@@dodsonhaycattle thank you very much for the compliment! I truly appreciate it. And I appreciate you watching my video! Thank you!

@@wrx99 it is a great tool. Incredibly portable and very useful. I have it in my backpack and never know it’s there. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching my video!

@@arthurmoore9441 thank you! I appreciate the compliment. And I appreciate you watching my video!

@@lanceranderson23 thank you very much for the kind words! And thank you for watching my video!

@@BlaiseMerle thank you so much my friend! I appreciate the compliment! I love making knives, primitive, modern…..I like making all kinds of blades. Lately I have been having fun making primitive ones. I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying the Ganzo! It truly is a great knife!

@@KageNoTora74 you and I think alike. And after putting through a lot of use, it is extremely capable for its intended purpose.

@@e.s.l5861 that’s a great idea. That would be very useful. I rarely use my scissors, but a lot of people love them. These knock off tools are getting better and better every day. They make a few models, even a Surge style with the file/saw receiver. Might look into that one, it is interesting. If you would like to see a video on that model, let me know. Or any model for that matter. Thanks for the comment! And thank you for watching my video!

@ of coarse, thanks for posting, I enjoyed it. For scissors I carry a SAK for the mini pliers, scissors, and PLUS tools. I do though often end up using the ones on my MT’s though. Over the last month, I’ve been using the Gordon wave clone in place of my surge and my folding/locking blade knife. I have been blown away by its quality. I don’t know if I just got a good one, but the fit/finish/ grinds are great, even the edge retention on the knife blade is pretty good. And the scissors cut paracord like it’s nothing and the bronze bushings make it super smooth The little 8yr old girl who probably threw mine together did a great job haha

@@e.s.l5861 I will have to look into that tool. Not too familiar with that brand. Thanks for the intel. I use my scissors occasionally but not near as much as some of my friends do. For many of my friends quality scissors are a must for their multitool.

If you work with thread or fishing line they come in super handy, as long as they are good. I do a lot of Backpacking, and tend to use my Swisschamp’s to open small packages, for like food. Could do it with the blade but the scissors are a bit safer for little stuff, especially when far out

@ that’s when I use the scissors the most……when I am fishing, or cutting a fine thread that I don’t want to risk pulling.

@@e.s.l5861 I love Victorinox the Spirit is an excellent tool for sure. I have many friends that prefer it over Leatherman. I personally prefer leatherman, but I have many Victorinox that I enjoy carrying from time to time. They are super high quality and very reliable. I do agree, I prefer the toolset on the Leatherman for most every day tasks.

@@michaelbumbera4350 I’m glad you found the channel as well! Welcome to Eleven11 Basecamp……glad you’re here. Thanks for the kind comment! Thanks for watching my video!

@@michaelbumbera4350 I love Morakniv. I think they make incredibly valuable knives for the price point. Truly excellent knives. Odenwolf is right up there with there mini knives, I am truly impressed by their performance. You can’t go wrong with either of the two brands. Although I do believe that Odenwolf provides a much better sheath. Just my opinion. Thank you for the kind comment. I really appreciate the compliment. And thank you, very much, for watching my video!

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh New subscriber...my pleasure! Keep up the good work!

@ thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind comment. Thank you so much for subscribing!!!!

@@Janna-y2s it does make an outstanding reading light. Truth be told, it excels in many different applications. The more I use this light…..the more I like it. Thank you for the comment! Thank you for watching my video!!

@@Janna-y2s thank you very much for the compliment. I really appreciate the kind words. I love to draw….and create all kinds of art really. Again, thank you for the kind comment. And thank you for watching my video!

@@kentonroberts8234 it is a big blade, throwing it would be wild. Maybe I will take it out to the target and see how it does. Thanks for watching my video!

@FloydCotton-hx4jh I have a pair of cold steel Gladius throwers and love them, the weight is so nice to control, I hate light throwing knives!

@ I like to train with various weights, lengths, and profiles. Though I have to agree with you, heavier blades are my preference.

@@kentonroberts8234 I'm sure it could be thrown, though I'm not sure if it would match much less exceed the performance of a specifically balanced dedicated throwing knife.

@KageNoTora74 true, edge retention might not be great for that either, but as for throwing get good enough you can through anything, seen a guy that can throw a figure skate...

@@gerardobooth5585 this is true. Very well said. Thank you for the comment. And thanks you, very much for watching my video!

@@stephenwilder2320 it’s amazing how something as simple as a well made and reliable flashlight can bring people together. I love Olight. What’s your favorite model?

@ My favorite is the Seeker 4 Pro. I’ve got a large yard and that thing will flood it with light. Tho my Arkfeld Ultra is my edc light.

@ both excellent choices!

@@shaneevans5430 😆 yeah, this one was fun to do……and if you haven’t tried these, they’re outstanding. This is a veteran owned company with some great people behind the wheel. Give them a shot sometime. Thank you for the kind comment!

@@shaneevans5430 thank you very much for the kind words. Let me know how you like the kit……and if you need any refills for any of the components. I would love to hear how your experience with it goes. Please do not hesitate to share your thoughts. I really appreciate it!

