Btw. The more active “reviewing” of the knife is really cool. I enjoyed seeing the knife in use. Definitely upped the entertainment value of the review as well. Cheers mate!
Glad to hear it, I’m going to try to be better about showing some use in my reviews 🤘🏻
Best handle of all time. Hopefully they will do more knives with it and offer different colors
Put a convex bevel on it and you will see all the magic of this blade. Bought for mine an Armatus kydex sheath ;) and sharpened the spine to 90 degrees
Think this is the fixed for me. The size looks prefect.
Just got one last night and saw this review today…had a feeling it was beast. Nice!
My first impression with this knife is overwhelmingly positive but I haven’t done a full test yet but I feel it has potential.
Glad i checked this older video of yours. Since we are on Finn theme here i could recommend one blade to try when going camping/bushcrafting and its Terävä Skrama. I trust that thing with my life and it doesnt break the wallet either, varusteleka sells and ships them to USA.
Nice looking blade, man. I’ve got their Puukko and it’s a handy knife with a very comfortable handle. I might need to add one of these too! 🔪😎
Looks like a dream 🔪
I have the Morakniv Garberg, Benchmade Leuku, and the Puukko in the mail Looking forward to comparing these three. Hope I can let one of these go 😂 seems like it’s going to be hard to choose. I plan on making it a scandivex ASAP
Curious of your findings if you do jot mind sharing
Put a convex edge on it, perfect outdoor knife
I’ve been interested in that knife for a while. Thanks for reviewing it. Seems awesome. Good grind. I’d be curious to see how it compares to my Bradford 3.5. Not a perfect comparison as the Benchmade is much larger but would be interesting nonetheless. Usually when it comes to tasks a larger knife is well suited for, I prefer to grab a hatchet or a machete. But then again I like to be prepared and would be unlikely to go somewhere I might need them without bringing them with me.
Benchmade also makes a puukko its almost exactly the same, but its a 3.75" blade
Somebody send my man some bug spray🙏. Sweet knife
I love the way it looks! My current fav fixie is my cold steel master tanto..
Huge fan of your channel Im currently looking at getting this knife for a sponsored walk
Flitz metal polish is good stuff if you decide to polish it up. I was tempted to grab one myself, but I already have 10 bushcraft type knives. Bark Rivers, LT Wright, Mora's, etc. I really don't need another one..but then again..having enough has never stopped me from buying another knife in the past, so who knows. One could still find it's way into the collection.
I feel that man, I have a lot of knives that all fit the same or at least similar purposes lol
@@beardedgear yeah..funny how we just keep on buying knife after knife isn't it? I have more than I can possibly use, yet we still keep looking for that perfect knife that will beat all others, and can never be topped. The one that means we never have to buy another one, which doesn't exist of course, but it sure is fun looking for it isn't it? LOL Wallet destroying hobby, and so damn addicting. I guess it beats being addicted to drugs, but not all that much cheaper, lol.
A lot healthier though 🤣
Why the heck would you polish it?
Three years later and not a lot of fixed blade reviews since, how is this in your books these days?
Think about getting a pukkoo 200.
Leuku is illegal to carry where i live..
Now I watch a tons of reviews and some say nah and some say yay.
Heard they changed the ht on newer models but I don't know all to much about that.
I feel confused atm 😅
Update. Received my puukko 200 today and immediately had to send it back.
It had a scratch or maybe even a slight crack in the blade. Looked weird so I had to return it. 😅
Aaand update...
Got another one weeks ago and its fine even when the grind on the tip is little weird.
Carved some wood with it and like how it feels plus after a day of feathersticking and carving it still pops hair. Very impressed by my first 3v knife.
But I wish they would have molded the gripp so it closes on the blade cause I think moisture will get in there and corrode. A nice good weather knife!
I like it!
@@mbhaus6349 where are you from?
Hey how’s yours held up I saw another guy say the 3v was soft I know benchmade has did that before on another folder but they supposed to have fixed it now. So I’m figuring after a month you should have sharpened by now. Or if you haven’t had to even better but I was thinking about giving this a go. Or should I spend $40 bucks an get a coldsteel srk . Really it’s the 3v that I’m interested in. Cool video you really covered everything but sharpening really says it all. I mean you really sold me on it. I’m trying to by American . I was turned off to benchmade because of prices but this one is very reasonable for what it is.
Mine has been going strong, I’ve stropped it twice but haven’t sharpened it yet, the steel is performing the way 3v should 👍🏻
@@beardedgear thanks bro really appreciate the feedback. Guess I'm going to have to buy one
Man 3V for 150 bucks is a real bargain. Besides, I can heat treat properly in an investigation grade material science laboratory. (Perks of being a materials engineer)
Nothing wrong with the prices. Great knife company. Forget about the cheap chinese junk. Don’t fund your enemies.
@@talisikid1618 funny you said that benchmade helped anti gun democrats and donated to them
Any problems with rust where the handle meets the blade? Ive heard a few people coplain about rusting at and under the handle
Hell yeah you know I had to have one LOL it is a really good knife. If you can find one a Benchmade jungle bolo has been with me for years. we'll get a 940 in your pocket before it's over 😂😂 ✌️
Haha I already spent a week with the 940, I wasn’t sold on it 😅
@@beardedgear 😂 wrong configuration tho get The 940-2001 from Alex to try out ✌️
Haha I might have to do that 🤣
Love this style knife. However, despite the handle being excellent on the benchmade, if I were to buy a Leku I would probably opt for a traditional finnish design with a more attractive look. Helle makes a really nice one as well. But I am kind of a sucker for looks with my knives as silly as it might be.
Personally I think this handle is better, the traditional ones kind of have a factor of if someone asks to use it you have to say no because they're going to slip and cut their hands open because they don't know how to use it whereas the benchmade is very grippy
u should change the v edge grind;)
Leuku with stag handle!!!
Part rattlesnake, part jetboat.
I didn’t think it would go through that knotty shit
THUNDERCAT has been replaced?????? big sad.
😂😂
Why is it that every guy that has a beard names something after the beard?
Hi men the knife is gode Wat is the prise
140.00 US , depending on the sheath you choose could be less.
To light to be a chopper
