These are great knives. I've got a couple and really enjoy the overall blade shape, grind, and precise tip. I'd love to get the regular Outdoorsman, but, with these available, I'm not sure I want to add nearly a hundred bucks to the cost to get one. Do you have a link to that sheath?

guys i just bought this one for 3,50€ on ali express but mine has a cheap textile sheath, its a great deal either way!!

Getting one in as good quality as this for even $150 is incredibly hard. These days, the new ones are $225, but they're made in China and don't follow the old spec at all.

The best army jacket (not only army) ever. Of course, military issue not commercial or some copy variant. I got 7 of these, made by Golden mfg, Cherokee, So-Sew and John Ownbey from 1970 - 1983 4 of them are OG and 3 in a M81 woodland pattern. Too much long lasting jackets just for one life .🤣🤣🤣

If you would have asked me which of these two were the most expensive just based off looks, I would have said the condor, to me it just looks the part, I think it would feel way better in the hand and definitely like the blade profile much better! But that said you can’t go wrong if you have them both!😅

Schrade is the maker? Good knife! Greetings from Argentina

I picked one of these up at a flea market for $3 someone cut the tag out but the rest of the jacket is in a great shape

The original design had a 6 inch blade for the first several years but, they kept getting broken so they shortened the blade to the more well known 5 inches. The saw back was designed so the pilot could cut through the new Jet Plane canopy if necessary - not the metal frame or skin. Initially released during the Korean War to the brand new Jet Pilots thus it's called the JPK or Jet Pilot Knife. Some had a light green colored paint daub on the hilt that glowed and some did not. The Glow In The Dark ones went to the Navy and others to other forces.

If this one was "issued" and you wore it, why is there no name tape, insignias or other identification markings on it?

Not sure why people take hunting knifes and start using them as Bushcraft....how about showing how it skins a deer or processes meat,you know what it was made for

Except Mountain Men, used an Axe or hatchet, and yes even a saw, to process wood. The Hudson Bay knife, is in its simplest form, a Butcher Knife. Used for breaking down game, then cutting the meat into portions. Yes, you can chop and split wood with it, until you ruin the edge.

Golden mfg. should bring back the M-65 Jacket on the civil market!

M65 jacket and trousers = BEST EVER MADE

Is there a secondary bevel (even a very small one)? Bought a White River puuko and had to return because there was a secondary bevel even though they say it’s a “true” puuko. Takes some real skill to grind a blade of this nature properly.

I have my Dads M-65 field jacket that he was issued in 06. His is in the M-81 woodland camo

Rough Ryders got me into slip joints. Case are too expensive to just buy a bunch and see if you like them, but rough Ryder are made well (there’s some lemons obviously), and I was impressed by what I’ve gotten. I’ve had to return a couple over the years, but they’re warrantied for life. I’ve got a lot of them, as I decided to collect them along with the vintage stuff, and rough Ryders are great users for sure. I recommend their carbon steel knives, they are made of T10 tool steel and from what I understand, it’s basically Chinese 1095. They have about 4 or 5 series with that steel and they’re great. Also, they make some VG-10 steel slip joints for the same low prices as their other stuff, and it’s the real deal, ppl tested the Rockwell on them to see. So yeah, if you’re against buying Chinese, I’ll never convince you but if you don’t mind, I def recommend them to ppl along with SAKs as first skip joint options. Cool vid man, I dig watching your stuff.

it also holds a terrible edge😂 thats a good thing because it can hold “an edge” which is the important part. the next important part is finding a way to sharpen to a good edge, this steel is so strong my one and only 2 sided stone doesn’t do the trick😂

My local Walmart had one non-serrated version left. I bought it. I wish Gerber would listen to their customers and make a plain edge available again. Why do they insist on jamming serrated edge knives down the throats of their customers? I, like most people, HATE SERRATIONS! I've taken more than one knife to a grinder to remove serrations. Fortunately, Gerber has competitors who offer plain edged knives. Since I have more than one pack, I have been forced to purchase a competitor's knife for my other packs. Why is Gerber so arrogant? I've worked for a couple of companies that 'knew better' than their customers. They're bankrupt, now. Gerber might want to take note- look at Budweiser and Disney.

Want one like this knife , clip point is my favorite blade , beautiful

Before the Bill-Shit 😂

We ARMY guys had this knife in Vietnam in the 60s.

The button in liner is really the magic. Live in cold and wet environment? Skip the jacket, buy the liner, wear it under your rain gear. Breathes well if you are actively working outside!

is it a good idea to sharpen recurved blades with the rounded side of a rasps?

