Thanks for this Dave, I really enjoy watching your Mora videos. I'm just starting to use them and very happy so far.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Jeffery Sullivan Thank you for the kind words, Jeffery, and I am glad you are enjoying them! I am glad to hear it! I love Mora knives! -Dave

[@SUFFICIENTSURVIVAL]

Nice set of blades, the Companion was my first too! And i love it as well!!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

SUFFICIENT SURVIVAL Thank you, sir! The Companion is such a great knife! -Dave

[@OutandAboutWest]

Who would have guessed: MORA'S!!! Well done, Dave. I especially love the way you show true appreciation for your Mora's by going to the trouble of getting Gorgeous sheaths for them. Kudos, mate! -Bas

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Out and About West Thank you, Bas! My Moras do so much for me, the least I can do is give them a nice sheath to live in..lol! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment, my friend! It's great to hear from you! -Dave

[@DeEagle]

Great VR my friend. Great Knives. You always do great videos my friend. Keep up the good work.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

De Eagle Thank you for taking with time to watch and leave your very nice comment, my friend! I appreciate the very kind, encouraging words! It's great to hear from you, sir! -Dave

[@massachusettsprepper]

Three very nice knives my friend, thanks for sharing.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Massachusetts Prepper Thank you for watching, my friend! Great to hear from you! I appreciate you taking the time to leave your nice comment! -Dave

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Very nice job... very nice! You used common sense in your choices and modifications. It is refreshing to hear from someone who understands "knives" without the silly notion of high cost is needed for high quality. I really enjoyed this and will check out more vids.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+cyclist01222 Thank you for such kind words, my friend! I really appreciate that! Being that I have a family and kids and ex-wives to feed (LOL), the last thing any of them want to hear is that I spent serious money on ANYTHING to do with going into the woods. I am as common-man as they come so I have spent most of my life making due with what I have and what I can afford. That being said, these knives are examples of very high value for very little money! Thank you for recognizing that! I appreciate your support, my much and hope you enjoy the videos! When it comes to youtube and making videos, I believe in being myself, being honest and being nice! -Dave

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

HighCarbonSteel Love Ha, It's good to have a life and responsibilities... to a point I guess lol. Yeah, I got the 6th grandkid on the way so I hear ya. Keep up the good work...subscribed.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+cyclist01222 You seem too young to have your 6th grandkid on the way, my friend! I appreciate the sub! You have a nice channel and I subbed you back. I checked out your 5 in 1 orange survival tool. I love that thing. To be honest, my favorite item in that tool is the mirror! I have been able to look at a few eye and face scratches thanks to that thing! -Dave

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

HighCarbonSteel Love I got a really early start on the kids and my daughter was a fast starter also lol. My channel is in hibernation but I hope to wake it up soon after some things settle.

[@SmellNRoses]

Nice knives...when I saw the video title, I knew there would be a bunch of moras on display. Great video as always!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Smell N Roses Thanks, Rashid, I really appreciate that! Am I really that predictable? LOL! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment, my friend! I hope everything is going well for you and your son! -Dave

[@SpartanJohns]

I can relate to everything you said about teh Condor knife...I had the same problems with mine... As for your Mora picks...yeah...the Companion is probably the most practical model...rubber handle and a nice blade. I had the Classic No2 and liked it. Now you are really making my mind up about getting a Classic No1. I think I would like it more as well... Thansk for making the video. I enjoyed it Have a great day!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

