Mora 220 Splitting Knife (Draw Knife)

- čas přidán 8. 03. 2016
- While the Mora 220 is commonly used and marketed as a push- or draw-knife in North America, in Sweden it is more used as a handy kindling tool for generating thin splints that will catch from the heat of flash tinder and then generate the heat necessary for lighting larger kindling, hence its name.

As a swede I first took offence to this manhandling of a nice tool, but before I wrote a scathing comment, proclaiming how wrong he was, I did some research. Mr FortyTwoBlades is using the tool as intended by name. Thank you for having the patience to not be rude and for schooling me on my own heritage. Im very pleased I did some reading before writing, that could have been embarrassing.
This is a good looking and productive tool
Great vid!. I Just got one to use as a draw knife and splitter depending on the project. Also I hear guinea fowl in the background!
No guinea fowls. You may have been hearing a plain ol' chicken. :)
Thanks for putting this out there. This tool is so far off when listed as a draw knife. It makes a poor draw knife. I have found a new use for this tool! Last thing I used mine for was as a fleshing tool, scraping a deer skin. And just as many people will complain if you tried to do this with an axe because it would so unsafe. Use the tool you got at hand.
maybe use an ulu or uluit knife for that?
Respectfully. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just use a good hatchet.
Because a hatchet doesn't penetrate into the wood as easily or allow for controlling the split of the lath. You use this with selected wood that has a good straight grain to it (or as close as you can find) during the course of stacking your wood, and you set those pieces aside. A hatchet is considerably worse for this very specific task, though certainly capable of the job. The splitting knife allows you to set the edge exactly where you want it and split off very thin, uniform laths that light and catch easily, to a fairly remarkable degree.
@@FortyTwoBlades preciate the answer.
This contraption is so ungratifying. I don't batton with knives, but I sure do like watching others do it.
Not sure what you mean? This isn't batoning.
better than fidget spinner
much easier and quicker to just lay the plank on the block with the ax on top and bring both of them down at the same time. doing it like this seems so wasteful.
+SirLobsterman If you're looking for thicker pieces, then yes, but that's not the point of this method. The splints formed are all less than 1/8" thick, which is what allows them to catch so much easier than those formed through other methods. You can't get splints this thin using an axe in that manner. The thin splints catch easily from a coal or match and then pump out enough heat long enough to start up larger pieces of wood very rapidly, which is the reason why this tool is so ubiquitous for the purpose in Sweden.
Why would you not just use a hatchet
This approach is faster, more precise, and more controllable, providing it's used with properly selected wood.
you are using the knife incorrectly. It is a "draw knife", not made for splitting. I could baton with a kitchen knife but it doesn't mean i'm utilizing the knife in the correct way.
Do a little research, silly!

Run some of their descriptive text through Google Translate and you may be very surprised.
It has a double bevel, it's actually a splitting knife. Works ok as a draw knife.
BCB needs to show more respect to the Amish community, but he is actually technically correct.
This is a draw knife, and its used for drawing. Splitting wood with it is fine too... but to optimise its capabilities I would suggest "drawing" the knife "toward you" ... because that is what you use "draw knives" for.
Great video and love your work. But as BCB says .... use it in the correct way mate.

now shut it...
Wow this was painful to watch, wrong tool for the the job. Mora 220 wood working/splitting/carving draw knive. Not a kindling maker.
Dead wrong if you did a little research. Mora's own website features an image displaying it being used for this purpose, and the red-handled version has a small eye screw in the end of one handle because they're commonly hung on the end of small wood racks many Swedes keep in the home next to the wood stove.

Their own product description on the Swedish site reads (when translated by Google) as:
"Too big woods are hard to light on. Tense smaller sticks using the knife knife and you'll soon enjoy a crackling fire"
and
"The knife knife is used to tighten smaller pieces of wood wood so that you can light the fire more easily. With carbon steel sheets and double handles of birch, it is both efficient and flexible to work with."
Harry Bee Ha it is späntkniv in Swedish so it is for att spänta stickor med. I have used one for decades to make splinters out of birch wood. to light fires with and everyone with a fireplace in Sweden have one if they do not have a hinged fixed one. The problem with them is that you need a third hand to hold the wood. What you could use instead is a Riving Iron.
FortyTwoBlades that was a funny translation, spänt=tense or tightened , spänta=to stave, to splint wood, make splinters .. Google translate can be fun. ☺
FortyTwoBlades you can use an ordinary mora knife too, just shove the tip into a makeshift handle ie branch and hey presto you have a bit too short an splitting knife.
