(1/31/11) The review for the SOG Vulcan was left for us by Blake F. from New Jersey. Thanks Blake for the review and take it easy on your knives man.

Outdoorsman Review:

I’ve owned and used this Sog Vulcan for about a year now. When I purchased mine, it was selling in local stores for $159.95, despite the MSRP of $181.00. Now this knife can be purchased for as little as 98.95, and in my mind, there is not a knife in that price range and far above that that compares to it. It has a thick blade, and a perfectly formed handle. The lockback design is by far the most superior I’ve ever used and despite some very heavy abuse, I have not had it fail on me yet.

I’ve used this knife for everything from opening boxes, to splitting 2×4 lumber to prying open stuck doors. Yes, I have abused this knife far beyond it’s original intentions, but when I buy a knife, I buy a tool, and I use it as such. The edge that comes on the blade from the factory is razor sharp and holds up quite well. However, the edge does take some occasional sharpening. It has a pretty sharp angle compared to that of a pocket knife, but sharpens easily. I found that sharpening was effortless.

The only downside that I’ve found to the knife is the Belt Clip. It looks sturdy, but does bend out easily and is very easy to break when bending it back. SOG seems to know about this, because they offer free belt clip replacement. You just have to call them and they’ll ship you a replacement immediately. In closing, I’ll say that I’ve never owned such a rugged knife and would buy one immediately if I lost it.

Manufacturer’s Specs for the Vulcan:

  • Blade length: 3.5 inches x .16 inch
  • Overall length: 8.375 inches
  • Weight: 5 ounces
  • Edge: Straight
  • Steel: VG-10
  • Rockwell hardness: 59 – 60
  • Handle: GRN (Glass Reinforced Nylon)
  • Finish: Satin

Spyderco Sharpmaker 204MF Knife Sharpener

(1/30/11) The review for the Spyderco Sharmaker was left by Patrick from Kansas. You mean you shouldn’t use those $4.99 made in Taiwan sharpeners you can buy at Harbor Freight?

Outdoorsman Review:

Every hunter has a knife that needs resharpening. Whether it just needs a touch-up, or it’s so dull that it needs a complete makeover like Obama’s approval rating, every knife needs to go through a sharpening process in order to perform to the best of its design.

There are several different sharpener designs on the market, from crock sticks in a V-shape, clamp-type sharpeners, plain whetstones, and more. The Spyderco Sharpmaker 204 falls into the V-shape sharpener category, with a twist. For those who are horrible at freehand sharpening, the Sharpmaker is a handy tool to have on hand for sharpening knives. All it takes it he ability to keep a knife vertical while drawing the knife down the triangle-shaped sharpening sticks.

The Sharpmaker 204 consists of an ABS plastic base and lid that contains two brass safety rods and four alumina ceramic stones. The base has two groove on the underside that will enable two of the stones to lay side by side to act as a bench stone. There is an opening on one end for a stone that sits at a 12.5degree angle for sharpening scissors. For sharpening knives, the base is divided into two sides, with one side having holes for the stones at a 30 degree inclusive angle (15degrees for each stone), and the other side having a 40 degree inclusive angle. The lid can be put on the base to cover one half, extending the base for a more secure hold. If desired, the base can be screwed down onto a table, bench, or other solid object.

The stones are triangle shaped, allowing the Sharpmaker to sharpen both plain edge and serrated knives. The set includes two brown medium grit stones and two white fine grit stones to put a hair-popping edge on your knives. Each stone also has a groove running down the middle of one side that allows the sharpening of fish hooks, awls, and other
pointy objects.

The medium grit stones are the workhorse stones if your knife is dull. They will remove material at a decent rate to get your knife not only functionally sharp, but very sharp. Most people would stop there, however, the white fine grit stones will enable you to put an edge on your knife sharp enough to make the hair pop off of your arm. The key is to hold the knife vertically each and every time, which is easier than freehand sharpening where you have to try to hold a blade at 15degrees or so from the horizontal. It’s easier to see when you are doing it right with the Sharpmaker.