SpartanJohns You know, Denis, I really want to love Condor knives. They have very nice designs. I use them over and over and over just to make sure it's not me, but the 1075 steel just doesn't do it for me. I have been using my bushlore lately, because I want to believe (lol), but the edges of the Condors are kind of funny. My Woodlaw doesn't take, nor hold an edge as well as I like and my bushlore has had micro chipping problems in the past. I've cleaned them both up and am going to give them another run. I like the designs and the way they feel in the hand so much. From your videos that I have watched about your Mora classic 2 and what you have said about it, I really think you would like the Classic No1 very, very much! The smaller size makes all the difference in the world! I did not think I would like it better, but I haven't used my No2 since getting the No1. It's just that much more easy to control with the smaller handle and the smaller blade actually makes fine carving an absolute pleasure! Thank you for the tag, my good friend! It was good to think about this tag and take a mental inventory of my knives to come up with exactly what I like best and why. I am glad you enjoyed it, Denis! I hope to talk with you again soon and I hope everything is going well! Looks like your hand is coming around nicely! -Dave

[@themiwoodsman7222]

Great choices Dave , nice knives ! i like my moras and condor as well ! atb john

[@Forestwalker111]

Very great knives brother! It was nice to hear your reasons and that I'm not alone in choosing sentimentality as a reason for picking a knife.:) Really enjoyed this video bro Be well Craig

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Forestwalker111 Thank you for the kind words, Craig! I really appreciate it! Sentimental reasons are the best! It gives us all a strong connection to things we hold dear.

[@Bruce_S]

Hey Dave, I hear ya about the first fixed blade love. I just had folders for years, my fav being an Eka Swede 8. I've only recently gotten more interested in bushcraft and bought a £6 Hultafors Heavy Duty or GrovKniv, I believe it's called, just to try out. Not the most attractive knife, but it has a good carbon steel blade and comfortable handle. It comres with a scandi grind with a secondary bevel, which I've removed and further refined the edge, and squared off the unfinished spine like you showed us. I use this knife daily, just whittling, making curls, shaping wood and cutting notches - just practicing and playing. I've grown to love this inexpensive knife, and have a few more mods in mind just to make it more mine. I'm finding it fun and satisfying learning to get the most out of this knife while improving my skills. Really appreciate your videos, Dave. - Bruce

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Sounds great, Bruce! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! Thank you for stopping by! -Dave

[@wyattoneable]

You make some good points about the knifes you love. While I'm not a bush crafter, when I use one of my Mora's I tend to grab the companion for the rubberized handle. It fits my hand better. But to each there own right? Nice job on the video!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

***** Thank you, my friend! I appreciate the kind words! I tend to reach for the Companion a lot, myself for the exact reasons you described. The blade is also the perfect size for most tasks. Not too long, nor too thick of a blade to be counter-productive for most given tasks. Which Mora's do you have, brother? How is work going? The road isn't beating you up too bad, is it? -Dave

[@wyattoneable]

HighCarbonSteel Love I have only 3 Mora's. The classic one or two (I can't remember) the Companion and the bush craft black. I like that one a lot too. I just started my week yesterday and so far it's been easy days. I'm currently sitting in in Omaha waiting to take some folks to Minnesota. I get to your area on occasion so if your not far from the airport I'd love to visit over a cup of coffee.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

***** Sounds great, my friend! Thanks for the update! -Dave

[@saradreaming]

Wonderful discussion my friend. Love to hear which toys your currently liking the most. Love your modded classic too. It never occurred to me to put a lanyard hole in mine. I guarantee that will change real soon. I have a feeling the right little bobbly lanyard will balance it out better. I never cared that the classics were a bit blade heavy and would fall out of my hand when I opened it.. Know what I mean? Anyways, always a pleasure to hear from you and I hope that you have a wonderful weekend..

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

saradreaming Thank you, Sara! It's so nice to hear from you! I actually got the idea of the Mora 2 mods from you, way back when! You are exactly right! The lanyard actually does a nice job in balancing out the knife. I know exactly what you mean, which is another reason why I like the Classic 1 a bit better. It's always an absolute pleasuring hearing from you, too, Sara and I hope your weekend is going well! BTW, I love your pic! -Dave

[@BushOgre]

Good old Mora knives. Words I've never uttered..."Crap, it's a Mora" Ha ha ha Love those blades.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Jonathan Zook I love them, too! I have never heard those specific words, however, there are a fair number of people who do not like Moras at all. Oh well, to each their own..hahaha! Nice to hear from you, brother! -Dave

