    Sometimes I think folks only hear what they want to hear and disregard the rest, I have always said if you only have one tool and it is a knife t should be 3/16" min, and 5" min, these knives were never advertised as a OTO they are knives for the woods for use in Bushcraft etc.. They were not advertised as a OTO or a Survival Knife? We will have blades that meet these Criteria soon, we will be introducing the Spirit soon that is 3/16 and 5". Attention to detail is as important as skills-

    I think it's absolutely wonderful that you finally started your own knife company! I've been waiting for this day for a long while now. I was rather tense waiting for the pricing of the knives, and when I heard what they cost I was overwhelmed with satisfaction. You've certainly gone above and beyond here. Thank you Dave, and everyone affiliated with you and your company. I appreciate EVERYTHING you do for the community.

    I used Rockwell over 50 as a generality they are sitting they are in the high 50's but we dont want to get pigeon holed to an exact 58/59/57 etc... If they throw sparks with a rock they are plenty hard to hold an edge-

    • @Naughtz
      @Naughtz 9 лет назад +1

      Thanks for clarifying that. I was concerned about the broad 50 range. High 50's is all I needed to know.

    • @Survial9999
      @Survial9999 9 лет назад

      ***** Thank you for clearing that up.

    • @CommonCentsOutdoorsman
      @CommonCentsOutdoorsman 9 лет назад +1

      ***** Cool. Maybe you can have a few tested and publish the results just so we can know. Some may not want an HRC too low or too high. It would just be nice to know although I understand what you are saying here.

      @kingswoodkid1985 9 лет назад

      ***** dave, just wondering, is there any plan to do a "nessmuk" style blade?

    • @houseoffire72
      @houseoffire72 9 лет назад +1

      Even non-heat treat carbon steel is hard enough to throw sparks... Maybe test to see what the "range" in rockwell hardness is then state that its from its lowest point to its highest point... 50-55...?

  • @smallwaterfishing22
    @smallwaterfishing22 9 лет назад +2

    Can't wait to buy both styles Dave . Love your channel, you are the reason I started woodcraft / bushcraft I use your channel to teach my kids . Hope to make it to a class one day

  • @Dod01

    Have you heard of a knife maker in the UK called "Jacklore Knives" Dave? He is so busy that he has just stopped taking orders and is now just going to be selling them on his website first come first served. Before that he had a 8mth waiting list. His attention to details is insane lol. You should check him out Dave.

  • @commonsensecamper
    @commonsensecamper 9 лет назад

    Dave, I think this is a great investment for your business and the woodsmen community. Haters will always hate. You could GIVE them a free knife and they would complain that they had to pay for postage. The nay sayers have no idea what it takes to start a venture like opening up a knife shop, the investment, the staffing, training, testing, marketing and risk in taking on a project like this. So just to shut them up Im purchasing one of these knives. To the haters: just go away, don't buy the product, if the product is bad then the knife shop closes. But I'm gonna go on a limb and say that this will most likely be a prosperous venture for Dave and his family.

  • @MikeJamesMedia
    @MikeJamesMedia 9 лет назад

    Cool, Dave! Thank you for producing these, and for NOT producing another $300 or more overbuilt (in my opinion) custom knife. These are the specs that strike a nerve with me, and one of these is now on my list.

  • @simplewoodsman6514
    @simplewoodsman6514 9 лет назад +4

    I am not a big fan of the scandi grind. Initially, it is easily the best woodcrafters edge. As the knife is used, that zero grind rolls and becomes convex. It has always been a difficult edge to maintain. Once it gone, the amount of work involved in getting that zero grind back is tremendous. Which for the woodsman is not practical. Not the ideal woodsman's edge in my opinion. At least as a primary belt knife. Saber or flat for the primary and save that scandi for lighter tasks to save the edge. JMHO and observation.

    @matthedeen2190 9 лет назад

    Great product Dave. as soon as I can I will be purchasing the scorpion don't worry about the naysayers, when it comes to product guarantee I trust you 100%. And the other thing I'd like to say is that steel hardness doesn't always equal steel performance the last thing I want is to get a blade that is so brittle I would be afraid to use it under adverse conditions . Thanks for all your videos your information holds a lot of value with me. looking forward to owning the scorpion.

  • @lloydja007
    @lloydja007 8 лет назад +3

    I wish it had a 5 inch blade. The pathfinder school recommends a 5 inch blade. So it seems strange that they make both PKS knives under 5. I would give the sheath 3 stars. The quality of leather/kydex is really good, but the craftsmanship was a little sloppy. There was a lot of kydex shaving in the sheath that took some time to clean out. Also the kydex was crooked where it connected to the leather. I took all the screws out and reconnect, but its still a little off. I will also put lock tight on the screws to keep it from coming lose and more crooked. I'm being a little picky and I'm still a big pathfinder fan I just would have liked to get a little more for $162. At least now they made the HD and took credit for my idea!

    When I saw your Scorpion I nearly flipped my lid Brother! The Mora Black is my go to knife. I have plenty of custom knives that cost plenty of money but I always go back to my Mora Black... The scorpion looks like a full tang custom version of the Mora, and when you mentioned the price, that's when the lid flipping started! I for one can't wait to get my hands on one! Thanks again for all you do Dave.

  • @grantmarshall418
    @grantmarshall418 9 лет назад

    as a novice knife maker myself and a collector, it is hard to find a good carbon steel fixed blade knife for under $150 and it is harder yet to make one. 1095 is an excellent choice of steel i cant think of a better steel for what you are trying to achieve. love the handles simple and get the job done, excellent! the one thing i would critique, or suggest would be to have a sheath option that does not impede on the handle. i personally prefer to have the blade in the sheath and the handle out of the sheath, just a thought. keep up the amazing work i enjoy every thing you do you are certainly a role model for so many.

    I'm a huge fan Dave you make some very awesome and high quality knifes I've checked them out at More to Life Outfitters in Andersonville, TN they fit perfectly in the hand and are well balanced. My favorite is the grizzly second favorite is black bear. Thank you for everything you do your awesome.

    Great video Dave, I am excited too see that scorpion design, the blade profile looks very similar to a Mora. And boy do I I love my moras. Glad to see you in the knife making business, planning on ordering a scorpion myself. I'll try my best to support my favorite bushcrafts man I know. Peace and Hope all is well.

    Was just wondering how you feel about the new knives you're trying to bring in the market not meeting the standards for the knife required for you basic class?
    Are you planning in the future to produce a knife to meet the requirements?

  • @kaziklu79
    @kaziklu79 9 лет назад

    Interesting that you went with 2 very similar styles of knives. I thought for sure the second one would be a larger blade, or even like the old butcher knife that you love so much and everyone keeps asking about! In any case, welcome to the manufacturing side, good luck, but I doubt you'll need it!

    @dick7540 9 лет назад

    1095 steel hardened to the point that they will throw sparks when struck with flint are fairly brittle and have little resistance to bending without breaking. Maybe a 3/16 inch thick blade would be a little more suitable.