Some production knives have uneven bevels. One might be set at 20 degrees while the other side is at 13 degrees. This requires the blade to be reprofiled to achieve the best cutting ability. This requires stock removal of metal that the medium stones just can’t handle when it comes to some of todays super steels like s30v, D2, and others. For this purpose, Spyderco made the triangle shaped diamond coated rods. These steel rods have a nickel finish with diamond dust impregnated in the nickel. This coarse rod will facilitate stock removal of steel for re-beveling a blade’s edge. On softer steels, the diamond stones will make that job even easier and faster.

I have used the Sharpmaker 204 set to sharpen and reprofile many of my wife’s kitchen knives, as well as a couple of my Benchmade knives. I prefer a shallower angle than most companies put on their edges, and the Sharpmaker has done a good job of putting the edge I want on my knives. On harder steels, such as my s30v Gerber Freeman, it is far more time consuming to reprofile an edge than on softer steels or carbon steel. However, maintaining an edge on any steel is a breeze with this system. If you don’t let your knives get too dull before resharpening, the Sharpmaker 204 set will meet all of your sharpening
needs.

Benchmade 806 Advanced Folding Combat Knife

Benchmade 806 AFCK Knife

Benchmade 806 AFCK Knife

Review Status:

The Benchmade 806 AFC Knife was reviewed by a master Outdoorsman


(1/30/11) And another review by Patrick. Patrick sure has a way with words and gives some great reviews for everything from bows to knives. Thanks again.

Outdoorsman Review:

For knife enthusiasts, there is one folding knife design that has remained popular for about 15 years. The Benchmade AFCK folding knife was the flagship knife for the Benchmade Knife Company for many years, and even now remains one of their most popular models.

Originally designed by former Navy SEAL Chris Caracci, the Advanced Folding Combat Knife quickly became a hit among law enforcement, but also among hunters and campers who recognized the design’s superior qualities for general utility work around a campsite. At one point Benchmade relabeled it for a short time the Advanced Folding Camp Knife in recognition of it’s general usefulness outside of self defense. Over the years, the knife was redesigned slightly to accommodate Benchmade’s Axis locking mechanism, as the original model 800 AFCK was a liner lock. This review will focus on the later model, the 806 AFCK. My personal AFCK is a limited edition with a different blade steel than the production knives, and utilizes a round hole instead of an oval hole for opening.

The knife has a 3.9″ long blade made of D2 air-hardened tool steel. The steel is a tough steel that has gained popularity among knife enthusiasts for it’s toughness and edge retention. Once D2 is razor sharp, it stays that way for a very long time, even longer than s30v (my s30v hunting knife processed 2 deer from field to freezer before needing to be resharpened. D2 can last longer than that). The one drawback to D2 is that it is not a stainless steel and will rust if not taken care of properly. To this end, Benchmade only provides the 806 AFCK with a coated blade to prevent rust. Even on Benchmade’s non-coated D2 knives, rust is not really an issue as long as the user is willing to take a little care by cleaning and drying the knife properly.

The design of the blade is a shallow clip point style with a decent belly for slicing. The 1/8″ thick spine provides strength out to the tip even though it thins toward the tip. The oval thumb hole opener is ideally positioned for quick one-handed opening.

The Axis lock — for those not familiar with Benchmade knives — is a bar lock on the back of the blade that is held in place by two springs to give redundancy and extra strength. Unlike lock back knives that can close on your hand under heavy pressure, the Axis lock does not give way unless it is deliberately moved away from the blade’s tang. This lock is one of the strongest in the knife industry, and is a fully ambidextrous lock, which is important to left-handers like me. Most knives with a liner lock design (the vast majority of one-handed
knives out there) only provide a right-handed model, which can be cumbersome for us southpaws. The Axis lock makes more models of knives available for us to use.

The handle is designed to fit the hand in a very ergonomic manner, asthe back swell of the handle lays perfectly in the palm of your hand and your index finger sits in the cutout for the opening hole. The shape of the handle is so well designed that the knife feels as if it
has become an extension of your hand. The 420J liners provide strength to the design, and they are covered in black G10, which is a fiberglass-resin composite material that is almost indestructible. The texture provides an excellent grip, even when wet. The pocket clip is
reversible, both for carrying with the tip of the blade up or down, and left or right, making the 806 AFCK a truly ambidextrous knife.