[@13bravoredleg18]

My Mora Companion go's with me when I metal detect. It has dug up a lot of civil war relics!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Philip Lobrano I love the Mora Companion, so much! The first bushcraft knife I ever owned and loved! The civil war relics sound really nice! Thank you for watching and leaving your awesome comment! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, I can't express how glad I am for the way my Mora Classic #1 attached to my Bokor Rold Sheath. My Rold is a very sharp Flat Grind and of course the Classic #1 is a Scandi Grind, Both knives work wood great and tge Rold is very robust and stronger. I also got my Benchmade Arvensis 119 and defenetly its a keeper, It will give my A-1 a rest and I did get it as a wet and snowy weather knife. Laterz, Go Tribe.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Sounds great, my friend! -Dave

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

[@joshuahmoran]

HighCarbonSteel Love:)

[@jelkel25]

This vid is on my page all the time but yt never seems to put your new stuff up there! The thumbnail reminds me if you use Mora's a lot there comes a day when you have to change the sheaths, they start to bug you for some reason, maybe just a little too much plasticiness in the long term!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Hmm, thats interesting, my friend. I am never sure how youtube works...haha! I actually like the Mora sheaths, however, at one time I used them so much that I wanted a sheath that was a bit less 'neutral' and more pleasurable to use, so I had leather and kydex. However, I do think in the long term, the factory sheaths are just fine. Thank you for taking the time to stop by! It's very nice to hear from you! -Dave

[@eli_cm]

i like the mods you did to your morals keep up the good work

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Eli McKinney Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, Eli! One of the many things I love about Mora knives is their ability to be modified. I appreciate the kind, encouraging words, my friend! -Dave

[@eli_cm]

yes sir i have a mora light my fire and i took the plastic sheets and replaced it with leather and took the handle and had someone machine grooves into it and it works great, your welcome for the comment good job

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Eli McKinney Thank you, Eli! I am willing to bet that the outstanding Mora Light My Fire looks beautiful in a leather sheath! Sounds great! Nice talking with you, brother! -Dave

[@eli_cm]

yes sir,it was great talking with you too

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, You made me very happy you appreciated of my knives I designed. That was very important you liked them. Thanx You., Dave.,,. p

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for stopping by! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

HighCarbonSteel Love Seriously Dave, I got lucky with the handle. I told them I wanted the flared pommel but when they took the high peak off tge pommel to put tge slight curve on my Modde Attitude, They made the handle every bit as comfortable as my Buddies Spyderco Bushcraft Knife, plus I could apply equal pressure on all my fingers when I grip it tight with absolutely no hot spots but a firm grip. Also my hand locks in when I lite chop. Outstanding. I'm as Happy as a Lark with my Modde Attitude. But also with my Outstanding matching Modde Mad Hatter Machete. A Awesome Combo. I don't try to Bragg, But just to share with you. I hope you understand. It's hard to show emotions texting. But I'm serious I'm not bragging.,,.p

[@coyote238]

I think we all know there was gonna be some Moras in the choices , and as for myself a Mora fits in my top three . Good choices .

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

coyote238 Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment, my friend! It's great to hear from you! When it comes to knives, I think I am pretty predictable...lol! -Dave

[@coyote238]

You just know what you like & works ,Predictable or just sharing your wisdom ? LOL .

