Pretty damn nifty.

Notice Immler's comment that these are bushcraft knives, as opposed to survival knives. As I've mentioned before, any knife can be used for survival purposes to some degree, but a survival knife is a knife which is designed to withstand tasks and stresses for which knives are not intended. Nevertheless, the 3.2mm blade thickness and a full tang mean that these knives are not delicate.

The additional tools- the sharpening stone, ferro rod, tweezers and a 20mm drill honor the tradition of the Swiss Army Knife.

The hex head in the pommel is a great idea and you are not limited to just the one tool included for use in this socket, but you would need long-shank tools. It looks like smaller hex bits would not work.

Pair up this knife with a hatchet and a saw and you'd be all set for the woods.

I saw that today. It looks like have a L & S model. I'm liking the 4" L model.
They do make some very nice knives.

Here we go again down the rabbit hole. Having seen the guy’s videos of him making things with the regular Swiss Army knife, I’m expecting him to make a row boat and oars with this knife.

Reading the thread title, I imagined something like the Mora Lok. Looking at the thumbnail made me think “that is the most Swiss-army fixed blade knife ever.”

I don't camp and have no bushcraft skills.

I have at least a half dozen fixed blade knives I have never carried and have never so much as opened an Amazon box.

I want one of these. Including the full tool kit.

Freaking cool. It’s like a better version of the Mora with the sharpener and rod attached.

You need to quit with posting cool knives. Frown First with your Gerber knife in the truck and now this one… At least they have a reasonable MSRP on them.

Looks like both have the std version. I think I’m going to hold out for the Pro version with tweezers and fire steel in the sheath……

Thanks for the links!

I just saw that a good friend of mine has one for sale on BladeForums. Not sure if it's a good deal but Gary is known for his excellent tweaks to knives.

Knife Center is now showing that they have all three colors of the Standard Venture in stock, and the fire steel. The Pro, and the Pro kit are still pre-order, delayed by manufacturer, etc. Might get a Pro myself a bit later.

Showing my utter ignorance once again. You watch something like "Forged in Fire" and see the work it takes to produce a quality blade, from actual forging of the steel to shaping it and creating the finished product. How do high output manufacturers streamline this process and produce identical blades time after time? Is a rough product made and hand finished or what?

**edit** Watched some You Tubes, laser cutting!

It's not my kind of knife, but, if they can't be readily found, I can vouch for the guy on Blade Forums, Gary Graley, as a friend and as a VERY honest guy in his dealings. I've done lots of deals with him and had him do a number of things to my knives to tweek them to my liking.

He makes a swivel for the sheath so that the knife can swivel forward or backward when one sits.

Just FYI, you can add a ferro rod and sharpener kit to the mora garberg and kansbol.

Spotted this the other day at Knife Center (I was looking for Swiss Army knife replacement toothpicks, seriously); the Venture Pro fixed blade in black and pro kits are in stock.
