My midfoot and lisfranc injury. I’ve had a very severe foot injury with multiple fractures and crushed bones in my mid foot. I’m hoping that I can document my recovery and that it might be of some benefit for others going through a similar situation.

2007 F-350 Powerstroke towing 30,000lbs Banks Power I towed the same trailer and excavator up the same hill as I did with the 2022 Ram 3500 HO in a previous video. In the Ram I started up the hill at highway speed and had a hard time doing 90kph by the time I reached the top of the hill. In the Ford, I started from a standstill and gently accelerated, not trying to carry as much speed up the hi...

Telescoping cylinder would have had no issue dumping that scissor dumps are weak
That's not a hotsaw. Just a ported work saw.
Love the blade, cant stand the handle. All that being said , i want one lol
@@mattmorrison9379 I have mixed feelings on the handle. It really depends on what I’m doing with it. It’s a good knife and functional design though.
Any knife with a large hand guard will not be great for food prep.

Are you on crutches?
How do you get around on your broken foot?
@@wadehamlin I’ll be on crutches for a while yet. I’m hoping to be able to start physio and protected weight bearing on it this week if my surgeon says the x-rays look good. It’s pretty rough having it down for much more than 30 minutes right now though.
@@gravytrainoutdoors Does it get hard when you are crutching around for a long time?
@@wadehamlin not too bad. Had 6 months of experience on them after a major knee injury. I have one of those knee scooters but I can use it because my knee has a partially torn acl and I can’t kneel on it. I didn’t really it was that bad until tried. Hopefully I’ll be off the crutches completely in several weeks. I don’t really have good idea what to expect. The surgeon is very careful not to give me any false impressions about how I’ll progress. Yeah the swelling is a huge problem right now. I’m going to have a compression sock prescribed after I see the surgeon this week.
@@wadehamlin I am only able to be up on it for 15 minutes or so at a time. The blood pump gets really bad if I go any longer than that
@@gravytrainoutdoors Can you show how you crutch around?
Heal up quick.
Dang
here's to a speedy recovery.
Thank you!
I broke my 5th metatarsal in a motorcycle accident. Three months in a hard cast.
@@kelvinwilliams6999 I did mine on my bike as well. I had my surgery on the 3rd. How did you make out? Are you back to normal now?
@gravytrainoutdoors Mine happened 20 years ago. Back to normal, but I feel it in cold weather.
@@kelvinwilliams6999 yeah I bet the cold weather will be hard. I have 4 plates and about 30 screws in my foot now. I bet that will make the cold a lot worse to deal with now. Glad it’s back to normal otherwise.
Totally worthless video: really gave no valid info about anything except that he prefers a two-stroke engine!
I own this knife and the Trailmaster in Cpm 3 V as well as the Japanese made Trailmaster in San Mai VG 1 steel plus the Trailmaster from Taiwan in San Mai and imo these are the finest Bowies for the money available, Fallkniven Modern Bowie is very expensive compared to the Cold Steel Trailmaster and i had the Tor Fallkniven and tho it was a fine knife it was far too expensive for me ,thank you for this great review! I just subscribed abd look forward to more🇺🇸👍
@@michaelcohen9740 I would agree! I have the modern Bowie as well. The San Mai vg-1 cold steel blades are made at the same factory in Japan as the Fallkniven modern Bowie and NL series knives. I don’t think the added price of the modern Bowie is worth it either. I do like the handle better and the lam cos steel is very good though.
@@michaelcohen9740 thank you for your comment and subscription. Life has been pretty hectic and im getting over a major foot surgery right now but plan to do a bunch of hard use videos as soon as I can.
hydraulics are amazing aren't they?
@@machaf haha they sure are!
I realize this video is 5 years old. But for anyone watching, the up and down wiggle is in part due to running the knife in an ultrasonic cleaner with the blade in the fully opened position. It creates wear due to the friction between the blade and the lock bar. Anyone with actual training for the proper use of an ultrasonic cleaner knows you do not run a hinged instrument in its fully opened or fully closed position for that very reason. And especially not locked open. But hey...it's your Buck knife. You do with it as you want.
