Fuck you, OP.

I use a katana innawoods.

The steel has been folded over a thousand times.

Beat that!

Steeling a knife is dumb unless you're a butcher.

We usually sharpen the knife BEFORE we go out.

>>925856
better to hone a blade every time you use it than have to take it to the stones when it gets blunt, faggot. whether it's with a steel or a strop or don't matter mutch, so why the hate, son?

Caught being wrong.

>>925861
Dumb steelers gonna dumb.

Steeling weakens the edge. The more you steel, the faster it will degrade.
Steeled edges require continuous steeling.

Stoning and stropping renew the edge trough abrasive action.
They take much longer to do dull.

>>925871
>can't handle the truth

Does stropping even work on proper knives, I thought you had to have a really thin blade like a straight razor for it.

>>925940
no, it just has to be reasonably sharp to begin with, can't strop a blunt knife for obvious reasons.

>>925867
I'm a 240/800/2000 stone + strop kinda guy but there's lots of ways to skin a cat. I got a buddy who's a professional chef - he steels his knives and only sharpens then on stones once a year.

>>925940

Yeah

It's often all you'll need if you aren't actually doing bushcraft stuff

Then a stone is more than enough

>>925785

And use it until it is unusable rather than maintain the edge throughout your trip?

>>925798
Bushcraft is a fucking meme, all it is, is a bunch of fat fuck teenagers and mid life crisis paedophiles going 1 mile or less into the woods and scarring the landscape.

>>925867

Depending on what angle you are steeling at.

Because that's a knife intended for killing.

This is a knife intended for work.

>>926027

So how do you put an edge on that in the bush? And what kind of "work" are you doing with it you cant do with the OP's pictures of similar shaped sharp steel objects.

>>926027

George Washington Sears just called me, he said your knife was gay.

>Bushcraft is a fucking meme, all it is, is a bunch of fat fuck teenagers and mid life crisis paedophiles going 1 mile or less into the woods and scarring the landscape.

THIS

>>926027
What WORK? OP's knife can perfectly do everything a knife is intended to do, which is not processing wood. For heavy work you use an axe
The only thing you might need a thick knife like that for is war, which 99.9% of bushcrafters will never experience.

>>926028
Here's a tip dude.Took me a little while to figure it out, but it's so obvious. If you pre-sharpen your knife before you go out into the bush, then you don't need to put an edge on it while you're out there. Saves heaps of time for more important stuff.

>>926158

>You aren't allowed to do something because you enjoy it. It has to be only practical. Everything I do is for the sole purpose of practicality.

>>926024
If you spend money on decent steel then it shouldn't get dull in one trip, especially if you aren't doing any wood processing as you claim.

>>926176
yeah but there's a point when it becomes retarded

>>925438
some states don't like double edged knives.

>>926028
I doubt you can use OP knife to chop wood or cut down small trees with.

That particular Schrade is 1/4" thick. It can handle pretty much anything you throw at it.

>>926323

Why the fuck would I do that with a knife?

>>925438
Why not just use a gun?

Anon, Why is the knife appearing if you already have a hatchet and a saw?

If I knew I was actually going to light a "camp fire" I would probally just take my pruning belt. Split wood doesnt make good coals to cook on, if thats the idea behind stinking out the whole area and impregnating yourself with said smell and scaring off game.

It's implying that campfires are a stupid bushcrafting meme like batoning, and not a basic part of the camping experience. That shows that OP doesn't camp, and therefore has no business having an opinion on camp knives.

>>927059

>wut is a liquid or cartridge stove

>>927069
>wut is simple warmth and light from something humans and their ancestors have been using for hundreds of thousands of years

>>927083
you just described batoning

>>927125
Not that guy who was against batoning. If something works it works.

Honing takes away the little "teeth" on the cutting edge that bent to the left and right, making the blade dull. The teeth that stayed in the middle will follow. By honing you take away material directly from the edge, changing it to a duller angle.

When sharpening you take away material from the whole secondary bevel, keeping the angle.

I hone my blades until they don't properly cut through the wood grain anymore, then I sharpen them. That saves material. This Anon is right, you'll have to hone the blade more frequently with time= >>925867

I don't sharpen thin blades like kitchen knives or my ganzo para military copy at all, honing is enough for such blades this thin.