@@shaneevans5430 I really appreciate the compliments! Thank you SO much for subscribing to my channel!

@@shaneevans5430 also….. I have a OD green Baton Turbo with your name on it, compliments of eleven11Outdoors!

@@NOOBKIAtv I Love Joker. I just got a Flecha. I’m a big fan of the Rabbit and the Nessmuk. Excellent knives. Any one in particular you would like to see reviewed on the channel? Thanks for the comment. And thanks for watching my video!

@@mrc2205 the FREE series in general is absolutely innovative. I fell in love with the design immediately. It is SO much more intelligent and intuitive than all other platforms. Some people disagree, but I credit that to people not liking change and familiarity with previous designs. The free series is literally the only architecture that does not have a clone or knock off version. This is because it is more complex. You can get a cheaper clone of waves and surges (and they get better every day) yet I have not seen any FREE knock offs. I am sure someone will figure out how to do it eventually…..but it is interesting that they have not done it yet. The P2, the P4, and the ARC are also my favorites. To me they define a more refined technology and I believe they are the future of multitools. For some people, using the design one time is all it takes for them to see the advantages. I carry my ARC everywhere I go. And that’s not going to change any time soon. Thanks for the comment. And thank you, so much for watching my video!

@@modelmisfit when I started this channel, I had to decide what would make this different from other channels in this genre. The idea behind the channel initially was to give people a look at gear that I found valuable in my adventures. There are MANY channels like mine. And hours of footage of people hacking through cardboard….cutting perfectly good rope, or just destroying a piece of equipment by using it in a manner that no intelligent person would ever do. I work in engineering and one rule is bedrock- do not complicate unless absolutely necessary. Keeping my videos simple, to the point, and not wasting people’s time watching me hack through all the material I go through to prove to myself that a piece of equipment is worthy of my friends time was the initial idea. And this is the first comment in almost 80 videos anyone has asked to see the grunt work. I expected to hear this sooner…..but no one has asked for it. So, the question is…..do I complicate my process? Do I post all of that content in a format only subscribers see? If I were to hear this comment frequently then I would have already added that footage. But I have not. There are literally dozens of channels similar to mine that show all of that over and over. Ultimately, this channel is for you guys. This is your channel too if you are a subscriber. If you want to see that type of content, then I am more than happy to provide it. Ultimately, I am a tiny channel. I am Learning all of this in real time. I work two jobs and have four children. My time is valuable and I truly believe that your time is valuable as well. I will add a video with all of the testing and we will see if it does better than my previous process. If it does, then I will adopt it as part of my format. Thank you for your comment. You have given me a lot to think about. I appreciate your time and thank you for watching my video!

@ I completely understand I definitely do what I would maybe suggest is not while swaths of testing just a few small shots of some of what you did. And I absolutely don’t mean you have to destroy a tool to please those ppl they are chaos tourists. They are hoping it fails. For me I would like to know what their heat treat of D2 did in testing. Did it roll the edge, dull the edge if so was it hard to resharpen. And so on. Lol but thank you very much for the concise reply.

@ I’m giving your comment a lot of thought. And I think you may be right. I will definitely experiment with this and please feel free to give me any advice or critique……I honestly appreciate the feedback. Thank you again for your advice. It is very appreciated.

@ it’s all about positive, looking back my comment was a bit dry. And I guess my bias was showing that or the fact that it’s almost ubiquitous throughout gear reviewers. And maybe the fact that you didn’t threw me off a bit. But maybe it’s good you don’t idk. Maybe poll the audience. I appreciate you and apologize if my comment fell wrong.

@ no apology necessary. I accept all forms of critique….negative, positive, I take it all in. I want to provide my subscribers with my individual insight on things that I personally find valuable. If there is any way I can improve upon this process, then I want to know. I did not take your comment as negative. I looked at it as an opportunity to better my content creation. And that is ultimately what I want. I want to provide my subscribers with truly valuable information that helps them make wise decisions. I look at my channel as a community and a community is only strong if we communicate with eachother. I value your opinion and the opinions of all of my friends here. Thank you for your time…..I appreciate your perspective.

@@plipsie you become a gladiator and I will provide you with one. Thank you very much for the compliment, I really appreciate the kind words. And thank you so much for subscribing! That really does mean the world to me.

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh 🫶

@@plipsie yes it is. This wasn’t to introduce the tool to sailors…… they already know what this tool is used for. The intention was to introduce the tool to people who are not sailors and show a variety of uses THEY will find it useful for. I appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching my video!

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh Yes! I know, I gave it a like and a comment I didn't mean to sound mean.

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh Also! I have a Spyderco Tusk that makes all my sailing frens jel, it's rare now but u should look at it if u can find one!

@ no worries. I didn’t take it negatively. I do appreciate you making sure I was not offended. Thank you!

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh Good! I am prone to Nordic bluntness so I have to be careful.

@@golife7547 seriously though. It is a damn tough knife. I put it through some serious work. I tore into it because it performed like a full tang and I wasn’t sure. To answer a subscriber’s question, I cut the handle open……but it was serious work. Thanks for the comment. And thank you very much for watching my video!

