we vote for Terävä Skrama ;)

So good to see you.... I was worried with the conflicts going on.... You have taught me so much survival these past few years and i rarely comment, as I don't talk much. I've been sick so I'm binging on your videos.... So Gtsy. 😊

Where did you find a black finish Silky nata? Regarding the sheath, I'll give you an explanation. Japanese knives typically come with a wooden sheath. The Silky is a modern interpretation of that . They're not meant to be tactical sheaths. A nata is a farming/forestry hand tool. I'm sure you could find a sheath maker to make a leather one that fits better or a kydex one to do the same. At the end they are two different tools. The skarma is the all rounder where as the nata is for chopping. For processing firewood, the silky wins hand down. for fire making the skarma is more useful but you could use the silky backward and pull against it. It's horses for courses.

Great video. Very useful information from your experience. Much appreciated.

I love how the branches just fell off. That was classic.

Like both. Thank you for sharing. Give Cairo much ❤ from me. Take care

I love BOTH of those! The Silky is sort of a kukri in the way the weight is forward, just without the curved blade. I have soooooo many….what’s two more, right?

Very simple and usefull! 👍

I like the TERÄVÄ SKRAMA

So the 2 other skrama broke at the edge? What did you hit with them? Thanks for sharing

Love your videos. Keep up the good work

Bout time someone said truth I seen the skrama thought it looked thin

What's that tattoo on your arm? Is it in Greek?

so why are you on your third skrama ...?

I have Gerber Versa fix. Blade length 23,5 cm. A good round chopper. Good to to cut out of wrist. And half circle cut. A little stabby. Weight 350 Gramm. The middle is two fingers before the handle. Thickness is 3 Millimeters. And throwable. Price around 40 to 50 Euro. Easy to sharpen. Holds the edge.🌬️

Zanimljivi alati u svakom slučaju. Iako sam fan svih "nordijskih" reznih alata, nekako me u ovom slučaju NATA više vuče, baš zbog te zakrivljenosti. Al teško suditi samo ovako vizualno. U svakom slučaju odličan video starac. Živio!

It should be noted that Silky actually makes them in multiple sizes, but for all intents and purposes the short ones kind of.... Suck, except as light hatchets. The 240mm is the full size one and weighs about the same as a small american hatchet and it's the one I'd get if I was somebody watching this video, because you need the weight behind it to make what it wants to do easy. Which is splitting wood and delimbing branches. It is best at delimbing, that's technically what it's meant for. It's made of sk5 so it's basically indestructable, but it can rust within minutes of contact with water. One problem with the silky is the straight blade, it can make contact weird or not go all the way through things the way you exactly want. Also the bent handle forces you to learn a new back-leaning technique if you're doing wood splitting. Because of that straight blade it chews the outside of your splitting log up very, very fast. 10x faster than any hatchet, so prepare to be replacing your stumps constantly.

If you want a chopper and coconut cutter the Silky, as a survival knife the Terava wins.

I’ve got a scrama nothing beats it 👍thanks to you for sharing ⛺️👍🔪

The Terava Skrama rules!

When is my video could published my friend? 😅

Nice

I don't think the two are comparable. Skrama is a weapon/large chopper whereas Nata is a forestry tool for delimbing trees. Nata is a brutal brutal chopper as well but only with swings coming in from the right, thanks to its one sided bevel. If you swing it from the left it is more than likely to glance off which can be annoying(potentially dangerous) if you are used to two sided bevel tools. Both certainly have their place and uses but i don't see Nata as a bushcraft tool. Too much of a one trick pony. That said, for garden work i will always reach for Nata first.

Just For Your Information: finnish word "terävä" = sharp

If my dog had to wear a label that said don't touch me don't speak to me and don't look me in the eye I would consider myself an abject failure as a dog owner .

Thank you for this video! hmmm .. well here in Germany we are restricted, the maximal blade length allowed, measured without the handle, is 12 cm 🤣(of course, if we carry a knife at our own property, it is not forbidden to carry a longer knife) . All the best to you and yours, greetings from Hamburg/Germany, Dietmar, DL4HAO

Not quite sure that you know the Nata is a type of axe for a start, there's a strap to go round the handle

Brilliant video 👍👍👍

The Nata is a Forestry hatchet…… supposed to be blade heavy. The hip sheath has a retaining strap intentionally added for idiots who wear it upside down. Do you actually think about what you’re going to say before you hit record?

❤❤❤❤❤

Both have pros n cons. I’d take both. N I LOVE the ring !!! I wear a silicone black ring myself. Plz send a shoutout to AG n Donna for me. 🫵👍🙏❤️🔪‼️ TJ

A Chinese firewood cleaver（ close to 1cm thick at the spine and wider at the tip) can easily beat this thing, and does not need the help of pounding by another firewood. The blade on this thing is just not thick and wide enough...

Skrama apsolutno 😊

18 ounces isn't nearly heavy enough for a chopper. Silky wins easily.

😁😉👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻 Lp.

In Japan, NATA is a knife that is handled roughly and is generally not tactically modified in the same way as Western knife makers. As for sheaths, traditional NATA are often stored in wooden, ill-fitting box-like sheaths or cheap leather covers, and many of those used at home or in the neighbourhood are not stored in such sheaths. Many Japanese do not care if the NATA sheath makes a noise, is a little rusty or is not in a sheath. Compared to these, the Silky is a modern design, but it is still only NATA, and from a Western bushcraft point of view, there will inevitably be some complaints. These are my personal thoughts on NATA as a Japanese person.

IF THE OPPOSITE OF PRO IS CON, THEN THE OPPOSITE OF PROGRESS IS CONGRESS. 😂

If your blade is chipping so badly you have to replace then it's fucking garbage, period. I have had hundreds of knives, machetes, hatchets, tomahawks, kukris, etc. I have only had a maybe 2 or 3 that I damaged so badly I had to throw them away. If you've managed to destroy 2 of the Skramas then they are steaming shit. There's something seriously wrong with the heat treatment if you're having that problem. It's NOT normal.

Hello from Canada eh! So, what the Blah-blah, blah hoser? Just like, eh, let us know der details eh? You nice bush guy though, no horsing around eh?

Keep selling rings because you don't understand shit about machetes mate....😄

Ive beat on aged hickory and oak with my skrama and i havent had any major edge damage. I did however make the edge convex and less steep in addition to polishing/sanding the blade for less friction. You probably wont have a problem with the edge if you arent abusing it too much. Ive beat the shit out of it takes it like a champ.
