Bushcraft Tools You Haven't Heard of Yet

[@weirdmusicmixmaster]

These seem really fun for project making instead of strictly survival. Definitely interested in the saw to try in a small kit/backup.

[@grimgranite]

The saw is stellar for a small kit, for sure!

[@Strateegee24]

Definitely going to be checking them out. Thanks for making some fresh content.

[@grimgranite]

Thanks for the support!

[@BackpackingandBlisters]

Love the production quality of your videos! You really know your stuff Gordon!

[@grimgranite]

Thanks so much, Carl! Means a lot coming from you!

Ok the first knife looks beautiful And the saw has an awesome design.

[@grimgranite]

I agree! I’m a big fan of their design work in these.

​@@grimgranite Follow up after some use and let us know how they hold up?

[@caseymauldin8396]

Thank you for making this. I’ve never heard of this brand. I certainly wouldn’t mind brand spotlights in the future!

I've used Olfa knives all throughout my sign making years. Really didn't know they made others,, but that tracks with Japanese companies. Their companies tend to make something of everything related.

[@grimgranite]

That’s great to hear you’ve had a positive experience with their other tools!

[@silentstryker1590]

They look nice

[@wrbsloat]

As someone who has used olfa utility knives my whole life i really want the olfa knife saw to have a replacement blade thats just a giant utility knife razor.. just because it would be funny to hand to someone who asks you to use their olfa knife.

[@eric_hanson]

Ooooh those are slick! Clicking…buttons… now

[@grimgranite]

Slick, indeed my friend! The saw is especially friendly for stashing in a backpack.

[@mikebrown7649]

Oh wow I have to get that saw! Thanks for the information and link. I honestly have never heard of these before.

[@grimgranite]

The saw is awesome, I love it. You are welcome and thanks for being here!

[@brunorojas3992]

Olfa has been is the US for years. The utility blade looks the same as there other balck and yellow ones. Just different color. That said olfa is great quality.

[@grimgranite]

Yeah they make good stuff and it’s cool to see their new line, the bushcraft tools, introduced to the US.

[@sethswanson9839]

When batonning with a smaller knife like the first one, baton the knife 2in in to the wood then turn the wood over so the knife is braced against your base then baton the log. It is a much larger striking area.

[@grimgranite]

This is a great tip, thanks for sharing.

[@jinxjones5497]

I like the replaceable saw blades. I wonder if they do say a hacksaw or different tooth spacing ones. Is the utility knife blade replaceable? I'm happy with my bahco and i have an Opinel folding saw too but you never know, i may have a few knife redundancies 🙄😁 maybe i need another saw that isnt a Silky

[@joewinfree9814]

Might have to check out that saw! See if I can ditch my corona

[@romeras600]

I heard Japan & I know it's a go

[@jjpellergene466]

we need a mora comparo vid...

[@grimgranite]

That would be fun! Great idea!

[@Tscharlieh]

Too bad you didn‘t show the performance of the saw with bigger branches…

[@grimgranite]

It’s really intended for detailed cuts through 3” or less stock. Everything has its limits, right? In general, you aren’t going to tackle stock that is greater in diameter than about 3/4 the length of the blade of the saw. This would be great for stocking a biofuel stove, small wood stove, or Bushcrafting tasks like cutting notches, etc.