For these knives
>>925438
>>925439
>>925441
>>925442
a honing steel is very reasonable because it comes in handy when you cut along the ribs of some game and dull the blade.

>>927425

So basically,

for butchery and food prep steel is better

for woodwork and carving strop is better

?

>>927848
It depends on how thin the knife is.
As I wrote in the former post, I steel my innawoods knives too and sharpen them when the edge geometry is fucked.
For a paring knife that has ~2mm. blade thickness and is even thinner at the primary bevel, a steel is enough because the angle of it is steep itself.

Are these flea market/qvc knives worth taking innawoods? Or will they fall apart upon hitting wood?

>>927962

That proves my point, he bent the sapling down so he could cut deeper and deeper.

>>930070
no, probably
it's a wallhanger made of chinesium. $50 at the minimum is what i'd pay for a knife that size provided it's made of an identifiable high carbon steel and has a somewhat robust tang, and i'd only get it from a reputable company like condor or schrade because they're pretty much the only ones who make semi-good big knives for under $100

>>930077
You'd have to do that with any knife. There's no chip removal, like with an axe, or sawdust removal like with a saw.

I'd like to see ANY knife push cut through a small tree without any bending of the tree.

Trees aside, why don't you show me video of someone failing to make a cut because the knife is scandi.

This is /out/ and the fact is there is no /out/ task that a scandi grind can't do.

Go prepare a cheese and tomato sandwich with a scandi.

Go dress the back legs of an animal with a scandi.

>>930382

Actually, my wife used a Mora companion to do all our food prep for the approximately 6 weeks of camping and living at the cabin we did last summer. I just asked her and she never had any trouble cutting cheese, or any other food, with that scandi ground knife.

I've never hunted big game, but I suspect that if a scandi grind worked for the northern germanic hunters (my grandfather carried a puko hunting) then it's probably not as functionally crippled as you're making it out to be.

Now, I'm going to presume that you understand what the burden of proof is and that it is now up to YOU to provide evidence to prove your claim.

>>930382
most people never sharpen a knife in their life and they make plenty of sandwiches

>>931128
I don't want to be a dick but this vid actually proves his point. Scandis are not made for cooking. You can of cause use them, but as you can see in the video the mora tends to cut left and right, leaving uneven pieces.
I have cut many onions and potatoes at the campfire with my mora companion and they didn't turn as I wanted them, with the onions being more split then cut.
I carry a Mercator in a addition to make the job easy. The kitchen knife sticks to the cheese because it's cheek has a way larger surface.
The dedicated cheese knives with cutouts and saw teeth are optimal for this job. Ye goode ole Norwegian cheese planer is top tier.

>>931128

Uhm it backs up what I am saying fucko.

>>931164

His point was that you couldn't use a scandi to cut cheese, which is ludicrous.

The only piece that wasn't even in thickness was the piece that broke off when I tried to slice/pull cut. All of the push cuts made nice even slices.

You'll also notice it was visibly harder to slice off a piece with an 8 inch chefs knife.

I only set out to prove one thing and one thing only: you can cut cheese effectively with a scandi knife. And that's proven. It didn't need to be proven because only an idiot would need that demonstrated, but I did it anyways.

>>931190
You must be the above mentioned idiot.

>>931164
I literally made a video demonstrating the thing that he said wasn't possible. How in the friday night fuck does that prove his point and not mine?

>>931197
>scandinavian knives that cant cut deeper than their bevel.

Yeah I see now. If I noticed earlier that you referred to OP's post, I wouldn't even have responded because he's obviously a trolling faggot.

>>931200
Because you don't put 1 inch thick cheese slices on your sandwich.
Oh wait, judging from that "cheese" I bet your murrican so I might be wrong.

>>931202

He might legitimately be stupid. Might not be any trolling there whatsoever.

When it comes to knives especially, people obsess about the finite details like grind type and micro-bevels and a bunch of other shit that actually makes little fucking difference to your ability to make a bloody sandwich. It becomes a perpetual circle-jerk of people with little to no experience that think they're qualified experts listening to other qualified idiots do knife reviews and talk about shit they have little actual experience with.

That's where you find a guy saying dumb shit like that. Unfortunately, that kind of qualified idiocy is pretty popular on /out/.
