How to modify your BK-2 to use a Ferro Rod, Equip 2 Endure

[TheYennieYeti]

hey what kind of rod was that?

[martinjlopez87]

@Equip2Endure

Adam I just finished the design for my knife and i have begun forging it. I was wondering if I could send you one and you could do a review of it. Thanks Martin

[Equip2Endure]

@martinjlopez87 , sure, just shoot me an email.

[martinjlopez87]

[Equip2Endure]

@Equip2Endure

Have you thought of doing a head to head with 1/4" monsters?:

Ontario Ranger Afghan, Becker BK2, ESEE RC-5, Buck/TOPS Short Nighthawk, Tops Black Rhino, ETC.

Thanks for all the vids!!!

[MrJenks2010]

hey Adam, i have all ready done that to my beaker BK2 and it work freaking awesome!!! I also odered micarda scales that i wil put a blow drill hole on it as well.

[Tancrad]

i see 4 different HHLW Sheaths, and all 4 kabar zombie knives there ;)

[trexbattle]

what is a good age to go get a bear grylls ultimate knife by gerber

[BackwoodsBlades]

@trexbattle depends on how the recipient plans on using the knife, and if you trust them as a responsible individual.

[MrLoiti100]

Great video, Adam!

[DicksOnTheMic]

You should review the down under knives the outback, I am interested in purchasing it as a bushcraft knife. And would be interested to know if it is worth my time.

[firengolf]

Stripped mine and forced a patina to protect. Then sharpened spine with a file.

Zombie hunter nation! Nice video.

Hate to be a dick about this, but you're at least the third person (including Dave Canterbury) I've heard pronounce "ferrocerium" as "ferocium." It is called ferrocerium because it is an alloy composed mainly of iron and cerium (also, lanthanum, praseodymium, neodymium, magnesium.) Anyway, otherwise great video, keep up the good work.

[96mrluke]

Hey Adam, i can see those Ka-bar zombie knives in the background and it would be great if you get a review of them out. thanks

[NohbdyThere]

I'd love to see the reviews you said you were gunna post about the zombie knives.

[wingman115]

I had my Tops Xcest profiled like that. I took it to a gentleman that sharpens knives and he ran it on his belt sander. It works great!

[SerJahPhoto]

It's not a firestarter, it's a welding machine! Were did you get it? It must be at least 20 bucks..

[neversurdender]

it still didnt spark as well as the Blindhorse knives knife.

[BaoMatt82]

Any chance of the Lofty Wiseman survival tool being reviewed in the future?

[Ryder0001]

Hey Adam when you gonna post the vids of all those beautiful zombie blades ?

[EnduringEagle]

Would it be possible to use the glass breaking side for Ferro rod?

[TheHigherVoltage]

I like the concept, but wouldn't a vice and small round file work better? Make a nice 1/4 moon groove for better rod control and less coating removal?

[TheM14ebr]

are those kabar zombie killers in the background?

[albi131]

@TheM14ebr Yes

[labandit1]

Adam, Aircraft remover will work MUCH better. Plus you do not take away any metal or convex the edge. it can be applied easily and with more control than grinding the finish away. ;)

[stonybrokebushcraf]

good stuff my friend

[JackedLobster]

I thought about trying to get fancy and machining a semi circular notch in the back of mine sort of like what you see on the Bear Grylls knife, Adam, but I bet it would be a lot tougher than what you're suggesting! Cool.

[alymuni]

"To trow a spark, in a bucket full of flammable stuff " WOOOF :)

[Heezzy04]

I bought a Light My Fire Mini and it fits perfect in the little groove toward the handle. No modification needed. Just a little food fo thought.

[ib516]

Just wondering...what if you filed or ground it the otehr direction Adam? That way there would be a small edge hanging over the spine as the sanding/grinding removed material....

[staysharp84]

or instead you can just file the spine flat in a small secession

[mikeinajeep]

I did this exact thing to the knife,, last week. Great minds think alike! Another thing I did was fill the handle with waxed jute cord and attach an Allen key.

[VHF1138]

quite awesome and simple, thanks for sharing!

[nchiker1971]

Awesome idea, thanks!

[midwestiowashooter]

I have a BK TacTool but I don't see good reviews out there on it. Would you mind checking it out?

[midwestiowashooter]

Looks like a plus for the BG knife that has this built in from the factory. I'll have to bite this for my other blades

[docnightfall]

Don't ever use the edge to strike a ferro rod!! The extremely high temperature will ruin the heat treatment of that section of the blade, and even if you resharpen it afterwards, it will dull more quickly than before.

[leighrate]

Adam, Plan B. As in a Becker Remora. BK-13. Took me around 1 min to modify the spin for use with a ferro rod. Saves you compromising your big knife's coating.

[mynineridesshotgun]

I did this a couple of weeks ago with my diamond rod.

[Naturliebe]

Nice idea and good job , Adam.

Be careful that you do not burn down your garage. ;o)

All the best.

Greetings Tito

@patrick110664 It's 110. you would need a step-down transformer.

[ZeroTolerance1119]

What fire steel was that, its seems to throw bigger sparks than the one i have?

[JCSoftWash]

I never heard of a "work sharp", I need to look into those. Although I HATE the idea of using power tools to sharpen a knife this looks like it could be used for other things.

[BrianLiles]

@JCSoftWash I actually bought one earlier this week and it works great. Personally though, I won't use it every time I want to "sharpen" my blades. After a good edge is put down all a knife usually needs is honing, not sharpening.

[TheLoneWolfShepherd]

Adam, what camera do you use for these videos? Thanks!

[JCSoftWash]

I was thinking about that last night and I was just going to use a file and hit it in the same area you did. Nice work.

BTW, what was that sander you used, that was pretty cool

[RobertE2E]

@JCSoftWash He is using a Work Sharp knife sharpener

[BTeamHooligan]

I stripped the finish off mine and forced patina. I'll have to try it on the spine and see if it works.
