Regarding the Morakniv, your example knife is not the best one, the original Mora design goes today by the name "Mora Classic". It has a red wooden handle and a black plastic sheath and it is every bit the same as Finnish puukko in that there is usually no guard and the handle is simplistic without any grooves. When I was a kid (in Finland), this design is what was referred to when people said "mora" and it was so popular that the word pretty much meant the same as "puukko", they were high quality and very inexpensive puukkos from Sweden that matched the ones we were using.

I have that exact same knife as the first one you showed. The brass and leather is exact including the markings. As for the blade, mine has the elk also but the handle is a natural finish. There's also some writing etched on the blade that I cannot understand. I didn't know there was wood inside the sheath but I checked and there is. I acquired this knife and a Japanese Bowie without any info and through all my research, your video is the first match for at least one of these knives.

I would never buy a spyder co their trademark hole weakens the blade where you need the most strength.Ive seen them break there and the knife is destroyed not something you would want to happen when you need a knife

Amazing experimenting with urushi. I usually like a "basic" tamenuri, but your raden is cool too. I can only imagine how much time and $ you spent on this. Yes, the city in Japan where you could see urushi craftsmen that was damaged in the last earthquake was called Wajima. Beautiful small city. I hope the town will recover. Aloha.

Yay, it's good to hear, you've fixed the pen ! You must have high level skills. I'm envious. I'm not surprised by the seller's reaction. Just by the condition of the pen. Are they a well known seller? Can you give a hint to their identity 😂

Sold break down of the company cross. I always carry 2-3 pens on hand. 1. Fountain pen 2. Cross gell pen with black ink. So that if someone needs to borrow a pen, they can write with it, and the black gell ink color is awesome. 3. Fisher Space pen because no matter what is happening I can always count on it to write even in -30. 😆 Man wish I was rich. It would be nice to buy cross up and build them back up to what they once were. I was shocked to see cross gone from staples.

Could watch vids on puukkos all day. Such a simplistic and minimalist design. No Damascus steel required, no one harping on about how they're not full tang (if they've used and understand their functionality), no argument necessary about if uses the most expensive super steel in the world by someone that lets it sit inside their knife drawer... A true tool for sure, and this video does it great justice. Nice work!

I have been holding myself back for MONTHS from buying this pen. At first I was fixated on the Orange-black, but then a month ago a white one came out and I don't think I can hold myself back much longer. Every day that I get off from work there's a strong temptation to just visit my favourite pen store and buy one right that day. But I have a hunch that it's not going to work out just yet. There's a nagging voice in my head saying that the money would come in handy. That voice is probably a part of me maturing into a boring, sensible adult. Though I am happy with my two Lamy Lx for now. But soon my precious...soon. Update: I caved. Bought the Pearl White with a broad nib. It. Is. BEAUTIFUL!

Yes, the newer version has a stainless rod, but it makes the pen a LOT heavier, and the rod is rough - causing ink to leak past the seals. I should probably do a vid on these. I was able to fix mine by polishing the rod.

The Mora robust ìs a handyman knife and a forest knife. The reason to the button clip is traditional here in Sweden. manufacturer's attach a button on and a loop the right leg. It's easier to get the knife from there when you're working then from the belt. Interesting film
