only one criticism, and its just a personal preference, the colour and look of the beech handle was destroyed by scorching it, in my opinion, beech is a beautiful hardwood, and requires no treatment other than tung oil or varnish to enhance its natural beauty, but other than that a good job we,l done,
FOR THOSE CURIOUS. HE IS USING AN "AIRSOFT GREEN GAS PROPANE ADAPTER" !!!!!!!! same size hole!!! We use them playing airsoft for our gas powered guns, propane is cheaper than special airsoft gas.
Just a heads up folk, that Blue stuff is poisonous, so if you use the knife for cutting apples, I suggest using vinegar, or if you want a pattern, mustard.
😂😂 I just saw a very easy task being done in a very hard way🤦🏻🤦🏻 The box already had perfect holes in the bottom, which was cut away just to make new ones in the plate. Even the ones for the screws🤦🏻🤦🏻😂 How about just making a circular hole in the plate instead, sized to leave the four corner holes for connectionpoints..?
Stopped recommending Ka Bar after they changed from full tang to skeletonized tang. You can see how it affected the durability of the whole knife. They always break on that weak spot.
You're gonna get someone maimed or worse. Especially with those pen torches. I've had butane blow the seal on those so many times and propane is at a waaaaay higher resting pressure
Ok...In my opinion this is not a great camping/ bushcraft/ forestry knife. This a huge clumbsy thick knife, witch the main "plus" is being a good "hammer", "pry-bar", "shovel" etc, for urban SHTF situacions. So, i think hitting a knife with metal (or what ever) in a disaster/emergency situacion, to eventualy rescue someone or your self is "acceptable". It should tolerate most of that, because that is it's "design purpose". So...i can't see this any other way than a major (design) flaw... This being said, anyone knows if it's possible to weld some metal plates in those holes to restore some structural strenght?
If it's gonna snap......it'll do so right where they put lanyard hole at top of handle. Something you should always keep in mind with this Chinese blade.
No way. You will reduce the strength of the assembly by at least 50%. Why not use a perforated platform? Or angle brackets to lift it above ground ? Please do not destroy the perforated base, factory made.
Dont get me wrong tomahawks are really cool id say they look much cooler than the hatchets but im a hatchet guy and thats for good reason such as the facts that u can cut down thicker trees with a hatchet with less effort than u would with a tomahawk a sharp hatchet wiht a thin edge will do pretty much everything the tomahawk can do and better since it has more weight than the tomahawk u dont need to put in as much force for it to cut the same as a tomahawk however u do need to put in lots of effort for the tomahawk to cut into trees or saplings what a tomahawk will take 3 hits to cut a hatchet with thin sharp edge will take only 1 so to all those saying "but tomahawks were historically used for the majority of human time" Thats because people at the time were very poor in terms of metal so they figured as long as they make a cutting edge and a small eye to do basic tasks there is no need to waste furthermore metal to make it heavier like a hatchet due to them having little metal to work with they would use the spare metal to make other tools and to the same people who say they were historically abused by humans i say why dont they still get abused more than the hatchets?why dont we see tomahawks being used as axes anymore or hatchets anymore?So in other words a tomahawk is just a better looking worse version of an axe and a hatchet thats really what it is with a straight up honest logical opinion no bs
@@Dav624 good discussion frankly I don't have a tomahawk ( so how would I know? ) I have 2 hatchets ( ok for survival ) used brother's axe ( heavy full size ) but have seen the tomahawk used in India a lot by everyday people that venture into nearby woods to gather firewood for home it is very popular ( makes sense medium size easy to carry good reach good for protection against animals does basic cutting and even used as weapon in human conflict. ...deadly ) easy to craft maintain so let"s say one is more suitable in one situation they all do the basic job you could use hatchet also for self-defence ( less reach )
@@rajibjoshi9647 the less reach can easily be fixed with a larger handle after all you can give a tomahawk a hatchet handle length too so the reach isn't really a factor when comparing these two but yeah the tomahawk heads are much easier and cheaper to produce than hatchet heads although the problem with tomahawks is just that they can do everything a hatchet can do for just more effort because they lack weight so u will have to put extra strength to them to cut the same way a axehead will cut I never had a tomahawk before but my grandpa had a small little tomahawk smaller than my hatchet and I only have a single hatchet wich I purchased for 10 bucks it's one of those cheap stuff with plastic handles and a very thick edge of course I had to modify the edge and after making it thinner sharper it works perfectly for me I can now carve wood with it like a knife I can also split logs with it although it's a mystery steel it hasn't lost its edge or sharpness and I have a year without sharpening it after using it for almost everyday in the summer for fun bushcraft projects with wood I kinda gotten really attached with this hatchet although it's cheap it's really nice and for the price I got it for Its really performing like high quality one I'm not a fan of plastic handles but it's sturdy it's waterproof and I don't really have much vibration going to my hand from it since it's also rubberized along the end
Just made similar last month. At no time were the sex nuts removed from the handle. Lol! Wait until that shock cord catches on something! Drill a hole in it that lines up with the blade hole so you can hang it up.
This is extremely dangerous as propane is stored at much higher pressures than butane. Filling a butane torch with propane can lead to a fire or explosion.
propane for butane lighters?? had no idea that would work , maybe for cheap lighters but not for the expensive ones where you might risk clogging it i mean how pure or refined is propane? not much i would think
Great video. There's 2 advantage points a hawk has over the hatchet 1- the handle can be replaced with any branch, anywhere, any place; 2 - The head of the hawk can be used as an Ulu knife (Inuit knife)
This is not a good idea, lighter fuels are a blend of butane and other higher boiling point hydrocarbons with vapor pressures of about 30-50psi at room temperature, the fuel on those canisters is almost pure propane which has a vapor pressure of about 135psi at room temperature and almost 200psi at body temperature so your lighter might leak or explode, also the oxygen to fuel ratios are slightly different as well so it might not work properly. You ain't cheating the system you are endangering yourself and others.
