but I can still cut the hell out of wood because of the edge geometry (scandi grind). Maybe esse knives are just for cutting Marshmallows.
Haha, maybe we should start an Esse knife marshmallow cutting challenge! Who knew they’d be the ultimate dessert tool?
Man, I thought I was the only one. You pretty much described my feelings and experience with BRK. My first one, purchased through Knives Ship Free, arrived dull. As in, not sharp at all. Even though I could've sharpened it, I sent it back just out of the principle of the matter. Years later I gave BRK another chance. Did all my purchasing through eBay. I went through a few of them, some decent, some with problems. I gave them all away. And then I saw the Canadian leaf-shaped blade UP Gunny. Found one on eBay with green canvas Micarta scales and had to have it. Left the lame leather sheath in the box and had a Yellow Hawk Custom Kydex sheath made for it. Pretty much the only BRK I will care to own despite it having some imperfections. Oh well. Happy National Knife Day!
I had a UP Gunny, but it was called the UP EDC. I found the handle to blade geometry to be a little awkward. Mine was in A2 and after I got an edge on it, it worked great. But, I just could not get comfortable with the small handle. Glad you have one you like!!
I got lucky on all my Bark rivers. I have reservations on buying more though because all the bad reviews. Yes, my knives are save queens because clinical OCD is tricky. LOL. I really love Battle horse knives today. The spines have a really strong burr on both sides. You can even cut yourself if you are not careful.
It's great to hear you had a good experience with Bark Rivers! It's always wise to do your research before making a purchase, especially when reviews can vary so much. Battle Horse knives definitely have a reputation for quality, just be cautious with those spines!
Bought one about ten years ago. Kalahari hunter in A2 with antique stag scales. Zero convex. Wouldn't hold an edge long enough to field dress one deer. The Great Lakes Leather sheath didn't last one weekend on my hip before the stitching started to tear on the belt loop. Now it's a $300 paper weight. Meanwhile my $35 Buck 110 Light is light saber sharp, holds decent, sharpens easy and the synthetic sheath is holding up fine after five years with tons of carry time.
Man, that's a bummer about the Kalahari! At least your Buck 110 is still rocking it! Sometimes the budget options surprise you, huh?
A BRK with good fit and finish, unbelievable
Unbelievable, right? It's like finding a unicorn in a sea of donkeys!
bashing bark river is a YT fad and its a cry babies errand. the frigging knife is meant to be used. lol they arent safe queens. they are supposed to be used not starred at all day. these YT BR cry babies make me laugh. omg your nit picking everything. lol. seriously go buy an esee. i had a gunny with elk handle it was the most fantasic knife i ever had. and your dumb standard you would have went and cried about the scales not being even. the scales were triangular and bulky it fit in my hand like a glove. but you would have never used it. went on YT and bashed it. and here it was a frigging miraculous knife and wouldnt dull. go make a "which esee is right for you video please." you suck. please stop lol
Thanks for the algorithm boost. Looking forward to your next installment.
you were not burned 20 times i call bullshit. go get an esee. ive had 7 bark rivers. one was messed up. i had a gunny scandi that literally wouldnt dull. the aurora bravo and 1.5 are tip top. i have a bravo in crew wear its insane the edge retention is incredible. i see a lot of people who never used the frigging knife cry about a 1/8th grind height difference. the internet is full of Bark river cry babies who need to go away and buy an esee and sharpen it every other use. like these people crying have never even used the frigging knife i can tell. they buy the knife never use it, cry on YT then try to sell it on Ebay for more than what they paid. its pathetic. i dont doubt you had some bad knives. 20? .... spare me. 20?
I have 3. And they all were fine. I have to agree with you. People looking for something to talk about. Lmao.
Coming from a guy who can't be bothered with proper capitalization or punctuation, it's clear you are not very detail-oriented or able to observe the finer details of anything, let alone knives, and are easily pleased. You are also clearly new here and have not seen any of my other videos concerning BRK, or read any other comments supporting my calling out of their lax quality. Regardless, thanks for watching, and good luck with that beard. 😂
@@knifetimestory your reviewing a knife having never used it. your a bark river Karen. ive noticed only triggered left wing demon democrats care about punctuation on frigging social media and YT....Attack of the Bark river cackling kamala karen cry babies. like i said go get an esee in 1095. please do a "which esee is right for you video" bro your beard looks like a rug on someones floor in iraq. hahahahahah cry more

Wow. You are a hoot!
