Love your reviews , I have a large aluminum cigar tube for a match safe , sandpaper rolled up inside , love it. All about having fun . worried about survival ,carry more than one of a different type....
The Circle of Wisdom...... nothing embarrassing about those cheap old tools at all. I too, use them regularly in my almost old age. Although, I agree about the Bacho; I've never revisited that celebrity phenomenon. Cheers everyone! Enjoy the Summer! Be Safe!
I recently broke my folding saw , a cheap hardware store one that gave me three years of very good use in ... let's say less than ideal condition (a lot of cutting on very old wood submerged in swamp waters ... it's surprisingly tough to cut !), I'm definitely going to check out those samurai saws ! Can't be bothered with a silky, they might be amazing, but most of the people who own them broke the tip... I realize it's due to an user mistake, but I'm not smarter than my friends, I'll end up breaking it too :p. The robust is ... well it's just an anomaly of a knife. A lot of people praise the Garberg and the Puuko from varusteleka as "the knifes that everyone should own". I do believe they are wonderful knifes indeed, but with the Robust being the price it is ... I just can't justify putting 90 euros into a "deluxe" robust (unless you really want one, which is more than fair). Yes the blade is longer, but nothing a bit of creativity can't make up for, and with experience, I found that I was more often wishing my 13 cm bladed knifes were a bit nimbler than I did for the robust to be a few centimeters longer. Great video as always, Thank you for your work.
Thanks for taking the time to comment with your experience, I gave the little samurai saw to my friend and he's really happy with it, I'm just a kit addict and buy whatever takes my fancy, I don't think Silkys are the best saws for the outdoors but I do like them. All the best, Rob
Enjoyed this one mate, back to basics - with kit it's all about quality, which is normally expensive but sometimes it's just not - and we'd be foolish to ignore it. Mora are great.
Actually, been out to the woods several times now this year when the temperature is undr 32c , been sticking to my easy old knock around gear in a kit tossed on the back of the truck. Bringing along dry wood too , the humidity along with the rain 🌧has left everything damp wet and molding. Lighting a fire in 97°F at 70%humidity is more punishment than fun . Been using a single burner camp stove easy peasy for coffee or tea . Today was 88°F then the rain came dropped to 76 in about 15 min. Had to evacuate to my truck because of 50 to 60 mph winds along with heavy lightning 🌩 only lasted 45 min but it was a doozy ! After it passed ,made a cup o coffee ☕and packed up and came home. Going to take a quick bath warm up some spicey spaghetti and meat sauce leftover, make a garlic bread and have a ice cold adult beverage. 😋. Then to bed 🛌😴early. Tomorrow i work . I do appreciate your views and the time you put into your presentations. Very entertaining and interesting, we don't always agree but the majority of your ideas and thoughts are in line with my musings and my ruminations. Please be safe and take care ,have a wonderful week I hope to see cooler weather soon 😊.

In America, you have to look for matches now days. The ones you have are not too easy to find. When I was a young they called strike anywhere matches Barn Burners. The ones I have will light on any rough-dry surface. The Estwing Hatchet you Dad bought is one of my favorites. I used Estwing hammers; carpenter hatchets and camp axes for years and have never need to get another. You might pay more for some name brands but you do not always get more. I think your Dad was smart man. I never bought a Mora that I did not like. Your choice in a good saw was smart one. It looked to me; it cut as fast as any saw. Thank you showing some budget woodcraft tools that work. 🙂
I paid £6 for a Hultafors heavy duty knife donkeys year's ago and it's still going strong today, I've hammered it through Chaga and twatted it through many a piece of wood and it's still solid. It is probably going to out live me. I do own the Mora robust and it is a quality knife I have just gotten more attached to my old hultafors it's lived in my pack full time since I had it.
Me too I have both I would be hard pressed to pick one as a favorite shithitthefan knife. The skandi on the Mora is sharper. A better slicer. But the Hultafors is a sturdier knife all over. Just my thoughts
@@wtfmrb293 yes totally agree with you on your thoughts of the two knives, I could perform open heart surgery with my Mora, you can get them scarry sharp. 😁👍
@@TAIL313 Both good knives, depends on what for, I think the profile of the hd lends itself better for carving wood (crafting) but for the money you can't go wrong with either. I've been using my robust none stop for a couple of months now and it's a fantastic knife, I used the hd for year's and it's still going strong, so like I say the robust is a good all rounder but not as good at fine carving as the hd. Just my opinion.😁👍
Great vid. I started off with cheap gear and worked my way up. Robust is certainly a beast and there's some really good cheap saws out there aswell. Knowledge beats gear every time
Heck ya some match love! Not enough love for the matches these days lol. I think people think they suck, when it’s really them who suck lol 😂. I mean there is definitely quality of the matches to be spoken for, but it can take some skill to use them reasonably as simple as it sounds.
