Whispy Woods it is 01 Tool Steel,Ive had it for over 2 years and the edge is the same,easy touch ups too.I don’t baton with it at all,I have an axe or a saw always but it could no problems whatsoever
The BHK Highlander is a very good all-purpose, full-tang belt knife. It is really a survival/bushcraft multi-tool of sorts. Full-tang means the knife's spine and handle are one piece of metal. This type of robust tool has a tapered, broomstick-shaped handle that can pretty much be gripped the same way from any angle. Its primary cutting edge is five inches long and 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick for added durability, since this blade is designed be used as an improvised froe for splitting, ie processing wood. This product has a scalpel-sharp 01 tool-steel blade with a symmetricall-shaped Scandinavian grind. This tool is about 10 1/8 inches long overall, its blade uncoated.This knife's Scandanavian grind is well suited to the demands of this knife's two primary tasks: processing wood for fire and tools and processing game for food, hides or pelts. The sharp 90-degree spine opposite the blade gives the bushcrafter or survivor two additional cutting edges, useful for a variety of camp tasks, such as: cutting cloth or cordage; cutting notches in wood; as a metal striker for employing flint and steel technology; as an ignition device to start a fire; as a prying tool; as a sharp tool for scaling a fish; as a scraping tool for striking ferrocerium rods or creating fine fatwood shavings; and for removing bark from branches. If a survival knife has an exposed steel pommel on the butt end of the knife, it can also be used a pounding tool for driving a nail, or for safely breaking/knapping glass. Some knives in this category, like the Habilus Bushtool, also have a hearth built in at the facorry, a rounded depression cut into one side of the handle. This property gives the survivor a pre-made bearing block, so ty don't hae to find/carve one off the landscape. That's a lot of multi-functionality for just one tool; the one tool survivors and bushcrafters typically keep sheathed on their belt so they never lose it. I personally like stainless steel blades beause I live and recreate in a rainy, damp, occasionally snowy climate in the Paciic Northwest for seven months a year. If I were ordering this knife from Battle Horse Knives, I would try to get coyote brown, unpolished micarta scales for the handle, for a somewhat better grip in the rain.
Enjoyed the vid , good content , not redundant...great job , most excellant blade...love me some BattleHorse Highlander and that scandi grind is my favorite grind with this knife - very , very versatile !
if your going that way piggy back them been carrying piggy backs now for some 45 years at least never been disappointed works great for hunting and taking care of fish and normal camping . Happy Trails Knives look great .
GREAT VIDEO ! I'm a new subscriber and you have sold me. I'm definitely going to pull the trigger on this one. Glad I found your site. Thank you so much, God bless.
Hey ben you clean up good lol great video love BHK I have a few including the pathfinder plsk 1 I love my highlander it holds a real fine edge and takes a beating. Two thumbs up may have to get another little frontier necker.
I ordered this knife on the Friday and it was delivered to me in the U.K. the next Friday!!! Unfortunately the U.K.government added $100 to the price. Its a solid heavy knife and to be honest I would have preferred a thinner option to 3/16" - its not the best for food prep or feathersticking but heyho its what it is.
Except this one is second. The PLSK1 by BHK and Dave Canterbury's Pathfinder Knife Shop has been out for years. The Highlander is the same knife with a different name.
So the PLSK1 from PKS and BHK has morphed into the BHK Highlander? I own the PLSK1 and the Highlander looks identical. Even has the same stats,( 5 inch long, 3/16 inch, O1 tool steel blade). Even has the same jimping for the thumb. I wonder if Dave C knows about this?
of course he does.... we make those knives for him. The difference in the two is his logo on his blades. We make them, ship them, and he sheaths them and sells them.
Great knife. Honestly, what really makes me not to buy one more BHK is the past experience that I had with them... took ridiculous time for mailing the knife...
Our company consists of 3 men in a shop hand crafting hundreds of knives. 60-90 days for a custom knife made with care and quality is not bad at all. But yes we have a line of knives that ship within 5-7 days, that's super fast for a non china knife.
You realize you can order different handle materials right? My current model has hickory handles stained ebony. Lots of options and finishes to choose from!
Good news is we offer a lifetime guarantee on every knife we build so if you beat the crap out of it and damage or break it we will repair or replace it for you for free.
I like that strong tip the Highlander has, and the French Trade look never goes out of style.
Great knife.I have the Pathfinder PLSK1,which is the same knife essentially and I use it constantly,has never let me down.
Shaun Grant what steel is your knife? How has it been with edge toughness and corrosion resistance?
Whispy Woods it is 01 Tool Steel,Ive had it for over 2 years and the edge is the same,easy touch ups too.I don’t baton with it at all,I have an axe or a saw always but it could no problems whatsoever
B.h.k are putting out some nice looking knives. It stood up to your testing. I like it.

Looks like a good blade mate ☺️
I Like the steel and Bead blastin !
" HIGHLANDER " - There can be only One...

Battle Horse Knives Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was just curious. I just thought it was his design.
@@battlehorseknives2131 Lol...
That necker is awesome. I went to their site but did not see that. I'm looking for something like that for backpacking.
Outdoors With The Banks sub BHK on RUclips they have virtual vaults where they sale them it's like every 3-4 months I got a mini bushcrafter from one
Nice video brother! How long did you use these in the bush before reviewing? Will there be a follow up after a year of use?
Be well
Craig
Nice knife. The little one will be a cool neck knife
I knew it when you showed it on Instagram
Great knife. Honestly, what really makes me not to buy one more BHK is the past experience that I had with them... took ridiculous time for mailing the knife...
Even with their 5-7 day knives?

Battle Horse Knives improved the shipping and mailing processes... I’m not questioning the knives quality...
I have the PLSK-1 basically the same knife great knife
Rennie Smith is it really close or kind of? I heard it’s nearly identical… wondering
I want that knife!!! 😊
KNIce knife, bro!
You should do a review on Anza Knives
Excelenteeeeee
Great review Ben the frontier is awesome 01 tool steel hand made for under 100$ best blade man..
Best video ever Ben, I like This knife . "Is it True One tool option ?? if I go for only 1 knife then this will be my choice
THanks my friend.
Hate polished handles one of the reasons I only own one BRK knife even though there blades are great the handles have no grip
You realize you can order different handle materials right? My current model has hickory handles stained ebony. Lots of options and finishes to choose from!
I said I hate polished handles because I appreciate the fact I have the option either way
4:33
I dig the dedication to finding the exact second he said do do....
Nice knives but I can't bring myself to pay that much for a knife I'm going to beat the crap out of
I feel the opposite. I pay for the ones I CAN beat the crap out of.
Living Survival I get paying for the quality but it's still a decent amount of money
Good news is we offer a lifetime guarantee on every knife we build so if you beat the crap out of it and damage or break it we will repair or replace it for you for free.
Battle Horse Knives well I suppose that is a plus
