The leather is a series of washers mounted on the tang, if it is like the kabars I have owned. So it should not unravel. Wako you should oil that handle. You should retain all the traction, but the leather will last longer. We use a product called mink oil in the USA. I don't know the Japanese analog. Mineral oil would work well, as would any vegetable oil that would not go rancid.

@flyflung I have mink oil here for leather care. Thanks.

it looked to me that while they bit in to the same depth, there was less resistance with the usn mk1. is this true?

[virtuovice]

@27dcx It's true. I didn't expect the flat bevel knife would outperform the Scandi bevel knife in wood biting. I think the USN Mk1 is good for bushcraft as well as for hunting. Thanks.

@virtuovice Is it possible that the similarity of the wood biting was due to both knives having a convex bevel, regardless of the shape of the sides of the blades?

[virtuovice]

@traderjoes Your opinion can be true. And the Mk1 handle is much thicker and easy to take my hand power. Thanks.

Thanks for the video. I didn't really like my Ontario AFSK because of the rounded handle. Never thought of sanding the handle down like you did. I'm going to try that as well as removing part of the guard like you did. It was my least favorite fixed blade, lets see it I like it any more after the modifications.

@jambiyaSlaughter unravel? its stacked, not wrapped

[jambiyaSlaughter]

That leather will likely unravel because of the sanding.

That MK1 looks like a miniature Recon Scout, made famous by nutnfancy

Nice mods, interesting that they cut wood the same. Thanks for the vid Wako.