@@Star_Sn1per I actually had a friend that machined me some G10 scales. It’s basically 1 of 1 but not a production piece. Good eye! Thanks for the comment! And thank you for watching my video!

@@JUDGERAMBO thank you, I appreciate the compliment. Thank you for watching my video!

@@Jimbonj thank you! I appreciate the compliment. I see a lot of channels racing eachother to post videos on all the new releases. I feel a lot of really good gear gets lost in the background. I try to bring my subscribers the best information they can get to make the best choices in their gear selections. Sometimes that means taking a step back and recognizing that a tool has proven itself to be worthy. I mentioned this tool to a group one day and was surprised how few of them had really given it a shot. New gear is cool, but time tells us whether a design has staying power. I feel the Powerpint has done that. Thanks for the comment. And thank you very much for watching my video!

@FloydCotton-hx4jh thanks I knew of this one years ago now my needs and interests have changed. Now I'm considering this if I can hide a ,swiss army knife tooth pick, in it somewhere lol

@ I believe it is worth a revisit. It’s one of those tools that doesn’t get enough credit in my opinion. I will experiment with the architecture and see if I can stash a pair of tweezers somewhere. This is a great idea by the way. Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate you watching my video!

@@jenswurm the SOG Powerpint is a very small tool. The file is only about 1 3/4in long and fairly narrow. It is far from the best file I have used but not too bad for such a small platform. I used it to take the burr off of a piece of steel I was working on and it did fine for its size. But you are correct, it is not Leatherman or Victorinox quality. For a tiny tool at the thirty dollar mark, I think it is just fine. Thanks for the comment and question. I really appreciate you watching my video!

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh Thanks for your reply! I think the price point is really important. Here in Germany it's difficult to get it for less than 55€, and at that same price you can get a Leatherman Rev or a Victorinox Handyman, so i feel that at least in my local market it also has to compete with these in terms of build quality.

@ this is a great point. You are absolutely correct. I am in the United States, so it is a very different market here. Price is very important and weighing your options is absolutely the wise thing to do. I appreciate your perspective and I thank you for sharing it with me. I also would like to thank you for watching my video!

@@Heikki_Finland thank you for the comment and questions, I appreciate your time. The holes in the file and saw have never given me any problems. There is plenty of file space to never really notice the hole. And with the saw, it isn’t an issue. I would rather have a one handed opening system than a nail nick platform for sure. Steel is a funny thing. Most people do not realize that steels are a collection of elements in powder form that can be modified in so many ways. And there is no real regulations defining the composition of any particular recipe. That’s why we have knives that are stamped with the same identity that behave differently. I have used the awl to sew. A few times actually. I have repaired tarps and sails, I have attached rigging to kayaks and structures. It is useful, but you may be right…..only to a rare few individuals. The can opener drives me crazy. The old talon-style can open was SO much more functional. You and I absolutely agree on that. Again, thank you…. so much, for the comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my video!

@@coaldriller it really is an awesome little tool. It has a lot of capabilities for such a small platform. Definitely check it out. Thank you very much for the kind feedback! I truly appreciate the compliment. Thank you so much for watching my video!

@@MichaelsNicheReviews it really is a handy little multi tool. And it’s just a little over 30 bucks. Worth it, in my opinion.

@@DecusTex then this is the tool for the job. If a ZomBie apocalypse occurs, I would like to have this on my side. Thanks for the comment. And thanks for watching my video!

@@dodsonhaycattle I do that a lot also. I have untied many a knot with my Leatherman. The curve of the marlin spike is really helpful. If you use a lot of cordage or rope, a sailor’s tool is a valuable asset. Thanks for the comment! And thanks for watching my video!

The SAK corkscrew works well on smaller knots.

@ I have used one for that purpose MANY times. And you are right….it works very well. We keep this tool in the rope and cordage bag. We carabiner it to the rig so it is always there. I use my multitool for most quick fixes, but after a long adventure and we are rolling and wrapping everything up, this tool is handy to have at the ready. We keep another on the boat……and that is where it really shines. Thanks for the comment and great advice. I really appreciate your time. Thank you so much for watching my video!

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh You're welcome

@@bobleeswagger2991 oh yeah, if you have small hands, this knife would suit you well. I have a friend who wears small gloves and he has no issues with the Timberbark. Thanks for the comment and thank you for watching my video! I truly appreciate it.

@@BlaiseMerle hello my friend. Yes, she is a gorgeous beast. It is one mean blade.

??? what does this mean

@@adventurefifty it really is an outstanding blade. It continues to impress me.

@@adventurefifty I have tested several Odenwolf blades and they truly are great knives. From the Mini blades, to the Sow Catcher, to the W Machete…..they are impressive. Thanks for the comment. And thank you for watching my video!

@@mircean769 it’s a beast. You really have to wield it to appreciate it. Absolutely made for combat. Testing the blade was fun. We put it through combat scenarios then we put it through survival scenarios. Thanks for the comment. And thanks for watching my video! I truly appreciate it.

@@adventurefifty thank you very much!

@@darlenejstrickland I just finished testing it and I can say that the D2 on this blade is outstanding. It held up strong to everything we threw at it. Absolutely outstanding.
