[@luisloya1120]

I bought the knife and the folding saw thanks to you!!!

[@TheOldBassplaya]

Bahco pronounced "backo" (Berndt August Hjorth & CO) founded in Sweden in 1881 as a machine shop. In 1890 they began to develop and sell tools from their own mechanic workshops in Enköping

[@plantman5126]

I bought all 3 for my first adventure, tyvm for the information!

[@r91976]

Excellent value tools, although i want my tools with bright vivid colors when in the woods. I would pick a bahco pg-72 instead and a Mora Companion HD in orange as well (or even better a Mora Bushcraft Orange if the budget allows).

[@eliezervazquez5703]

Great video

[@pinkbrisingr78]

Good video Aaron. Never thought about Marttinni brand even for backup even though this vid meant for budget. Heck, most average people areon a budget! Some good points & products mentioned. The knife seems like a brother to a Mora. Thanks & God Bless!

[@dreem1walker]

Just a little hint - the c in Bahco isn't silent. =D

[@boblangevin685]

Love it. great video This stuff is all excellent. Not familiar with the knife, but I love the Mora carbon knives. I started with the Fiskars X7 axe and still use the Laplander. Good video Mora carbon kinfe, Fiskars X7 axe & Bahco Laplander are super items in the bush. On a budget or otherwise.

[@gideonstactical]

+Bob Langevin Thanks my friend.

[@alexmmh4051]

I have fiskars knife, and saw... Sw75 pr something like that.. Very good.. Now i looking for x5-x10 axe... Idk what size to take.

[@beaufannon4480]

I like that Marttini

[@palerider7171]

Thanks for sharing and looking after the common man. Marttiini is brand I am keeping my eye as Mora has gotten a little full themselves price wise. I got my BushCraft Black for around $35 and now I see them now going for $45-65 depending on sheath and the price seem to be rising. Mora has also redesign there "adventure" line to be BB minic's, dropping the wood handle options (except for high end collectibles) and other variants. Price, choice and reliability is what sold many of us on Mora. They my be flirting with disaster playing in the $40+ market especially with Schrade offering solid full tang options in that price range.

[@gideonstactical]

Great points and I totally agree with you!

[@aaronwilcox6417]

Ok, it's 8yrs later and this review is probably one of the best you've done and stands the test of time. Now that's it's 2023 and the prices have inflated these three tools have stood the test of time and I still consider them to be and outstanding triad of tools that will get things done.

[@gideonstactical]

Thank you so much!

[@mikekollross8810]

I was thinking about this very type of kit when I found your video. The most important part IMHO is to balance the size of each tool. No sense having a huge axe but a saw that can't process enough logs. Or a large saw capable of cutting large logs but not having an axe capable of splitting it. Great video.

[@tatejordan385]

Wow, I found a rusted old hachet in the woods, I took a file to it and sanded down the handle, and basically a free hachet

[@mikedifeo8344]

As usual great vid. I have a question. I really like the Martiini knife, but in this case I think I would consider a Light My Fire Swedish FireKnife. Might cost a just tad more but having the fire start capability for just another $8, I think is well worth it. I think the Martiini knife is better but the fire starter is just as important.

[@crazyswedishguy]

I don't think you'll really go wrong either way given the low price point of those items (for decent quality), but I personally would choose to keep the knife and ferrocerium rod separate (I would not get the Light My Fire Swedish FireKnife). For a few reasons, but primarily because it will be easier to keep the knife clean without a hole in which dirt can get stuck, and the knife won't feel weird if I lose the rod. I also think the simple knife will be more durable than something made of interconnecting pieces that eventually wear and become loose. You can pick up a ferrocerium rod pretty cheap on eBay or Amazon. I have a Mora Bushcraft Black which I like, along with a few different firesteels. The Marttiini Condor seems like equally good bang for your buck.

