How do you not have a larger audience? You have such high-quality, informative videos. It's a damn shame.

[@smsgtbulldog]

Nicely done…I have quite a few of those different Mora’s and enjoy them. I think my Garberg is my all time favorite, with the Bushcraft Black in close proximity.

[@Seamemaria]

Never thought there was so much to know about knives. Very interesting!

[@UntamedScience]

Thanks Maria.

[@joyfullife2905]

Very appreciated for this video. You answered the questions I was wondering. Thanks for sharing!

[@Ve-suvius]

Don't underestimate the stick/narrow tang of the Mora Pro Robust and also Companion Heavy Duty. Joe X has some crazy video's on them. The Pro Robust is one of the few knives that didn't break during his destruction tests.

[@komradwide4660]

Great, next you should make a video on ways on how to use your bushcraft knife

[@marcelledbetter7296]

I'm officially a Morakniv fan now. Great vid.

[@daru6088]

Mora is best f... the rest😉🙂 When you cut a cigarette paper in half with 2 fingers, it is sharp enough. Only mora and opinel I have managed this with

[@corleyoutdoors2887]

Thanks for the beneficial and informative video.

[@thetheropodguy]

Fantastic and informative video, Rob!

Thanks Andy.

Love your video's man

Thanks Sadaq.

[@Iverath]

This is a very well-produced video.

[@sarahoman4050]

Good info. Thank!

[@Steve-ps6qw]

This is some really good stuff and confirms a lot I have learned and heard about. (I have the good fortune of working with some senior Air Force SERE NCOs that do this for a living.)

[@mushroomsoftheworld]

Great stuff. Super informative!

[@UntamedScience]

Much appreciated Jonas. Thanks buddy. Great to have you in as a cameo!

[@OptimusPrime12190]

WoW I never knew any of this and I collect knives and swords but I guess that's all i do bc I just realized that I never knew abt knifes until i watched this video. Excellent and very interesting!

[@richardburguillos3118]

Great intro to knives video! As I use to tell my Webelos Scouts... Remember it’s a Tool, NOT a Toy. Treat with respect, take care of it and it can help take care of of you when you need it.

[@UntamedScience]

Fantastic that you were doing that EDU! Kids can really do well with knives if given some proper instruction. Plus, I think giving them that responsibility is so valuable.

[@SOKA.]

I didn't even know there was different shapes of sharpening a knife ! I learned a lot today

[@UntamedScience]

Maybe in the future I'll do a video more about sharpening blades, etc.

[@Steve-ps6qw]

Hmm, growing up the Gerber knives were what as considered top line for hunting but that was back in the 80's and mostly limited to the circle of family and friends we had.

[@jackchn23]

Fire making part, you can use the sharp edge of the blade to scrape a spark off that fero rod in and emergency if you don’t have a sharp spine…

[@jimbrady2857]

Not a fan of the Scandi Grind, except of course for a survival knife that needs to keep its edge through a variety of knife tasks (and some hatchet tasks, too). By carefully adjusting your sharpening angles, the Hollow, Sabre, and Flat Grinds can produce some incredibly sharp edges...depending on the blade material, of course. As usual, great video. It was good to see Hazen and Jonas, too!

[@UntamedScience]

That makes sense coming from you Jim. :) Looking forward to seeing all your blades in the near future.

[@d0uble_O]

That Florida Gas Station Knife has a disposable blade, you know, to use as a shank 😂

[@taclineundersurvival]

styleyyy :D

I'm 43 and only now I realized how little I knew about knives

I thought the same making the video.

I recommend the APO 1 by Survival Lily 💜

Survival Lily is amazing. Great recommendation.

Love the Foley, is that hand made for the video? From a personal library or third party?

[@UntamedScience]

Almost always a library. 😉

And here I thought Sushi was the worst thing I could get at a Florida gas station.

[@UntamedScience]

Hah.

[@myrojyn]

What about WuTang?

[@albertboyles7637]

Damn I miss my knife. It was stolen last month.

[@tiagocidraes2390]

That's NOT Damascus steel, Damascus steel is crucible steel with impurities (namely vanadium) that lead to the NATURAL formation of those patterns WITHOUT the need to fold it. What you talk about in this video is PATTERN WELDED steel named like that because that how you get the patter, by welding different kinds of steel together and folding them repeatedly.

[@nathansimpson7493]

Haha he came camping with my ex gfs family crazy

[@indianvoiceover587]

Mora knives are not good, so stop spreading the hype
