HOW TO Customize Mora Garberg for John by thetopicala

- This was my second attemp to customize Mora Garberg. My first went to Taro from Taromovies. John, thanks for choosing this stabilized curly birch block to this project. it's one of those blocks I cut into pieces on my own and sent them for the stabilized to Jaska Nukari Puukkopaja in Finland.
We used John's 'old', used Mora Garberg knife this time and some minor scratches can be seen on the blade. Those scratches do not reduce the value of the final result!
The handle has got a great grip. It feels robust and strong. It weights 242 gramms with the sheath.
Thanks for your interest,
Osmo

Hanlon Razor Thanks!
I had no idea how much goes into making a custom knife handle. You have awesome skills! I have a better appreciation now for the quality and craftsmanship. Cheers from Chicago!
Wow. That came out really nice. The curly birch looks amazing.
It's not just the beauty of the knife, but the beauty of your video in telling the narrative of the knife that I enjoy so much. So I would never skip ahead to see the final product! Thanks for the story of another great knife.
Random Button Pusher Thanks buddy for kind comment. This time I had some trouble with shooting the video clips. Couple of times the play button didn't start recording what I did😂 Noticed it afterwards😜 I need a camera crew😁 haha Thanks, Osmo
this is amazing! your level of craftsmanship is awesome!! you turn a simple mora kniv into a piece of art....
Thanks you! Help of good knife making friends is always worth of gold. I'll ask or make searches if i don't know it by myself. Osmo
Great to see finally the working process:-) I'm sure John will be happy with it, thanks for sharing, Taro
Taromovies Swiss Bushcraft & Survival Thanks my dear friend Taro! You know as I told you about your knife. The darkest time of the year and finished too many knifes at that time; too many projects then. But so happy you liked it this time. Osmo ps. See You soon!
Absolutely beautiful my hat's off to you my friend
I was skeptical all the way until the end. Then I was blow away. Wow. Beautiful
I am putting together my first knife and I have found your videos a perfect combination of "just enough" nuts and bolts detail blended with with great music and a beautiful end result. Very inspiring and encouraging. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your process.