[@winglis2001]

The martini is basically a carbon copy of the mora bushcraft black

[@markmcgarry8543]

All these years and it’s the first time I’ve saw this video. I’m off to but a martini timberjack right now! Thanks man.

[@elcas20012003]

i agree with your list sometimes we wait too much to have the right gear to go out ... better make the mistake with cheap gear then with experience you know what you need and upgrade with time

[@billyglenjr5327]

No! You must have a $100+ wetterlings axe, a $300+ custom convex grind, full tang blade that can throw a spark using the spine and no true bushcrafter goes to the woods without at least three ways to saw wood. Jk!

[@gideonstactical]

Haha!

[@ibpn4284]

seems to be the "mentality" of the for $ "per say" bushcraft you tubers "as it were" to have the high dollar "multi - functionally" "accouterments" . can you guess who I'm talking about?

[@billyglenjr5327]

Ibpn yes

[@luisloya1120]

Finish products 👍👍👍

[@ratroddiesels1981]

proven tools they work.

[@andrewgreen1378]

I have a hard time faulting these choices. I have a Gerber branded hatchet that is pretty much the X7 equivalent (Fiskars head,). It chews through logs within a reasonable size. Haven't heard of Martiini before this video, but now curious about them. I own a few Moras for smaller blades, and really like that pukko style. I don't own the Bahco saw. I do own other Bahco tools, and they have been quality so far. Seems like a solid, no BS set of gear. Function and durability > labels.

[@ratroddiesels1981]

3 of the best bushcraft tools on the market . i would prefer them over more costlier tools . they work and are super dependable whether in the deep woods of maine or alaska . the fiskars axe sharpens so sharp and stays sharp for a long time . a martini or a mora best bushcraft knives out there , especially for me , im on a small budget and its commonman priced . thank you for your video .

[@CoffeeConsumer643]

I have marttini big game knife

[@stratossatmospheros8722]

Hey Gideon , can i ask you, where you did get this chest pouch ?

[@jamesaritchie2]

I suspect the Marini doesn't get as much air time as the Mora for three reasons. One, it costs a little more for the same type of knife and blade. 2. Mora has far more choices. 3. The steel simply isn't as good as Mora uses. It's not 1095, it's Carbinox T508, which isn't a bad steel at all, but it's not quite as hard as what Mora uses. For that matter, just because a steel is 1095 does not automatically mean it's any good. many companies use 1095, but not the best 1095, and others cheap out on the heat treating and stress relief process. Mora doesn't. The Martini is definitely a good knife, but does cost just a little more for the same style knife, and the steel is a little softer.

[@calebb7012]

There is nothing budget about this video. The Martinni knives are more expensive than Mora lol! I'm assuming this guy is in the states, my amazon selection might be different. But a gerber axe would be a better choice than the Fiskar, and definitely a Morakniv for a knife. Literal $20 difference.

[@ChaplainDaveSparks]

A tip:. If you're going to use a high carbon steel knife for food processing, bring some mineral oil. 1095 will rust and you will probably want to protect it with something that won't contaminate your food.

[@perpil1]

FISKARS X7 27$ mora companion 14$ and husqvarna folding saw 12$ budget kit for for 43$

[@jhfenderr1]

home depot Milwaukee folding saw for 10 bucks plus blade 😊

[@sucklemyknuckle7941]

was gonna buy one of those fiskars hatchets but the hollow handle kinda freaked me out, since i have a tendency to overpower my equipment at times....or will ask my equipment to step up to the challenge.....but i may have to try one out after all

[@biologicalleh7850]

i have almost the exact same kit, except instead of the fiskars i got the mora axe, and instead of the martinni i got the mora craftline robust, and i decided on a silky say for the shorter yet just as effective sawblade ( i chose the pocket boy 170) and i added on a large ontario rd6 bush ( not really for bush craft, more for hd batoning since the mora cant handle a whole lot, i got the knives and saws before the axe btw)

[@wookie9581]

You can get a marbles hatchet for $25 far superior to the crappy fiskars hatchet. Condor has some good bushcraft knives for $40 or less

[@bryanjaeck4828]

This is more or less what I have done for years, knife, hatchet and saw. Shopping around buying better than average gear, knives and saw are new but you can find some good hatchets at garage sale. Keep a set at home, set in the vehicles.