I would avoid Kukri's simply because I don't like maintaining recurve blades. I use my JX5 basically as a hatchet alternative and processing wood when camping. The Retribution looks like a great knife to have at your disposal for a wide variety of tasks.
@@az-chris1136 I don’t have a lot experience with kukri’s. I know they take a bit of practice to use effectively. I’m personally not a fan of them. The JX5 is a stellar knife. The Retribution is definitely my favorite though. Lon makes a mean knife!
I bought a fjalkniven for field archery. First time trying to get an arrow out of a tree, the tip broke. Supposed to be one of their finest survival knives. And it wasn’t cheap.
@@johnglover3251 that sucks. Unfortunately, any knife can have the tip snap off doing that. Sometimes they do break way too easy and another of the same knife will not break doing the same. I would think that the tip of these knives would be vulnerable to breakage because the laminated steel doesn’t extend right to the tip
Why Didn't you show the action of the knife prior to forcing it apart? For all we know it's worse now than before. A simple opening and closing of the knife would have solved that.
@@StashaLintzell I did in a previous video. It wasn’t a huge improvement but was still worth the effort imo
Nice job on the review. I believe that your video has been watched more than once in the Buck Knives conference room... I just received the 2024 limited Akonua, and it has smoothed over edges on the bolster, rivets in the sheath like the old days, and red liners under the black burlap micarta handle.
@@stephenbell1914 thank you! I’ve been drooling over that Akonua! Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be in the position to buy any new knives for quite some time. I hope I’ll be able to get one before they stop offering them though.
Put a bar on that saw and let her EAT! This video is a tease when you don’t show what it sounds like eating trees at wide open throttle
Great collection of blades! Im thinking of grabbing a Recon Scout. Lowest price Ive seen lately is $199, which is not terrible.
@@BrewCityRider thank you! No that’s not a bad price at all. They are a great knife. I think you’ll like it.
Nice review. I love my Barkies, no matter what, to me they are beautiful
Thank you! I love my Barkies as well!
Μagnacut super steel my ass😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had a 112 once that opened smoothly and the blade about halfway on closing would throw into the handle with strong snap. It was striking that steel spacer and rolling the edge. What causes this is if your blade isn't riveted tight enough. But then again, a tightly riveted blade means stiff opening and also draws complaints.
That was painful watching him start that. Ended the vid before it ran
Soooo you really think that curb weight of a tandem dually trailer is only 2 tons??? Have fun with dot, or your insurance company when your in an accident, assuming you actually have commercial auto and a CDL. 🤦🤦🤦. Just cause you think you can doesn't mean you should, way too many fly by nights on the road
The trailer is just under 10,000lbs and yes I have a cdl and proper insurance. I can assure you the load was legal. I would have never been allowed to leave the gravel pit. Yes there are too many fly by nights on the road. It’s a huge issue.
i have the mini gunny and its a perfect knife for that category! no brand is perfect but I like how brk actually makes a strong effort to put out the best steels and designs for the categories they participate in.
I know this is an old video, but how did you scrape it off with out marring up the cerakote? Also do you still like and use this knife?
I scraped it off with another knife. They used a DLC coating on these which is way harder than cerakote so you don’t have to worry about scratching the coating off like you would with cerakote. It’s a great knife. Buck does an excellent job with the heat treat on their S30V. I use it every once in a while. Not as much in the last several months though. I carry and test out new knives for several months at a time so I will typically use this knife while hunting as a backup knife I keep in my bag.
@@gravytrainoutdoors Thank you for the quick reply its greatly appreciated. looks like im gonna pick one up lol
Thanks for this tip! Just got my first 110 recently and like carrying tip up if i use the case. More often than not though, it rides in the pocket.
Is the LT knife in this video a 1.25? It's beautiful. Also what do you know about the "hunter" designation? Is that different than a standard bravo1? Does that mean that they have the more drop point? What does hunter mean?