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, Other than not being able to strike a ferro rod as good as the 1095, Do you notice any edge retention between the two ? Thanx in advance, Sorry about the misspell on except and accept, I accept your opinion more.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

The steel present no problem with a ferro rod, it's striking a piece of flint that 1075 has limitations with. Good question - I have noticed that 1075 does dull quicker and chips and dings much easier, however, being that they are very easy to sharpen, those "problems" are easy to repair. -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Thank You for your reply, I thought so. Infact I bought the Condor Golok, The design is very poor, Alot of metal and then a small bevel, create alot of wood drag when I baton it. But then in cold weather on hard wood, It Rolled Grrrrrrrr, This is a area of interest for me. I really like the edge retention of the 3V. But it's too hard of a steel to sharpen, especially in the bush, and forget it in a survival situation. But so far my vote is with the Busse INFI, hard enough to hold a great edge, Stain resistant and easier to sharpen. Infact on some Afternoon Delights I like a O1, it does borderline my criteria. Again Thanx a Google, Dave.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, If you go to Google + (plus) search Paulie 4x the White Handle is a modified Battle Horse Attitude you can see how it comes at Battle Horse. I specifically bought it to team up with my Smaller (10 X 7m/m) M-43 Himalayan Imports White Handle Khukuris, I would use this 2Knife carry when I Scout a Area Out and I usually wouldn't take another chopper but I would assume a Folding Saw, My go to is my Wicked Tough Saw or I could take my 10" Corona or Laplander. A canteen and a Necessities Pouch, on my Military Pistol Belt. I would also have a Haversack for my other C's. But when the Brambles get really thick, I like adding a Long Knife EI. Rodent Rucki or my Ka-Bar Johnson Adventure Parangatang. Then I could carry my Potbelly as a One Tool Option with my Top's Mini Scandi 2.5 as my neck knife. It all depends. I call that Grandma's friend heh heh heh

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

paulie 4x Nice, will check it out. -Dave

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

[@paulie4x1]

What I like to do on a broomstick handle sgape, I simply flatten the side. You would be surprise how much more control the knife is just by slightly (to preference) flattening the idea of a round handle. I did that with my Blind Horse Bushcrafter which turned out perfect and I wear a large glove, But now it look's like a more expensive Kephart, Oh I also had it polished. And now I just flatten them and I have alot more cintrol.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

[@rainbowhiker]

I enjoyed the descriptions of these knives, their qualities and why you like them. One reason I bought my Morakniv knife from B' which I'm told will arrive this next Tuesday, probably :o) Thanks for your helpful incites. // On another subject, can I ask if you've ever tried an imitation or genuine 'Tracker' knife? I've stumbled across several videos on them and they look quite different but supposedly, they do a lot of different kinds of tasks, but none as well as a specialized knife for a said specific purpose. It's said that they eliminate other kinds of tools and is a WSK for those that want just one tool for outdoors. If you have a friend that has a full size one, the 11 7/8" version, or a imitation 12" version, I'd love to see a review of it from you. Your take on this quite controversial tool. Just an idea. Thank you for this video.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching, my friend! I have never really had an interest in the Tracker knife, personally. I know some people love them but I like a classic knife for knife work and I prefer to carry my axe in combination. I have never had any issues. The only bigger knife I have is an Ontario Kukri, which is excellent, but was purchased for a specific purpose. Hope this helps! -Dave

[@rainbowhiker]

Sure does, Dave. It's just a curiosity for me. Big heavy knives have never interested me, particularly either, through the years. But, as I think I mentioned, I did buy a big cheap knife off of ebay with some of those Tracker styling features. I'm going to play with it but already thinking how I can change it from the mass marketed military monstrosity that it is, to something that can actually be used outdoors instead of sitting on someone's mancave wall. Hopefully, I'll get the answers as I alter it's shape and cut off some of the military gobblygook on it. Probably do some videos as I get and change it, over time. Thanks for all your help. Glad you're getting outside.