[@rochaallanc]

Great video! I'm just looking for an entry kit and I am definitely getting these tools! subscribed!

[@LukeMorry]

Dude, I agree 66.6% ;) lol I just find it hard to look past the Mora BushcraftBlack lol

[@gideonstactical]

Luke Morry I would take the BB over the Marttiini but that would bring it to around $80 for that set up.

[@LukeMorry]

lol very true, but people really cant go wrong with either blades lol

[@irekirek123]

I would take a $13 old hickory butcher knife

[@dazzthepatriot8389]

***** I have an old hickory that did a little file work on and it is my favorite, and my best, utility knife. I think they are often overlooked as great knives.

[@zdrahar8977]

Завидую я вам американцам. И время есть свободное и страна адекватная. Но пластик... На нож лучше береста. А на топор бук.

[@sawyersmith2959]

If you want a more traditional Bushcraft Axe, then I would pick a Marbles Camp Axe, 19 inch handle I believe, high carbon steel, and it has a wooden handle. I'm sorry but I can not stand composite handles!

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

Sawyer Smith Probably the best budget wood handled axe.

[@paulie4x1]

Hot dog, I'm using the same combination's on my hot cup of coffee on the open fire, it doesn't get any better, and its better than going to Mc D's, any mid size field/camp knife will do, Ratmandu, Blackbird SK-5, etc., I almost ordered the Bahco Laplander, until I saw the Video on the Wicked Tree Gear Tough Folding Saw, and I upped with the 2Hawks Trapper Double Bit Hatchet, I like the idea you can split on one side, and get it sharp enough to carve with the other side on the hatchet, the different bit's is a good idea to me, Nessmuk did right with the idea, Fiskar's is good hatchet, and my friends swear by them, but they just don't appeal to me, I went with my Estwing's, but for the money, especially trying to get the folk's out to enjoy the out of door's, I think you did a great job suggesting these tool's, good job Aaron.

[@gideonstactical]

paulie 4x Thanks so much!

[@MasterK9Trainer]

That Marttiini is nice. I agree it's not being recognized. I like the three choices. What is that bag you are wearing on your chest? Except for one good quality pouch (Fanny pack), I need something compact and wearable on either the hip, back, or shoulder I can use in the suburbs... and is hopefully not too pricey. That thing looks very comfortable on you.

[@gideonstactical]

I have a review on it, the hill people kit bag.

[@wonkylommiter6364]

Can i ask what type of chest pack it is that you have in the video?

[@misteragb7558]

Awesome knife but it's 20 dollars, freakn cheap but a mora 511 is only 9 dollars

[@misteragb7558]

+MISTER AGB and yes martinii is underrated but that's just because mora is even a little cheaper Just like Hultafors

[@mangkepweng8670]

Just don't buy any schrade knives........ They're all a waste of money..............

[@BF3SlingShoT]

exelent choice there sir, you just described 3 items i got in my backpack, and ive had them for several years,not failed, gooing strong ;) i got other stuff aswell but this is actually what i usualy fall back on every single year.

[@gideonstactical]

BF3SlingShoT Sweet!

[@zdrahar8977]

Сталь на фискарсе говно. Что то вроде 3cr13...

[@Yasinx63]

nice gear dude.. mind linking Indian version of links

[@nyykoo9041]

Nice i found that knife with leather sheath

[@manuduportu]

Hi, someone know the brand of that chest bag??

[@X_explorer]

Fantastic vid! I love looking earth, discover and calm down...

[@ogarzabello]

1. POOR: Marttiinis have very poor edge retention. 2: GOOD. Bahcos are good, very good, but silkys are excellent. 3. EXCELLENT: Fiskars are probably the best.

