Outstanding review Mark! I think I'll pick one up myself.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting

Thanks Mark for the review. Very beautiful knife, but unusual.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Great looking knife for sure. Thanks for commenting

[@thedriftingspore]

Very interesting knife. Thanks for sharing it Mark!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Most welcome. Thanks for commenting Steve

[@snosov]

Knives with such angled handle usually so comfortable

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

It does make a difference for sure. Thanks for commenting

[@Telefonziege]

Nice, Seax-Blade scaled down for Outdoor-Usage. Looks great :) Thanks for that detailed review

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Yes, I have a couple of much larger seax style blades but this is more versatile for its smaller size. Thanks for commenting

[@zoltanvonsomogyi7272]

Thanks for the great reveiw. Very interesting and unique design!

Hi Mark. I never thought I would be interested in knives, but they are growing on me courtesy of your reviews.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Be careful, two or three more reviews and there will be no turning back😅. Thanks for commenting

[@singingtoad]

I think this is a super awesome knife and I really like the design. 🤩👍 I've wanted to add a seax styled knife to my collection for a while now, perhaps it's time I did, eh? 🤔 Anyway, excellent video as always. Thanks for sharing, take care my friend and Cheers!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Everyone should have a seax in their collection😉 Thanks for commenting my friend

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Mark, I like it, though I'm not really sure why ; ). Maybe because I've never seen such a small seax design before, nor can I remember one with an angled handle. I do dig the scale pattern, a good 14C is fine by me and they sure didn't mess about with the sheath. To be honest; money no object, reckon I'd have one just because it's so unusual/interesting. Cheers Duke.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I think the looks are a large part of the attraction to this knife for sure. Thanks for commenting Duke

[@chriskp]

It looks really interesting, certainly unique. How would you rate it against the skrama 80 from varustaleka?

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Hard to say as it is much larger than the Skrama 80 but smaller than the Skrama 200.. I would love if there was a Skrama 120 as it would about this size. Thanks for commenting

[@chriskp]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft oh that would be really interesting

[@davewest5776]

Looks a great knife but in the UK we're not allowed to carry a knife that doesn't fold must not lock or have a blade of more than 3.5 inches

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Unfortunate. I was under the impression you could take a knife like this to the woods if you could show it was appropriate for the activities you would be doing there. Thanks for commenting

[@richardhenry1969]

I like to see different designs. The one problem I see nowadays is designs by people that don't actually do what they think their designs will be used for. Many designs are marketing and branding. But the knife itself is useless. This design though different is a very old well tested design. I believe you made the better choice with a full flat. I personally don't like my spine sharp. I carry more then one knife. I bet if they did a convex grind it would be amazing. Scandi is really a one trick pony in my opinion. It's still nice to see people don't something different.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

It is funny how Scandi grind knives have become synonymous with bushcraft but I feel a full flat grind or a sabre grind is more versatile. Thanks for commenting

[@auroraborealisknives4019]

A very unusual but interesting knife

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree. Thanks for commenting Alex

Hi Mark check out BPS MK1 SSH atb Bill

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Interesting little knife. I will see if I can get it. Thanks for commenting

[@MrAlexH1991]

Here’s my thing: I’m really not into overall knife profiles that are so aggressively forward-swept any more. I don’t know why EVERYONE seems to be going for that design all the time, but hey. To each their own, I guess. If anything I prefer a straight or slightly backswept profile, I just can’t find any knife maker/s that entertain that.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Can you give me a knife that most closely represents your thoughts? I will look around and see what I can come up with. I may be able to influence someone to make it. Thanks for commenting

[@MrAlexH1991]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft I shoulda phrased that better, that was my bad. Knives like the Mora Garberg/Kansbol are straight profile. So obviously, my Garberg fits the criteria. I’m just having trouble finding anyone who does a knife like the Mora in Magnacut. Or knives similar to the Mora- straight or with a slightly backswept handle.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

@@MrAlexH1991 Ahh, I have a better idea of what you mean. I may even have a few ideas as well. Are you looking for something in the same basic size range as the Garberg?

[@jimf1964]

It’s awful pretty. Love the scales and stone was and the over all design is cool, but that groove, and the way the handle somehow doesn’t follow that part of the blade that points down kinda hurts my eyes. So you’re saying this design of blade is basically to make it a better carver over a more conventional point? I’m very curious. Like if it’s a good design, then why is it so rare?

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Hi Jim. I don't know that it is a better carver than say a Mora Companion. It does have a fine tip which is good but very little belly which is not so good. I find I can carve well, or at least okay with it but the angle of the spine toward the tip can be a bit awkward for thumb placement. I think this knife is riding on the popularity of all things Viking. I like it but I have others I like more. Thanks for commenting

[@jimf1964]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft Yeah, it does look cool, and like something ancient. It’s a little like the skrama, but that makes sense because it’s a chopper. For anything else? It strikes me as a specialty tool or something. Still looks cool though.🙂