What I like:
Basically everything with the design! The cutting geometry is superb, the handle design is great, and the Axis lock is the best there is for a folding knife (in my not-so-humble opinion).

What I don’t like:
The black coating is not the toughest coating out there and can scratch. It’s mostly a cosmetic issue: if you want your knife to look pristine even when used, the BK coating won’t cut it (pun intended). If you don’t mind the scratches and think it adds character to the knife, then you won’t have any problem at all. Their newest knives will have black CeraKote for their coated blades, which is an incredibly tough finish. It is the only thing I would change on my knife.

This is my favorite folding knife, and it took me almost 10 years from its introduction for me to get one. The knife is discontinued, however there are plenty for sale on eBay and online forums where knife enthusiasts gather. If you are looking for a great all-around
utility/camp/hunting folder, this is it.

Manufacturer’s Specs for the 806 AFCK:

  • Blade Length: 3.96 inches
  • Blade Thickness: 0.125 inches
  • Blade Material: D2
  • Blade Hardness: 59-61
  • Blade Style: Clip-Point
  • Weight: 4.38 ounces
  • Pocket Clip: Black, Reversible, Tip-Up OR Tip-Down (4 possible positions)
  • Lock Mechanism: AXIS
  • Overall Length: 9.38 inches

Folts Minimalist Neck Knife Review

Folts Minimalist Neck Knife

Folts Minimalist Neck Knife

Review Status:

The Folts Minimalist knife was reviewed by a master Outdoorsman


(1/30/11) And another spectacular review by Patrick R. from Kansas for the Folts Minimalist neck knife.

Folts Minimalist Neck Knife



Outdoorsman Review:

Neck knives are not something that most people consider to be outdoor knives; however, their smaller size can make them very handy around the camp site, where a large fixed blade knife may be too cumbersome. I was given my first neck knife, a Minimalist made by custom knife maker Alan Folts, and have been quite pleased with it. Since adding this neck knife to my stable of knives, it has seen considerable use around the house, and it goes on every Boy Scout and Cub Scout camping trip I take with my sons.

The blade is 2″ long, and looks like a cross between a drop point and a small chef knife in blade shape. The blade is highly polished with a bead blasted finish along a small portion of the spine and finger choil.

The handle is a little longer than the blade, with deep finger cutouts for the first three fingers. A small fobbed lanyard gives the pinky finger something to wrap around. The handle scales are made of black micarta, which ensures it will stand up to rugged use. G10 is also available as a handle material, and it is nearly indestructible.

The knife snaps into the Kydex neck sheath with authority, and the sheath holds the knife very firmly. Grasping the knife by the handle and giving a slight push with the thumb on the sheath will easily release the knife for use. The lanyard comes with a compression spring lock to adjust the length.

Using the knife is a dream! It isn’t a 4″ hunting knife, though, so don’t try to use it as one. Whittling wood for kindling and making fuzz sticks is a breeze, as the natural orientation of the knife to the wood puts your thumb along the spine in direct line with the force of your push cut, making it more effective. The knife can even be used with the index finger along the spine and the handle in the hollow of your palm for very controlled cuts with very, very little chance of the knife slipping from your grip. Opening bags of deer feed, cutting rope for a lean-to, paracord for a clothes line, skinning a rabbit, etc. don’t require a huge hunting knife, and the Minimalist comes in very handy for such tasks. In a pinch, you could even use it to help with skinning a deer. I tried it out this year on a deer, and while the blade is really too short to be the primary skinning knife, it acquitted itself quite nicely.

Currently, Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT), has licensed Alan’s Minimalist with several different blade configurations. CRKT’s steel is not up to my picky standards, but it will take a sharp edge easily and resharpens easily as well. For the average camper/hunter who doesn’t want to spend long periods of time sharpening a knife, this steel will work very well. For those with more stringent steel standards like me (OK, I’m a steel snob), you can easily order one from Alan in a wide variety of steels that will suit your purpose, from ATS-34, to CPM-154CM, to CPM-3V or s30v, and others.

