I picked up the TBS Grizzly w curly birch butI dont know if Im as pleased as I thought Id be w the BLO. the birch just hasnt responded as id hoped. I know you did the same w your TBS [Boar] But you went w the Turkish Walnut - it darkened as you hoped and seems richer if that makes any sense. My goal is to lengthen the life while enriching overall. but Im not feelin /seein it guys. I have my 2nd TBS coming; the Lynx. I went w the Olive wood this time. I met a TH on the AT w Olive and loved it - and need to nail down this wood care Mike - a few others mentioned wax. ? All suggestions, opinions, experiences are encouraged and will be appreciated-

well i may have got my research a bit mixed up mate, (by the way i had already decided to buy this exact knife, but with the dc4 sharpening stone holder included) but i think you may have mis explained a little, the high carbon tool steel is HARDER to sharpen as its a harder steel NOT EASIER, that being said, once sharpened properly, will hold its edge a lot longer before dulling. which is why i chose it, it will take more effort to sharpen, but will be less likely to have to do so in the field. good video though buddy, am glad i chose that setup now, good idea with the linseed oil, might have to copy you on that. ;)

Buy yourself the stainless one: o sounds weird but it has a higher carbon content then the high carbon one. i know weird right? But check it out on their website I've been talking to TBS because i was having doubts between the 2 versions. They told me that both are great steels but that the N695 stainless is easier to sharpen and is more rust resistance. The N695 has a 5mm thick blade and the K720 (O2) has a 4mm. That was the only difference they could give. Because of that i ordered a N695 one now: D

hello, I've just discovered your great video, and would like you to tell me how to get in contact with this TBS workmanship, because I live far away from Europe. Here, despite many I can only equip myself with local blades of terrible quality to be replaced (they even cannot be sharpened, due to their thinness ) every month and incapable of carving up, or even skin game. Thanks in advance.

I got mine in today. It is freakin' gorgeous My search for a wonderful knife at a reasonable price is over This thing is amazing. I got the Nordic dangler. I cant say enough about this blade. Be sure you convert your currency to UK Pounds correctly if you have to save for the purchase. I got a lesson in how weak the US Dollar really is. I recommend to everyone

Yes stainless is crap needs machine sharpening, and i hate linseed oil. Bet you couldnt resist doing the sheeth and your boots too. silicone oil is the best water repellant out there. and its clear too, doesnt smell like a desert dwellers sock

Great review I dropped into the bushcraft store the other. Great bunch of lads. Felt like a kid in a sweet shop. Would be good see a review after a year of using the knife. Keep the videos coming.

Just found this review all seems pretty good. One question why would you use gun oil on a knife that is potentially going to be used on food? any edible food grade oil will give the same protection.

Good ergonomic handle, good size blade, but the high carb is a nightmare to sharpen, it rusts very quickly, once you start the the sharpening process the blade quickly loses the initial shine.

Hey, great video. I used to have a rws excalibre pcp air rifle with a Turkish walnut stock and this knife would have went beautifully with that. seems like a great setup for the money.
