    I’ve had many of these that were the real deal, they are basically impossible to brake, not sure where you got this one or who made it but the Camillus ones the military issued are tanks. Imo this must be a nock off to break this easily. Dave Canterbury just uploaded a video on military gear to buy before it’s gone and this knife was one of the things he mentioned because he said “I’ve never seen one break” so I’m not alone in this opinion, I kinda hate this knife because it’s hard to sharpen well, but again I’ve never seen one break at the guard ever, in 30+ years of being around this knife in use. Who made yours?

    • @FollowTheCompassNorth
      @FollowTheCompassNorth 2 дні тому

      This one was military issued. I am shocked he would have said that since they break all the time at the SERE school where they were used exclusively for many, many years so there is plenty of evidence of it.

      @@FollowTheCompassNorth they must have given the contract to someone else in recent years the old pre 1990’s ones were tanks, you never know what contractor they get for $2 less y’a know, the one I grew up with was a nam era Camillus and it was so hard you couldn’t sharpen it with normal stones, I beat the piss out of it being a kid and never broke it despite it being used like a baton crazy person lol. I’d think this accounts for our different experiences, as easy as that tang bent that one wasn’t as hard as nails for sure, the ones I had you might have been able to snap but they definitely wouldn’t bend like that. I’m a knife maker and pretty much agree on the full tang thing, I was just surprised that you had issues with these after my experience with them. I believe the later contract ones were Ontario made or at least they made them and had an nsn number but I never bought one because there’s better knives imo

    Katadyn makes a charcoal filter for the Pocket Pro. Buy once cry once with the pocket pro. It’s heavy but the thing is machined like it came out of an aerospace contractors machine shop. It’s a shame the price has gone up so much, I purchased mine for less than 200$ about 10 years ago. It’ll never break but if I lost it I’d buy another.

    The slack in the crank & cable isn't necessarily from the gantry dropping, its more likely the cable just slacking up after the gantry is clamped. Once the gantry is clamped, the cables have no bearing on the position of the gantry.

  • @christopheranderson2769
    @christopheranderson2769 8 днів тому

    I have an idea..... dont bury your knife to the hilt in a hard wood. A "survival knife" is meant for crafting disposable tools and cutting your food. The only thing that knife should be doing is creating more survival tools.. like a sling, spears, spoons, bowls, rope. Back in the day a good knife cost as much as a good rifle and most people cared for them like they were made of gold. Just bring an axe. I bought a 2 bit axe for $5 and can use one side for spliting and the other for fine carving. But i can also bury it in a log and use both hands to drag the wood accross the edge.