What I like:
Just read above! I never thought about neck knives until I was given one, and now I won’t go camping without one.

What I don’t like:
The mirror finish on this knife can scratch. I’ve never been a fan of mirror finishes for this reason. Fortunately, you can order one from Alan without a mirror finish if you wish, and the CRKT version does not have a mirror finish, either.

Overall:
If you are looking for something simple to carry while camping, hiking, and hunting, a neck knife is a handy tool to have. It goes on every outdoors trip I take, and I’ve even started to carry it in place of a pocket knife at times. I can’t recommend Alan Folt’s Minimalist enough!

Manufacturer’s Specs for the Minimalist knife:

  • Blade Material: CPM 154 C
  • Handles: Black Paper Micart
  • Hardware: Stainless Stee
  • Blade Length: 2 inches
  • Blade Finish: Polished & Blasted Two-Tone
  • Stock Thickness: 3/21 inch

SOG Field Pup Knife Review

SOG Field Pup Knife

SOG Field Pup Knife

Review Status:

The SOG Pup Knife was reviewed by a master Outdoorsman


You got SOG’s Field Pup Knife? If you do; let other hunters know if you like this knife or not by leaving your comments below.

(1/25/11) Once again another brilliant review by Patrick R. from Kansas. Thank you Patrick.


SOG Field Pup Knife

Outdoorsman Review:

I received a SOG Field Pup as a gift a couple years ago. At the time I did not have a hunting knife, so fit the bill perfectly. I’ve had plenty of time to get to know this knife in the intervening time.

The Field Pup consists of a 4″ AUS-8 slightly recurved blade with a full tang covered by a Kraton handle. The Kraton is a firm, yet soft feeling synthetic material that is present in abundance with this handle. It fills out the hand very well, and with the finger grooves on the underside, it sits in the hand comfortably. A lanyard hole is present in the end of the handle, so a paracord lanyard can be attached to wrap around your wrist for extra security.

The blade is 4″ of AUS-8 stainless steel with a slightly recurved belly and aggressive jimping on the thumb ramp. Your thumb will not slip off of this area, and it may even be aggressive enough to tear up a glove. AUS-8 is an entry-level steel that used to be top-notch… over a decade ago. It is easy to sharpen, but it’s edge retention depends completely on how it is heat treated. SOG is known for doing a good job with AUS-8, and it seems to be the primary steel for most of their knives. However, it’s performance is easily overshadowed by newer steels that are almost as easy to sharpen but are tougher and have better edge retention, such as ATS-34, 154CM and s30v. For basic steels, 154CM is far superior.

The particular knife I received must have been missed by quality control, as the AUS-8 simply does not perform to the level I expect of AUS-8. My son has a Benchmade mini Griptillian with a blade of 440C stainless steel, which is supposed to be comparable to AUS-8. SOG’s reputation with AUS-8 means these steels should perform about the same. The Benchmade knife outperformed this knife in almost everything, and it was a folder with a smaller blade! The Field Pup had the advantage when it came to anything requiring a fixed blade knife, obviously, but the blade suffered.

My other fixed blade knife — my Gerber Freeman s30V knife — is light years beyond the Field Pup in steel quality and toughness. However, my Field Pup is more comfortable in the hand due to the Kraton grip that gets grippier when wet instead of slicker like the Gerber’s stag handle. While my Gerber could completely process two deer before needing to be resharpened, the Field Pup only made it through two back quarters before it needed to hit the Spyderco Sharpmaker again.

I don’t abuse my knives, as they are cutting tools and not axes, saws, or machetes. Still, my Field Pup has nicks in the blade instead of areas where the edge has rolled over. This should not happen with AUS-8. I should be able to make a fuzz stick for starting a fire without worrying about the blade. I should be able to whittle slivers off a log or branch without having to resharpen every 10 cuts or so. Not so with my Field Pup.