survivalmike Thanks Mike! Customizing Mora Garberg the way I did it isn't the simpliest way to create it. It took many many days and evenings! You kind of saw the schratch of it. 😄 See you soon buddy! Osmo
another beautiful handle osmo,your customer will be pleased.
john whitehead Thank you John!
Wow ! You are an artist man!
William Quirk Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful 👏👏👏
Fantastic work! Glad I found this channel
Glad to hear! 👋🏻🇫🇮
Find my Instagram too 👍🏻
That is a work of beauty if ever I saw one. Now I want to learn from the master 🥲
Thank mate for the kindest words!
Your music is excellent too. Very relaxing to watch you work.
Rhyannon Lallatin Thanks! I find it rather important to use my 'type' of music. Thanks for all those musicians! Osmo
that is seriously a piece of art ! wonderful work !!
italRotty Thank you! I am happy that these guys have given me a chance to do it! Osmo
Beautiful and classy work, Osmo!
Steven Wilder Thanks Steven! 👋🏻
Very beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Stunning work.
lmazcraz Thank you!
Wow John is a lucky guy! Feeling very jealous right now!
Mr. MacPhisto 👍🏻👍🏻👋🏻
Tip top job. You have a very sure touch with your sanding disk, especially. I would have taken twice as long and not sure it would have been as good a job. Fantastic knife.
Thanks Bruce! I spent maybe an hour on my sanding machine with this knife. Anyway, hand sanding is the main key for the result and for sure the eye for the form :) Osmo
God smiles on such beauty and craftsmanship :)
Lovely, exquisite work, friend! I would normally skip to the end, but I miss woodworking so much (I used to work for a custom cabinet maker, but haven't gotten to do any woodwork in years since being injured on the job) and watching the shaping and sanding process especially was entrancing and relaxing.
Again, gorgeous work. A Mora blade definitely deserves such a fine setting.
Hey Aleister, always an honour and joy to get feedback from professional woodmakers. Actually today glued together a new Mora G project and hope to shape and sand it into form in these days. I have also gathered some video material from this work and maybe it’s there on tube too. Thanks for your kind words and wish you all the best! Osmo 👋🏻🇫🇮
Sir, You have turned an ugly production knife into a work of art. Well done!
The Last Neanderthal Thanks mate!
Nicely done…
Many thanks!
WOW, excellent job. Very nice handle!
M.A. Stough Thanks!
Damn!! VERY NICE, great job👍👍
jimmy jonsson Thanks
Nice work. Really like the final product. Noting better than the feel and look of a wood handle.
Thanks Mike! Yes, it should be more natural now :) Osmo
Very impressive work, beautiful finished work and excellent video.
ConcealedCarryIWB Many thanks!
Expert job, love it, the Mora Garberg is one of my favorit knifes
Thanks, I could easily pick up it with me to the desert 👍🏻
You are in the Knife making Olimpus level!
What a beautiful work!
Congratulations! 👏👏👏
Pablo Ramírez Díaz Thanks Pablo!
Wow. Fantastic work!
Love your use of language.... after "punching" the tang, ... "taste the sanding machine"... Very entertaining and useful demonstration. Sorry for your suffering elbow! But finished product is beautiful!
Rhyannon Lallatin Hi mate! Thanks for the nice comment! You know we finns do speak odd finnish language😀 and therefore odd english😂😂😂 Osmo
I thought you might be Finnish by the "LA" ending of your name. I had a Finnish friend named Erola. Learned so much from her!! Finnish is a very complex, beautiful poetic language indeed! And it translates into beautiful poetic English, just like your knives translate into beautiful works of poetry. I will subscribe and watch you translate some more! Thanks!! Cactus Wren, from the Mojave Desert.
Rhyannon Lallatin I like the word 'poetic' 💙 Osmo
Beautiful!
Love it Osmo
JPT A Thank you!
looks great Osmo
Bryan Resch Thanks Bryan! You are dealing with axes lately. Saw your post somewhere, oh yes Instagram👋🏻 Osmo
thetopicala Oh , that was an Axe I found in someone's basement. It had a flat edge , like a pancake lol. I never saw such a neglected edge. That was abuse at it's worst 🤤
Bryan Resch You'll make it back alive! 👍🏻
Well done Sir - helvetin hyvä!
You took an already "good" knife and just made it into a "great" knife. Those are some beautiful handles and it was a pleasure to watch you work. Its always nice to see a craftsmen do his/her thing with extrodinary results.
P.S Sorry about your elbow.
Bluegrass Survival Thanks mate! These customizing works are interesting to do. I really like to try them! Osmo
WOW,that turned out beautiful..easily the best looking Mora Garberg I’ve ever seen..this is one thing could majorly improve Morakniv,Cold Steel,and Falkniven knives greatly IMO...I just don’t care for plasticity and rubbery knife handles..I prefer micarta and G10 scales but wooden,antler and horn handles make for a beautiful classy look...great job
Fantastic job on the handle 👍👍
theurbanyankee Thanks!
Awesome work
Darrell Richards Thanks Darrel!

Nice looking blade. You do amazing work.
gemmint77 Thanks!
Stunning work as always. That steel looked like some tough stuff.
Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors Thanks! If had made a hidden tang knife out of it all would had been much simplier and quicker. The steel is so hard. Osmo
Beautiful!! Very good work, love it!
Jobiwan thanks!
GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!
Great! thanks Michael! Osmo
Beautiful as always!
Loris Buschor Thank you Loris! Osmo
The handle is the only part of the Garberg that I do not care for.
This is a lot of work but you certainly did a fine job.
I'm not sure I would want to go through that much work.
James Stapay Thanks it certainly required some working time.
Beautiful work!
The end result is beautiful
Dean O Thanks Dean! Happy to meet you for long time!👋🏻 Osmo
Gorgeous. I wish I had those skills to modify mine!
BackyardBushcraft thanks!
Absolutely gorgeous sir!
Fjellstorm Bushcraft Thank you!
I made my first one from a blade i purchased on line. used a leather belt and an old bone an d rosewood corkscrew for the handle with copper spacers front and back.
It would be great to see it!
OMG that is Awesome, beautiful knife

12:36 ,,, I love asymmetric handles ,, there is no doubting its all hand made that way ,,, some very interesting techniques .
Nice job done. Looks great.
lion kempers Many thanks!
I just watched it... you have done a very good job!
Rene Kleisman Thank you! Happy that you liked it! 👋🏻
Beautiful
If/when one of my Garberg handles get ugly/ruined/melted I'll square up the tang and give it a proper cord wrap (Strider method) if I figure out a good way to put a nickle bolster/finger guard on it first.
