Your collection is Beautiful my friend! Thanks for the contest and break down of their performance. I was thinking the Large Northern Hunter would win 😂 (just playing. I knew the Pukko would win considering it is best designed for the task). Looks like such a pleasure to get to try all those out! Looking forward to what you have to share next time.
Take care,

Yeah Puukkos tend to be pretty great with all sort of woodwork (well the good ones of course). Will do probably another test later as I left out so many interesting knives (and new ones coming in!).
Thanx for watching man! Have a great day!🌲🔪🌲
Some very nice knives there, for sure. I have the tommi on my list! I'm hoping to get a few more Finnish blades in general... I'm kind of on a puukko kick right now!
Great video! 👍
Oh Yeah! Puukko kick sounds great😀 I also have some new interesting knives coming in short while.
(btw. will do part 2 video probably, as have few knives that forgot to test) Thanx for watching!🌲🔪🌲
What was the name of your favorite one? Great vid!
Thanx! Knife is called Tommi Puukko made by Risto Mikkonen. Did also full review of that. Fantastic knife, have to say. Thanx for watching, and have a great day!
Fun video! Don't hate me for it, but I have never actually made a feather stick, as such. Certainly I have made many campfires and hope to make many more, but I have usually either used a hatchet to split kindling or just used the small, dead branches at the base of pine trees. Watching these videos and others make me want to learn to make feather sticks.
go for it, they are in my opinion also relaxing to do. Well maybe im a bit crazy, lol😂But yeah, I think everybody just kind learns their own techniques for them. Easy to do and Fun imo! Nice way to get to know your knife, like one subscriber well put.
Thanx for stopping by!
They are super fun to do . And you make your knife 🔪 skills better and like he said it’s very relaxing. Just start 1 and see how you are & keep going. All the best 👍🏻
@@shanesims2864Thanks!
My Benchmade Bushcrafter with my modified edge is the best feather sticking knife i have. I do have some excellent blades but for some reason it just has a perfect edge for making curls . Also my Ontario SK5 Blackbird , it too makes amazing curls.
Thanx for sharing!
Benchmade Bushcrafter looks like an awesome knife! Never tested their blades (other than few folders).
Have an awesmoe day!🌲🔪🌲🐺🔪🌲
I personally find that a puukko is best for harder wood but with very soft wood a full convex works better as the Scandinavian grind will bite too much. If I want to do some batonning, I prefer my full convex who is also better at food prep but for carving and feather sticks, nothing beats a Puukko. That being said my best knife for feather sticks is a mini tracker call the Shirley by Origin knives. It’s, by far, the most versatile edc fixed blade that I own.
Good assesements! Full Convex, when done right is probably my favorite grind with Scandi. Love my Bravo 1.25. Also my new Fällkniven Embla is fantastic! (Though thats not full height convex).
Thanx for watching, and have a great day!🌲🐺🌲
I’m assuming you’re familiar with virtuovice channels journey with Feather Stick knives...
No actually not..should check that one out
virtuovice has a similar taste in knives from a different part of the world. The man has cost me Lots of Money over the year’s...lol
Ok, thanx will definitely check his channel out! @@dlrmon1
Excellent review sir, very informative and educational. Thank you
Thank you!
And thank you for watching, have a great day!
very nice!!
Thanx for watching man! 🌲🔪🌲
@@OldForestBushcraft always enjoy your videos
@@jhtsurvival thx, much appreciated! Have great day!
Use the tip for fine curls
👍
When its cold and the sticks you got are all funky, I'm going with the scandi for feathers. I did this test with folding knives and was pleasantly surprised by some. I like making feathers also and everything in my collection can do it, but nothing beats those scandi knives. You don't have to concentrate, to try and catch an angle, they just go. Easy to find the angle, they don't cut in too much, the side of the blade just glides like a chisel and directs itself into making perfect parallel cuts to one another. Also helps if you can properly sharpen yourself. Everything I had out of the box paled in comparison to after sharpening.
yeah, scandis are in general very reliable in the woods, in many conditions. And yeah, indeed one benefit is the easy sharpening.
Thanx for watching, and have a great day!
Lol...that’s like trying to pick your perfect Woman! It does make me miss my old Enzo Nortic...
Hahhah you got that right😂You keep mentioning the Enzo Nordic😀. Looks like a fine design to me, they’ re apparently not producing it anymore.
Thanx for watching man!
You’re Tommi Puukko’s geometry reminds me of the Enzo Nortic. In trying to replace my lost Nortic I purchased a Brisa Tommi kit I’ve yet to build...would prefer to get one from a real craftsman...
@@dlrmon1 nice! Now after month of use with Tommi puukko, I loving it more and more. Just might be the pinnacle of puukko design. Will get couple of other Tommis in near future..
Tajusin että oot finski vasta kun lausuit Iisakki Järvenpään oikea oppisesti että äijähän on finski hyvä video ite tykkään. Itellä olisi aikomus ostaa cpm cruwear barkriveriltä tai jostain muualta käytettynä oon haaveillut semmoisesta jo jonkun aikaa mutta kun tuppaa olee tyyris
Joo ihan supisuomalainen😀. Kyllä noi superteräkset helposti on aika tyyritä. Omistan useita Bark Rivereitä, kyllä ne hyviä on mutta, hinta on aika kova!
Kiitokset!🌲🐺🌲
Sattu kyllä sopivasti vahingossa sut löytää torista 👆😂
@@iroironman9115 no niinpä!👍 Onneks lähtee loistoveitsi hyvään kotiin!
💪💪💪😁 i🙏
Man...Puukko’s are just not prevalent the US. I go search Lamnia and I’m overwhelmed with all kinds models and steels I don’t like or understand. Looking for a traditional style 95mm+ stainless or at least stain resistant blade with brass ends on the handle. Any recommendations?
Oh, a tough one! As also majority of Puukkos are carbon steel. Brisa polar 95 comes to mind. I believe they have it stainless. Eräpuu also has stainless knives. I would recommend also Iisakki Järvenpää puukkos. One of the most traditioal knife maker. But they are not available in Lamnia. (Would stay away from Marttiinis. Use to be great knives but have heard the quality has dropped. Could be wrong though) I'll let you know if something else comes to mind!
Thanks...I very much like your Tommi...
Moras are fairly common
Hello, in my opinion, you would have to use a new piece of wood for each knife. My experience has been that the angle of the cutting edge first has to adapt to the wood. If you make feathersticks with the GNS, then the wood is adapted to the cutting angle of the GNS blade. It then takes a little time for the wood to adjust to the Gunny cutting angle. I hope you know what I mean. I like your videos very much. Best regards.👍🏻
Yeah, definitely know what you mean! I actually never did this type of testing, just with maybe two knives. Should do testing more at home where I have very uniform sticks of pinewood. Also realized, I left some very nice knives at home, that I havent tested in a while that could make the list. It never ends with the knives, also some new one coming😀.Part 2 video is certain. Thanx for watching!🌲🔪🌲
@@OldForestBushcraft I'm already looking forward to the next videos. Unfortunately I can't understand your videos because my English is terrible. It is of course difficult to create the same conditions for such a test. But you can see that all the knives slide well through the wood. For me, the Scandi and convex grinds are the best for working with wood. I think that will be the case for you too. Best regards. 👍🏻
Yeah! Scandi and convex are great! Just out of curiosity if the English is not your first language where are from? Always curious from which part of the world people are watching! Cheers! @@robsteel4407
