Kat good to see you as well. The trailer project is coming along. I keep changing my blue print. LOL The garden had a mind of it's own this year. My squash and pumpkins are just starting to produce fruit. Well, it will be added to our Halloween display. Thanks for dropping by Kat.
Cheers. My Canadiense is wining the race by a nose. LOL I do like mine because of the scales. In saying this my new all time favorite is the Nomad 6.5, man what a beast! My Ember made it's way to the kitchen knife drawer, that is where it shines. Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comment. Take care.
It's a great idea, but if you could just make one of them, and tell us what you're doing, AS you're doing it, you could reduce the video to about seven or eight minutes, and MANY more people will watch it, if you could just make it shorter than this is. Thank you for the idea.
I recently found one of these at a flea market , my sheath looks different! Great knife ! I haven’t really inspected mine yet , I have a fiskars grafting hawk bill that is a razor ! Never had a blade as sharp straight from the factory !
@@danielcharbonneau222 I paid around $10 so I think I did pretty good ! I’m in bc Canada , nice to find some Canadian knife people ! I have a couple grohmanns #1 and #4 which would make excellent skinners or bushcraft knives and the grail in my collection is a puma white hunter which my dad used to process game with !
Yes I have tried his fat rope. But I had to find a better solution and a cheaper alternative, and this was what I came up with, which also works great, in my opinion, real fatwood goes a long way.
I guess almost anything can in one way be called an abrasive ingredient. But I can tell you that if you lightly burn something in your frying pan all you need to do is fill it 1/2 way with water add a dab of dish soap and a light sprinkling of of backing soda to the water than bring it up to a boil for 10 minutes {make sure you watch it because it will foam up fast} it will loosen almost everything from the bottom of your frying pan and with a dish cloth it will clean up well with a quick wipe.
When I go to yard sales or where every, I look for wax candles for no cost, free. I bring everything home and place them in bunches and wrap them with plastic wrap and keep them for these kinds of projects. To me wax is wax, except for beeswax, that's a special wax, I keep that for other projects, such as waxed canvas work.
👍👍 Excellent demonstration. I subscribed to your channel based upon this video. I really appreciate videos where actual work is done to support the narrative. Thank you for sharing. I was impressed with the penetration of the BK9, it is a fine big knife no doubt. I was stunned with disappointment with the Kukris in the penetration test. I was blown away by the penetration & chopping of the Parang. Criticize your own feather sticking abilities if you must, but the results speak for themselves; you and the Parang made tinder that could easily begin a fire. I have a 10” Parang made in Malaysia that I have modified to extend the length of the cutting edge and your demonstration strengthened my confidence on this style blade being the proper choice for North America.
Wow, thank you for your excellent comment. Thanks for subscribing to my channel. This Condor Village Parang is a beast. I like it's versatility, just takes a little practice handling and knowing where the sweet spot is. My BK9, yeah it's a nice all around knife, big fan. During the chopping test I tried to put the same amount of downward force for all blades used, and yes I too thought that my Khukuris would of performed better. I had a few subscribers contact me and say it was not a far demo on the chopping ability of the Kuks. I explained the testing style, and the outcome was the true outcome I felt that viewers would get a false representation of my Khukuris so I followed up with a video just on the Kuks it selves, and the outcome was different, but I used a different amount of force, and the kuks blow apart the wood. LOL Thanks for dropping by, hope to see you again.
Thank you.best tutorial on this i have seen.I was looking for something to take some burnt smoke and stains off the metal on the outside of my shed .that a fire came through my property.looks like it will do the trick. Thank you 🙂👍🇦🇺
This tool needs work to be functional. A. raise the height of grind, it's too blunt. B. The handle is too thick, round, and smooth, it needs work, it is difficult to control. ....... After plenty of hours hand reconfiguring the blade, it is razor sharp at the belly and narrow convex in the "chopping" zone. I had too remove quite a bit of steel to make it sharp due to the blunt convex they give. The handle took time as well....but my final result I'm very well pleased. In total I removed 6 oz and made it more weight forward for efficiency. It can do everything from whittling to chopping. ...... With work....great tool, my "go to" Without work.....not efficient...
Wow sounds like you did a good amount of work to your blade. I'm glad it all worked out for you. I'm going to put a plan together and see what I come up with. For me this knife worked very well, nice and sharp and chops good. As for the handle, yeah reshaping it seams to be needed. Thanks for your comment and for dropping by.
