Hi Tim! I’ve been using the Helikon-Tex “Numbat” chest rig. A bit smaller than yours, but that fact also keeps me from overloading it, which also helps with downward visibility. Has some nice features, great organization as well. It’s another option that’s worth a look if someone is considering one.
I think you told me about this in a comment a while back. Might have been on the Swedish webbing video (that was a while ago now). Mine is a little bit on the large size. It doesn't seem to affect my downward vision too much but it does get in the way a little. Thanks for watching mate and for the suggestion.
Hey Tim. Great comparison of two cool blades! I like how you mentioned the higher grind of the OK4, something I really like. I think an OK4 and a GK (one for wood and one for crud) combined with a Mora 1/0 is my favorite combo for hikes, but one thing I truly lack is a beast to protect me from squirrels. Thanks for a cool video on my question. I think I'll make my 1st graders watch it tomorrow. Cheers mate!
Hi Chris, you are teaching your first graders about knives? The mighty squirrel botherer found lots of animals to bark at yesterday. Then we went to visit freinds and she got growled and barked at a lot by something not much bigger than a squirrel. She is very patient with anything that she recognises as a dog. Will put them in their place if need be though and definitely doesn't like puppies very much 🤣
Two of my favorite knives on the title. I have a chest rig myself. Im trying to make it a survival type bag. Then my pack will change depending on my mission (for lack of civil phrasing) I love fishing along rivers- my other pack 2-3 day hike camping. Im trying to set the chest rig so i don't have repack everytime. That's how you forget things. I have a bag with water bottle and stove plus drink powder and coffee. I love my Hultafor OK4. Haven't found anything it won't do. I like the Garberg more after i re-did the edge. I wasn't a fan with its factory edge. After a half-hour on the stones its a different animal now. I prefer the higher grind myself. I also love the Coldsteel SRK-C. Anyone of those i would feel safe any place. Of course i was trained back before it was called bushcraft. Back then it was wilderness survival skills. Also went to a few survival courses. An did adventurer training as a boyscout. When boyscout meant boys. Lol. Just having some fun.
I think one of these would be great for fishing. I am thinking that a different chest rig for different activities (you can tell I have never been in the military, I don't do missions🤣). This one is duel purpose at the moment. Navigation and fire, well and mobile and some photography stuff. I also have a water bottle pouch set up for hobo fishing. Thanks for watching mate. Hope you have a fantastic weekend.
Thanks for sharing about your Chest rig and the comparison between the Garberg and OK4. I have a Garberg and although I like it, I prefer my Kansbol over it. 👍 Chimay beer is really good, btw. 😁 Take care my friend and Cheers! 🍻
You get Chimay all the way over there? Wow, and cheers🍻. It's funny how many people are saying that they prefer the Kansbol considering that price difference. Thanks for watching mate.
Thanx for sharing! I never used chest rigs. I have to get one really. Could be very nice for Fishing. (Well for fly fishing I have my vest). But for off Shore angling etc. And for other uses also. Went on my shopping list. Aaah the Chimay again. I looove Belgian trappist beers!
What you like Belgian beers, what about your beloved Sandals 🤣🍻. The chest rig is quite handy mate. I will try it for fishing next weekend. Thanks for watching.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft sandels is rubbish! It used to be one of those pretentious, "better" beers back in the day, lol. And with pretentious prices..lol. I LOVE Belgian beers🍺
@OldForestBushcraft I know mate ,just winding you up 🤣just an ordinary beer to me. I get the Pirkka ones normally ,I used to like the ones in the red cans. Don't seem to be available now.
I actually think I prefer the OK1. The handle being thicker around the neck works better for me. They really are fantastic knives, all of the hultafors. The only company of this kind that really give Mora a run for their money in my opinion. Thanks for watching Gruggs.
I am a two meter tall man with big feet, somewhat clumsy. I have never liked things in my shirt chest pockets as the obstruct my downward vision in rough country. No problem on roads, maintained trails and paths, I suppose. I prefer a small rucksack or hip or bum sack, easy on, easy off. Never used any of the bigger Mora knives but have made and taught how to make many knives out of the Mora 106 and 120 blades that are outstanding and do work way above their pay grade. I carry a axe for beating wood into smaller pieces and defense against things that go bump in the night.
