Mine was a disappointment. While removing the plastic handle (to replace it with a wooden one), the knife blank fall aprox. 25 cm on some concrete, and the tip has broken. Didn't expect that from a "wrecking" knife. For those interested, the tang is 8,5 cm, it narrows from 1,5 to 1,2 cm, and it has 2 small pre-drilled small holes.
25 cm wow that's nothing, quite surprising. The edge on mine seems pretty bomb proof. I have had to sharpen it of course but no chipping whatsoever and the chisel knife that I have has been really badly abused and survived. Trying to think of explanations but can't come up with anything other than the same old excuse of bad heat treatment. Getting the urge to drop mine on concrete now to see what happens 😂. Thank you very much for the tang info and for watching the video.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft Maybe I was just unlucky and received a bad one, or maybe the tip chipped hitting some small harder rock in that concrete, who knows... But the drop was very small and the temperature was +20 °C... After that I didn't continue the project, but I still have the blank. If someone wants to put the work in this kind of makeover (handles, sheaths etc) they better test it a bit before.
Your not talking about the Mora classic now I take it. Thanks for watching Ilari. Hope you had a great weekend mate. Will be mentioning you in the next one if I ever get round to editing it. Really behind with everything at the moment. Thanks for watching.
Just came across your channel and discovered 2 new knives i like the look of already thanks, subscribed. Btw when you're not on screen i imagine john Cooper Clarke narrating!
I own one of these knives and it really is a workhorse. It's also just fun to work with because it's so carefree because of the price, and you're not constantly afraid that it might break. It bites into the wood extremely well and, despite the wide spine of the blade, is suitable for outdoor cooking
It really does make a knife far more versatile when it is so cheap that you don't feel that you have to be careful not to damage it. Very impressed with this things performance too. It cuts great, stays sharp and is comfortable to use. Thanks for watching mate. Have a great weekend.
Looks great, Brother . I have been putting off getting one ,I'll get one in the end and make a leather sheath for it .God bless you and your family, and happy camping 🏕 🙏 😊.
love that knife its the bacho 2449 wrecking knife if anyone has trouble googling them its 4mm thick sk5 steel and its made for heavy construction work so its designed for beating on the handle,the blades are made in japan it was told by bacho themselves in a mail.when i bought one in a hardware store i went trough like 15 of them before i picked a perfect one there might be small variations but for the price you cant really ask for more,you tend to find them in stores that carry the bacho gardening tools and chainsaw stuff.
It's pretty bomb proof, it's coming into work with me every day at the moment. I need to put some rivets in that sheath though. It slips of my belt every time I get in the car. Thank you very much for the information.
At last someone reviewed it. Thank you 🔪 Ps. You can hammer its spine and its but with heavy Iron hammer. I have used it for years. In all dirty scenarios.
I forget to mention that, they actually advertise the fact. It seems to be quite common practice with Mora type knives to hammer the spine here in Finland. But to actually advertise it shows confidence in their product. Really is a work horse, cuts nicely and holds it's edge too. Thanks for watching mate.
Unni saw swans this weekend. We don't chase them though. The lakes and rivers are opening now. It will be wet paws time soon 🤣. Thanks for stopping by Andy.
It's good and sturdy and cuts well. It is butt ugly and has a crap sheath. Would be fine for you, I am sure you would keep it in another knifes sheath🤣. Thanks for watching Grizz.
No tengo el heavy duty pero creo qué prefiero el Bahco aun qué me gusta la funda aun menos, no me gustan las fundas de eate estilo. Pero por Los precios de ambos Bahco y Mora, pues me encantan Los precios😂. Gracias por ver el video amigo. Un abrazo fuerte.
Looks really good. I'm going to have to try to find one. I have had a pretty good Dewalt Chisel knife for about ten years. Stays in my carpenter belt. Don't know who actually made them for Dewalt.
Is it the one with the serrations at the base of the blade? If so I have one too. Also had it for a few years. I prefer the bahco though thinking about it the dewalt is in pretty damn good condition for the use it has had, it's doing well. Thanks for stopping by Travis.
Ive always heard great things about that knife. Its just impossible to obtain in America. Im try to decide between the ranger m95 or m97 or the jaakari puuko 140 or 110. I really side with the smaller in both. Im wondering which is more useful? If you could only afford one what would you use?
I find myself carrying the M95 more than all of the others. Just feels so nimble in the hand despite the longer blade. The sheath carry options I think is a big advantage but I do think I like the Sissipuukkos a bit more. There really isn't much in it though. Thanks for watching mate.
Hi both, Have the two rangers since a while, both well used. KB correct (and good video as always). The shorter one has similar great blade but has a much thicker handle which myself I don't like so much for my hand (despite size 10-11 glove...). The longer one has a thinner handle which I really like, both good knives but just my preference. Finnish friends here swear by longer original one. Hope if helps. C.
Thanks mate, it would be a fun project to customise this knife. Would look so much nicer in wood. Just a leather sheath or even a belt loop would already be a great improvement. Thanks for watching mate.
The GS is plenty strong enough mate. Strange that these aren't available over there as Bahco is now American owned (part of snap on tools). Thanks for watching Philip.

