Okay. Partner, You might find it easier to make feathers on your stick, if you stick the knife in a chunk of wood and then draw the stick against the blade.
John Villafranca hey thanks John, super glad you enjoyed it! I take the MB with me everyday to the woods. It seems ridiculously big at first. But after carrying it and using it I love it.
voider78 hey thank you sir for watching and subscribing. The knife is truly a beast and feels great in hand. I love the handle in the cold it really stays quite warm.
Got my MB. Wow what a knife. It feels so perfect. The weight is surprisingly light. Not too heavy at all even it is such a huge blade. Even fine tasks are no problem. I peeled a tomato just to try. I will work on a tree on Saturday. A real beast :-)
John Villafranca I have used this knife many many times since the video and it is still holding up great. I do not think you will be disappointed if you purchase one. Thanks for watching!
I cant believe the price of these still hasn't gone down. It's a great knife I hear, but thats a serious price tag. I'd own one now if the price wasnt insane.
@@shane4176 I usually try to get the "best" when it comes to stuff that could save my life in the field, but I can't find a difference between them other than the massive price difference. Which makes me think I'm missing something.
I've just placed an order of my 1st Fallkniven Volcano Knife and this Modern Bowie (or Monster Bowie) may be my second Fallkniven Knife, all thanks to your review. Thanks for being out there on the New Year Day.
Sean B that's why you shouldn't watch youtube, it's an expensive past time lol. Yeah I really can't recommend this knife enough. It does everything well!
Francisco Gallegos I'd buy the MB. For the simple fact the handle is much nicer! Also I happen to love COS steel. Both are nice but the NL series of knives the leather wrap handles tend to get loose over time.
No I never had any guard issues with mine. Its an awesome knife if you like big knives to do everything for you in the woods. I preferred an axecsaw and smaller knife.
@@Urdasein you are welcome yes I watched it to see what you were talking about. It does but I sold this knife recently and it had zero chips or damage of any kind. I love the steel. Holds an edge easy to sharpen and takes a scary edge. It loves the leather strop also.
I dont know which knife to get? A1, A2 or the MB? Not sure if the MB is to big and its also more then 2x the price of the A2 and the A1 is really portable?
Jakelol1980 yeah the MB is awesome and I love mine. But it's way over priced. If you want a large knife for doing everything. I'd just grab a A2 wilderness knife. And my favorite survival knife has always been my A1. So can't go wrong either way.
Jakelol1980 well that's a tough one to answer. The A1 is my go to for sure. Well before I purchased my MB. I truly love my MB I mean to be honest of all the fixed blades I've owned it would be in my top 3 if not my favorite of all time. Obviously because of its size it's not perfect for bushcraft. But if someone said "hey Shane sending you out in the woods for an extented period of time you get one knife." To do everything from shelter building, defense from predators "I'm probably running" bushcraft and cleaning game. I'd choose my MB. The steel is awesome to sharpen holds a great edge has corrosion resistance has an awesome handle. It's just a super nice knife. But like I said it's over priced. But if you like The design which I do. And the size and weight I say it's a good choice. Although the A1 is still a tough knife to beat and doesn't disappoint.
Emiliano Luraschi not sure if it's the toughest but it's pretty dang tough. You would have to really try to damage it. I really like it, it does alot very well. Thanks for watching.
This video made me cringe as soon as I saw the log compared to the palm of the hand... I knew what was to happen. The use of the knife depicted in this video is a first world approach and an erronous at that one. There is no sane reason to batton a knife, of course other than liking battoning, which is a legitimate passion, but not at all logical or necessary in terms of purposeful knife use or "survival". Westerners do have the money to buy such beautiful knives, and then wreck them, and go buy some more... No realistic "survival" camping and buscrafting etc. situation can put a realisticly wired person in a situatuon where he'd have a large knife like that, but no axe, yet he carries an obviously intentionally packed wooden mallet to abuse the "survival knife" with... In the sane and less well-off parts of the Old Country, East of the Elbe and the Enns, things are different: we do not have the money to buy and wreck and than buy some more expensive and beatuful works of art/knife industry like the knife presented in this video. If some does manage to buy one, he'd use it as knives should be - for cutting and slicing, light carving; not chopping battoning and other abuses. We have axes of different sizes and primarily functions to do that. When I looked around last time, so did americans/westermers. Use axes for splitting logs. This knife is a beautiful work of art - too bad that the company that makes it promotes/encourages such reckless use of it. Even worse that it is presented as a knowledge of proper knife use/survival skill. It is neither of those. What it is is incompetent use of a knife in a situation where no sane and really prepared person should find him/herself in, a promotion and perpetuation of a bad interpretation of knife/ "survival" related skills, and consumerism at large. It is a pitty...
If this knife is designed to withstand over a long period of time the exercises in the video then it wouldnt get wrecked right? I think also in a survival situation you may not have a variety of axes to hand, just the knife you chose to take with you and if its this one well then you could survive!