I also like exposed buts.
Spelling counts!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats why I like LT Wright so much. Everyone is nearly perfect and are a bit less expensive. On top of that LT is much friendlier than Mike at Bark River.
Right? LT Wright is like the friendly neighbor who always has the best snacks, while Mike at Bark River is more of a “keep-off-my-lawn” type! 😂
@@knifetimestory good point.
@@knifetimestory Have you ever looked into the unscrupulous past between him and Ethan Becker? Let's just say it's not flattering to MS.
@@LubberKing LT Wright makes very fine knives. Mike Stewart has always been exceptionally friendly with me over a period of many years. Other folks at Bark River have also been very pleasant when helping me. 🤷🏻♂️
@@ROE1300 ok?
Where can we get help to stop buying knives?
Well, I hear there's a 12-step program called "Cutting Back"-but just remember, no sharp objects are allowed in the meetings!
Never bought a bark river although looked several times. Something about them just annoyed me. Maybe because they seem to want to make 47 variations of the same knife. I only need a few fancier fixed blades and I’ve been very satisfied with my 3 l.t. Wright knives. Well made, fairly priced, good attention to detail. Nice vid.
Ah, the classic dilemma of "do I really need another knife that looks almost the same?" It's like Bark River decided to make a new flavor of ice cream for every day of the year! Glad you found your perfect match with L.T. Wright!
@@knifetimestory yeah combined with I didn’t like the guy who owns the company at least based on his videos. Lately I ve been focusing on good quality cheaper folders. Recently bought a Kizer amicus which I highly recommend.
I've had 3 Kizers. Notice that reads "had". Just can't warm up to them. Sure...fit and finish is great, but I just have not had one that gave me that warm and fuzzy!!!
@@knifetimestory I’m generally not crazy about the Chinese knives. I like the amicus because it has both the button lock and the flipper. A true one handed for both opening and closing. It’s also good size for edc for me anyway. By the way, one of the things I like about your channel is your willing to actually express an opinion. Very helpful.
Hey Tom. Great Video. I recently started my BRK journey about a month ago. I currently have 3. Bravo 1 LT in Cru-Wear. Kephart 4 in 3V and my most recent Gunny LT in Magnacut. With that being said my Bravo and Kephart are perfect. Having purchased on the used market. However my Gunny LT pins on the scales are not level or in line with one another. Have you seen this before? And do you know if BRK can fix this permitting they have the scales kicking around? And in you’re opinion, if you had to chose one knife between the Bravo 1LT or the Gunny LT which one would you chose and why? Thanks for any advice you can lend regarding this matter
Ah, the classic case of the wonky pins! It’s like they’re trying to dance but forget the rhythm! I’ve seen this before, and BRK should be able to help out if they have the parts. As for picking favorites, I’d say the Bravo 1 LT is like the trusty sidekick, while the Gunny LT is the cool but slightly classier hero!
I bought this knife and I absolutely love it, probably one of my favorite knives. I put a zero convex on mine and it stays sharp for a long time.
It's awesome to hear that you love your knife! A zero convex edge is a great choice for keeping it sharp. Happy cutting!
To be fair the Izula is not the Izula2. That 1/2 inch in the handle really makes a huge difference. And S35VN is such an awesome stainless steel that is pretty dam tough & easy to sharpen. As ESSE has ignored its fan base, it forced me to try other brands. My recommendation would be one of the following: White River’s M1 Caper in S35VN & now offering Magnacut. Bradford Guardian 3.2 in Magnacut is awesome. Or Bark River’s Iron River also in Magnacut. The best knife ergoes go to White River M1 Caper vs the Izula2. And since ESSE insist on ignoring us White River M1 Caper is the winner. Esse needs to step it up.
Totally get what you mean! The Izula2 is nice, but that extra half-inch really changes the game. I’ll have to check out those other brands you mentioned!
