If you need a precise knife, Gunny is a good candidate for you. Bravo1 is a halfway knife in my honest opinion. Shorter blades than Gunny are not useful but just compact. 4 inch narrow blades are the cleverest as a cutting tool in my experience. Thanks.

Call me crazy but I love the sound of your knives cutting that wood! Very cool!

I love my bark river gunny scandi, I've regrinded it with waterstones to get a scandivex grind and I find it's a good all-rounder with one of the most confortable handles in the world. I use it for bushcraft and find it's ok for almost anything: carving, chopping, batoning, feathersticking, food preparation. Cpm 3v is a beast but can chip and I find the scandivex grind to be really strong. Taken out of the box it's not as good, but after 30 minutes on my waterstones it gets a serious knife.

I have learned so much from your videos! You are a fantastic teacher... Thankyou so much for making these videos, I am your humble student... ;)

You are my favorite knife guy!

I have never touched Bravo 2. But it looks too long to me. Bravo 1.5 is in a right size and looks cool, works well in fact. Thanks.

WHAT IS DIS!? You are really stunned by how this knife performed! great review man.

that will make a good test knife for you and i will be watching i really enjoy your sharpening vids thank you sir

Almost all of A2 knives from BR except for Classic Drop Point Hunter don't need regrinding. But almost all of 3V knives need regrinding. A single exception can be Gunny Hunter 3V. Two of the three of mine have no micro beveling out of the box. It is a strong hunting knife for boning. But now I like to regrind bevels to make my specifically needed geometry myself, and buy some 3V knives intentionally to do it. They are Canadian Special, Gunny Scandi, Bushcrafter, Aurora, all in 3V. Thanks.

Its VG-10 steel is on a soft side and doesn't hold long. Its bevel geometry is very fat and doesn't fit hunting purpose or feathersticking. It has a secondary micro V bevel and doesn't take stropping. In conclusion it is a convex looking V edge survival knife suitable for batoning wood.

Is it the gunny scandy the Wiko didn't like and sold it eventually to Mikkie B?😀

I think I'll skip the scandi gunny and just buy a regular one in the future. Just bought my second Bravo 1.5, which is my third Bark River. Thanks for addicting me, Wako. ;)

Excellent vid as always. I'd be interested to know which tool steel the featured Envo Trapper is made from, the 01 or the D2 version? Best regards, Dazza.

interesting comparison video! arigatou!

Another good vid Wako. I hate knives that need reground, which is many. Is there a Knife that you have bought that you had to do no regrinding?

Спасибо за видео!отличный канал!

IS THAT MIKKE Bs KNIFE

Wako, I already have two Bravo 1.5 knives. Should I get a Bravo 1 or Gunny as a more precise knife to carry with the Bravo 1.5?Thank you.

Doc., have you ever tried your hand at making knives? I bet you'd produce some amazing stuff, especially with the knack for grinding you have. I would certainly purchase one.

Great job.....telling the truth. I agree with so many comments pfffff and humffff to that. its a batoning knife as is...should of come from.125 stock.....

Good review, can you do the terava jaakaripukko knife from Finland the 110mm or the 140mm puukko please, bark river an the terava jaakaripukko knife are my favorites besides the pks knives from pathfinder knife shop.ty once again

It's six more weeks until it's duck season where I live. I can't wait. All of my equipment is already prepared. Is it legal to hunt ducks in Japan?

He probably wont have any finger prints left by the time he's done : D

I'm impressed with the bark river Gunny. Would you get the Regular one or the lt ?

@nils-ph3zs

depends on the task.... The regular one is more versatile. It is better for bushcraft and general outdoor tasks. But If you want something light and very slicy (for foodprepping etc) go for the LT.

Hope you get the aurora:-) a good kukri??

would love to see how a zero scandi performs

What is your opinion/experience with Falkniven F1 ??

Wow that scandi on the BRK gunny is terrible! Thanks for the video.

I had a Liten Bror with a similar edge to the scandi Gunny and sold it out. BRKTs scandi-convex edge is 100% useless.

Thought it meant Gunney as in R. Lee Ermey.... .___. I was so lost for like half a second.

Thought he was Slavic for a sec

is ELMAX ( BRK) chippy? How much longer edge holding then 3V ?

@virtuovice

5 жыл бұрын

Elmax holds 1.5 times longer than 3V but can take very tiny micro chips which can be restored easily by stropping. This is the steel property of Elmax. For a hunting knife Elmax is a good steel in my opinion. I don't think Elmax takes large chips easily in another word chippy.

I dont know why they made a scandi knife with such thick stock. Scandi grinds are more suited for thinner knives.

Very shocking results. I like that when you do tests you are ready to change your mind when you see the results compared to what you think you might get, some people are stubborn about knives but you understand when a geometry does not work. I believe this knife bevel simply is not good compared to convex/zero scandi, it just isn't as good imo. But it's very pretty. I hope the new geometry is better.

....maybe easier for sharpening than convex one? :)

No. Its bevel is very low ground convex in reality. They call it Scandi. It is ridiculous.

Yes. But we have little flat land around here and it has to be done near a human dwelled area. So the pellets can fall on there and make a trouble. Dwellers can call police just because of the firing sound. Bird lovers can call it. I ever experienced it some times. Thanks.

I'll buy the gunny scandi off you?

Your disappointment seemed to border on disgust. However, it became evident that the knife was a poor performer compared to your other blades. Interesting video. Thanks!

Virtuovice: it would be very helpful if you name the brand and model of the knifes you are showing on uour videos. I have watched 2 videos I like a lot,

It is 12C27. Thanks.

So you do not like the Gunny Scandi at all?
