Thank you! You’ll find that it’s a workhorse. And, get some Danish oil for the birch handles. It turns them a beautiful honey brown and makes the grain pop.

It was crazy windy that day. I’ll be posting more videos soon.

What steel do you prefer?

@@daginn896 honestly, neither. If I lost one I'd be happy knowing I still have the other.

@@daginn896 its a gem of a knife in my opinion

@@maselbac Thank you so much for your opinion :)

@@daginn896 you are very welcome

I completely agree. When I first learned of Ray, of course I obsessed about the woodlore knife. Here’s a little secret: A. Wright & Sons makes an almost identical knife to the current Ray Mears knife. The handles aren’t contoured. That’s about the only difference. That, and it retails for about $200. But, I think I’ve found my new favorite knife.

@@thewanderingheathen Casström's Lars Fält knife is basically a Woodlore.

@@Bushprowler if I’m not wrong, the Casström came before the woodlore, and Ray copied a lot of the designs… however, I can’t be 100%

@@thewanderingheathen no problem, you're 100% wrong. The original Woodlore dates back to the 80s/early 90s and was a design collaboration between knifemaker Alan Wood and Ray. Lars founded the Swedish Armed Forces Survival School and collaborated with swedish knifemaker Kaj Embretsen in the early 90s to design a knife for said unit. Lars' first 'signature' was more akin to a Fällkniven F1 with a full flat grind and was basically the F1's precedessor before it was produced by Linder, Germany. Lars' current Casström knife is basically indentical to the Woodlore pattern and the first prototype was made in 2017. Considering that Lars is a regular teacher on Ray's courses he's probably well accustomed to the design and choose this pattern as his Casström signature knife.

@@Bushprowler I consider myself educated. I did read Ray’s book, “My Outdoor Life” and remember him talking about his design, and the Wilkinson Sword knife, but I didn’t realize he’d come up with the design himself. Thanks for clearing it up!

A lot of channels don’t explain in detail how to make feather sticks properly. The thinner the shaving, the better chance of catching a spark and igniting

It’s decent, but the handle could be more ergonomic. If it were a bit wider it would feel much better in the hand.

I sure can. I’ll be uploading it within the week.

@@thewanderingheathen thanks man👍

@@thewanderingheathen update?

Thank you so much! My channel has taken a back seat as I’ve been crazy busy with work but I am posting more videos soon. This pandemic has also had its affect on things too. Thank you for checking my channel out!

Awesome!!!!

I subbed you guys too! Thank you so much!

What type of knife? I own several Moras. The Garberg is the heaviest one they make as it’s full tang.

Richard Outdoors thank you! Always ready to step up to some challenges! Been super busy with work but planning on getting out and making some new videos soon. Some things are opening up here. Still going to be careful and smart about it though.

Richard Outdoors I shall. Thank you bro. All the best from Virginia in the US of A!

And thanks for the Sub!