[@cultivatingorganicbyjomig1719]

My oldest son (visiting from Puerto Rico) is enjoying the video. He wants me to let you know that he also collects knives. Because of his interest in the same things you do I suggested that he subscribe on your channel. He said he plans to soon as he and family gets back to PR. He actually resides in the tallest mountain of PR.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching, raul! No need to apologize, as your english is just fine, my friend! I love the Classic #1 and #2, as well. You are exactly right, there is something about the wooden handles that I also love. I have had many Classics over the years and a couple of them also came loose - all from my own doing, like batoning big pieces of wood..haha! Other than that, the handles have been perfect. Thank you for the great comment and nice talking with you! -Dave

concur with your opinion. great video

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Carlos Sepulveda Thank you for the kind words, Carlos! Very nice to hear from you, my friend! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Yes'Suree, Denis is a Great Guy, and your doing pretty good doing this video. I do have a few knives. I usually start practicing with the knife I plan using most (my neck knife) in the house and especially my kitchen on up coming trip's. I started practucing with Weidmannsheil Solengin, German Knife, It's Carbon with Stag Handle it's a Boat Belt Knife aka. Canadian Belt Knife anyhow mine has a slender eliptical blade with around a 3 1/2 cutting edge but from handle to tip it's around 4". The design has sort of a choil which I always liked a choil..I bought this knife from a guy on e-bay on seperate times I also bought from him a stainless steel very similar made by the same Weilmannsheil, but this is a slender clip point, the craft me ship is awesome the detail was carefully attended. It even has a area ground away where the thumb is place on one side of tge blade for side and upward use, awesome. But this knife has a integral blade with just slabs of stag pinned by two larger peaned brass pic's the design by the front of the handle and pommel are made out the same steel a very nice knife. It looks similar to a Mora that's why I only have a couple and their sort of vintage. I have a Frost Mora Clipper abd I think a Military issue Mora with a leather metal trimmed sgeath with a hand guard and a meral pommel on a Curly Birch Mora that has a Crown and a large "A" I think on the sgeath. Having other similar knives to Mora Knives I really didn't by any more Mora's. But just recently I pulled the trigger on a 510 and the Classic with the red wood handle in the 3 7/8" ? blade. Oh I also found a deal on the 2000 and the Hatchet a matching set. Buy the way, do you have any understanding what a Bron Steel is, Any INFO would be greatly appreciated. Thanx, and a Happy Easter.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+paulie 4x Thank you for watching and leaving your awesome comment, my friend! Lots of good information. Sounds like some very nice knives you have. I am not familiar with Bron steel. I hope you had a Happy Easter, as well! -Dave

Luck has found me again, I told you about the deal on a combo that included a Mora 2000 and a Mora Hatchet. Today I called to see if I could get the set in the Olive color. The guy said no because Mora sells the knives to them more expensive for the Olive color, But since I bought the Mora 510 at a great price and the Classic # 1 (3.8+") The break down is very close to the Olive color because at my price they don't charge shipment so fir just a few dollars more I was able to buy the Olive Mora 2000 with the Mora Hatchet in the Olive color and that's excactly what I wanted. God is Always Good and Good Always is God.

Are you under a bridge? Or on a sidewalk in New York?

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, I bet your new Benchmade Bushcrafter 162 will be one of your top 3 Fav's soon. ,, .

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Hasn't quite made my top 3 but I do love that knife! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Seriously Dave, for me, it's just the right size blade. ,, .

[@realsharpknives7988]

LOL You need to move closer to they highway. That way we couldn't understand a word you said.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Real Sharp Knives LOL..sorry about the noise. I live right next to the NYS thruway, so I try not to do videos in the yard too much, unless it's Christmas or Thanksgiving day, when the traffic is lite. Thanks for watching! -Dave

Nice video but the Classic Mora number 1 is made of laminated steel and does not have the red colored handle. Those Mora classic number 1's are still available but harder to get and will set you back about 100 dollar. Basically all the red wooden handled are number 2's and they do come in different sizes. A lot of people in the bushcraft world are referring to the shorter handled number 2's as a number 1 actually. The older number 2's have a rat tail tang that runs all the way through the handle and the newer ones have a shorter rat tail tang. They also don't use 1095 carbon steel but a carbon steel similar to it. I do like both of the carbon steels btw. The protruding full tang of the condor is also made for hitting the knife on the back driving the point into wood without risk of damaging the handle but they sure can get in the way with other bushcraft tasks. ;).

