What do you think about that Enlan knife?

[DackIsBack]

"don't cut yourself"

*sigh* I did this morning... surprise, surprise... the Spydie Co. Tenacious got me too... lmfao just got it in the mail... same place as cutlerylover but perpendicular to the edge of my thumbnail not across it - my thumbnail stopped it going to the bone fortunately it didn't split the nail.

I think they chose the right name when they called it Tenacious... it really is a vicious bugger lol.

If you buy it, expect to get cut... until you're used to the feel of it.

Nice info. Thanks.

[mrlaserguy2]

I thought that first Meyerco was a HTM so I cringed when u used it with the ferrocerium rod

[glockmeister26]

I modified my spyderco delica. It came out a little rough but let me try it out for a while.

[SrJoben]

Great video buddy, thanks.

[mccullenj]

Good tips. From what I understand from a legal point of view a in a self-defense situation a slash is easier to defend as defensive and a stab can be considered offensive in a court of law.

[kickorybot]

Cutlerylover is back

[pbplayer2327]

@gavkoo i think cutlerylovers account is back up

[TalonTSI95]

I agree with you 100% about lock strength.

[gspade14]

great tips.... thanks for the vid.



[47trea]

some really great info Gav, thank you!

[Laggeros]

Stabing could be deadly, even if i had to defend myself i think stubing is not the best option. Anyway really cool vid, i do love your ideas ;] I am not keen on emersong feature, even if it is handy and helpful, i dont know i just dont like this ;P

[Valerieannleeh]

Excellent video, you've got lots of knowledge and in that handsome head of yours ;)

[BulletCastDuo]

Oh man ... Would be better if you had done this videos some time ago^^ Recently i destroyed my Spyderco Endura 4 because i tryed to baton the regular way during camping ;D

Nevertheless ... awesome video ... as alwasy ;D

About time someone put on a video you don't need Carbon steel to strike a ferro rod. It annoys me to no end when someone mentions striking a ferro rod requires a certain steel. I use a rock my nephew gave me, and it hasn't failed me.

Watch out on the MeyerCos. My MaxxQ (recurve blade) developed a crack from behind the thumb stud on the spine of the blade. The thumb studs impact the handle scales when the blade locks open. Maybe I just got a dud, these new MeyerCos do look/feel nice. Good tips. Thanks for sharing.

[steveo6891]

Good video . I like the look of the black assisted folder in the end part of the video.

[knifelover21]

Thank you for the info! Good day man

[YoungBrave2006]

I love it when you say "don't cut yourself."

[YoungBrave2006]

I will add only to this vid, that magnesium blocks are absolutely useless. Magnesium, when ignited will not stop burning; however, the ignition point of magnesium is extremely high.  No fire that you can ignite in the wilderness will get magnesium combustion started. None.

[SrJoben]

@YoungBrave2006 Unless you scrape dust and shavings off one and ignite it with a firesteel. It's used to start fires, you don't try to ignite it after the fire is going and you don't try to burn a whole block.

[stonybrokebushcraf]

cool tips gav thanks man

[edwdixon5]

What is the knife with the red and black scales?

[thomassmyth65]

@edwdixon5 its a kershaw ram

[edwdixon5]

@thomassmyth65 Much obliged.

[nightstalkersasslt]

In army combative training course we seen pics where a guy was slashed over 30 times and lived while another guy was stabbed once and died. I would used slashing movement during entry.

[avalon449]

Nice vid, great tips!

[mtyd05]

I thought NY was kinda nazish when it comes to carrying blades on you

[GTVi2003]

I am a firm believer of fixed blades in a survival/camping situation, with a folder being a backup knife only. Always have a backup...as the saying goes, "one is none, and two is one!"

[kessler003]

Gotta love the Gavko Wave Modification!!!!

[Boogerpresley04]

@Boogerpresley04 Videos.

[Boogerpresley04]

Great vid im glad you prefer fixed blades. I think most of the people i watch on youtube focus on folders and i love fixed blades as well so i always appreciate your. Ideos.

[cam131313cam]

great wave idea!

[BlazeStar1109]

Gavko ur SWOLL u can just beat some1s ass u dnt need a knife!

[evcrawfish]

gavkoo, at 6:52 you show the notch on the blade, i don't understand what that is for... and i didn't hear what you called it. can you please do a video and explain why you notch the blade like that and what it is used for... please ....lol. thank you sir

[miner1821]

@evcrawfish its a wave its so when you pull the knife out of your pocket it will catch onto to your pocket and the blade will open as you pull the knife out

[evcrawfish]

@miner1821 very cool, thanks. i used your info and researched on utube and saw a vid on how to do it. thank you very much.... only problem is "i just had to modify my spiderco" LOL... and wouldn't u know it, i cut my finger... oh well, it was worth it, because now my spidey has a wave.

[Romanlegionnaire77]

Power to the fixed blades:)!

[fartx211]

I find you can accidentally put a pretty substantial force on the lock when you cut into something that causes the blade to get stuck, like wood, or a pumpkin, then you instinctively pull the blade back up. Although this force is still pretty small.

[iiFumbles]

Great vid! do you buy your grips for your custom knives? if you make them can you please make a tutorial? It would be greatly appreciated! :D

[freestylmx311]

self defense: forget the knife just a quick kick to the nuts works fine :)

[dan32663266]

you told e almost everyday "dont cut yourself" guess what happend today :P

[1337Leva]

no no no, when using a knife you have to throw it at their face as a distraction and run while screaming very loud...

[staticx2552]

what fixed blade is that ?

[OriginalOwner777]

Great video gavkoo I agree with you about locks the only ones I dont like are back locks the traditional lock knife locking mechanism I have had the lock snap on me in heavy use before because of course in push down tasks your putting the pressure right on the lock bar I cant comment on axis locks as I have no experience yet so far I prefer liner or frame locks and yup fixed blades are best. Plus if you used a couple of metal wedges you could plank an oak tree its medieval tech for timber gather

[BenTheDream1018]

Very cool video!

[Otter2116]
