If it's any consolation Rob I live in Cumbria so similar climate to you and the only place I can find fatwood is off Amazon 😂. Gotta agree with the previous comment about your feather sticks. If mine were half as good as your worst one I'd be well happy. Keep up the good work 👍
I do like a Mora myself, they should come zero scandi, much easier to add a micro bevel than to take off. Superb knives for working wood, I'm with you on the ferro rod gizmo though, prefer to keep one in my pocket then on the end of the knife.👍🏻
I agree but the one in the knife is a nice backup. Was camping and I lost my Ferro but I had the Spark so I was fine. My Ferro now has a bright orange cord
Thanks for the video.. nice to have you giving us all this information so we don't go getting things we don't necessarily need. Health and Happiness to you Rob
Nice jacket Rob, haven't seen that one before. Managed to get 3 of those knives and replacement ferro rods for pennies when a outdoor shop had a closing down sale. They all have the black sheath though, but that doesn't stop them from cutting and sparking. I keep them as backups to my backups. Nice relaxing video with the "babbling brook"in the background, lovely birdsong too. They are the only small Moras I know of that have an integral lanyard hole. Hope the burn gets better.
Rob can you grab someone by the ear in Sweden and BEG them to make a 1/2 by 6 inch Ferro please?? I know it would be expensive but in my case SO worth it😂
One of the things I do when splitting a bigger log with a small knife is I split a bit close to the edge then use that as a wedge to actually split the wood works great. I have the light my fire one from years ago, I use that as my back up in the pack kind of knife.
👍👌Great review Rob. Disappointed with the knife, was thinking of buying one, they are relatively cheap here too. Now I think I'll go ahead and get a Bushcraft Black which have become available 😊. I'm still saving for the SRK 3v as my primary😅.
Yeah I mean with a DMT continuous surface you could zero that scandi out followed by a Spyderco ceramic, which BTW with a CSSRK in CPM3V you'll need those😂
I have one of the Victorinox Dual Sharpeners with the ceramic rod. I use it for keeping my SAKs sharp and field touch ups of my main knife. I think it is probably much better than the necklace and less than half the price.
You are probably right mate , I'd go with a Fallkniven DC stone or a DMT slip stone before this but they don't have to "cool factor" like the Viking pendant necklace.
Wish my best feather sticks were as good as your sh1tty ones. 😂. Good review of both products, fair and realistic comments on the wazoo stone, good for emergency's and a nice piece of jewellery. We've all done the teapot tango at sometime🔥🤣
Hi Rob😊 fair test mate, but I'd like to see what it's like after its been sharpened to your usual standards, im guessing it would be fine. I'm wondering how much tang is missing to accommodate the ferro rod, or does it go either side of it, ?. As a back up knife/ firestarter it's probably fine, and if that's all you had then ok, but you'd better treat it carefully . The viking sharpening stone, worked in your experienced hands, but for a beginner it's too small, and puts your fingers too near the sharp bits, I have a falkniven DC4 and have nicked myself whith that, so I wouldn't want to go smaller, or maybe I'm just not careful enough, lol. Anyway thanks for the video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