Hello, nice video. I'm thinking about getting my hands on one of these actually, so your video helped me alot. I like the design of the blade (and sheath), even if the 7Cr17mov isn't the best steel on the market. But as you said, if you sharpen it once in a while... Grüße aus dem Ahrtal! (Valley of the River "Ahr", in Germany)

Thank you for this valuable information! I was almost ready to throw away my brand new knife because it refused to get sharper.

Good to see you back on here. They seem like very good budget knives. I do leather work and would make my own sheath out of some heavy veg tan. I think if they were much more expensive I would opt for a Condor Bushlore or something similar. I understand about family time; my wife and I have six grandkids and they always come first!

Looks like very very nice blade! Cheers from boiling Hot Finland!

would rather have this then the overpriced mora fulltang line they released.

That's good Buckskin leather, same stuff Benchmade uses . Unfortunately, it's way too soft and needs to be wet formed or use some leather hardener. My Benchmade Bushcrafter sheath works great, but that leather sucks. If they made it with basic vegtan, that design would be excellent. That convex edge is pretty cool to see on such a low-cost blade. It would be easy to give it a full convex. I can not leave my edges alone, LOL . I've been gone too, brother , life stuff....also had to bery my dog . 15 year old pug , she did good, but the last month her health went way fast. Putting her to sleep was rough , it's been hard changing my daily tasks with her gone. I will get a project knife and get back into making vids here soon myself. Good to see ya back bud .

Good 2 c u back !

Gorgeous blades

I like it

You rate everything by "not bad" followed by "pretty good". So is it not bad or pretty good? Those two things have different meaning. Not bad is something that barely qualifies to be good. Pretty good is something that is genuinely good. This review is quite confusing.

Ontario Knife Company, according to my information, does a lot of military and police contracts. Their biggest issue is that the quality control needs work. Fortunately they have a good warranty department. I have the Expensive, Ontario Kephart knife (Ontario Blackbird in S35VN). The initial Edge was serviceable but not that good. I spent a while re profiling the blade and polishing it. My only complaints with the Blackbird is that though it is serviceable it is not what I want in an ideal knife (Kydex sheathe, Thin behind the edge, and sabre grind).

I still have mine from 1994

Buy one use it as both and if it isn't full tang throw it away!😑

Awesome video!

It's been a while since you posted a video. Everything OK? Take care.

Wrong! Its not 440 C Steel but 14116 German Steel. Good Steel though. Even all Victorinox Swiss Army knives have 14116 Steel. Also known as 440 or 440 A, but not 440 C.

I love that knife. I prefer the outdoorsman over the SRK, that imho is overrated.

When I hear the expression "one size fits all", I know that the speaker is a moron. No clothes item is one size fits all. No knife is one size fits all. 1. the skill set is in the user, not the tool. 2. I am aware of the misconceptions. One of favorite movies as a kid was The Steel Helmet. It had a young soldier endlessly sharpening his military issue knife. After I became a knife dealer, I came to understand why issued military knives are not sharp. Hint, the application requires a rough sharpness, not a sushi knife sharpness. 3. I acquire a later Ontario version and modified the guard and the grind. Easy to do and you end up with a better "survival knife" for usage in the woods, not an airplane. 4. A person needs to be realistic. What are the chances that you are going to stranded in the woods, in a jungle, or in hand to hand combat? Are you really going to be away from civilization and have to carry a sharpening stone. If you know what you are doing sharpening on a concrete sidewalk or a stone, you have more knowledge than the youtube experts who insist that you carry a sharpening stone.

Can anyone particulier sell it to me? Looking for one

0 cents outdoorsman. WTF are you doing with that knife?

Great discussion, thanks.

I found one 2 days ago or so, bought it for $80. It's that one but without the serrations and I carry it alot and I'm not planning on changing it for awhile honestly.

I was in the army from 1980 to 2003 and saw many uniform changes. What I do not miss is the Mickey Mouse boots. They sucked. We used to scotch-guard our field jackets.

Good morning friend hope all is good . Ive been hearing a lot mixed feelings on the trivitata ..how bout a short review ? B well !

I bought my son one for his birthday . and i carry mine as an EDC self defence knife. It has a nice weight for belt carry. It carrys well with a pistol because of the lightness.

Excellent presentation. Knife guy here. Prefer the modern version. Cut off the rubberized top and one can choke up on the knife very well. Sharpen the blade to YOUR degree of desired sharpless on an electric sharpener for a few minutes and you are good to go. If you want a jet pilot survival knife that is ready to go right out of the box, it is the Fallkniven f1. No concept of being a crew member's tool to cut out of WW2 crashed cargo planes.

Nice