Yeah the LT is a 1.25. The hunter versions have a more significant drop point and no thumb ramp or jumping. I have a bravo 1 field version which has a drop point and no thumb ramp but it does have jumping. You can turn any bravo knife into a Hunter version by taking that ramp off and dropping the point
@@gravytrainoutdoors thank you so much for responding. I've always wondered the terminology, because on some sites I would see a ramp less bravo 1 with a drop point, for example, but sometimes I would just see the word "hunter" but they wouldn't use those other key words. Thanks for clearing this up. My goal is to get a bravo 1 Lt hunter with a PSK as it's companion knife. I don't plan on collecting so I just wanted to keep my purchase to two knives. I hunt and do even more bushcraft backpacking trips. I like the LT because it's a little thinner for say camp task and cooking/food prep and such. But do you think it's thick enough to baton and make an okay survival knife? Thick enough to bet your life on In survival situations? Or should I go with the stock thickness bravo 1 and just use the PSK for all the smaller stuff? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Oh and thanks again I love your channel! You and virtuovice are my top watched content!
@@darken8649 I appreciate your feedback! I would lean towards the LT version. You can safely baton with a thin knife if you use proper technique. Food prep is much easier with the LT version and it still splits wood well. If the extra length of the 1.25 vs the 1 is not a big deal for you then I would strongly recommend looking at the 1.25. It’s just right for me and it seems like most people are finding the 1.25 to be the sweet spot for blade length.
@@gravytrainoutdoors Thank you! I have indeed been thinking about the 1.25! I am used to a knife the size of a Fallkniven F1, so that's why I was thinking about the bravo 1 but since it will have a piggyback or companion knife with it (the PSK) I think going a tad bigger would cover more bases. I really love the survival aspect of the full thickness because after all when it comes down to it in a survival situation I want a knife you can definitely depend your life on, so I always figured I'd need a much thicker blade than the LT for survival applications. But virtuovice seems to think the LT bravos make a better survival knife than even the standard stock thick bravo 1. Do you share this opinion? Also have you ever had to sharpen any of your bravos in the field? I carry a Fallkniven dc 4 do you think that would work on the BRK knives?
@@darken8649 my overall preference is towards the LT version. I’ve only ever used a strop in the field but I have used my dc4 on convex blades and it works well.
Go for the Pathfinder 105 : I got both Brahma and 105 and Brahma is useless. I TOLD YA !
The pathfinder is definitely on my short list. The only reason I chose the Brahma over the pathfinder was that it seemed to be harder to get
@@gravytrainoutdoors yes : it was back order for some time. Now that I have both of them, my Brahma is for sale. I'LL keep the 105.
The Trail Master is SanMaii is Vg1., more forgiving.
How they prevence that the guard gonna rattle? How is that guard secured?
I haven’t heard of anyone having issues with the guards rattling loose yet. I think it’s press fit and glued in place.
@@gravytrainoutdoors Thanks.
Ok so fast forward 7 months from this post, I bought this knife recently and I gotta tell ya I'm impressed with the handle, I didn't think it would be so comfortable in hand, it came Super Sharp. Beast of a blade, the handle guard is fine, although I wish the back of it was non existent, but really not a big deal. Love the swedge on it too.
It’s definitely a heck of a knife! No real complaints for me either.
If you’re worried about rust, do not store in the sheath and also apply a thin layer of ren wax to the blade. You’ll never have a spot of rust.
I love renaissance wax. It’s a good cleaner as well.
Is "crack point propagation" equivalent to a stress riser? ... The Common Raven, Corvus corax, has the largest brain volume to body mass ratio of any bird species. You might enjoy reading 'Ravens In Winter' and 'The Mind of the Raven' by the biologist Bernd Heinrich.
Stress risers are the sharp corners that aren’t rounded to diffuse the stress. I can’t remember in which context I was talking about crack point propagation but it refers to fracture mechanics after a crack starts. The stress riser is the point in which the tensile stress bottles up and a fracture of the steel is most likely to occur at.