👍 I learn so much from your videos. In this case I learned that we have both purchased ~20 knives from Bark River. A difference is that I have never received a bad knife and have found Mike Stewart remarkably easy to converse with. In fact, I remember telling you I thought Mr. Stewart might be watching your videos when I received one of their knives with a much improved leather sheath. One of the very well made knives I received was a Gunny. I can see why it would be a great knife for a deployed Marine, but it was simply too bulky for my purposes. One might argue that 20 knives is too many and why would you have so many from one maker. Well, I now only own 2 Bark River knives. I have a rule that if I buy an additional knife or firearm or a car or a boat or a house one I already own must go. If I buy an additional Bark River knife it only makes sense one of the other Bark River knives must go. Sometimes I have so many Bark River knives the culled knife has just got to be a Bark River. In any event I am sorry we have had such different experiences with Mr. Stewart. What does he say when you call to discuss these problems? No offense to anybody but I am not that familiar with DBK. Every-time I try to watch one of their videos I could not get past the goofy childish intros. 🤷🏻♂️
100% agree with you. I have quite a few Bark Rivers and they are all great knives. Incredible choice of designs, handle materials and all hand made. Their convex grinds are brilliant. The knives are rugged and tough to cope with just about anything a sensible person would use them for. I won't be selling any of mine. Nice to see some positivity about companies trying to make great knives for us. Good on you mate?
@@Dandenongkelly Thank you for the support. I like their knives and enjoy speaking with Mike Stewart. I am a particular fan of when he ran Marbles Knives.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's interesting to hear how different our interactions with Mike Stewart have been. It sounds like you have a solid system for managing your knife collection!
Good video Tom. I enjoy your take on Bark River. I own a stack of them. Doubles and triples on the Bushcrafter and Bravo, and Aurora models. I had one knife my little Aurora Mini that wasn’t sharpened appropriately, which I remedied with a slack belt. I just can’t find fault in them. I have only 3V and CruWear models. So I’m 15 out of 15 with no visible blemishes. Gunny is a great knife, little small in the handle for me, but if I use it for a minute my hand accommodates it. I throw my sheaths away, or stick Moras in them. Patriot leather and Tops Bushcrafter sheaths, or Knife connection sheaths are my go to solutions. My take on Bark River? If I could only have one knife, it would be a Bushcrafter in 3V. I’d part with all of them before I let it go. Not a fan boy at all, I just use a lot of knives and everything from aesthetics, ergonomics, performance and edge retention is there for me. So that’s my take on BR. Like Forest said and that’s all I’ve got to say bout that. Thank you for making another great video.
Thanks for the love, man! Sounds like you’ve got a killer stash of Bark River knives. Can’t go wrong with the Bushcrafter; it’s a real gem!
@@SWORD1-cm4vb Agree 💯%❗️ Your experience with Bark River has been just like mine. We also agree on the “if I only had one Bark River” selection.
Yep. The Bushcrafter is king. Actually my first purchase 6 years ago when I started my knife addiction. Could have stopped right there and saved 50,000. But I fell down the rabbit hole. I’d recommend it as a first and last purchase to any guy that wants best woods tool available. If my hand was smaller the Gunnie Scandi would be just as good. Buschcrafter is my belt knife. I keep a Bravo II or a Bravo III in my pack for batoning and destruction along with a collapsable saw . Handles everything I come across.
Awesome share
Thank you so much! Your support means a lot to me!
Well, I own only one Barkie, just to say I do. It's an Aurora and it seems to be pretty good, except for the dog-crap sheath. I'd never buy another, just on principle alone. But I do understand seeing a knife that you like, buying it and using it, even IF it's a BR knife. That is a sweet blade. I like the logger handles, but the sheath has me stumped... That's my lumber one complaint about BR: I get board seeing such crappy sheaths on expensive knives, and that one is one of the worst I 'saw'... Saying that, what's a 'feller' gonna do? 🤷🏼♂️ 😔 (PS, my Irish friend, I think those scales, being translucent, might have looked even better without liners, but I'm an idiot, so...)