@@roguerangerroger this village parang saved my @$$; My truck had sunk in frozen muskeg when hunting deer in winter and fresh snow. I parked, went for a foot stroll. When I got back, the truck was sinking. I used the parang to build ramps ASAP out of spruce boughs to drive upon, like a road made out of snowshoes, hoping to get momentum. One swipe, one big bough. Repeat x 20. It worked. If I didn't have a kick @$$ tool to deal with it, I'd been in a world of hurt. ....... This is why I don't bother with hardware knockoffs from China....I need equipment that means business.
@@danielcharbonneau222 thanks for your reply...I'll give you my procedure; Blade: I made a hybrid of three grinds in one. At the heel, i made a high, almost scandi, but slightly convex bevel. (3" length) This cuts feather sticks and kindling the size of matches. In the chopping zone, I raised the convex grindline at least half inch and made a shallow convex. (6" length) It is plenty sharp for fine chopping but strong enough to endure wood batoning and splitting. It is ideal for "one swiping" of 1-1.5" limbs, shelter making. The tip is ground nearly flat, and high, for low cuts, underbrush, grass, slicing, or high reach cutting I finished with 2000 grit wet sandpaper and leather strop. It is high polish; near razor sharp at tip and heel, and more convex in the main length. These grinds blend together. The back portion (2.5") of the spine was filed to a perfect 90° to throw spark. The remainder of spine was filed round for pounding on with the hand, it won't cut you. Handle: The first thing was to make the overall handle oval, but leave a full size palm swell. This brings stability and control. The knob was reduced significantly, including making it shorter on the back, with an angled, rounded drop shape. (Metal grind) This allows super long swing extension without binding the wrist. At the little finger position, I narrowed this to smallest diameter, sanding a curved pocket (into a "hook") ... the side of large Dremel drum) It hangs on a finger with out "holding" it, and gives an ultra secure grip. A bit of arch to the handle. (Metal grind) A bit of thumb stop at the top front. A bit of ridge left at bottom front to help keep hand from forward slippage. ..... Lots of belt sander work, hand sanding, but I don't regret. Most weight (70%) was taken off the handle, leaving forward weight having natural momentum for efficiency and mercy on wrist tendons. PS; Sheath: Warm it in oven to 100 F and saturate with mink oil. X3...
@@notfoolediknowthetruth3101 Partner you got that right. This tool can save your butt! LOL Add a Silky saw and you can get yourself out of all kinds of problems. Damn, your story triggered a thought of one of my adventures Moose hunting. 6 hours later I'm free from the swamp, "note to self bottle jacks sucks". A new Jack All became a truck tool that's still in my toolbox today 35 years later. LOL
Excellent knives, really great all round camp/hunting knives. You do see some idiots on RU-vid saying there not great choppers 😂 but I suppose it takes all sorts to make a world. Excellent for all the things you mentioned.🏴😁👍🏻
I used a mild scouring pad { none scratching} that I keep just for my outdoor pots. The one I'm using here has cleaned many of my pots. I don't throw them away till they start to fall apart {which can take a while} I store it in a zip-lock under the sink till needed. It takes hardly any effort to do its job. Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comment.
@@danielcharbonneau222 Cool. I used an old kitchen sponge scrubbing side that had worn out. I made a paste of baking soda & hot water based on your video. I successfully polished burnt soot off my kitchen tongs. Hooray! Thanks again!
Cast iron is a whole new method on its own. It needs special treatment. There are a lot of videos that show how to clean and season cast iron. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment.
1. SAVE that Good Plywood, Instead demo-burn on those fat cold damp rounds OR use a discarded pan, cookie tin sheet, or sheet metal 2. Achtung! Shiites Mister!! Use pointed green stick or wire poker to Pick at Burning Tinder instead of screwing up & OR De-Tempering Knife Point//Blade Steel ++ Also Watch out that those Beard-ends Don't ignite BUTTZ, still a Very Good & Detailed Thumbs up VID
Ever since this video came out I do now have a few baking sheets that I picked up in a yard sale, works great. So far so good on my Beard. LOL I do know what you mean, it could go up fast if not being careful. Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comment.
Just bought the 11 foot hammock, under quilt, and tarp, and cover, ( have a quilt all ready to use on me ) just waiting for it in mail next week. Rather excited, going be my late fall hunting camp gear. I have high hopes for this setup. Keep the foot end sightly higher then head end. It definitely helps you hit the sweet spot laying down better. I like mine about 16 inchs off the ground, then i can use it as a seat for those long nights sitting around reading.
I think for what you get vs cost is great. The quality is very good as well. I also bought the Hot Tent Tarp, man you can use this setup all year round even with a small wood stove to keep the morning dampness away.
@deemsbegay637 same from Amazon. Going be hunting in bragcreek Alberta, Canada, only few hrs from me. Hopefully I get my moose and deer. Be going for elk the month after and bear. My wife is Blackfoot, from siksika,