Thanks for the clarification . ... I added an edit about ravens to the above comment. ... Love your videos Gravy, MM
Hey Gravy, Marty here. We've conversed before. ... A bit off topic, but here goes. I know you're a big fan of the Spyderco Stretch series, as am I. The Stretch 2XL Cruwear and gray G10 is simply a fabulous knife IMO. ... i watched a vid with Eric Glesser at a show, discussing new versions of the Military 2 compression lock. Eric said thst Sal insisted upon making one with canvas micarta scales. Eric said micarta is not stiff enough to design them the same way they do with G10, using nested partial SS liners. Consequently, they recently released a version in Cruwear, brown canvas micarta with full, skeletonized SS liners that are not nested. ... I purchased one as the Military model has always been a favorite of mine. It's still breaking in, but I'm really liking it. It's a bit heftier than other Militarys, due to the full liners. Probably a bit thicker too. It's a rock solid gem. The blade is very similar to the Stretch 2XL, but with slightly less belly and a bit pointier, as the Stretch 2XL was designed as a hunter and the Military 2 as more tactical. ... Spyderco also has a Para 3 out with the same steel, canvas micarta and full liners. ... I'd love to get your opinion of this canvas micarta version of the Military 2, knowing your preference for a solid backed knife like the Stretch 2XL. ... Stay frosty my friend. Very, very sorry about the thought police coming to our great friends to the North. Good luck, MM
I have the pm2 in Cruwear that has the natural canvas micarta scales. I quite like them. At first they are a bit rough but soon smooth out and start to take a nice patina. It adds a layer of character you don’t get with the g10 scales. I’ve been carrying this 15v daily since I bought it. Normally I’ll carry a knife until it’s ready to sharpen and then I’ll switch it up but this 15v is insane. It’s finally starting to dull a bit and I’ve done so much cutting with it that it boggles my mind. I’ll be swapping back to the Cruwear version for the next bit I think. I’d really like to get my hands on a stretch 2 XL soon. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
We did the Roof on Bob Loveless House and shop in Riverside CA. back in the 90s. I knew he was a knife maker , Didn't Know he was Famous, Kind of a Grumpy guy, One Day I was there by Myself, We Talked, he Showed me All around his Shop, Custom Knives, going to Japan, He was Friendly and Open with his Artworks, His Classic Simple, Form, Function Designs Continue to be my Favorite 🎉 Maximum Respect for Mike Stewart for Building them. Bob Loveless tipped me 400 Dollars, says Split this any way you Choose 😊
Wow, that is an awesome start to have. I would have loved to had to opportunity to meet him like that. I’ve done work for a few famous people with my company but they weren’t anyone I would have been excited about meeting haha
Nice Blades ⚔️
You mean 15.4 oz. That's at least what the box says 15.4 ounces without sheath 😊
Made in Taiwan,by Masters 😊
You scale says 15.2 and the Box they come in says 15.4 so ot probably about 15.3 Cold Steel make little mistakes once in a while. 😊
86 mph and vehicles were passing you like you were sitting still. 😮😮
That was 86kph or 53mph haha. 86mph is as fast as this truck will go though 😆
Nice !!!
In the past, Cold Steel was infamous for their terrible sheaths that would dull blades. Consequently, I've had to go with after-market Kydex. Any opinion on this sheath?
Still the same old sheath they are famous for. The knife also fits perfectly in a Bark River sheath that comes with the Teddy 2 if you like a leather sheath.
i see they have done a bad job on the HT on these ones. Reallly bad
I have no complaints with this one. I won’t truly know until I sharpen it but so far it’s holding an edge as well as any other 3v blade I have. I’ve used it a fair bit doing woodwork and fooling around chopping with it and it’s performed as expected.
Those are Soldiers Knives , Bowie style blade with false edge top. 😢
I use Brasso to clean the brass on my knife. It takes a lot less time and it does a great job on making it shine and can even remove slight scratches. My pivot pins have never came lose
I’ve used brasso lots, works great as well. The ultrasonic cleaner works really well for getting all the grit and grime out from deep inside the handle and pivot. Have you ever used neverdull polishing wool? It works really well also.
😢🥷😢
I'd love to see this made in 3V.
That would be awesome to see! Don’t shy away from away from A2 though. I prefer it to 3v in some ways. It’s very easy to maintain the edge and is plenty tough enough
Waaaay heavier than 9 ounces
Haha yup!
