You are absolutely correct about tools - "one tool option" is now ubiquitous but a spurious concept based on survivalist fantasies where one is stranded and just happens to have this "one tool" to hand. What you are saying is Platonic philosophy in action a thing participates in the form of what it is - hence a knife is not an axe because the form and therefore the function (the participation in that form) is different. Good stuff! Perhaps more pertinant would be the commonalities and differences between a knife and parang or machete.
Yes. Not sure why this philosophy of use of tools escapes some people. I always have a large chopper like the BK9, RD9 or SP51 on my pack for backpacking.
your customization decisions make for a beautiful piece of tool. the tip appears more aggressive than the average bk9. you've introduced me to osage orange, its beautiful. Ive heard of it, buy never seen it. it's lovely. it is what it is, but carrying a knife like this makes people think you are crazy. I despise that judgement. human beings have survived to this moment because there are tools like this for them to use. for that reason I would be cautious as to where I bear this tool. with the bk9, in the wilderness one would die due to lack of knowledge rather than a lack of tools (hyperbole, but you get the point) haha, oh shit, you said this after I wrote it. haha
Generally a knife that is used often in heavy applications, like this knife, tends to abrade rust off quite readily. I do not force patinas and I live in a pretty wet environment and rarely have any issues. Thanks for watching!
I'm no used to hearing Jason Statham talk quite so much, but thumbs up!
Immediatly what I thought
Had mine for over 10 years, it is the one Tool option for the woods. It can do anything, use it all the time for processing fire wood.

Very well said. Thank you so much for watching.

Like ur vid man going to sub
Ya man, that shieth is super nice. Good taste imo
my favorite knife , i subbed your channel Brother .
where did you get the osage handle scales?
Osage is wood ... He could have made them himself ... Not that i know for sure one way or the other ...
That is some real cool modding. Question, does 1095 not rust easily without the coating?

@@glbwoodsbum2567 Sounds great, thank you for the comment!
Use a thin coating of vaseline on the blade. It wont rust. Use the knife, clean it, protect it. It wont rust.
If Im going to the woods, I've got a large knife, small folder, and an axe or hatchet. They're NOT that heavy.
There is a reason why in every culture European cultures included large knives were used.
What's the contact info for the sheath maker?
He is no longer making sheaths.
Where did you buy this version can't find one thats not black
I stripped the coating off with paint stripper.
Dude started with the scoop he gave the wife for throwing $150 at a knife bro we all did we know what’s up
