I like that knife a lot. The finish reminds me of a Gransfors Bruks or Wetterlings ax. It's strange that such a primitive looking blade has such a modern handle but as long as the rubber holds up it's a good thing. Good video crazy woodsmen. Mike
@fireandsteel97908 жыл бұрын
+Michael Quigley Hi Mike, Yeah the Northern/Scandinavian tools have a slight resemblance to them all. I think the rubber handle is ok, maybe change it for micarta but not wood in my opinion. Anyways this knife was our favourite in 2015. Snake

Yes indeed, the gator combo ll. I have abused it all winter building my shelter and I still use it to clear my path and cut small trees...I have sharpen it twice and it does keep it's edge pretty well. At first I was sceptical about the angle of the grind but now, I would not change it. I must admit I went against the manufacturer advice and chopped without taking out the saw and after about a hundred 3inch trees, the saw is still secure and sharp. The saw itself is a very welcomed tool with a strong back and is very sharp. If they make another model, I would like if the saw got a couple of inches longer. Anyhoo...For the price, this is the best ratio quality\price I saw in years! Thanks a lot guys for those bad ass (and very accurate) reviews!!! Phil.
@fireandsteel97909 жыл бұрын
Phil. J. Fantastic, Phil! The saw started to come out on mine, rarely, but it did peek out a couple of times, before I fastened it with a ranger band just to make sure. But as you said, it has held up like much priceyer axes. Now, it's rarely out of my backpack. Thanks for sharing your experiences Phil. Freddy

Vegetable tanning means the skin was treated with tannins extracted from vegetable materials like tree barks and acorns to turn the skin into preserved leather. Without some sort of preservation to the skin, it will rot from bacteria. There are other materials that will work for this that make the leather properties different, most common is chrome tanning. There are lesser known processes that have been and still are used like brain tanning and even more rare is urea tanning. These all make the leather feel different, stronger or softer, change the natural colors, etc.

Don't know if you know this, but Norway have this law called outdoor recreations act. Read more on it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outdoor_Recreations_Act. Basically what it means is, everyone have a right to use the nature, as long as it's not on the "inland" of the property owners. Just make sure you read up on the rules on use of campfires, and leave your campsites the way it was when you came, you are good to go. Freddy

I am not familiar with that type of steel. Can your research compare it to more commonly known types of carbon steels? Also, how is the edge retention? Did you have to sharpen it, often? Snake, that beard is coming along!
@fireandsteel97909 жыл бұрын
Steven Boyd I'm not very familiar with it myself, Steven, but from what I can gather, it's a level up from 5160 carbon steel. It seems to be used in a lot of different tools, so it's a versatile steel in that respect. Edge retention also seems to be quite good. Haven't needed to sharpen it yet, to be honest. It looks to me they've hit that magic balance between sharp and durability of the edge. I will be using it a lot more in the future though, so opinions may change. Freddy
@lino51679 жыл бұрын
Looks like an extremely functional chopper, but I can't help to think that the sheath belongs with some othe knife, not just the all black with brown, but the rubber on leather look kind of rubs me the wrong way. Kind of pizza and chocolate, great by themselves but a mess if paired with one another. Oh, but out of the sheath? An orc's EDC, badass all the way. Looks like it can chop it's way through The Wall in Game of Thrones.
@fireandsteel97909 жыл бұрын
Javier Dibilio I see where you're coming from Javier. I have no problems with the looks of the knife+sheath myself, but it's a personal preference as always. They do have the black leather sheath option or the molle version, which may suit your taste better. We did try it out on The Wall, it should air in the end of season 5. Freddy

Tomas Sandberg This is straight from Varustelekas Skrama-page: Skrama - as in Scramasax or Seax, a short, single edged sword popular in the Middle Ages. Much like the Scandinavian Leuku it doubles up as a tool and weapon. A fine name is always nice and the best ones are those with some history behind them - our 21st century Skrama would surely meet the demands of any Saxon man from "ye good olde days". Freddy