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

Pretty hard to argue with these choices.

[@paulie4x1]

Just to prove how I like to match my tool's for the bush. I matched up Mr a 2000, with the Mora Hatchet and a Bacho Laplander. I also will carry a sheathed Bokor Plus Vox Black Rold as my on person knife and all match in color somehow. Even if I was somehow seperated from my pack or I overturned my canoe, I will still have on my Survival Belt with the Rold. Laplander Canteen and my Necessities Pouch. But the chance of that happening is nill. Because, I just want a Lite Carry and a Haversack for a afternoon delight.

[@paladin7284]

As far as hatchets go, I actually prefer the estwing 14 inch sportsman over the fiskars

[@ionalexandru8629]

You obviously haven't used both, you would think the opposite if you did.

[@josefedan3570]

I would prefer to go with the mora companion which is less than 20$. It's a really great knife. As far as the axe, I prefer a wood handle, so I would look for a vintage head and put a handle on it. It would probably total 30$ unless I could find one one craigslist or at some swapmeet or thriftstore, or yard sale. Another good option is to buy the ontario 12" machete. It really doesn't cost much to obtain good quility bushcraft tools. The most costy is the knife. To buy a really good one you could pay over 100$. Thankfully we have mora and condor. Love bahco saws, but I am really liking the 12" bow saw. Thanks for the video.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Aaron, I do listen to you on your videos. This is the time of the year, I like the most, because the weather is warmer so I don't have to process as much firewood to keep warm. When I start searching, I go to your videos. I found a good deal on one of the Lite Hatchets you shared. I could buy a Mora Hatchet and a Mora 2000 for a reasonable price. But the price on the kit is in orange only. The green set isn't in that price. But because the extra I bought qualified me for free shipping so I was able to buy the green set for only a few dollars more. I bought the Wicked Tough Saw over the Bacho Laplander and no regrets. But for the new set I just bought, I ordered a Laplander so the Trio will match great. I know you could get a Orange Bacho Laplander with the Mora 2000 and Hatchet in Orange, But I like Green. I know the Mora Hatchet is only a substitute for a large knife as a chopper, because it's really too light to chip down a tree or even spit. But as only a lite chopper instead of a heavy knife for chopping, is all I wanted. I really enjoy going out to practice a little survival in the bush and kill two birds with one stone, I really enjoy a hot cup of coffee on the open fire and a baked potato and search for fatwood. I think my Mora 2000, the Mora Hatchet and the Bacho Laplander is a good Lite Trio that will work out for what I enjoy to do in the bush. Oh, I know the weight makes a big difference and I really wouldn't use this set in freezing weather where processing alot of wood is necessary to stay warm. But all I want is a lite chopper that will replace a heavier knife chopper and this new set is just that and it's very reasonably priced. Thanx Aaron for your videos. Again you helped out alot.

[@oldigger7060]

Good video and some well chosen kit!

[@mohammedridha9171]

What type of knife is that on your belt the one with holster

[@DJS99haha]

What’s the huge knife your battoning with on the intro

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

dalton sasakamoose Becker bk9 with grey custom micarta handles.

[@John-lr3ix]

Would you still choose the Martini over a Mora ?

[@usmchs2993]

got my kbar from time I was in USMC for free. hatchet was $7.99 out the door and folding saw was $5. Never an issue with Kbar, hatchet or saw.

[@normanmallory2055]

You do good at what ever the task is at hand, i really enjoy your testing of equipment , knives, etc... It helped me to purchase a knife for the tasks of outdoor camping and building projects...

[@snowpuppy77]

Nice job here. I have a wood handle Marttiini filet knife that is about 25 years old and it is excellent. I have thought about trying one of their puukko knives. I think you just convinced me to do so.

