Bushcraft Cutting Tools: Mora knives, hatchets, axes, and saws!

[@Carl-eu6ns]

You are the man! You videos are concise and realistic. I especially like that you cover materials that are financially within reach (as in NOT a $200 knife). Thanks for all of your hard work developing this series!

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks a bunch, I appreciate it!

[@yourlocalaughbarmain2163]

it nice to see someone like me that loves his axes as much as his knifes

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Yeah these blades are special to me!

[@rival3822]

Please come back to us. Right now is the perfect time for basics, beginner tutorials and bushcraft/survival “common sense” videos. All the people in quarantine will eat this genre up because of basic primal instinct to be able to survive. All the other similar channels are capitalizing on the massive audiences that flock to a video that catches a little bit of trendiness, then boom, the channel blows up, and things have the possibility to take off. Plus makes for good utilization of time when monetarily income can be uncertain. I’ve successfully binged all your videos over the course of 2 months and I decided to subscribe to you because you’re an interesting guy and have knowledge to share. All love brother, stay safe in these times🤘🏼💪🏼

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks for watching and subbing! I'm glad you're learning stuff from these videos that I make.

[@shutupandy6110]

I think you should get a mora classic 611/612. It’s exactly like the mora classic #1/#2 but with a front quillon (finger guard) To prevent future injuries if your hand goes up the knife.

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks for sharing I'll look into it.

[@dimitrivos7088]

Tip if you scrape The paint of the mora 1.0 it isn’t slippery at all

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thx for the tip! I thought about doing that but haven't gotten around to it.

[@dimitrivos7088]

@@WannabeBushcrafter ok i also burnished my handle so it has a realy old look to it

[@netyr4554]

I charred mine with a blowtorch after scraping. Pisses me off that tool makers keep putting nasty paint or varnish on tool handles.

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

@@netyr4554 thx for watching! Yeah that varnish on the Mora Classic's handle can be dangerous.

[@dimitrivos7088]

Netyr never agreed with someone as much as with you

[@BigGriffDog427]

Hi I found your shepherd sling video really interesting, I wondered if you could make a follow up showing where you are at now and give us beginners some tips on the whole movement of how to throw . Much appreciated 👍👏👏

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Hey thanks for watching! Yeah I've been meaning to make a follow up slinging video. Right now we're under a lockdown so I've been hanging out at home for the last month.

[@norho8129]

About the Bahco 2444 (knife), it's actually 3/4 rat tail tang, so no worries about light battoning. Love the channel!

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks for the info!

[@fromtheease]

What is battoning? Newbie here trying to understand things..

[@norho8129]

@@fromtheease splitting straight wooden piece using knife and a mallet of some sort (usually wooden). It replaces the use of an axe or hatchet to some extent.

[@jtsmith8234]

Thank you sharing - appreciated your thoughts on the mora’s - respecting batoning/ and I had a mora accident as well.

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks for watching!

[@phillipmerritt1428]

Good Video

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Glad you enjoyed

[@jnewcell6952]

If you are having edge retention or chipping problems with your steel, there are plenty of other steel options available like CPM 3V and CPM Cruwear.

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks for watching! Yeah I definitely want to try out some super steel blades in the future. 1095 and 12C27 works reasonably well for most tasks but I need to put by blades under regular maintenance to maintain the razor sharp edges.

[@shaundevan1525]

Can you do a tutorial on how to get a razor edge?

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks for watching! Yeah I'll get around to a sharpening video one of these days! :)

[@shutupandy6110]

Btw, if u were wondering, the Bahco knife is a Mora Clipper. It’s a collab between the 2 companies.

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks I've wondered about that.

[@kaizoebara]

If you want to soak the hatchet in anything to make it tighter, use antifreeze. The glycol is hygroscopic, viz it'll attracht moisture, swelling the wood. Most of the time a rehang is the better option, though.

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mithrainvictus5777]

Awesome

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thx for watching!

[@AeetosOutdoors]

Just found your channel through the Bushcraft Facebook group we're both in. You've got a new subscriber in me! I have a little channel too, just starting out, mainly focusing on outdoorsing, hiking, backpacking and camping but I do have a passion for bushcraft so there may be some videos later down the line. Please take a look if you'd like.

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks for subbing! I'll check out your channel!

[@DragoonGlass]

Is that the hultafors hultan? I've been wanting it for ages man

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Yep it's a hultafors hatchet. It's pretty awesome!

[@bacotubby]

The Bahco is made by Mora

[@WannabeBushcrafter]

Thanks for watching yeah I was wondering about that since the knife looked very similar to the Mora.
