Great review. I've just ordered an OK4. I have a Mora Companion and a Basic 511. I also have the Hultafors Craftsman knife, all very good. I was looking at the Black but couldn't justify the price. The OK4 makes a lot more sense.

Great setup but still partial to the big sweaty flapper kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iKtzoNmQvpOonpc.htmlsi=cPJSEs-zZto3oMTD

With all things the same, like your carbon content, a stainless steel knife will stay sharper longer than a carbon steel knife because chromium carbides are several magnitudes harder than iron carbides. It'll take longer to sharpen it, but it will resist where much better than an equally crafted carbon steel knife.

Great stuff here! Just curious what kind of stove that was?

So when i rub my knife with oil, i just leave the oil on there and put my knife back in the sheath?

Firewood/ debris carrier

Esta comparativa no tiene sentido. La comparativa del Hultafors sería co el Mora Robust, nisiquiera con el Morakniv Duty.

I have been a carbon luvr lately as the history of broken stainless blades has bothered me. The roll over and quick fix only works once before it chips has frustrated me. Carbon just works! Hot vinegar patina when new after a scotch brite scrubbing and alcohol rinse including handle is great! A yearly touchup is quick and easy. I use vegi oil and my 2 part beezwax, 3 part coconut oil preservative for winter storage.

A very polished and informative presentation. Thank you.

Cheers..

I have no idea about the reason for what the people still want stand the bottles over the fire if it is so simple putting the bottle directly on the ground with fire lol, just put the bottle in the fire and let it boil the water. Why it need fly over the fire? LOL

Thanks for being impartial, even though you personally prefer the Mora.

As a blanket?

Thanks for the useful review 👍🏼

Carbon cut better it's easier to sharpen and it's more tought BUT if you take the best type of staintless like VG10 or Elmax it's an other strory

Nice video mate, just wondering, what sort of mug have you got, and what size is it?

Opinel.. an man of culture.

That TQ application was flaud, brother. Put it over the extremity, overhand knot tight against the legiment, put a stick on the overhand knot then another knot over the stick and tighten until arterial bleed stops. Once desired pressure is achieved, use another shemagh or triangular bandage to tighten down the stick to keep pressure! Simple! Stay Alert, Stay Alive

Great informative video 👍👍👍

Good job, natives wear it around the waistline to carry stuff,. At the corner wrap your things then roll it up and tie around waist or chest, they even carry their babies in that way

Thanks for the review it was so helpful and in-depth. Love these bushcraft knives and I've got quite a growing collection but still adding to it 🤩

I have both and like them very much, I could not pick one against the other, one has this and the other that, but both are superb. The only difference is price, and if you are on a lower budget you can easily buy de OK4 plus the Hultafors GK (HD) for about the same money as a Bushcraft Black. Actually I recently bought a GK only for batoning... so I have 2 options for bushcrafting and general use, the GK for batoning and rough stuff, and the classic Opinel (inox) for food prep... (and besides I always carry 1 or 2 swiss army knives as back-up)

I run out of red wine about half an hour ago and I thought

I cannot say that I am a big fan of mora. Had mora robust and 2000 carbon and stainless steel, both got chipping after chopping small portions of oak. Wish I could upload pictures in the comments. I know it’s only £10-15 but even simple kitchen knife didn’t chip when I attempted to do the same.

A great fix thanks ! This old timer learned a new trick thanks I will do this mod thank you

thx

How do you secure a ridge line for a tarp that needs to be above reach, such as a big 20x20 tarp 10 feet up to cover a tent, table, chairs, etc? What knots for that when you can reach?

very smart hack. 2022. not the easiest find for the terminal connectors AND removing the plastic. Leaving them connected together way easier to work with.

Great video mate, cheers 👍🏼

I got a 3*3 lw and a xl,love both,very impressed by the durability🥳🥳🥳

I like carbon steel.

Great review brother. Thumbs up.

Excellent, very useful. I'll definitely be using those 👍👍

In Tasmania it grows like a crazy and nobody knows what it is, every year I have unlimited access to millions of them along country roads 😍

This video should be 5 min max, no more.

Everyone says victorinox saks are easy to sharpen, as I understand they are stainless. I also thought stainless steels were tougher.

I love my opinel scalpell no8 ♡ have the inox blade will get carbon soon

You don't need to oil a carbon steel knife, just make sure to clean it at the end of the day

Great video, not my first time watching it . 😁👍

Thank you, this is what I need to know:)

Your hand covers 90% of what to do

Nice one

The problem with the second finishing knot is that you always loose tention. Just as you can see on that video. Any substitutes?

I had just bought a Hultafors OK4, a few hours before I watched your video. It's my first fixed blade knife. (I haven't looked beyond my Opinel No9 until now.) I particularly like the way you compared dimensions and weight and blade thickness of the knives. It bought those aspects of the OK4 to life as you handled it and talked about it. Thanks for a great video.

I honestly think this comes down to personal preference and not being a dick to the things you use everyday. I prefer carbon it's easier to sharpen it does NOT hold an edge especially when it's compared to stainless. In regards to the rust problem as long as you can dry the blade within an hour you're generally good to go. Helps to oil it as well like once a week but if you don't have access to oil. Doesn't matter to much as long as the blade is not fully submerged. But if I was forced into an environment where I'm drenched for more than an hour Stainless is the way to go. I generally go by the rule if I'm going to be wet the knife is going to be wet. So If I can't get dry within an hour I'm not bringing a carbon blade but in a "survival" setting or just the back country. I would personally bring carbon the logic behind this is if you're in that type of setting and you're not getting dry/warm within an hour you're flat out not making it out of there. If you somehow do you're coming out fucked up just like the blade of your knife. The other reasoning behind it is carbon is much much easier to field sharpen. Anyways, great topic love seeing other peoples' opinions and reasoning.

how about carbon steel and 3v for bushcraft, or a few days outdoors, which would you prefer?

Thanks.

Cool

The way you were cutting those branches, so near to your hand and leg, made me wince. When we get out of lockdown and the world opens up again, I'm off hiking and the superlight tarp looks ideal.

You can use a shemagh as a weapon
