Whats the reason for so much of a curve on a bushcraft knife blade I could see it being useful for skinning but I wouldn’t use a scandi grind for that anyway?

Wrong technique for feather sticking with a large blade.
@westcoastbushcrafters
@westcoastbushcrafters 9 күн бұрын
Guess you mean the technique where you place the knife tip in the wood statically and use the stick that will become the feather stick as the moving motion? Guess we could have done it better in that case👍
@TheDavewatts
@TheDavewatts 9 күн бұрын
@westcoastbushcrafters No, I would hold the piece of wood off the ground when making any feather sticks, you get less fatigue in your four arm. Difficult for me to explain in words, check out someone like Rob Evans, he explains better, but users the same technique that I do, and much better I might add. It wasn't a criticism buy the way, just trying to save any aching arm, I did enjoy your video, and appreciate your input on this knife.😁👍🏻

Another great video from the West Coasters. I have the same pack. Yes, it's expensive and heavy, but it's very durable and will outlive my my other packs. Side pouches make it really practical and allow me to adjust the pack for my needs. Mesh bag (sold separately and stupidly over priced, but does double up as an ultralight day sack) is great attached to the hood and allows me to store foul weather gear or clothing that needs airing out. Wish i could buy the straps that come with the open pouches separately. They are brilliant.

I seriously considered buying this some time ago, its a very nice pack. But I came to the conclusion, with the price-tag in mind, that it would be overkill for day-trips, and too heavy for multiple day trips. I prefer "UL with comfort" mentality, and my 42L Gossamer Gear pack for hiking weighs less than half of this pack (709 gram). So I couldnt really see to fit it in, but its a sweet pack nonetheless. Its even pretty looking....

For being such a versatile backpack there is not much to find about it on the internet. Only a few reviews here and there but no mods or tutorials on how to make it even more versatile. Which is weird because the loops are basically made for modding and attaching DIY pockets. The Fjällräven pockets are great of course but can be quite expensive on top of the already costly pack. And you do need the extra pockets for camping if you are not a minimalist.
@westcoastbushcrafters
@westcoastbushcrafters 5 күн бұрын
Good point! Quite a lot possibilities and Fjällräven has at least 4- 5 different pockets that you can purchase and attach to the singi. Will keep that in mind for a possible follow up👍. Not cheap like you mentioned 😅

Nice test 👍 My favorite is the KS 8 -F, which has a fingerguard, and is much safer to use. The KS 8-F is used by the military. I also own the KS 7, because I wanted a lighter knife; but unfortunatly this knife has a handle which is too small for my hands.

Thanks😁👍! It is great they made different versions. We have never had the opportunity to test it but pretty cool👌. Pity that the ks 7 does not fit your hand well. Couple a weeks ago I bought the exact same knife in a second hand store in Norway. That one had a mark on the sheath from the postal company. Going to dig in that history bit more soon. How cool is that to give such a knife as a present to coworkers 😄🤘

Firelighting by spine: I have several knives out of scandinavian countries made with scandinavian steels… something about the steels that do not make huge showers of sparks. Amazing in every other way but those knives specifically require a peice of hack-saw or carbide scraper to go along with the ferro-rod. Also, the leuku by design is part of a set: axe, leuku, puuko…. Which happens to be very close to the american “nessmuk”’s kit. Great video gents! I found you guys specifically looking up stromeng leuku reviews. Good stuff. Thanks for what you do!

Hi! Thank you for your comment and great to hear you appreciated the content! Regarding the showers of sparks: can that has something to do with the amount of carbon in the steel? I have a Casström Lars Fält in K720 steel that works very well with that. Nowedays it is produced in sleipner steel. Never done a good comparison on that but would be interesting to just test. People from the North with their long roots in the outdoors, fascinating. They understand nature and tools required to survive. Fantastic with similarities around the globe.

Well… as the Pictus designer I got to say the following: 1. It’s actually a knife designed and oriented to Hunting and Processing the meat from that hunting. Also that’s why it comes with arrows heads. 2. The length of the blade is because sometimes big game don’t die by the arrow or even a shot, so that sharp spear point and long blade allows the hunter to kill by stabbing right in the heart. 3. The wider blade makes it easier to butchering and processing the meat. 4. It’s not for chopping wood but however, I suggest to chop always in a 45 degree angle, by always I mean…always, because 90 degrees would most likely damage a blade if is not designed to chop. Basically, the right tool for each task. Anyway, I can chop with different kind of blades, heavy or light and I won’t damage it, just by using the proper force and the right angle. 5. For feather sticks, just more practice 😉👍🔪 sometimes you just need to get just to how the blade “bites” and the level of pressure to put on your moves. 6. The 1095 steel also allows to make “percussion fire”. You should try that. 7. The sheath is ambidextrous 😉 Be well Walt

Hi Walt! Much appreciate that you as the designer of the Pictus take time to watch our episode and leave a very valuable comment! This will help all future viewers to get a better understanding of the knife. Thanks for taking your time! Here in Sweden they have promoted the Condor Pictus as a survival and forest knife. We have tested it like we do with most of the knives we purchase. Haha yeah with feather sticking we will never stop practicing. Every knife gives a different feeling and that is challenging and fun! Thanks for the 45 degree tip! Sometimes to keep in mind, always!😁👍 Just wanted you to know that we really enjoyed filming and the use of your designed knife. We bought it for a reason 😁👍. The knife is now located closest to the place where big chunks of meat will be processed and I can promise you that it will be used from time to time during bbq parties ( and future hunting) here in Sweden. Thanks again for the helpful tips and suggestions. All the best!