The leather/kydex sheath is nothing special, but it is very functional. It holds the knife securely even without a snap. The kydex ”clamp” along the edge of the sheath holds the leather together with three rivets. A generous belt loop makes it a breeze to get on and off of your belt. Since I received my knife, I believe SOG has switched to a nylon sheath for this knife.

What I like:
I love the handle. It is very comfortable, fills the hand well, and is very grippy, even when wet with water or blood. The pseudo-guard on the front of the handle keeps your index finger from slipping forward onto the blade. The jimping on the thumb ramp is very aggressive, making the likelihood or your thumb slipping very remote.

What I don’t like:
The blade. The performance of the steel was sub-par, not only compared to my “snob steel” expectations, but also to what AUS-8 is supposed to be capable of. I don’t know if my knife received a poor heat treat or what, but it should have performed as well or better than 440C steel. The bevel was incredibly uneven and the knife did not arrive razor sharp like knives are supposed to.

Ideally, SOG would make the Field Pup with at least 154CM, if not D2 for the blade. This would elevate the Field Pup to a whole new level of usability, both for camp and for hunting. As it is, I wouldn’t recommend it for a knife unless you are on an incredibly small budget and are very good at sharpening knives. For just $15 more, a better knife can be found that will perform better.

Manufacturer’s Specs for SOG’s Pup Knife:

  • Blade length: 4 inches x .13 inches
  • Overall length: 8.5 inches
  • Weight: 4 ounces
  • Edge: Straight
  • Steel: AUS 8
  • Rockwell Hardness: HRC 57-58 (Typical of a tool steel)
  • Handle: Kraton
  • Finish: Satin
  • Sheath: Nylon

Gerber Freeman Fixed Blade Knife Review

Gerber Freeman Stag Handle Knife with Drop Point

Gerber Freeman Stag Handle Knife with Drop Point

Review Status:

The Gerber Freeman knife was reviewed by a master Outdoorsman


(1/22/11) The review for the Gerber Freeman fixed blade knife with s30v stainless blade, stag handle, and drop point tip was provided by Patrick R. from Kansas. Thank you Patrick for such a great review. If you have used the Gerber Freeman then tell us what you think of it by leaving a comment below.

Buy the Gerber Freeman Knife with s30v Steel Blade

Outdoorsman Review:

I will preclude my review by making a confession: I am a steel snob. There, I said it. When it comes to knives, I prefer higher-end steel as opposed to the steel you find on most budget knives. For this reason, most Gerber knives do not even warrant my attention as they frequently use 440A stainless steel in almost everything. For my ”steel snob” tastes, if it isn’t 154CM or better, I don’t consider it.

The Gerber Freeman hunting knife has been around for quite a while, and while it is a great design made by a man with a lot of experience making good knives, Gerber chose what I consider to be an inferior steel in order to keep costs down and increase volume of sales. For this reason, I never bothered to look at the Freeman hunting knife.

All that changed when I received a gift card to Bass Pro and hopped on their web site to look for a good knife. I found the Gerber Freeman drop point knife with stag handles and s30v steel. Now this caught my attention, so I ordered one.

Upon inspection, I noticed the fit is very good, with the stag handles having an even thickness on each side. The blade is satin finished and came hair shaving sharp. HOWEVER, the edge bevels were very uneven, which makes sharpening a real pain in the… well, you get the idea. This is sad to see in a knife that costs $100+, and will make reprofiling the edge a necessity if you want to keep it sharp in the future. The clip point relief cuts on the spine toward the tip are uneven as well. The jimping on the spine and in the finger choils could stand to be more aggressive also.

I sent it off to have the bevels professionally reprofiled, and now it is easy to keep hair popping sharp. The main draw to steels such as 440A, C and 154CM for hunting knives are the ease of sharpening. The drawback is that you have to sharpen them much more frequently. S30V is harder to sharpen than typical 440A, 420HC, or even 440C or 154CM, but it also keeps it’s edge for considerably longer. Two seasons ago, I was able to use the knife to process two deer (that means from field dressing to freezer) before I needed to sharpen it. Even then it only needed some touch up on my Spyderco Sharpmaker to return the edge to hair popping sharpness. Don’t use it to try to cut bone and the edge should be fine. S30V is not a steel you want to abuse, however. Don’t try to use this knife as an axe, as the edge will chip instead of just roll. This might have something to do with the way Gerber heat treats their s30v, as other companies’ heat treatment of s30v yields a tougher, better result. S30V should be on par with D2 tool steel when it comes to edge retention, and I don’t feel that Gerber’s s30v comes close.

