Excellent info and I appreciate your attitude toward the criticism. You addressed it well.
Thanks brother, I appreciate it!
Outstanding as usual, Blessings!❤
Thanks brother!
Amen! Thank you for pointing this out. Too many people are running around complaining that their $400 custom Bushcraft knife doesn’t clean fish the way they think it should because they haven’t considered what the design is actually intended for vs what they want it to do.
Cleaning fish with a blade that is almost 1/4" on the spine would surely be a difficult task! Thanks Tracy!
What A Great Video and Thanks For Sharing!
Thank you again brother!
You are 💯on point I totally agree with what you are saying. Every knife has its own personality.!
Thanks brother!
@@honorableoutfitters no need to thank me you sir are a man of knowledge and common sense and in this day and age it’s a rarity especially having both.. some people think that just because the influencer they are watching said this is the knife you need to bushcraft with or survive with or camp with.. they just run and get one not knowing what that knife was actually designed for. So thank you for calling it out 👍🏻

👍 I thought your previous video on the Kephart knife was spot on and gave many insights into the personality of this style knife. While I did not need the explanation you provided in this supplement video, I thought it was very well done.
I appreciate that brother!
Great video. God bless. From Glenn CATT. In Massachusetts.
Thank you!
another great video my dad always tole me it was me not the knife at 53 i now understood what he ment
It took me a while. Experience working with knives of different styles helped and provided learning experiences.
Also, thank you!
THANK YOU! I have been telling my buddies for years when they ask me , GEE WHAT KNIFE SHOULD I GET, pick a knife that appeals to you AND then use it in the kitchen, hiking etc, but use it ALL THE TIME, if it does not work for you, ok, choose another. BUT, Money does not buy you YOUR KNIFE, think can you use it comfortably and efficiently. Folders included.
Thanks brother, it is often a hard lesson to learn for those without patience. I admittedly was that way as a tenderfoot too, lol.
I don't recall if I ever commented on this point. After every use of a knife of 5 inches or less I actually strop it in the palm to maintain the edge, seems to work. I find doing the "tim the toolman' grunt seems to enhance the stroke, lol. Not mandatory but would startle camp buddies,LOL
Great video,
I don't have a Kephart style knife yet, but I do plan on buying one soon. I'll probably buy the Ka-BAR Kephart.
The Ka-Bar Kephart I hear is really great!
@@honorableoutfitters
I've heard the same.
Personally I like the "woodcrafter" in its modern form, as Kepard outlined in his second camping book
I own the Western version of it and the smaller handled BSA version and like them a ton.
I have a Marbles 460 Damascus steel Fixed Blade horn Knife with Jigged Horn Handle the Damascus steel micro cystaline nature makes it a good slicer@@honorableoutfitters
Got 5 kephart style knives and each one handles slightly differently.. again I appreciate your info..
Thank you, I appreciate you sharing your experience!
You are spot on that people thing the feather stick is a badge of honor. The same with the bow drill or the fero rod. It's good to be interested and become proficient but it does not make you the best. As to a knife, it is much like a firearm or really any tool you have to use it constantly for all kinds of tasks to make it work for you. A good all around knife is just that all around, not perfect for every task. You should get a knife that works good for what you mostly use a knife for not what someone else uses one for. Doesn't mean you cant carry one just because you like it and has a cool factor. At times even against what Nessmuck and Kephart said, I will carry a bowie knife because it is downright cool. It subs well for the hatchet. I carry a machette, a kuhkri, heay belt camp knife or a lueku as I desire. I carry a smaller all around knife at the same time.
I appreciate you sharing. I don't have such a wide variety as you but I keep a machete in my truck just in case.
As long as you feathers, it doesn’t matter how you do it.
I like the simplicity of that wisdom...sure makes life a bit less stressful. Thanks brother!
I don't really care what those little bushcraft masters say I go from tip to back just like bushcraft poo lol...front to back 😅
lol, thanks
