Yeah I was reading a bit about the knife and remembered that butt was designed to strike something if needed, but seeing that sharpish angle I showed off with new knife in front of the mrs and threw some sparks in the kitchen sink. She wasn’t impressed. Rasul looks like sturdy kitchen knife...

Magnacut

So F1 and Puukko went back and Lionsteel arrived. Handle is comfortable for size 9.5 hands, durable micarta and overall quality of the knife and sheath is nice. Length of the blade is short and with rounded spine it will be comfortable to cut wood and to control the tip. I couldn't make sparks...

@sidpost I play it safe - usually Mora Convoy 4-4.5k 519a for close up flood and xhp70.2 for longer reach.

@C_Claycomb you are spot on with your assessment - I don’t have experience and therefore don’t know/understand what I want. I may go m4 magnacut and skrama combo.

I may leave Puukko 200 then, as it's discontinued now and play with handle scales/grind later if needed...

I did see this previously, but it's a bit confusing. Corrosion resistance on my newish Surge 420hc should be 8 according to graph, but after light use around house and trip to Spain where salty water wasn't involved I see already rust specs. It's always stored in a pouch and kept dry. Strange...

Another question - by how much 3v is better in toughness compared to Elmax and if Elmax will destroy 3v in edge retention? I’ve seen one rope cutting test where 3v did 180 cut before loosing edge sharpness and Elmax did 475.(magnacut does around 600 for reference)

Is scrama still legal in UK? I did look up the recent updates and looks like it still meets what allowed. It’s just looks big…

I did read read it. I was strongly considering this knife and was thinking if 3v are not as rust proof and handle let moisture get under so why do i need to replace handle later on if I could get a better knife out of the box. Im guessing 3v is not times stronger than Elmax or Magnacut.

@C_Claycomb If chopping would be my only purpose maybe I would get Skrama instead or in addition smaller knife, but I would like to get something that is rather good in all areas instead of brilliant in one and in smaller package. M4 magnacut is a very nice knife, but am I right in saying that...

Hello, Greeting to everyone it's my first post here. I'm looking for advice for a survival knife up to £250. Would like something strong for wood chopping, fire starting, carving and maybe occasional food prep. Puukko 200, BM Bushcrafter, Fallkniven F1x Elmax is something I have my eye on...