Reminds me of my Hultafors.
Yes!
Both SK5 blades made in Japan, both really good cheap tools.
Very similar indeed.
Thanks for watching mate.
Swedes know how to do cheap and durable heavy duty knives. Its their special talent, no competition😂.
Cheers Tim, have great day there in the north!

@@KuukkeliBushcraft looking forward to that. Hope you had a good vappu Tim! I guess finally the winters done.
@OldForestBushcraft hope you had a good vappu too. We are still dog sledding here. But it's pretty wet🤣

God bless and best wishes.

A proper knife, quite simply 👌
It certainly is, nothing fancy just a sturdy functional tool.
Thanks for watching mate.
Thumbs up for sure Tim. Good solid demo.
Thanks Dan. Really good knife for the price, very solid.
Thanks for stopping by
Looks like a great budget option!
It really is, I don't like the sheath but it's really robust and cuts well.
Thanks for watching mate.

I've been waiting for this one!
Well wait no more Chris🤣. It's good I like it. Cuts well as well as being bomb proof.
Hope you had a good weekend mate.
Thanks for watching.
Loving the content.
Thank you my friend, I am very glad.
Muy bien desempeño. Empluma muy bien. Saludos Tim . 👍🇺🇾
Gracias Miguel, hare un video en Español algun dia tambien.
Saludos
It looks like a top blade Tim bro ! Hope you have an awesome weekend my friend ..big pats for Unni 🐾🐾
Unni saw swans this weekend. We don't chase them though. The lakes and rivers are opening now. It will be wet paws time soon 🤣.

Good review, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Thank you very much Michael. Glad you liked the video. God bless and have a great weekend.
Appears to be a solid blade. Grizz
It's good and sturdy and cuts well. It is butt ugly and has a crap sheath. Would be fine for you, I am sure you would keep it in another knifes sheath🤣.

Buen vídeo,el cuchillo por aquí sale a el mismo precio que heavy duti de mora,
Un abrazo compañero
No tengo el heavy duty pero creo qué prefiero el Bahco aun qué me gusta la funda aun menos, no me gustan las fundas de eate estilo.
Pero por Los precios de ambos Bahco y Mora, pues me encantan Los precios😂.

nicer hultafors putting a wood handles would be nice or just leave things alone good to see you and ounni good love for me
Thanks mate, it would be a fun project to customise this knife. Would look so much nicer in wood. Just a leather sheath or even a belt loop would already be a great improvement.
Thanks for watching mate.
I think I will stick with my Hultafors OK 4. That is until they can be found in the U. S. 😆
The GS is plenty strong enough mate. Strange that these aren't available over there as Bahco is now American owned (part of snap on tools).
Thanks for watching Philip.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft I found it! I have to remember there's more places to buy things than Amazon.
@@PMK7734 🤣 well done. We don't even have amazon in Finland.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft you're lucky! It's a money trap.