Hello, my Canadian brother. I've never owned the Aurora, but have noticed it gets a lot of love. Yes, I would have preferred the scales without liners. Maybe one like that will surface someday and I'll snag it. But, at least the liners are not white, green, or orange. Red would have been okay...black too I guess, but the natural is the least glaring so I went with it. It is also a fatter handle than any of the other gunnies I've owned. It would fit your mitts for sure.
Mr.Tom....i applaud your candor and brutal honesty. Another fine video. I've had decent luck with Barkies. Regarding timestamp: 03:20-03:30....I like the knives, nuff said. Have a super weekend Sir.
Thank you so much for your support! I’m thrilled to hear you liked the video and found value in the Barkies. Wishing you a fantastic weekend as well!
I've had a few and only 1 of the I believe 10 have lasted. It's a Barkriver Northstar A2 steel I believe. I've had it going on 10 years. It's become my dedicated deer hunting knife. Something about this knife just fits my hand perfectly and it slices amazingly. It is a discontinued model but it's one I won't get rid of. Even the sheath for it is good. All the others are long gone by now like you said most have had issues there was only 1 that was "perfect".
A knife that lasts a decade? That’s like finding the holy grail of hunting gear! I think it’s time to give that Northstar a little trophy shelf of its own!
@@knifetimestorythe key to keeping it for a long time is being the only one that uses it and keeping it close to your body while hunting 😆. I've lost a few Benchmade knives hunting I learned to put the knife on then the outer layer lol. And I definitely will be giving that knife a special spot once I retire it. But I haven't found anything I like enough to replace it with lol.
Good advice!
I live in WNY, and it’s crazy the laws we have to follow regarding guns and knives. It says you can have a switchblade, but only when hunting or fishing, cuz we all know how great auto’s are for those things. I will say, I have a pocket clip knife with the clip showing, never had a problem, cops ask what it is, you tell them and that’s usually it. I suppose they could be dicks about it, ever happened to me in my 30 years of carrying a blade. I thought the law was that the clip HAD to be showing or else it’s considered “concealed weapon” I don’t go around breaking laws so I don’t worry about it, but I wouldn’t mind living in a different, more red or purple state that doesn’t care about frivolous things like this. I’m more of a slipjoint guy with knife collecting, but I absolutely carry a modern folder too, for the “real” work lol
It's definitely a maze navigating those laws in WNY! It’s good to hear you’ve had a smooth experience with your pocket clip knife. Always best to stay informed and compliant!
I got one at an auction. It has a heavy nylon sheath. Same knife. I also have my Dads, and it has leather sheath. The snap pulled out, but a shoe repair guy replaced it.
That's awesome! It's great to hear that you have a similar knife and a family heirloom. Those personal stories really add to the value of the piece!
I need me one of these esee 3 all my hunting buddies suggest them but man they are pricey compared to a cold steel yeah you get warranty but I baby my stuff so it’s hard to pay 3-4x the price :/
I get it! Paying 3-4x the price feels like you’re buying a fancy knife that could double as a family heirloom! But hey, if it can cut through a steak like a hot knife through butter, it might just be worth it!
I wish someone would do one for NC, because there seems to be a lot of gray areas.
Gray areas? Sounds like NC needs a fresh coat of paint! I’ll grab my brush and get to work!
Ive got the adventurer and the mk1 mushroom knife .Both are sweet.Mk1 will make a great neck knife.Condor has competition.

Thank you for the compliment. I do appreciate it. So… I have been mispronouncing these? Bummer. How is it that you know the correct pronunciation? I’m not questioning your pronunciation… I just want to know how you actually know the right way?

sorry the metric system rules supreme the imperial system is some middle ages shit the whole of science uses the metric system even in the states or do you think engeneers use inches and foot?! they dont... even nasa uses the metric system in all their calculations... they just convert it after in the imperial system

Is this the knifjoy para 3 in 20 cv?Just got that model and i love the 20 cv
Welp. It may have started that way, but I dyed it and then popped the 20CV out and put in an S30V because I like that steel better.
Man I wear the exact same eyeglasses as you
You have excellent taste!!