Thank you for watching! -Dave

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Ahhh...nothing like a knife review on the side of a BUSY freeway.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Yes, it is quite annoying but I don't do it too often and appreciate you watching! -Dave

[@stevanoutdoor]

I prefer Hultafors over Mora when it comes to budget bushcraft knives. They are even cheaper also.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Hultafors are excellent knives! I appreciate you stopping by! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

I'm not trying to be rude, or bragging, but in a honest way my three Fav's are my Busse Son of Badger, my INFI Ratmandu, and my Nuclear Meltdown Fussion Steel Heart, I have another Busse Set that's very hard for me to chose between but right now I picked these, but may change any minute, and also I have another set with my Swamp Rat Knives which I also love, my Rodent 4, Rodent 5, and Rodent 7, again I have a equal other set I love it too, then my Bark River's and my Becker's and O.K.C.'s. You know this is harder than I thought.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

paulie 4x I don't see your comment as rude or bragging, at all. Thank you for taking the time to watch, sub and comment! I subbed you back! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave. I got a reason to buy the Mora Kansbol and theEldris. I don't mind using my Mora 2000 that really matches very nice with my Fox Bishcraft Parang,Well the colors match to each other and actually compliment each other. But I forgot about the sleeper I have. I have a Vintage Mora First, I don't know the difference between the Companionand the Clipped, But the blade is sort of thicker. But the color also matches my Bushcraft Parang. Actually, Idont have to rush getting the Kansbol and Eldris, But I'm still going to get them along with the Garberg. But this what ever Clipped and or Companion with the thicker kind of blade, I bought it as a close out. Yeah, I think it might be a MG fromthings I read,Mine is definitely a carbinblade because that's what it says on the blade. It does look like yours, But mine isn't too robbery, Its sort of hard. Anyhow, If you can explain the difference between the Clipped and the Companionand MG means Military Grade right, Thanx.,,.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

I believe it stands for 'Military Green' and the Clipper is very similar to the Companion MG..different rubberized handles. -Dave

[@PolarisMyWay]

3:52 not a 1095 steel but C200 steel (but of course carbon ;-)

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+Frank Furt Interesting...I had always read that the Mora Classics are 1095. Thank you for watching! -Dave

[@acedecs]

how did I know there would be a mora in there or 2 or 3........

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

acedecs LOL! Am I really that transparent? Thank you for stopping by, my friend! Its great to hear from you! How is work going? Has it lightened up a bit to give you a break or is it still crazy? How is the Mora Robust doing? Hope to talk with you again soon, brother! -Dave

[@acedecs]

Things are still crazy Dave, but 5 weeks till my 3 week holiday, cant wait!! the Robust is holding up just fine im taking it out in the next couple of days. Did you have a look at the knifes on the link I sent?

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

acedecs Glad to hear you have your holiday coming up! Yes, I did check out some of the video. Nice stuff! Talk with you again soon, my friend! -Dave

[@SteveB357]

Buzz Feed asked what words bug you when people use them loosely. Hatchet is one of those four me. The difference between a hatchet and an axe has nothing to do with size. It has to do with configuration. A hatchet has a straight bit, often chisel ground; an axe has a curved bit, rarely chisel ground. A hatchet has a hammer like butt for driving or pulling nails; an axe has a flat butt (or another bit), and should never be used to hammer. A hatchet has a straight, hammer like handle; an axe handle is usually curved, with a fawn's foot on the bottom. Size just doesn't matter. It's configuration