I don't seem to have that problem, maybe I am walking with a stoop that helps me see over my chest 🤣. I would imagine it could be problematic scrambling up hillsides but it is pretty flat here in Finland. The smaller Moras are great too. For working with wood a short blade is generally better. Expecially if you have an axe. Thanks for watching mate.
It's a wool blend and was in the local second hand shop for about a Euro. I have found some real bargains there over the years. Thanks for watching Joe.
I love second hand store's, I like looking for kitchen knives to make carving knives. I have a good bit of sweaters from my local store. Everything is a quarter or whatever you can pay
The mora garberg fits perfect in the tops brothers of bushcraft leather dangler sheath. I actually buy the BOB sheaths for alot of my knives. Their made really well. Top quality leather.
Over here we have Brisa and Castrom that make good leather sheaths. The BOB ones are probably better, but I think they will be pretty expensive here in Europe. Thanks for watching mate and have a fantastic weekend.
Hey Tim brother ! ..hope all well my friend !! Bless Unni 🐾🐾 Sweet chest rig for navs.. and I do love a Mora !! Cheers to you as always and very best wishes too !! 💪 The OK1../4 look like cool solutions !! ..awesome !! Wey aye !! 💪💪👍👍
Cheers Andy, it would be a good place to keep Unni treats to distract her from the Animals. Maybe Jimmy would like one too. Thanks for watching mate. Hope you have a fantastic weekend.
I've got all those knives and find myself using the OK4 and Kansbol over the Garberg. The Kansbol is becoming my favourite knife. Must have a bottle of beer now you've put me in the mood . . . "Old Jock" , from Broughton brewery. Very weak , . . . only 6•7 ABV !
Cheers 🍻😂. The Kansbol does a lot of things better in fact everything other than being a pry bar. I actually really like the 2000 too. That actually maybe gives me an idea for my next video. Thanks mate.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft I've got the 2000 too. Just wish it had one of those "sunken" lanyard holes that the "Frosts" Moras used to have. Have a good weekend.
I am sorry mate but I can't remember where I bought it but here is a link to the manufacture page. brandit-wear.com/en/US-Cooper-Chest-Pack-Operator/8096.11002.OS Glad you liked the video and thank you very much for watching.
I remember someone telling me he needed to buy a second gun cabinet but couldn't because his wife would know he had been buying more guns🤣. At least a knife is easy to hide. Thanks for watching mate.

Was that a Chimay? If it was, it was from Belgium, but are there any decent beers from Finland? I don’t think I have ever seen a Finnish beer here in the States.
I like Lapland red ale but in reality that's not very Finnish. There are a few beers modeled on foreign beers but regular Finnish beer is quite plain. Compared to Belgian beer it is like sex in a boat, f##### close to water 🤣.
It always seems strange to me as I always associated that kind of beer with hot countries. Probably because I lived in Spain. I kind of associated cold weather with something dark and heavy served at room temperature 🤣. Not that I knew what cold was back then.
Garberg has the worst handle and the worst blade shape (Steep belly on the edge) compared to any other Morakniv. I much prefer the Bushcraft Black. Even the Robust, is a better choice, from any point of view. TH-cam amd marketing, at some point pushed knives to a wrong path. Others do even worse mistakes, making Scnadis that are 4mm and even thicker, poor edge and main bevel geometries, thick behind the edge knives and so on.
I think the grind should be higher on the Garberg. It's something that knife manufacturers seem to forget that as the blade gets thicker the grind should get higher with a micro bevel, then a secondary bevel until it's not a scandi anymore. I am fine with the handle myself but I think the Garberg is designed as a short pry bar. The Mora companion is a much more multifunctional tool.

Thanks for watching my friend. It's a very popular knife. About time it got some attention on this channel.
Have a fantastic weekend.