The handle fills the hand very well, and if you wish, you can attach a lanyard to the butt end to secure it to your wrist during camping work. The drawback to the stag is that it gets a bit slick when it’s wet with either water or blood. I may make a set of micarta handles for it to replace the antler and give it more grip.

In all, the knife isn’t bad for a higher-end steel. It isn’t all s30v can be, either. If I didn’t have the Bass Pro card, I’m not sure I would have spent the $100+ for this knife, as I had read a couple other reviews about Gerber’s heat treating of s30v. My out-of-pocket price was less than for a standard Gerber Freeman, however, so it was worth it.

If you’re going to spend this kind of money for a higher end knife, s30v steel is a good one to consider as long as the heat treatment is good. Buck Knives makes use of Paul Bos to heat treat their s30v, and there are few better at it than him. Cabela’s Alaskan Guide series of Buck Knives in s30v is superior to the Gerber, and Knives of Alaska with their D2 steel is also superior to the Gerber knife. If my gift card had been to Cabela’s instead of Bass Pro, I would not have gotten this Gerber Freeman, as the Buck and KoA knives are superior.

Manufacturer’s Specs for the Gerber Freeman:

  • S30V steel blade
  • Genuine stag handles
  • Superior edge retention
  • Drop point blade length 4-inch
  • High quality leather sheath
  • .83 pounds

Buck Zipper Knife with rubber handle

Buck Zipper Knife with rubber handle

Review Status:

This Buck Zipper hunting knife was reviewed by a master Outdoorsman


Have you used the Buck® Zipper™ knife while field dressing your kill? Tell other hunters how well it performs by leaving your comment below.

This review for the Buck Zipper knife was provided by Ronald H. from Pennsylvania. Thanks Ronald for your review & good luck. I guess that Ronald can’t have too many hunting knives.

Buy Buy the Buck® Zipper™ Knife with rubber handle

Manufacturer’s Specs for the Buck® Zipper™:

The Zipper is a gut hook knife that works just like a zipper. The combination of edge angle and hook length performs beautifully. Back in 1993, there were a lot of gut hooks on the market that just didn’t do the job. So, CJ Buck, a 4th generation Buck helped to design a knife that would live up to the family name. This knife with a rubber handle and brass guard and butt is a tool you can count on.

  • Blade Length: 4 1/4 inches (10.8 cm.)
  • Blade Material: Satin Finish 420HC Stainless Steel
  • Carry System: Black, heavy duty nylon sheath with tough plastic insert
  • Fixed blade
  • Handle Material: Texturized rubber
  • Weight: 6.6 ounces (187.9 grams)

Outdoorsman Review:

What I like about the knife:

1. The 4 and 1/8th inch blade is crafted from 420 high carbon steel, which holds a great edge even after many uses. The tang extends to the end of the handle (full tang). This is a great feature that will protect you from an unsuspected break or separation from the handle.

2. Buck’s patented gut hook will come in handy for skinning wild game and surviving in the wilderness. Although strong and effective, this feature does not take away from the overall strength of the knife.

3. Your fingers are protected from slipping unto the blade thanks to the rock solid brass guard. This is especially useful if you go with the wooden-handle version, which is more slippy than it’s rubber counterpart.

4. Surviving the wilderness with a cheaply made sheath can be pretty difficult. The Buck Zipper comes with a durable nylon sheath that will hold up to years of hard use.

5. My blade came hair-shaving sharp right out of the box. The hollow ground, drop-point style blade is perfect for making precise cuts or tearing through fibrous materials with ease.

If you have a different view of the Buck Zipper or you just want to put in your 2 cents on this knife then leave your comment below.