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Steve Brettell Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Good information to know. I call this one a hatchet because Husqvarna named it the "Husqvarna Hachet". It does an excellent job, regardless of classification. -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Hi again Dave, I feel guys are embarrassed carrying more tools, even in your video you said, "I will carry my saw OR my hatchet", sure we practice to use natural things to survive, like roots for cordage, break logs against trees or knee's ouch making fire by rubbing two sticks together heh heh heh so we don't have to depend on our gear, I had to think about this, Every body knows the best survival knife is the knife that's on you, this statement I started to focus on, first of all I use to and still enjoy multi carry knives, 3knife carry and sometimes four, recently I've been practicing using a survival belt, on it I easily can carry a knife, a saw, and a hatchet, my ficus was compact and lightweight that punch like a heavyweight, and I think I found that, If I had a choice to pick a survival knife in a survival situation which knife would I pick ? usually a large knife comes to mind, so if I'm carrying my Rodent 7 and my Rodent 4 (for instance) I carry the larger of the two on person, that's my rule of thumb, I sort of got that from the Indigenous Saame People with their Leuku Knives as a 1knife carry, yes I stole that from them, and if the best survival knife is the knife that's on us, a large knife is the one I pick, sure I can carry my Bravo 1 instead and I've practiced with the Bravo 1 as my on person knife with good results, but I like the Bravo 1.5 better between the two in a survival situation, you get the picture, so then your saw the Bacho Laplander it's light and can be carried in your pocket, well I carry the Wicked Tough Saw in its sheath very light too but packs a punch, my hatchet I pick a light one that was very functional and picked my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet (my preference), and a pouch for carrying the basic survival needs (fire, first aid, compass) all the gear on my belt is comfortable and I can manage wearing all of them on person, the other C's I carry in a shoulder sling or my backpact, but I feel if I need to really survive when the S.H.T.F. doesn't having the right tools to beable to do that make better sence, that's why I practice and try out different combinations, that's why right now the gear I mention work for me, they are on my survival belt and on me most of the time, even in camp, but especially when I'm on the move regardless, I only take the belt off is when I think it's safe, and we know this time.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

paulie 4x Very well said, my friend! -Dave

[@yewtreeknives5834]

Hi Dave....verry bad audio!!!!!!! Traffic??????

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Sorry about that, Yves...some heavy traffic...haha! Thank you for watching, anyway! -Dave

[@toddgibson9861]

try a condor bushlore.....for $30 bucks you can beat it to death....same for the bushcraft 5"...

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Yes! I have several videos on the Bushlore! I like that knife a lot! Thank you for watching, Todd!

[@paulie4x1]

I really like videos like this one. I see guys show their Woodlore and they are prestine. You use yours, so I except your opinion much more. Dont get me wrong I alway's want a R M WoodLore, But I have this Weilmannsheil Elliptical Shape that's sort of slender with a total blade lenght of 4" That I know I can put it up against a Woodlore for carving any day. I can't find any info on my particular one. But when I first got it it had a hard sticker to take off that said Carbon. I have knives that I paid alot more for them, like my Rod Garcia Skookum Bush Tool which I love, or my John Bradley " World Finest Camp Knife" which he made me in a Ironwood Handle it's a Austempered piece of art, Simply TiT's, Beautiful. But like yiu, This Boat Knife of mine is a great neck knife. I don't use it that much anymore because I'm afraid of loosing it and not because it would break, Although I don't baton with it because you can tell it's a scalpel a knife and it's intended purpose is what I use it fir. But Style wise, It's a carver and slicer. I admire videos like this.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

+paulie 4x Thank you for the kind words! You own some very interesting knives, my friend! Thank you for sharing your information! -Dave

[@flex93312]

are you sitting next to a freeway? all I hear is cars and trucks passing.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

flex93312 Yes, my backyard is right next to the New York State thruway. It's nice to have an acre of land but not so nice that it neighbors the thruway. Sorry about the background noise, my friend! Thanks for watching! -Dave

[@Christiantodd1]

HighCarbonSteel Love That's a great collection of knives! I have been looking to get a Mora MG. I have to be honest though, the noise from the freeway really takes away from you talking in the video. I think you would've been better off doing this indoors.

[@douglasconrad8969]

Inside would be better than on a freeway? No?

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Yes, you are exactly right, douglas. Thank you for watching, anyway! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah, Talking about spark's, make your char wood instead of char cloth, Yeah the char wood last longer, and it's reusable. ,, .
