I don´t believe that.... !

You know her too??

That´s funny. She has also some click bait videos where she changing clothes or wear just a kini

Unfortunately there is nothing to learn from her. Except a way how to RAPE a good Mora Garberg knife. A HORROR Movie for every knife lover

Gosh... Internet makes the world really small

Not exactly sure what you mean by this (and don't really wanna know! ), but I prefer something like this:

WOW!

It is so nice from you to buy such a TREASURE for my next birthday!!

I will do something like this with a Mora knife. I saw on the last bow and crossbow fair some guys who make real fancy wooden handles over and over inlaid with different colored woods.

I like the skandi-cut on the blade of yours! Will never buy again a knife without one. Easy to sharpen and perfect to use.

Did you have seen the one below? Would like to know how much he asked for them. Incredible outstanding works!

 

[Tom_Restorer]

Tom,

I tripped over her videos when she did some in Canada in the bush country. She's from Austria so I figured you'd know her almost a neighbor....lol.

I guess she's trying to see how tough the knives are even though they shouldn't be used the way she does.

She gets to have fun in nature and probably makes a pretty good living that way beats being tied down to a computer all week like most people of her generation.

Absolutely right! It is great what she is doing and there are not much woman out there who would do the same!
Also she don´t pretend to be the survival specialist. She is a kind of inspiration for other girls who watch her channel. It is to see on the comments. In fact we need more of her!

PS: I know that it was a knife test but anyway... that hurts . When I watched it, my facial impression was like when I sniffed a line of Habanero chili

 

[Tom_Restorer]

Btw, when we talk about survival and knifes.

Has anyone else made bad experiences with fire steels in the near of salt water ?
I always take a knife with me every year when we are on holiday on a Baltic isle and I never used the fire steel in it. Now I picked it out to show it a friend and it was almost crumbling...
I guess this corrosion comes from the salt water. I bought 3 of the knifes and the other are since approx 10 years in my home and shows no problems like the one I carry with me.

Could it be that fire steels don´t like to be in the near of salt water at all ?
The sea area where we go has approx 1.5% salt - so it is not real high.

Sorry, no. Saved that pic and many others from online.

I sorta fell in love with the Finnish Puukko knives while living there. The best (in my opinion) are the handmade ones -- much more 'feeling' put into the knives. I like the balance, the handles, the designs....the feel of these knives. There's another with a bit longer blade called Leuku knife, like this:




I'm hoping by next Winter to be set up so's I can try making a few here. Gotta get a shop put up first though.

Forgotten something KCM,

I prefer this knifes too, specially Damast blades but they are way too expensive and with such a beauty like you showed to us I would be afraid to use it and may damage or scratch it
I would also like to buy a Fellkniven F1 Pro instead of "cheap" Mora but unfortunately they are not allowed here because the length of the blade. You have to know that for germans it is only allowed to carry "toys" because you could seriously hurt someone who attacks you! This means with such a blade length you get directly impeached, the knife will be confiscated and you have to pay a lot of money as penalty + you are now previously convicted because "unauthorized" possession of illegal weapons! In the second case you go directly into prison (happens several times in the last 2 years when people has JUST defended them self). I am real jealous about your rights in the USA
We are happy that 4" blades are still allowed for us.
Let´s see how worse it will get in the next years.

I guess at least they allow us this: I don´t need a knife, I have pink cotton balls LOL

 

[kcm]

The only "sea" aropund me has two E's -- "see"

 

[kcm]

Well, unfortunately, you also have to be careful about carrying knives in the USA. While it may be "legal", just as with detecting, there's lotsa folks who'd just as soon call the cops and have you thrown under the jail for doing nothing wrong, then to RISK allowing someone the personalized freedom of carrying a knife. For me, knives have always been tools; NOT weapons! I see most firearms as tools as well. Funny....claw hammers kill more people per year than guns owned by "legal" and "normal" gun owners, yet hammers are OK. Same with bath tubs. Oh, and PLEASE never mention those OH!-so-evil automobiles!!


...Maybe it's cause most folks with hammers don't go wearing them to town?? ...Maybe I should start!

Who needs any kini girl pics when you posting such beauties?!
Looks so great!
I fell completely in love with this blade shape (below). Just 30 euros with a plastic grip, but for work I had never held a better one in my hands. And you can shave your "tactical" beard with it - no joke! Comes from factory ULTRA sharp.

 

[Tom_Restorer]

KCM,

do you know the "cult" knife from Opinel and how people pimp them ?

There was also a jananese guy who makes real fancy pieces but I can´t find the video...

This knifes costs approx 6 to 15 dollar. Razor sharp and to get in stainless or carbon versions. For daily use a real classic knife which is produced now in same way for more than 100 years.

so true LOL

I see them as tools in first case too! What are you doing in a worst case scenario complete without a knife?!
If I can just grab two things when the SHTF, it would be a water filter and a knife.

 

[kcm]

Opinel? Nope, never heard of it. However, that's a good thing, right? Now I've got more excuses to explain fresh drool on the keyboard!

OK We see us again January 2019 ! LOL

Thank you so much! I love to watch those videos!!

When I was Assy. Line Supervisor, I always carried my trusty Old Timer twin-blade folding knife. Would sharpen both blades at night, then use the knife to slice open boxes of parts the next day. When things got real busy, the cardboard would be a-flyin'!! This was back in the mid-80's. Funny how even then, many people just seemed afraid of knives. Seems folks would learn to trust the operator rather than the instrument.

In music, it's not the instrument, but the musician that counts.

In football, not the ball, but the players.

In construction, not the tools, but the craftsmen.

Stupid HUMANS!

Fresh drool??
After you posted this fancy knifes and the knife making videos, I simply covert my keyboard with a towel! So nothing can happen

kcm,

Opinel are a famous handmade knife from France. They'll set you back a few dollars for sure.

Folks,

AARC I'm sure is aware of the python problem in Florida heck they're even brought in a few hunters from India to help get things under control.

 

[kcm]

I prefer this knifes too, specially Damast blades but they are way too expensive

Did you by chance mean Damascus blades?? ...Or are they the same thing?

There are lots of videos on how to make your own Damascus blades. Doesn't require a lot of investment. Can use charcoal furnace with a blower to heat up the steel, then pound with hammer, then repeat....many times.

Takes practice though to learn how to properly temper the steel afterwards. That's gonna be my most difficult thing to learn. However, having welding experience will help with that.

This is the knife I used in my "early" life (as interior decorator) and carried it always on my belt. This is now forbidden too! You have to put it in a locked box until you are on the place you work! Is n´t it crazy?
Guess too many carpet layers and interior decorators or painters run amok in the last 100 years LOL