[@Leoj-dx2nv]

Excellent!! Every time I want to buy something I always end up in your channel for the pros and cons for that specific item. Your videos always helps me a LOT!! to decide if its worth it to buy it or not. Thank you. Regards

[@TheOneViking]

Laplander looks like it doesn't cut as good as any silky. But good video. I always wanted a Martini.

[@ShooterMedic1818]

Very nice man, though I have head about the axe failing. Would still buy though.

[@gideonstactical]

I and my bro each have one and have used them for over a year in the frigid Rocky Mountains all winter with no issues. Through nothing is indestructible. Lol

[@ShooterMedic1818]

gideonstactical Nice man, I will take your word for it and give it a go. Already in my "to buy" list. What breed of dog is your friend there?

[@surfaren1]

Good review, but what pants are you wearing? And that is knee protection right?

[@Lars1540]

Aaron, the reason the Marttiini knives are not as popular as the Mora knives is quite simple. Mora knives cost less than Marttiini knives (notice I didn't say they were "cheaper", as that word may imply "less quality" which isn't the case with Mora. But The bottom line is that Mora knives and Marttiini knives are both just a simple rat tail tang knife and they are both made very well, but people are just going to buy the one with the better value - the Mora. Personally I have already broken two of my Mora in the field because of that rat tail tang, so I have transitioned over to only bringing full tang knives with me in the woods now.

[@gideonstactical]

***** Right on!

[@sanfranciscobay]

What knives did you break and what were you doing when they broke?

[@Lars1540]

I broke a Mora Classic #2 and a Mora 511. I broke both at different times, but while battening pieces of wood no more than wrist thick.

[@sanfranciscobay]

Where did the break occur on the blade?

[@Lars1540]

The wooden handle on the Classic #2 cracked. And the tang on the 511 bent and came loose from the handle and fell out.

[@brutalbrital]

3 excellent choices

[@gamersquidtv5000]

Corona saws are 20 bucks

[@kevingolden734]

the fiskars axe is made from cheap steel it rolls and chips i wouldnt give it to anyone

[@markkozleuchar4958]

Hey aaron great video. Take a look at silky saw the are a freaking chainsaws.

[@xXxFanning]

what forest are you in

[@soisitimpossible]

Might want to stick with Mora's tried and tested quality! When I first started out I bought a fiskars and it broke, mind you it was about -30 C. But after that I bought a 15$ run of the mill hatchet with a fibreglass handle I used for two years with no fail until I could afford a wetterlings small forest axe. I agree items can be bought inexpensively but avoid fiskars in my personal opinion!

[@ZacAttack9906]

what knife is that you're batoning with in the intro?

[@SteveSmith-sd5hq]

That is the Kabar Bk 9

another great video Aaron

[@tumbleweed6658]

thump's UP I like it !!!!

[@theenderlord2256]

Im a nub at this, but not really new. I carry a bahco and a mora cliper, but i feel like the axe is sorta useless... I would replace with a steel water bottle. Those arent really essential, but boiling water is risky in a wood bowl with rocks

[@slimer322]

The EnderLord when do you need a lot of fire woods you will need axe. Like winter tent stove.

[@thenorthernwoodsman3455]

throw that fiskers in the trash, and get a Husquavarna.

[@gordon920]

Fsikars is cheap because it is cheap material and like the ole saying goes, "you get what you pay for". I just Google searched your suggestion and I must say, that is an axe (or hatchet, whichever you perfer) lol. Anyways, just thought I'd share the news with ye lol. Cheers!

[@BzykN7]

Yup, and in Poland Husqvarna is not even above Fiskars prices...

[@stephenbrowne33]

Pat Provost I'm not with you on that one. I've owned many hatchet and axes. My fiskars is the one that stays in my pack for use. it's light and feels good in the hand. the cutting edge holds up as well as any comparable hatchet. the company makes good scissors and a good axe.

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

Meh, fiskars is on hell of a work horse.

[@TheChronicRhythm]

my fiskars has lasted me 2 years and still going strong. Only chips I've ever gotten were when I left my friends try processing wood.
