Let’s take a look at the overpriced Ka-Bar Camp Knife. I think we can do better for $60.

I review a KABAR USMC combat knife. The vid starts out with a spoof on an old kitchen knife set commercial. The KABAR is well suited for camping, hunting or combat.

Even the best manufacturers can have issues with quality control or unforeseen design problems. As the buyer, you should always give them the opportunity to fix the item. And there’s no better way to give them feedback than sending the item back with a letter explaining your concerns. I have been impressed with most knife manufacturers and their excellent customer when this has happened. Add Buck Knives to that list now. In correcting the blade centering issue in the Vantage Knives they were prompt and forthcoming. These Vantage Pro knives were shipped promptly and the company vowed to correct the problem. With a well-centered blade within the handle, the Vantage Knives enter the Nutnfancy knife “Hall of Fame.”

Here you’ll see the groundbreaking Becker Knives that established a new price point for such high performance blades. For what I do in the woods, I believe these blades will perform as well as production and semi-custom designs that cost many times as much. The Becker BK9 and BK7 are well made with high carbon 0170-6C steel, .188″ thick blades tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 58-59. I have found this steel to very durable in the wilderness. The GV6H (glass filled nylon) handles are comfortable and removable as well. These knives hack, hammer, and split wood well and are almost to the level of a Cold Steel Trailmaster/Recon Scout…not quite because they’re not full flat ground and are not quite 1/4″ in thickness. The BK8 weighs out at 25.5oz in sheath, the BK7 is at 17.1 oz in sheath…not lightweights but in the ballpark. Sadly they are out of production with the demise of the Camillus Knife Company in 2007. You might them on secondary markets and they still are a real smart buy for survival blades. The Beckers were among the first blades to crank out such solid performance for around $50.

This is my Indoor Knife Throwing Setup. I have IKEA curtains which are held up with two large elbow brackets. Behind that, I’ve nailed batting for extra protection. My stand was made from a friend using scraps of metal. I duct tape 1′ blocks of cedar to this stand. The layers of duct tape also ensures that the wood will last longer. My throwing weapons are 4 Plain Butter Knives, 2 Standard Throwing Knives, and 6 Cold Steel 12″ Sure Flight Throwers. I have other throwing weapons (shurikens, throwing spikes, throwing daggers) but this set is more practical in an offensive situation.

The Buck Vantage folding Knives rock. They are high value, handsome, low profile, hard cutting designs that make stellar EDC choices. The Vantage also offers the buyer several options in steel and handle material: Vantage Select Large and Small with 420HC and sculpted Zytel scales; the Vantage Pro with S30V and sculpted G10 scales (good looking!); the Vantage Avid with 13C26 Sandvik® and again G10 scales. Large size Vantages have 3 1/4″ (8.3 cm) blades; the Small Vantage 2 5/8″ (6.7 cm) length. The looks on these knives are striking and yet provide solid ergonomics. The sculpted Zytel handles don’t provide a lot of traction but are good looking, light, and thin. The CNC contoured G10 scales on the Pro model add even better looks (the Avid features CNC contoured Charcoal Dymondwood® scales). The blade shape is superb and reminiscent of the uber-expensive Sebenza to me. It possesses a near-perfect form for all kinds of everyday cutting tasks with nice curvature (belly), sweep, swedge, polished flats, and a strong tip. It is hollow ground. Blade finishes are good with the S30V version showing a smoother satin finish with less pronounced striations. Any of the three steels offered should be excellent in role as well and I have been happy with the performance of my other Buck 420HC knives. Many will prefer the S30V Vantage Pro model for just a few more dollars/euros; it is an amazing value at around $40 (price, models all subject to change without updates here). The Vantage deploys fast and smooth with its unassisted flipper design and features an oblong deployment hole for secondary actuation as well. The liner lock design is thin and adequately strong and produces a very thin carry knife in pocket…another big advantage (or vantage!) to the design. Lockup is tight and solid in all directions in all models used and examined. Another homerun in design department is the deep carry, low profile, polished, high strength pocket clip: 10 out of 10. This is the best EDC pocket clip design I’ve seen. If its carry tension (against the pocket) is minimal, it is easy to rectify with removal of the Torx screws and do a little tweaking of the clip (I did). Carry weights are reasonable at 4.0 oz for Vantage Select Large, 2.4 oz Vantage Select Small, and 4.4 oz for Vantage Pro (G10 adds some micro ounces). As shown in the video however, blade centering in handle seems to be a quality control issue with current Buck Vantage knives and needs to be corrected; some models have the blade rubbing the liner. These knives will be sent back to Buck for service. But if Buck can square this issue away, the Buck Vantage is an amazing design and value achievement for this quintesscential American knife maker. Already it is a fast seller in their line and I predict it will be one of their most popular models ever. And even as it stands now, it achieves impressive ratings from me and enters into my BEST EDC playlist. /////////////////////////// Nutnfancy LIkability Scale: 10 out of 10 (price, centering problem fixed) /////////////////// Music: http://www.partnersinrhyme.com
