I've both the Joker knives as well as the Nessmuck. All three in the curly birch with scandi grinds. I'm a sucker for Nessmuck blades. I would love an LT Wright Camp MUK in 3v and or the Nordsmith Canteen Knife in AEB-L.
You might consider showing how the Small Mora's handle, when attached gives sufficient room for larger hands...I have one of these, and the handle makes the tool..TY Geat Channel!
Great comparisons and content. I agree completely with your assessment on Joker Knives. I only have the Erizo TS1. The fit & finish is very nice. It has the higher grind and also two pins and a lanyard hole. The blade shape is more clip point & the N695 has held up well for the little carving I have used it for. I really wanted the Nomad from the minute I saw it but I think I’ll pass. If Joker offered these in a 3V I would have one already. I love that double red LT Wright. I have the Tops and Benchmade Puukkos…wonder how those would compare? I’ll have to review your channel and see if you have a dedicated vid on that double red. Thanks again, appreciate ya and God Bless!
Bo matter how much higher, the grind was raised, or the edge bevel angle was, if the blade is thicker than 3mm, a scandi grind simply sucks.(for example, feathersticks aren't paper thin, the carving isn't as good as with a thinner blade etc) That's one of the reasons, that Morakniv are considered some of the best bushcraft knives.That's why, I haven't gotten a Joker yet, but Im itching to do, for some reason... I always remember they come thicker than they should and with stainless instead of a carbon blade, and that's when I change my mind.
Some of the best scandi ground knives next to mora are 5/32 to 3/16” thick. Geometry 100% matters and is actually the primary aspect of a knife. Such a foolish comment.
I can't decide on the orange Kansbol with all the bells and whistles (multi mount and survival sheath) at $72 or the Joker Lynx (orange as well) with kydex 99$. Sounds like you like the Kansbol.
I have the joker Nordico I found that I don’t like skandi grinds with a blade thickness over and 1/8 of an inch I found the Nordico did not cut to its full potential
You might have just gotten a bad one, I rcvd mine and it was Nasty Sharp right out of the box...Just saying, it happens sometimes..Shouldn't I know, but....
@@GTMGunTotinMinnesotan I thought so too....but on the hardness scale....Curly birch is a harder wood than walnut.....and pretier too.....there is no advantage with getting walnut except price.
@@adrianotero7963 When it comes to wooden handles on knives, it all depends to many factors, on how it will hold in time and use. You can have the most exotic handle and it finaly fails really early, or you can get a common wood on a cheaer knife, that will last for the rest of your life! IT depends on the humidity of the enviroment and how that slab is treated or not. It depends on the user if he gets the handle wet regularley and so on. That's why I always go for Micarta or G10 on my user knives, even though I still own a handfull of knives with wooden handles! But those are the reason, I ended up getting only manmade material since, I dont like even a slight change of the handle material..
@@greekveteran2715 I agree micarta is always a better choice for a working knife..... but I'm sure some of the wood ones will last with minimum care....not leaving it out in the elements and drying it after use.
@@adrianotero7963 Sure, that's true! I own literally knives from all the well known makers, excpet one, the LT Wright. Should I go for the Genesis or not? I guess I will flip a coin tonight! I don't just collect, I live on a mountain and I always carry a good knife on me. By the way, do you own that knife, the Genesis?
I would have never done that. There is a reason for that stopping your hand. Maybe you should be looking else where for a knife. With the millions made your bound to find one that actually fits your hand, without modification . Guess I’m just a old man. You be careful and don’t cut your hand off.
Fellow Minnesotan, I'm also a fan of LT Wright knives especially the Pronghorn! Thanks for the video.
Cool! What part of Minnesota?
@@GTMGunTotinMinnesotan North Metro, Andover. How about you? Cheers!
I love Joker Avispa🤩. Thanks
Three of my favorite knife companies!
Joker knives the best design
I’m down with the thinner blades. LT Wright makes a skinny Scandi NextGen that looks pretty good.

My Nessmuk arrived today dull like an old steel chisel... (Useless as a knife) Where are the checks and balances on the Joker Nessmuk chisels?
@@RamBowMike WOW . . . So sorry you've had a bad experience. I've had 7 Joker knives ( 3 I gave as gifts) and all have been hair popping razor sharp.
Might buy that light duty Eldris just because it has that full Scandi and still a thin blade
For the price and quality I really like the Joker brand. I'm very picky about the handles also.

Hey Lyle, I will be releasing a video on that LT Puukko within the month! Thanks so much for your kind words, be blessed

I wish they made the eldris light duty in yellow or red.
Did you ever decide?
I also don't like guards on handles
Not to mention, I've never slid my hands forward and cut my fingers. But I don't do a lot of stabbing.
Is the Joker Ember their version of the Kephart?
Thanks for the video! I just subscribed also.
Wow first of all thanks Rusty, appreciate the sub brother. I don't think they would describe this one as their kephart version though.
The Trampero is their Kephart version.

@@RamBowMike idk man mine came sharp, I’ve heard they had bad qc.

@@GTMGunTotinMinnesotan You are fortunate!
You might have just gotten a bad one, I rcvd mine and it was Nasty Sharp right out of the box...Just saying, it happens sometimes..Shouldn't I know, but....
What do you prefer Curly Birch or walnut ?
That's a good question. Strength, walnut. For aesthetics, birch probably!