When I started woods camping ferrorods were rubbish and could only light cotton wool so matches or lighters were the only real option for firelighting, Zippo lighters would need constant refilling due to evaporation and I never found the BIC style lighter any good in wind or awkward spaces (lighting and teepee fire etc) so I learnt towards using matches, l always tried to stick to one match one fire, skill for picking the right fine kindling was definitely gained by sticking to this method, today's large kitchen matches are so much better than the old style small smokers match, I just wish they were strike anywhere.
@@RobEvansWoodsman It is interesting to here and see things from different perspectives, thank you for sharing. I agree with the one match method style as well. It’s good to be versed in all the methods. I had a spot of luck and was able locally procure some strike anywhere matches myself a couple years back. They are definitely worth the extra effort in finding!
@@KnifeCrazzzzy I have a few boxes of strike anywhere but the are small matches, the gonin the K&M matchsafe as it has knurling on the outside sharp enough to strike a match on.
@@RobEvansWoodsman You know I don’t have a modern match safe, I need to look into that. I have an old one passed down, and my current ones are two shotgun shells stuffed into each other. Not sure if you seen that trick yet. Learnt it from Dave Wescott in a survival class from him! Thrifty, and free! Hard to beat that. I’ve yet to test if it’s water proof. 🤔 it’s a snug fit so it might be.
@@KnifeCrazzzzy check out eBay, type in pill capsule, survival capsule, match safe and take a look at some of the aluminium offerings from China. A fraction of the cost of name brands like Exotac. I have a few videos knocking around on Exotac which are excellent but expensive.
Great video once more. I love my Estwing axe, just big enough to chop firewood in my garden now I am housebound although I do prefer my Wilkinson Sword branded Fiskers x7. Very cheap from eBay and garden centre’s, about £20.
A samurai saw is on my shopping list now, I have an old bahco saw of a similar style but it's 10 or so years old now. Cull, mmm, you want to part with your RP 8" survival knife ha ha
Great review Rob! I feel the same way about the Robust Pro. I think I own about 4 of them! 😂 I do hate the sheaths they come with but it’s silly to complain about it when the knife only costs $15. I did invest in a kydex sheath for them because I like the knife so much. And I 90’d the spine as well. Great knife! Probably the best knife under $20 you can get including the Companion, IMO. What do you think about the Hultafors OK4? It seems very similar to the Robust Pro and from what I understand they are very inexpensive in Europe. I have seen them on Amazon for around $25 and am tempted to get one just to see how it compares to my Moras.
I've never used the baco laplander, but I swear by the tajima gsaw... costs about half as much as a silky and works great for me! Can't compare it to the silky, have never owned one.
A friend of mine who's an arborist told me years ago that Silkys loose their edge quickly, I thought he was just a Laplander fan boy, years later and a lot of silky use and I think he was right, that cheap samurai saw flew through hardwood. I'm going to get a larger one to try out.
Love it. All of my camp knives are a woodlore or kephart style, I'm looking to try a traditional puukko. I'm in love with the Jelio customs but am in no place to splurge on one. Any recommendations on something more budget friendly?
When you mentioned strike anywhere matches it made me think of some Swan Vestas I bought for emergencies years ago. One pack I still have, the other I dipped the heads in melted wax to waterproof them which was something I'd read about when I was young. It seemed to work really well, I submerged them in water and they lit every time. I found them a year or two ago and they still lit after 15 years or so in a draw. I've never heard any of the YT bushcrafters mentioning dipping match heads in wax to waterproof them. So I have a question if that's OK, Is it a valid technique for waterproofing matches for a survival kit?
We used to do that back in scouting around 1963. Used to buy red tip blue diamond strike anywhere matches in the large kitchen box and melt canning Gulf wax over a Colman stove and dip the tips in and place them on wax paper to cool . Would carry a match safe from the Marbles knife company that when you open it there was a little pin holding on to a plate in the bottom so when you un screwed it and pulled the top off it would rais all the matches up for ease of use. Dandy little bit of kit. Wish i still had one. The matches never failed me or my father. Made hundreds of fires scouting. Those old fashioned matches were the kind that you could light with a thumb nail. Wish they still made them like that. There is a company in kiddron Ohio , I think call Lehman's hardware store . www.lehmans.com . You might like to check out. They make Amish tools and equipment like kerosene lamps non powerd tools and equipment that are great for camping. Rob Evens might want to chek them out as well.
Great video as always. I do it with all my knives from clippers (which i have broken) theough to my £200 knife I do with with my bushtool I got from a certain Rob Evans does it too. :) Are you or any of the Whelsh possie going to the symposium?
