TBS Boar - A Folding Bushcraft Knife

- Опубликовано: 5 май 2019
- Not really known in the US, The Bushcraft Store, sells an impressive range of gear - including their own range of dedicated bushcraft knives. This video looks at the smallest in their range - The Boar EDC.
A non-locking folding knife, with a stainless steel blade and cutting edge of less than three inches and a scandi grind....but is it any good?
Neil,I truly love this channel and all it's content.thank you so much for sharing this!cheers from the States.
Great review mate, looks like a fantastic folder 👍👍👍
All the best

A Host with Class can bring a Respected Review. This is the best Quality Review I've seen on any product for a long time. Great Job here Pal & Thank You, ... Mike.
I’m new to the channel and I’m really enjoying the relaxing vibe to your videos. Looking forward to watching more. 👍
I was lucky enough to just be given one of these knives and I totally agree with you Neil, it's a great folder :)
Great video and I agree with your opinion on the knife. I've had mine about 18 months now and absolutely love it. It's probably my most used knife and often the only knife that I take out on my camping trips.
Cheers Barney, I know you are another Boar user and your set up is similar to mine (another "enlightened " bushcrafter!).
Great review Neil, totally agree that there isn’t much a pocket knife can’t do. Thanks again for sharing. All the best from Scotland. Garry
Cheers buddy, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice review Neil, had one of these for a few years now, great wee folder and robust making it suitable for lots of heavy duty tasks.
Cheers Farqhuar, who needs a woodie when you have one these.
Neil , thanks for sharing
Great video Neil, I’ve had a TBS bushcraft folder for a few years now too. I initially bought it as a matching companion for my TBS Boar, but I actually use it much more often than the Boar. It’s a great little knife, very reasonably priced and extremely functional.
It is a great little knife Justin. Great to see you are doing well buddy (loving the secret ink stuff too)
Hi Neil thanks for such a thorough and honest review. I’ve just bought today the same but in Turkish walnut, can’t wait for the postie to arrive. Thanks again. All the best from Scotland. Garry
No worries my friend. I'm sure you will get many years of use from it. Enjoy
Found you from a shout-out from Far North Bushcraft and Survival, and I'm glad I did! I've subscribed, and I'm looking forward to your future videos. Now I have to dig through your older videos for all the good stuff! :)
Thanks Josh. I hope you enjoy the rest of the channel.
I live in the states and you are correct, not a lot of people here know about tbs knives. i bought the tbs grizzly fixed blade knife several years ago. I think it was 2015/2016. Its one of my favorite bushcraft knives. I always wanted to get the boar fixed blade because the grizzly is just a little too big for most bushcraft stuff ... although, if you forgot an axe, its a great chopper with the thickness of the blade and the weight.
Great little knives. Most of the time it's all the knife I need. Their leather pouches are good too. I've never got the hang of your firesteel technique of pulling the steel over the back of the knife. I just use the folded knife to scrape the rod.
Cool review ,sweet knife...
Thanks for the video, I’ve got one in the post 😃
I love the look of that knife, and I also loved that way of striking that fire steel.
If you like the knife, stay tuned to the channel next week my friend
@@greencraft4783 I always do sir I am a subscriber and admirer of your work.
Bought mine last year and have enjoyed using it. As you said nice little handy bush crafter knife and EDC legal. Also just sub'd to your channel. Keep the faith.
great review mate the fact u can tighten up the hinge of the knife so when carving the knife wont retract back and cut ur hand is a big selling point for me were most edc knifes are a bit dangrous coz u can not do that and i know boar are a good knife as i have the full tang version witch is great for dartmoor but noot so much local woods keep up the good work.
nice vid
Neil, I really enjoy watching your videos.
That knife is a cute and very handy little blade. Unfortunately I already have all the kit I need when I'm out in the woods, so I won't be buying one.... yet!
HOWever.... I just saw you doing something with that knife that caused me to shudder!!
Back in the day (I did my bit in the 70s and 80s) I learned that it is very important to keep your "small" blade nice and sharp. It was therefore difficult for me to see you using that blade to scrape bark.
Would It not be possible to use the 90° spine of the blade to scrape your birch powder?
Keep making the videos! They are very authentic, down to earth, and interesting.
Cheers,
Chris.
Ow and sorry Neil for the typo I put nigel prodictive text lol
Hello Daz,
The Opinel has a lot going for , they are cheap, very lightweight and dependable. The only downside is their lock and uk law. I use my opinel a lot for all the above reasons. Have you looked at the No8 Garden knife?
Hi Neil thanks a million for getting back in touch I haven't tried the garden on I use the at the minute a opinel number 8 is the garden one any better . Would you say the boar is worth the money for what you could do with it or can you do just the same eas of carving with the opinel garden knife
@@darrengreaves3068 the opinel is as capable as the boar. I prefer the shape of the garden knife, and find it very practical, especially when preparing food.
If this knife had a choil which it quite easily could id carry this over my thousands of pound uk carry collection. Just needs that choil
Hi nigel hope your keeping well I'd love you advise I have all ways had the opinel knives as my bushcraft folding knives I'm really on the fence that tbs slip joint knife look great is it worth the £ 69.99 didn't want to purchase one if the opinel performs the same because the tbs costs considerably more look forward to your option keep up with the FANTASTIC videos all the best .Daz
👍😊
Hi, great video... Having just bought my self one of these knives after hearing your oppinion. I notice the colouring of your handle is slightly different than mine. Do you wax or oil the handle? Thanks Mark
No, but all wood darkens with age, add to this the oils that come off your hands. That may explain it. Thanks for commenting Mark
What would it take for that knife to be good for batoning? Longer, thicker blade, a locking mechanism?
Batoning a folding knife runs the risk of damaging the pivot and the back spring. It's always better to use a full or stick tang knife.
@@farquharwilson2523 thank you for that but of info, didn't consider the parts that could be damaged but still wonder what it would take to make a folder safe to do that with.
Don't suppose you have tried a tbs wildcat have you?
Your government literally has the most crazy knife laws, its down right embarrassing and oppressive.
Great looking knife .
And it's getting worse. Because teenage gangs want to stab eachother with kitchen knives a responsible adult carrying a fixed blade bushcraft knife or locking folder is breaking the law.
the silly thing is teenagers who go stabbing pepole use kitchen knifes ect they wont pay for a nice bush craft knife wich makes our laws idiotic and stupied and its getting so bad some times the police try to take edc knifes off u unless u know ur rights and the law.
You'd be surprised what an English man can do with 3 inches
@@glennyhombomb4170 😄
What's the difference between this and the ahma model?
I think it's bigger and has a locking blade
@@greencraft4783 👍✌
Nice smock, what's it called.
No idea Taff!, but I bought it from Kev at Endicotts, give him a call and ask him for the one Neil1 wears and he will know what you want. They don't cost much, but are really good.
@@greencraft4783 thanks mate, I used to have something similar but lost it years ago.
Brilliant video really enjoyed watching. That looks a great knife I'm going to buy one for my 800sub giveaway on my channel. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
You're breaking the law just as much carrying the axe!
Am I? How?
@@greencraft4783 has good reason, id learn sec 139
Why the hell would you break the law by using a non locking knife for outdoor fun??? Wtf.
Why do people who say they care about nature, the woods, etc., light relatively big fires on, and drastically scar, the forest floor just to boil a kettle? If you need warmth in a survival situation that's fair enough, but for a day out in the countryside and a cuppa or some lunch think again!
Please, all you bushcraft RUclipsrs, take an alcohol stove with you......or maybe try making a small wood stove/gasifier from soup tins and use a few fallen twigs for your brew.
Rant over, thanks
Fires here and there in the woods are actually beneficial for the woodland itslef , you need to think about what youre saying before spouting loads of shit . Alcohol stoves are for certain situations .
Intelligent, well-worded reply, Thanks.
Are the benefits of campfires dotted around the place the reason that it is ILLEGAL to light a campfire anywhere in England, Wales and Northern Ireland - without the express permission of the landowner, and under strict regulations in Scotland? Your logic would indicate that we should all light fires anywhere we like. In fact, knowledge of the environment and conditions is vital and the main reason the law exists. You, and others who enjoy the great outdoors may like to have a glance at the link below:

@@philbray2179 ohhh so it's "ILLEGAL" omg noooo way. So you go by some morally relative man's law that in my opinion is laughable at best , telling you that you can't go about and enjoy the woodland and light a fire to comfort yourself and make a cuppa tea etc because some psychopaths in power won't allow it ? No mate that's not how most sound minded individuals operate . If you're not harming anyone , if you're respecting the woodland and nature I say it's fine for anyone to go about their life and do that. Morally relative laws are something people need to really start questioning. The only law you need to follow is don't steal . It encompasses everything morally right to do.
@@philbray2179 In point of fact, it's generally not illegal (i.e. something you can be prosecuted for). It might, however, be unlawful, which is a different matter, meaning that the landowner could sue you in the civil courts for compensation arising from any damage/loss resulting from your firemaking activity. The position may be different in Scotland, which has its own laws. Paul Kirtley's blog, to which you refer, is particularly remiss in failing to distinguish between what the law actually says, and what he thinks you should or shouldn't do, although it doubtless contains some useful guidance.
There do seem to be two types of outdoors enthusiast: those who quietly get on with 'doing their thing', and others who, armed with a smattering of incomplete knowledge, think they have some God-given right to loudly and arrogantly take others to task.
Well this is old but heres my 2 penith. I'd believe that most gents who genuinely take an interest in bushcraft and light small to medium sized fires on the woodland floor do genuinely practice a leave only foot prints and take only photos approach to clearing the area and dispersing the soot, ashes, and remains of a well extinguished fireplace. And these folks light fires with thought and care using the fire for food , warmth and or a drink. What is a problem I'm sure in all our opinons is the fires that are surrounded by stones and are a regular spot for fires by people who have as big a fire as possible and then leave all their empty cans and plastic and half burnt toxic plastic wrappers strewn across the woodland floor. These regular hot fires surely are the only types of fires that cause lasting deep damage to tree roots and the ground? I personally use an alcohol trangia stove for ease only but it wont keep you warm AT ALL. There is wild fire "off the ground" metal cradles available that are a legal requirement in Sweden for bushcraft fires. FYI cheers
