Video

I know a lot of youtube channels where experts and medieval instructors actually stike the flint stone against the steel . I always found that very unlogicly and irretating.

new subscriber man, you do awesome work 🤘

Extremely nice knife

Great Video and Channel! Any chance on maybe doing a product review of our Firestarter?

Wow m8 your proper grey now giggle

Exilent water safety and rescue

Hi Paul, I know this is an old video now. Just wanted to ask what knife you’re using here? Looks like it has a nice brass bolster

My first was a jacklore classic. Then a Mora. Both excellent in the bush.

Excellent work, Paul. So nice to get a review of a knife's quality based on real-world, hands-on usage, combined with an expert assessment of what this specific knife design is best (and less) suited for. Really enjoyed it.

Your paddle

Hello Paul, this is a bit of a sad story. I bought my first bushcraft knife in the early 2000s, and it was a Alan Wood/ Ray Mears original bushcraft knife, with leather sheath and ferro rod. Sadly, I lost it in 2009. After that I just used my spare, and rather excellent, Swedish 'Frosts' Mora green plastic handled, and Scandi ground knife. A few years ago, I purchased a Lars Falt Casstrom, which is a beast of a knife, but more reasonably priced than Ray's knives are now. When I ordered the original Ray Mears knife, it cost me c. £60, and I remember going on a waiting list for less than a year! I miss my Wood/Mears original knife, but I can neither justify or afford to replace it. Keep up the excellent and useful videos Paul, appreciated, Nigel, Scotland.

I'am knife steel nerd, and I'am glad for that. In these modern days we have a lot better steels then in history. Love and use MagnaCut, M390, Infi. I have Woodlore from Custom knife maker Igor Hritz in MagnaCut steel. Best knife. 🔥🇨🇿

You said day hike right ? That's a lot of stuff for a day hike, I go hiking with matches, compass and my knife. Maybe water but water is in abundance and is heavy to carry.

This is why I prefer the bright yellow handled Silky Saws.

Hey Paul, this is so great, thanks for posting this! Thinking of doing a similar trip myself and was wondering what footwear you'd recommend since there are quite a few moments where you seemed to have to get out and push through the water

If you are a collector, you have to add the carbon version to your collection. Great knife!!

I watch this whenever I forget. Thanks :)

Filter & boil

Excellent, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Paul you sincerely taught me bushcraft. Im across the pond and youd think id watch Canterbury more. I do watch him and he is amazing bur there has always been something that has drawn me to you. Thank you for all you do. One of my dreams is to take a couurse with you. CHEERS

If I ever get a wood lore I’d never use it. They’re now collector pieces. To expensive to use. I like my Mora’s and BPS knives. Inexpensive and durable. My favorite knife is my Bps b1 it’s a copy of the condor bush lore. Which I plan on getting as well.

Great knife... somewhat narcissistic presenter though. I'd love to know how many times you said me/I in this... Unfortunately after having skipped to where you had the scabbard/sheath fixed, then did a quick name drop for someone utterly masterful in their craft ,you then chose to shoot them down with "ofcourse i could have made this one myself". What a shame.

Thank you

Really nice review 👌 Mora should replace broacken garberg knives for free or maybe for half price -and use broken ones to investigate 🔎 🤔 what part is defective and improve. Also I like Mora to make knives longer and thicker like many of us boys and girls like to have -proper hardcore dirty havy duty work.

Sad to hear that Gransfors were nasty to you and that your friend left the axe outsiee. But great video, thanks. Cheers!

I recently bought a bushcraft knife from Jacklore Knives lovingly handcrafted by Sandy Jack AKA "Wiltshire Man". I guess the design of the knife is based on the Woodlore. Highly recommended - check out his channels.

The orange mora knife, it would be better if the whole of the knifes handle was orange instead of being mostly black, after all the knife itself is more important than the sheath, i find bright yellow is good for visibility.

About stainless steel not throwing sparks, I believe that carbon steel will spark when struck with flint or chert, whereas stainless steel does not. Ferrocerium will spark if scraped with a hard enough material - I believe a sharp rock will work. Thank you for a review that's worth considering from an actual user of the product.

Sharpening axes and sometimes even knives like this is great, but for me at least, it's definitely something I had to develop a feel for, the tacky dragging cut of fine grit is a very tactile, nuanced practice when done well. Of course having a good starting methodology gets you on the right path, though you still have to put in the leg work to get there. I'm still improving in this regard, but thanks in part to great videos such as this, practice, and having a keen interest, I like to think I'm well on my way. Cheers.

I melt beeswax with mineral oil enough to form a somewhat firm paste when cool. For the sake of appeal and perhaps antimicrobial properties, I also mix in a bit of lemongrass and cedar essential oils. Either way, it works very well for wood, leather, cloth, and metal. I highly recommend it. Cheers.

Great story Paul. That was a great comparison about the black belt as well concerning the instructors Woodlore knife. I heard someone stole Rays personal knife a few years ago 😐 Cheers 👍🏻

very enjoyable going alone can be fraut with danger but it looks like youve taken every precaution to stay safe .incredible scenery and great the way you explain everythink in detail feels like everyones there with you [i wish ] thanks for sharing paul

great episode paul looking forward to the next one. amazing place i bet your in your element there bud .thanks for tbg5fv4raking the time to film all this

I like the tungsten striker with longer handle you find in old fashioned tool shops. The are actually sharpeners used by farmers.

what a beautiful country and looks a great trip paul be watching the next episode asap .Thanks for all your hard work in producing this if it was,nt for people like yourself doing this kind of thing nobody would get the chance to see the real beauty of canada unless they went there so thanks again

Probably the most legendary knife in modern bushcraft, thanks for sharing!

Very well done everybody. Respect.

I have an old firesteel. Looks like the British one on the left. It has 'fireflash' written on the handle. I like the "Army" size too. Its neither too big nor too small!

Try dental floss as a thread and fishing line. It’s incredibly strong, light and cheap.

This makes perfect sense. Rare natural colors are what I consider useful. My favorite colors are Blue and Black. If I have a custom piece of equipment made, I would have bright blue made into the item. All my knives have reflective blue paracord lanyards on them.

If there are heavy metals in the water???

Plce is normally on a bergen military pack, patrol or battle belt. Usually with molly on it. But idea is good keep scoff in one or two places. They can be used for anything really.

2022 I startet to search for a knive that was not too expensive, produced in europe with lethersheet and firesteel included. I have made my decission. I bought my joker knives "ember" with a scandinavian grind. I love it. Greeting from the very north of germany.

I wasn't subscribed somehow again! Mental note made to search for you now. Especially when I get your emails. I hope things are good and you are well!

It can be done! just be careful! czcams.com/video/J-kc3e1PmqY/video.html

Fantastic video, really good! I've subscribed

Very good informative video, You gave me enough confidence to drink tropical Queensland swamp water forafter prelonged boiling. I filtered it through primitive charcoal filter as it wasn't clear, water colour was still tea like even after boiling (due to tea trees in the swamp). The taste was a bit bitter but I did not get sick at all and If it was a survival situation I'd be happy to drink litres of this water. Thank to the video
