I don't use a Knife for chopping, I use my Kukuri, my Bolo Machete or my Tomahawk. Great Knives !

Yep, good choices. I also have a very nice Khukuri from Nepal for wood chopping, plus a few tomahawks and a Golok Machete from Condor Tool and Knife.

Not a fan of the buck 119 but it's a good hunt knife but not a bushcraft knife. Not one I'd bet my life on.

I would, its a great knife, for knife tasks. It is not for chopping and batoning wood. Thats what a tomahawk or small axe is for. The Buck 119 was even used by Pilots in Vietnam. So it is a proven design.

I've had my Buck 119 since the late 80's, and for knife tasks its great. Some Pilots in Vietnam carried the 119, so it has to be a good knife. The handle is made from the same stuff that pool balls are made from. As for the tang, it is an over molded reduced tang. So not rat tail, and it goes all the way into the butt cap, which is then pinned to the tang. There are a few video's showing how Buck makes these knives. Now I'd never use it to chop or baton wood with. Because I am old school, so I always have a tomahawk, or light axe with me, and maybe even a small folding saw. But for knife work and perhaps self defense, this is a good knife. Too many people have been blinded by this "One Knife" to do it all, and this whole Bush craft scene. My 119 is made with 425 HC steel. Buck did not start using 420 HC Steel until 1992. But like you said, it takes and holds a great edge, if you know how to sharpen a knife properly.

I have a puma Skinner 5 inch. Very good knife. I have had it for 50 years. 😊 I have skinned about six deer plus.

Cool video. I don't necessarily agree with all of your choices. I get that Buck knives are iconic, and their heat treatment is undoubtedly top notch. I ordered a Buck 120 in CPM S35vn a couple of years ago. But I returned it because it just looked and felt flimsy compared to most of my other fixed blade knives. I think the fixed blade hunting/survival knife industry has progressed to the point where a single slab of metal with a couple handle scales screwed on has proven to be the best way to go for a tough, unbreakable, reliable knife. Even the cheap China-made fixed blades are more indestructible now than the old school Bucks and Pumas, etc. That's my 2 cents😁

Michael - Good comments, well spoken & concise! And in my humble opinion, great picks 👍. Like that you are more real-world experience based and less entertainment driven. Like a lot of good knife info content out there, but many are a little too silly sometimes. You seem like a guy who knows from use. You have a new subscriber👌

I stay away from fixed blades in stainless super steels. I don't believe they are tough enough. Nice design but id like it better in 14c28n. My opinion on WTG to hard to get and rather expensive for basic carbon steel. I've kinda changed my thinking based on my usage. I personally carry a 3-4 fixed blade for most tasks. I carry a 16in machete for clearing trails and stuff. It's cheaper does everything easy to sharpen and light. I carry a mora Garberg or Bps adventure, SRK-C one of those and a folder. Another great knife is kabar cutless machete, GGK sirupate. But like i said lately terrachete by condor. Big knives as much as i love them are not worth the weight. I study FMA so knives and swords are what i train with. Which taught me a machete is the way to go. I enjoy your videos even if i have different opinions it's always good to hear someone else's opinion. There is no right way only different.

Interesting choices. Thank you for your thoughts. The Cold Steel Lloyd Pendleton Classic is an excellent knife. Had one, sold it decades ago - Big mistake! Puma knives made in Germany are also excellent knives, I prefer the White Hunter that I have had for 57 years. I also agree that Buck Knives makes good products, I prefer their 110 and 117 - personal choice.

any mora will do just good enough. but if i'd have to rely on full tang knives, Beckers are awesome too. still, i prefer custom made 6" high carbon 4mm thick, fully flat grind knife made by friend . that thing is prolly better than half of the knives on market based on high carbon steel. never like those exotics steel though.

420HC is a tough steel with a high corrosion resistance. Much tougher then 1095, but it can be a little harder to sharpen. Buck and Gerber both do an amazing job with the heat treatment of this metal. Knife Steel Nerds gives this metal a (9) in toughness, with a (10) being the strongest.

First of all there’s no loveless design here… Second the R1 military classic is an incredibly well executed version of the Randall made knives model one… And for the record the OSS and black bear classic are licensed versions of the loveless sub hilt fighter
