I actually subscribed to his channel, he is extremely interesting. He hunts, kills the animal, then gives you a video on methods of cooking. He also does knife sharpening, and shows x-rays of knives and microscopic views of blades. He's the man.

I'll have to watch this later. I really don't have the time now, but if it's the guy I think it is this is going to be good.

Another thumbs up for virtuovice. He is a doctor. He has a way of speaking that you know he knows what he's talking about. Some of his reviews are of traditional japanese hunting knives, and he shows you how to order them from japan. It would help if I spoke japanese and read kanji...

Virtuonovice is the real deal. Hes a true outdoors man, whos out there using his knives for their intended purpose. And he makes good informative videos to boot. Been a subsciber for a long time. :thumbup:
Plus he takes it a bit further, and shows you how to prepare the game.
Theyve got Asiatic Black Bears in Japan. The ones with the white markings on their chest and big manes. Apparently, theyre extremely aggresive towards humans.

Cool video! Well, I can't say I designed the RSK Mk2 for killing bears, specifically. I truly hope he never has occasion to be forced to use it for that. Even the small Asiatic bear is not something I'd care to take on with only a knife, but unfortunately he has no other legal or practical option. I am sorry for him that that Japan's laws are so absurd and restrictive, on this and many other issues. That's the sort of thing I started Knife Rights to prevent over here.

Doug , if you think this is absurd , come visit my country ... Where in almost every aspect (knife carrying included), a person is regarded guilty unless proven otherwise ...
I wish I could legally carry a 6" blade !

I suppose I should have expected that. Despite its problems, I think I'll stick with here where "freedom," however imperfect, still means something, at least. Sorry to be you in this regard.
Doug,
The RSK MK2 would make a nice defensive tool in a survival situation. It certainly can be deployed faster then the BK2 out of their original sheath. It will be great if it is available in SS version, then I could tell my wife I need one for 'fighting' crocodiles in our rivers. Hehe!
Cheers!
