[@CAVEDATA]

Man i wish you were still making videos. Very good.

[@corvusduluth]

Kiitos Marcus, greetings from the "Finnish Triangle", NE Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, Upper Peninsula Michigan USA. Respect.

[@PMK7734]

Fantastic! I enjoy seeing the skills our ancestors used to help us get here. Its sad and unfortunate that we are forgetting them but I'm grateful for the few that keep these skills alive and available for we who also want to help keep them alive. Thank you.

Cool to see those old "Maasepän puukko" style pukkos on KZbin. And also to learn more about birch bark sheaths! Cool video !

Hello Marcus, Its a real treat to see these older skills. I am based in the UK, I grow up on a farm in the late fifties and by the seventies most if not all of the field skills had been replaced by machines. Interesting, there is a growing passion to restore them or at lest hold on to the ones we can find. In the mind seventies, I went to Canada three times, living for a short time in the Boreal Forest, with the Ojibwa and Cree. These people have held on to their forest skills. I feel there's a great need to try and keep some of these techniques alive. Take care and enjoy what you have.

Farming is the reason there are no forests compared to the pre farming days. That's why lots of skills, flora and fauna, plus culture, plus native people....... have dwindled if not totally gone. Things aren't as they should be.

Excellent craftmanship! Excellent video. Kiitos Marcus.

[@uncletoad1779]

Just now found your page and I wish you were still doing videos as the knowledge you share with us is priceless!

[@redchevy1957]

Thx for sharing a true classic

[@calvinmondrago7397]

Outstanding! I see some excellent Sami bows in your videos, when you do some bow vids?

[@philips9042]

This so nice to watch. I am very happy to see that Nordic traditions and especially craftsmanship is preserved. Please do more videos.

[@starrwhite9483]

This is excellent! thank you for sharing this.

[@maskenborje2400]

Grymma videos! Jag lär mig så mycket från dina filmer och blir väldigt inspirerad också! Jag hoppas du gör fler! :)

[@Mrlloydcr]

Hi Marcus, where have you disappeared, I often go to review your old videos and wait for new ones to appear. Maybe you have a Facebook or Instagram account or somewhere else where you share your knowledge?

[@ms9404]

The music at the was beautiful! Where can I find more of it?

[@harddafarm]

Love the history behind these!! Thanks for sharing!

[@Fixmychicken]

I enjoy the skills your sharing with us

[@cnawan]

I'm following along with thin corrugated cardboard from a box of wine, cut so the corrugations approximate the grain of bark. It makes a serviceable sheath, but I doubt it would be as durable as birch bark

[@44szaman]

HEJ! ZNAKOMITE! EXCELLANCE! SUPER! thanks!

[@TingTingalingy]

This video was really great and informative

[@nickmiller3796]

[@JamesParus]

Hieno on. I have to try this one day.

[@GoFirstChannel]

Absolutly amazing... Great work Marcus. Greetings from Poland.

[@Jeerree]

This is amazing Marcus. I know what I'll do for my next sheath! Good work!

[@Jeerree]

Helt rätt. Jag vill lära mig så mycket som möjligt och du gör det riktigt pedagogiskt och bra.

[@Jeerree]

Kul! Hittade några saker du skrivit också, om pilbågar - Ska bli intressant att läsa! Vigu känner jag till, jag gick Outdoor Academy i Kronoby för något år sedan.

[@Sheepdog1314]

excellent...thank you

[@woodlandsnorth]

Very nicely done!

[@den_bosmens_outdoor]

Just came across this video! I really enjoyed watching it! How did you finish the bottom of the sheath? The music was beautiful also! I love it!

[@nothinglikewood]

enjoyed the video. thanks

[@ИванМетько]

Не слова не понял, но принцип понятен. Спасибо за видео

[@a.j.4338]

hieno, i really liked that Thank you for showing

[@albertgauche9271]

Can you recommend a good book on how to do the different weaving patterns for this knife sheath?

[@ramonrodriguez5728]

Wow, that's nice. I like it.

[@ralfhaggstrom9862]

" SKÄRI " is still used in/ near archipelago, Finland .............

[@kellysams916]

Will wetting the bark soften it during the braiding process as with rawhide? It may make the process of braiding easier. With rawhide we work it while wet, let it dry then add a “dressing” (could be oil based) that gives it a suppleness and prevents water absorbing to a degree. Nice work.

[@ZyonSigil]

Yes it'll make it a little more flexible

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

Thanks for doing this video. I am going to try this but using strips of leather instead of bark (not a lot of available birch around here!)

[@redcanoe14]

Good work Marcus, I have not seen this style of weaving before. I have one leuku with a plaited/ braided sheath. This one you demonstrated appears more difficult. Can the bark be soaked before weaving?

[@zdrahar8977]

Красота! Молодец!

[@ivan55599]

I wished to see how to sew the tail end of that sheath...

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

I think something got lost in the narrative but the end product is amazing keep the vids coming - ATB

[@laurentiufratila6847]

So, the wood sheath part is just one side?

[@kennyfuller9775]

Very Kool!

[@robduncan599]

Epic job

[@bomaite1]

Doesn't it help if you soak it in warm water?

[@verysurvival]

Great

[@wildknife1025]

моё тебе уважение мужик

[@mlepola1]

Спасибо за комплимент.

[@mattlong1100]

I love it

[@bluesummers5051]

Can you please tell me the name of the song at the very start?

[@Rotfuchs]

Bluesummers I'm interested in the name of the song too.

[@loganjones5766]

Now to let it age for 100 years so it can have the nice antique finish to it.

[@ANXIETOR]

Clear as mud.