I've carried at least a pocket knife since I was 8. Without one I feel incomplete. When I was a kid in the 60s and kind of cheap hardware store pocket knife was great. In the early 70s my Holy Grails were Case and Buck. Then in the late 70s early 80s, and beginning the military phase of my life while thinking I would be the next Patton, Gerber became the object of my envy. In the late 80s when my son got into Boy Scouts and I got back into Scouting as an adult (yeah right, I've just pretended to be an adult) leader Swiss Army Knives caught my attention and they had to share space in my pocket and head with my Gerbers. Moving on down the road another 10 years Benchmade comes along and caught the attention of my fickleness and wandering eye. It has been a long slide into knife poverty since. I discovered ESEE, then LT Wright, Bark River, Bradford,...then Victorinox SAKS again became the apple of my eye. I'd be a rich man today, but i have and addiction and damn it you're not being helpful I ordered two more Izulas today just in case and got the new ESEE Pacaya last week.
Great comment. Love the history. How do you like the Pacaya?
@@knifetimestory I think I like it. The blade shape and the handle size are great. The steel is 3V which I really like. Instead of a powder coat they used Cerakote and I haven't decided what I think about it so far. I haven't carried it much yet because It is just a little to big for the pocket and i haven't figured out the best way to carry it.
Welp. Thank you very much!! I just ordered two. One in green and one in black. I'll swap the handles and give the green one away most likely.
Everytime I watch one of your vids, I literally find myself laughing. This time it was the alcohol, no-heroin, no-meth…. 😂. Hey thanks for your content!!
Glad you find me amusing. I appreciate that. Thank you for watching!!
I Sold mine. The handle is bigger than the blade. Carry was annoying and I find folding knives more useful and easier to carry and conceal.
I respect that. My handle helps a little in the size department, but what really helps is the handle I show in this video: ruclips.net/video/b0ko317v_-o/видео.html That way I have a decent sized knife on my belt, and still can have a "pocket" knife for times a belt knife is just not called for.
I'm glad I don't live in NY. Thanks for sharing brother 🤙
You are glad. I wish I didn't.
It’s kinda cool how you customize your Strongarm. We all have different likes and dislikes. The part of the video I liked the best was the scenery behind you.
Glad you liked the video and scenery.
Informative and funny 😂
Thank you!!
When I was 8, my Great Uncle Gee got me a smaller Pakistan 110 clone. I still have it. I'm 37 now. My Dad died in 2021 and he had a real American Buck 110, which he promised to me. It was my EDC for a few years but now it stays in a safe place at home where I can admire it. I EDC a LEOne Lionsteel karmabit now. I love the emerson. Anyway. Buck 110 will always be the most sentimental knife to me. my first knife and my Dad's knife both sit together now.
Great comment. Glad you tucked away the sentimental knives. It is not worth the risk of loss to take them out of the house.
The ESEE-3 HM has the exact same problem with the transition from handle to blade. I have cut myself more than once because of it. I love everything else about it and even with that one flaw is still one of my most carried fixed blades.
Yep. I bought one of those when they first came out and regretted it for the same reason.
I agree. I have 3 and all the sheaths are worthless. The answer I got from Bark River is sorry but that is the sheath we provide.
Yep. Pretty arrogant of them.
I'm new to this channel. I like his presentation. I just bought a 110. I agree with you guys. The shape is intuitive.
Welcome aboard!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a nice comment.
Video Quality: 10/10 Audio Quality: 10/10 Apparel: 0/10 I hate Red. The nylon washers are for reducing wear on the blade steel. I own the older XHP version. Though I like it, I prefer the grind of the newer version, because YES losing cutting edge does matter to ME. Also, I will get one of the newer versions and put a tiny sharpening choil where the edge terminates, like on my Recon 1. Thanx for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
Funny you should mention the red. I had to wear it because I was wearing a green shirt and since at that time I was using a green screen for the background, I would have simply been a talking head with no body. 😂😂 I no longer use a green screen.
This is a great video! Thank you for posting, my friend. Funnily enough, I was listening to this video as I purchased a 110, lol.
Wow. Talk a out serendipity. Thanks for sharing!!
