that feeling you get when you spend hours on a project that ends up looking like crap and mors does the job in minutes with exceptional results

[@themoodybobby1]

NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS. Watching the master at work is a real pleasure. Hope to attend one of your classes one day.

[@Naughtz]

I can't even grasp how good his knife skills are! Extremely confident skills he has and the knife is like apart of his hand! Lol

[@brianrice2224]

Man am I lucky I got some of that bark, it made a great cup and the Raven hanging from my mirror in the Jeep. Funny that may have been from 14 years ago, but when he carved a face for us in the summer of 2013 he was just as fast. Great knife skills, I have a long way to go.

[@viracocha72]

"making a pipe for some of our so-called tobacco additives" LOL Canada.

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

Yet another great video featuring the legend himself. Eager to try carving this bark out now. Thanks.

[@rokhnroll]

wow Mr Kochanski you are without question or doubt a master with the knife. Thanks for sharing.

[@Deriust]

Single most amazing video on master woodcarving I have ever seen. Can't believe how fast he was! Amazing.

[@max_fjellstorm]

Amazing carving and the material.. we have Black poplar here in Europe but they’re never this large or have that kind of bark

[@lhtrf]

Finally someone who sees my point of view about "cutting towards myself" :P

[@AlexanderHolsgrove]

What an amazing guy. It took me hours to carve a simple spoon and he does a better job in just a couple of minutes. Thanks for uploading

[@RhysTucker2603]

Mors you are my hero!

[@paulwastaken]

fantastic! the spoon carving was amazing to watch, thanks for sharing!

[@bushlifeaholick790]

WoW!! What a craftsman with a knife wam,bam,done👍Id like to see how to make a pipe

[@andrewkrahn2629]

for those cutting toward their chest: keep the POINT of the knife away from you, and keep your wrist torqued so your thumb points straight ahead, not to the other side. This puts the meat of the base of your thumb between your knife and you and makes it impossible to cut yourself. (Mors is already doing this). For more, check out the "Knife Grip Sessions" playlist by Sundqvist on the Mora/MoraKniv KZbin channel, all about safe greenwood slöjd carving grips.

He makes it look so easy. Great video.

[@Nativesurvival]

Wow Mors lol well done. Speed Carving ; )

[@509Gman]

Amazing! We have black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) where I am, very similar. I'm excited to try some of this!

[@Wintertrekker]

Again, excellent!

[@Barbarossa4U]

Great work. I'd love to see him carve a pipe. I bet it would look great.

[@Reverend_Mojo]

[@dutchunlimited]

Afaik it is not on any of the previous videos (Knots, sticks, blades, clothing)

[@harvestblades]

which video is this content from? I also really like the hat Mors.

[@mihailvormittag6211]

👍

[@TacticalPlus]

my left ear like it

[@3riverblades]

I just purchased Mors book! Bushcraft. Is he still alive?

[@kyguyinohio]

What brand of knife are you using to carve with? I have never seen carving knifes like those.

[@Karamat]

It is a Mora Knife, the Erickson style.

[@maritimespook]

***** Mors your a genius i saw your segment on 'on the road again' in 88 and went out that day and built a shelter i was 8 ,,you have influenced many people and are a hero to many....like myself ! cheers from New Brunswick !

[@praharin]

According to Wikipedia, he is alive and 72

[@Jim-si7wz]

8.40 not safe wood carving then you realise and start carving away from you, we all make mistakes.

[@Karamat]

Not quite sure what you are talking about Jim.

[@themoodybobby1]

Here come the "safety" ninjas. Title of the video must be "Knife safety". True "experienced" whittlers carve toward themselves all the time but do so safely as learned from real experience.

[@williammontroy9024]

Kinda like tryin to tell Leonardo how to paint isn't it???

[@svent1000]

Do that mouth ever stop talking?
