By the way Felix, I always carry two small SAKs. I was negotiating a flight of locks by myself on the English canals, two days ago. The boat escaped me - taking off on a cruise of it's own between locks, with me on the bank. I thought I might have to get very wet. The boat drifted near to a bank, but not near enough to jump aboard. My Hiker SAK came to the rescue. I was able to cut a piece of hazel from a coppice stool & fashion it into an improvised boat hook. Then retrieve the bow line & pull the boat in. Without that wood saw, I would have been in trouble !

I recently received my Venture, I like it so far. The first video I watched was one where they were basically abusing it and comparing it to the mora garberg, an unsuitable comparison in my opinion. It is more comparable to the mora kansbol/2000 if I was to compare it to anything. The video I watched was pretty much seeing how much abuse it could take and calling it a fail when it suffered damage that the much beefier garberg shrugged off. My grandfather taught me to use your tools in the way they were designed, aka respect the tool and it won't fail you. I enjoy these videos, they're neat!

Hello, Felix! When I was a boy, we had pecan trees by our house. After school, my family would sit around a table, shelling and cleaning pecans. Back then, pecans were a cheap food (free if you have a pecan tree), but now that pecans are known as a “superfood,” they’re expensive. I still like them, though By the way, the pecan is the official state tree of Texas, my home state.

[@FelixImmler]

Great DIY Video Felix. Thank You

[@FelixImmler]

[@mutantthegreat7963]

I live in Allschwil at the Alsace border and indeed there are walnut trees in the field there. I also found out that the husk of the nut has an incredibly powerful dye in it. I was cutting them open with a knife and the juice ran over my hands and permanently marked them for 2 weeks.. could come in handy maybe lol

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for this interesting hint!

[@censusgary]

Walnut husks are, in fact a traditional dye, used since Medieval times or earlier. Natural plant dyes have been largely replaced by synthetic (aniline) dyes, but people interested in historic crafts still use walnut shells. They can yield a variety of browns and yellows, depending on the kind of mordant (fixative) used.

[@FelixImmler]

[@hectic6981]

From what I can gather, the female walnut flower doesn't have petals, but it does have bracts, the way the bracts close around the fruit(nut) is likely why it splits in 4.

[@FelixImmler]

This is super interesting... thank you!

[@rjiggy07]

@@FelixImmlerThe inerds are different. Like the husks, they don't split like yours. Almost best to do them like the squirrels do.

[@cellerfeller1474]

Another way to wedge the handle end is with a fox wedge - you don't drill all the way through - put a dry wedge in the end of the handle, tap in till tight. As the wood dries it gets tighter and tighter and tends to stay tight. I have a Butternut in my yard here in Nova Scotia but they are awful to try to open. Same technique as in France but they break into pieces and you have to dig the meat out of the hull bit by bit. To gather the nuts I use a special rolling cage tool that will pick up a 5 gallon bucket of nuts (or apples) in about a minute.

Growing up we had a few Black Walnut trees on our property, the were nearly impossible too crack and get the nut out. We sold them too the feed store who bought them for the big nut companies, for about $5 a gunnysack.

Thanks a lot for your interesting comment!

[@aroldorocha1795]

Great man! You're fantastic...

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you very much!

[@betoian]

Very nice idea! The explanation is also the science of gothic medieval cathedrals... You might ask how could such a huge weight be supported by such thin walls. And that explains why the borders of the nut can open it without making a hole when you knock it. The flying buttress or arc-bouttant are responsible in gothic churches of distributing great forces (weight or a strong knock) though all the building without cracking the walls. They make like bridges that take that force outside. This also happens with our bones, specially the head. When the force is too big, the whole structure splits. 😃 😁 In the nut, such a big knock, instead of making a hole, it distributes along all the structure until all collapse. 😀 There is a simpler way of opening nuts without any other tool than you expert hands... Just close your fist with 2 nuts inside it... I bet you could open them easily!😃

[@lizlanman47]

Oh, you could definitely press them for oil. Then you could use the leftover nut meal in delicious baked treats. But that sounds like you would need lots and lots of nuts. Good luck!

I think the 4 quarters are the 4 sepals of the flower that got pollinated and became the nut . I think the 4 fused together and became the outer shell of the nut. I do a bit of gardening. So it's just a theory.

[@FelixImmler]

Super interesting Theory... thank you!

[@williamdroom5789]

We peel a strip of bark off of a green branch like a belt to wrap around the nut giving us a handle so we don't hit our fingers with the mallet. You can make a permanent one with a strip of innertube.
