Welcome To Survival-Russia. One of the very best Outdoors and Survival related communities on KZbin, and yes, It's a pretty good Channel too.
My name is Lars. I'm From Denmark but I live in Rural Russia now. I live at a Homestead in wild nature surrounded by a huge forest.
On The Survival-Russia channel we do all things related to the Outdoors Lifestyle. I share my thoughts and experiences on Survival Techniques for the woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere. the Reality of Survival. I share Techniques and ways of the Siberian Tribesmen and the Russian Longhunters of the older days. Things not shown outside of Russia very much.
On this Channel we also do Off-Road driving, Vehicle builds, Metal Detecting, all things Outdoors basically. Enjoy!

As a kid growing up in the early eighties we all wanted the Rambo survival knife. We couldn't afford the good one so we all got the cheap ones made in Hong-Kong with the plastic compass and the worthless wire saw and accessories. Fortunately it wasn't terribly sharp so I still have all my fingers!

[@georgemcmillan9172]

I know exactly what you are talking about! I had a couple of them back in the day, and shamefuly I currently own one today that I found at an estate sale about 20 years ago for $1.00, in the original box in mint condition! Pleather sheath, sharpening stone and all! I bought it just because. It sits in the safe with my Hibben Rambo knives. It's a reminder of days gone by...

[@georgemcmillan9172]

@Feldgrau Fox, growing up in rural Northeast Ohio, I spent alot of time in the woods and camping. Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, joined the Army at 17. Moved to Florida after the Army, met my wife who also loved camping. For 15 years, we went to a local spring to camp with all of the nieces and nephews along with my children and friends. I always took one of my "Rambo" knives on every trip. One of my nephews spotted the crappy knife, and tried to get it from me for a long time! After a spinal injury curtailed my camping, the kids all still go to the same springs, the same two weekends every year. We created an institution! My nephew finaly gave up and has his own spectacular knife collection, including an 80s crappy knife he found on ebay...

Yep. I had that same crap. Tried to cut a small sapling down with it to start a fire, couldn't even cut it. I think it came with a couple of matches inside it and that wire saw, a fish hook and fishing line. Edit: forgot it also had the pleather sheath, and the wetstone that had its own carrier on the sheath.

I have a US Air Force Pilot's survival knife that I got as a Boy Scout in 1964. It's a Camillus made of blued 1095 with a stacked leather handle. Pretty much a classic Ka-Bar except for the serrated back. Not good for slicing (too thick) but pretty much can do everything else. I suspect it'll outlive my grandsons. Even the leather sheath is still in good shape, despite (or maybe because of?) an accidental weeks-long soak due to a broken can of motor oil.

Good Evening Lars .. A nice looking knife Unfortunately, as a Pensioner, beyond my Pay Grade. A good idea being able to buy Sheaths separately. One could then, if required, set up some configurations on various kits .. reducing the need to continually switch the one sheath around. Yep .. the Dutch 'Hooligans' 😁 .. they sure know how to beat the living XYZ out of a knife. Sometimes my toes curl 😱 at the abuse they dish out to the hapless blades. However, looking past their fooling around, some serious testing takes place on their channel 👍. 'Rubber Bullets'. One should reserve judgement and negative comment thereon until .. one has been on the receiving end of such item .. or .. at the very least, actually witnessed the effect they have when 'used in anger'. Take care ..

The best knife is one you can resharpen

[@greekveteran2715]

If you mount a ceramic rod on it's sheath, you can sharpen any knife, where ever you may be.

[@joseywales3789]

@james Gasper, I disagree, and I'll explain why. In my opinion the best Knife is one that keeps it's edge in the first place. A knife that will be ready to use when you need it. A knife that won't be a hindrance to carry. I usually touch up my knife blade in an evening once I've used my knife during the day and then the last thing that I usually do with my knife is produce some feather sticks to light my fire and a few more for the morning, just in case my fire goes out during the night. This proves to me how sharp my knife is and if I need to use my DMT cards or my ceramic stone. A knife is a tool, just like a saw and the idea of re-sharpening a saw in the bush is not practical.

[@brushbum7508]

Looks like a pretty nice Knife Lars. TAKE CARE..

[@mykofreder1682]

Coatings (ceramic/tungsten) give you the factory tool for the longest time, which is good and great if you don't use the tool a lot. For a camping knife that would be good for me since I do not use them too much. For a tool I use a lot like a tungsten coated drill, it gets dull and you sharpen it and you sharpen the steel under the coating. For drill I found the steel of a coated drill does not resharpen as well as drills without coating, I suspect it is because of the sharpening quality of the steels.

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

A great common sense knife review...no screaming, hammering or destruction testing. Survival Russia...a common sense approach to bushcraft. Thank you.

I love Mora knives, By far the most comfortable and affordable knives I own and the most easy to sharpen (for me anywats). I also own a cudeman MT-5 which is also a great kife that comes with a great sheath that you can carry regurarly or as a cross sheath. If for some reason I think I need a full Tang knife and I won't mind the weight I'll take it over accouple of Moras. I love the Bushcraft and survival Moras BTW.

[@General_Confusion]

For me it would be, could you justify that one knife over four Kansbol's for the same price? Every video we see you with the Kansbol Lars, so it must be at least good enough for what you need. A bit like the Silky 1000. Nice to have one but do you need it.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Lars, I own a couple of Fallkniven knives including the S1 forest knife (slightly bigger than the F1). They are great "survival" knives as they are very durable BUT they are not great at normal tasks in the forest or hunting, fishing IMHO. I much prefer the finer edge of a scandi grind and a thinner blade, its just better for cutting wood etc. The Benchmade Puukko is worth a look if you are bored with the Mora 😉 Best wishes Michael 🇨🇦

How can I get a set of plan and forms for the dome home?

[@tinkmarshino]

I am sooooo jealous!! I wish my property backed up to some BLM land or some forest I could go hiking in.. Although I am to old and unsteady to hike far, but even just a half mile in where it is quiet and serene. A half mile would take me about 3 hours at my rate.. But still it would be well worth it.. I have carried a knife since I was 8 years old and my uncle told me that any man worth his salt has a knife it is the ultimate tool for many occasions.. The pocket knife I have now is a benchmade osborne design M390 steel. The blade is just over 3 1/2 inches (8.89 cm) and the handle is about 5 inches (12.7 cm). Straight blade no serrations (I am not a big fan of serrated knife blades).. It was a fathers day gift I guess it cost around the 200 -250 price range.. It is a real nice blade I have had this one for about 4 or 5 years now and like it a lot.. I do not think I would have spent that kind of money for a pocket knife for myself.. But this one stands up to the use and abuse and looks as if I just got it still.. and it keeps a good edge for me.. Well good luck on your new home.. I look forward to seeing the progress.. carry on, be safe and keep having fun!

[@GAUROCH2]

Though I don't own one, I don't like Falknniven! If I needed a really beefy knife for very tough tasks I would prefer my little Extrema Ratio Schrapnell (or a bigger model)! But, in normal situations, I just can't be without my russian 3 inch puuko made by an obscure blacksmith... that blade is magic... I feel that we were made for each other, how it feels in the hand, how it performs cutting... it's justa awesome! I don't say it's the best, just the best for me!
