I love David. I have been blessed to have met David in the bush on multiple occasions. That was over 10 years ago, still forwards walking and he still has the same sunflower shirt.
I love this knife. I purchased it because of this video, also got to meet Mr. Holladay 3 times and he is very knowledgeable, also I am a big fan of TJACK Survival.
Always enjoy hearing this man talk. A wealth of knowledge in that mind. If I end up getting a new hunting/bushcraft knife in the near future, this would be on the short list for sure.
Could listen to him talk all day ....and he is so correct there isn't one knife that does it all...people who have used knives for years understand that ....I also love that Dave used Archaelogy to help design the blade ...Natives know knives ...especially in the early times of North America ....Great Video Guys !!,;;; Spook
as usual a good presentation and well thought out design. use of ancient technology = hundreds/thousands of years of refining what works within the physical limitations of available materials (the wrist drop/flip to free the hand then use the tool an example). good going "cousin-in-law" as I like to call you.
"I have this part of me that can make any knife I have functional and work great because I have my skills, not because of the knife". I agree with his statement, that at the end of the day, it's your knowledge and skillset that makes the tool perform. I appreciate that he sees an aesthetic value in the tool, that should please the user. Call it spiritual perhaps, but I do believe it is one more way we can connect with the ancient ones and honor the heritage we all share as Americans. Blessings.
Thanks a lot man for the video that is a beautiful knife! Just as Mister Holiday said and he has used it I can think of a lot of uses for that particular knife. Any man that says he has one knife to do it all really doesn't know knives very well. In my go bag I have 4 not counting my everyday pocket knife and I couldn't tell you how many I have in my camping equipment I really never sat down to count them and I don't know how many I have in my whole collection but I do know it's a lot. Thanks for the video y'all have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry!
@@TJackSurvival One question I have, is how the upswept tip does when it comes to making the divot for friction fire; I suspect it's just a new dance step to learn, but do you have a take on it?
@@Ghost_Os works fine. Most knives before the Loveless drop point hunter looked like this because it’s a great skinner. No one struggled making a notch with them. It’s a non issue.
@@TJackSurvival Many thanks! I can definitely see the skinning advantage; rest your finger right behind that sweep, and it's like having a curved razorblade right on your fingertip. Thanks again for the reply 😊
The 90 degree spine isnt only for striking a fero rod. It scrapes bark from wood very well to make wood tools, arrow shafts & walking sticks. I really like the functional design but it's way overpriced for this reservation ndn. Dave's shirt is nice.
Looks like a solid blade. I too like a puuko flat point, but there are undeniable uses for the big belly of this design too. I also prefer a sharpened spine, but chewing up batons is definitely a thing with them. Glad to be redeemed for owning 50 knives!
I live everything but, wish the Gaye’s was just a bit bigger. I have Arthritis and fibromyalgia so I have a very weak grip and my hands slide up too easily. And I need a longer guard to brace my hand. But so many well thought out features on this knife.
Good info . I like cold steel knives but that’s just me. I don’t have 50. But I do have 2 one for deer one for fish . Hatchet for everything else that’s just me tho I like the string in handle and the steel protruding from back that seems good

I met David Holladay a few times he is an awesome guy. Great knife and Video.
My Mom would really like his shirt. She loves sunflowers.

Cant wait for the next batch to drop, this is definitely on my radar.
Love it, David.
Always words of reason and common sense.
David is a real gem 👍

I can only agree with this. He gets it, as do you.
@@TJackSurvival a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing it.
Reminds me alot of an old Buck Kalinga model.
I can kinda see it looking like a buck

Hey Terry your comments are always full of knowledge born of experience. Thank you for that.
Nice well thought out design. I’d give it a good work out.
Thanks 😊
This guy is so cool
Yes he is!
I think the knife you carry depends of the environment that you are in but if it’s the only thing you have I’m sure we all could make it work
Yessss! Been waiting for this one!
Me too actually.

Seems like quite a knife. And nice shirt.
He made that, and loves those shirts.
Two things. One, want to try this knife. Two, I want to meet him.
I know a guy that can make both of these things happen.
Likewise. Wish I lived closer.
Can you let David know this message is from TJ. his Apache family in CBQ miss him... Also i want one of his knifes. How can i get one..

Loved it…although that yellow shirt looks like a mafia boss..😎😎…but you can see those are working hands…

5 inch tops is all I'll go for iv been a kabar man all my life till recently .

This knife has a lot of extra features, most bushcraft knives don't incorporate quite a large percentage of these extra small design elements.
My dad used say Expert= “Has been drip under pressure. 😂
I couldn’t find a price on the knife? Do I have to set up an account to do that?
No just contact Schenk knives they sell them. Call if needed.
Good enough for him , be good enough for anyone
My thoughts exactly
Good info . I like cold steel knives but that’s just me. I don’t have 50. But I do have 2 one for deer one for fish . Hatchet for everything else that’s just me tho I like the string in handle and the steel protruding from back that seems good
If that works for you then well that works for you and that’s what matters
