The grooves in a blade are not for blood that a tall story lol it is for weight reduction and shaping inthe case off the evink reindeer herders in Northern Russia nkife which is convext no one side of the blade and a groove hammered out down the other side to make the convex side amazing nkife and very versatile hunting woods craft trap making food prep ect and any modern nkife its for weight reduction or looks hope that info is interesting to you I love nkife of all types and collect them 😀
Hey clay I recon you should do a giveaway on the Simon walker knife bc I just got in to piggin I live in Australia and have been looking for a good sticker
Clay you can buy the ceramic rods on line they are magic i use them often as not aggressive and get them ripping sharp 😉 unless the blade needs a reprofile but I try not to let it get to that but shit happens lol
Clay for the best sharpening “steel” u said u like a smooth “steel” get urself a ceramic “stone” Mine is mounted in a handle the same as any other hand sharpening steel but it’s totally smooth. Don’t drop it like I did with the other one I bought as it smashed like glass. But holy crap does it hone delicately a razor edge. I’ve used it for 30 yrs an it’s barely worn, I use it for my hunting knives, my filleting knives, my wife’s kitchen knives an best of all my arrow broad heads. Let me know if u r interested an I’ll send u a photo as like I said I’ve used it forever an it’s barely worn so I think it wood last probably treated properly a hundred yrs or more an I’m not kidding I’ve barely scuffed it👍
Nice your collection 👌 on The knifes quality Steele tooooo Clay bro Napier hardest East coast finest lol alday everyday rain hail snow hunting on stagz to catch wahoooo
I’ve watched a lot of your videos I’m not a hunter in any shape or form but enjoy watching your videos I would just like to point out one thing and it’s an important thing that you really need to address there is one name that is missing from your good bastards list and that is yours it should be right at the top you have an amazing hart and are a great guy keep and all the things you do and remember to look after yourself as well respect too you
Great video Clay my dad bought me a Brusletto from Norway when I was about 10 still got it I'm 51 started a lifelong obsession I've got 40/50 knives now fixed blade/folders/cooking and agricultural a knife for every occasion cheers
Agreed. Victory are really good plus made in NZ. I struggle to understand why anybody in this country with our damp wet environment would prefer a carbon knife. I own a few svords, alot of victory and a few swiss and german knives and the idea that carbon holds a better edge and longer is a complete load of bullshit with a few that say there are also easier to sharpen. I know they have a finer grain and are less likely to chip due to lack of chromium but what makes a knife chip is usually poor knife skills. If high carbon stainless steel is so shit then why do all the meat processing plants around the world use it including here. We are surrounded by water here in NZ so why, just why would you not keep up with the times and have something that is more durable and requires less maintenance that can also handle a salty environment. The rap that stainless knives got of being no good was over 100 yrs ago and have come such a long way from then. Most hunters keep up with the times with gps , waterproof gear but then have this strange idea about steel. From a person who use to use knives in one week more than what most people would in a year!
That skinner you weren't sure about is 100% a green river, you can see the remnants of the sticker on the handle
Bloody good
you forgot the one that was around your neck
Yeah I did. I am going to include a small segment on pocket knives through one of my bigger vlogs.
pretty sure that bayonet is from a WW2 mauser, M1935? I wonder if the knife you made was from a lawn mower blade lol
Quite possibly

Interesting

I have given away many knives to those who have earned the right and still do.
Please show your butcher steels.
the groove in them is not for blood its actually to reduce weight its called a fuller groove
Good info
Just a tip mate my old dad says put a small ball of wool at the bottom of the sheaf ensures the bottom doesnt get penetrated
Brilliant tip 👏
The bayonet is pretty cool. Its either yugoslavian or german, off a mauser 8mm, might even date to WW1.
Agree, the length and pommel give it away. Also the 1907 pattern bayonet for the 303 is nearly twice as long.

the file knife was given to you by a boy that came with his dad clay
Thanks for reminding me mate. Well done. I do remember him now. A good kid and nice family.
You canny have to many knifes mate 👍🏴
You need to get a CNi knife Clay... See Vaughan in Tapanui to get in touch with Colin Nichol.🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thank you Clay love your working man's collection of knives
No stainless? Someone send this man a quality stainless knife to change his mind.........
Yes I have some victory stainless
Knife maintenance makes them last longer 😂
Nice your collection 👌 on The knifes quality Steele tooooo Clay bro Napier hardest East coast finest lol alday everyday rain hail snow hunting on stagz to catch wahoooo

Love your vids Clay! Just wondering what’s happened with Arbs? Has he finished all the Reno’s at your place?
He is coming to my place this week

Many thanks Jimmy
Nice video Clay, perhaps you could do one about knife sharpening and maintenance? Cheers mate, all the best.
Will do
The one you didn’t know the name that had been in grease for 20yrs looks very much like a Dexter russel.
Cheers
what the best bush craft knife
Thanks Clay, some history learnt. Cheers.
Great video Clay my dad bought me a Brusletto from Norway when I was about 10 still got it I'm 51 started a lifelong obsession I've got 40/50 knives now fixed blade/folders/cooking and agricultural a knife for every occasion cheers
I'm sure I am Dana's real dad
Sushi knives;
The best sushi and sashimi knives are single bevel. So the back of the knife is concave and the blade is honed to a point on one side.
Good info mate
Legend,
Great knife from my dad Vaughn! He’s got my knifes wicked sharp for when I start my apprenticeship under him in a few months or so!
Awesome collection!
What a nice set of knives.
Love the patina on most of them! Each is telling lots of Storys for sure 👍🏻
I had that same bayonet as a kid. Ordered it from a catalog and used it as a little sword.
Of all I really like the orange handled one in the Outro...very pleasing to the eye.
Just came to watch the last few been out hunting last few days and boom a brand new one
Simone Walker is good at knives isn't h e
Did a young fella make the file knife.

There is a place for both. Value for money you can not go past victory
Victory make stainless and there is nothing wrong with it
