Love how you always think outside the box. Keep it up. Two thumbs way UP!
Thanks Rouge, I appreciate the kind words Brother!
Rouge Scout19D I like your profile pic, similar to mine.
Rouge Scout19D If you ain't Cav.....
Rouge Scout19D my thoughts exactly
another great vid man, I've been thinking about getting a mora is there one on particular you'd recommend for a first time buyer?
People. Electrical tape turns into a sticky gooey mess. Don't use it on anything except wires.
Yeah the thin Gorilla Tape is much better and also nice and flammable/versatile. Just buy the official stuff and you wont have any messy problems.
Being Swedish I can't help feeling mildly proud of the Mora rep. Original these knives always had a red wood handle and a black plastic sheet with a leather "flap" with two vertical slits to pull your belt through.
I squared the spine on all my Moras for a long time but more recently have left the back inch rounded... even made it more rounded. I still have plenty of sharp spine to work with and my thumb really thanks me for not having to push on those sharp edges in long carving projects.
Sew an inch wide leather ring together for your thumb. Helps a bunch
Hi,
For starters, fun video.
I'm also a morakniv fan. Try the morakniv bushcraft black. It's a carbon steel knife with a pre-ground 90-degree spine. It even has an option to get a different case with a 3/8 diameter ferro rod and a diamond file to maintain the edge (a close personal favorite next to my Gerber Strongarm - see my video review).
As a kid in the scouts, the way that scouts are taught to deal with unraveling ends of rope are typically one of two ways:
1) Fusing - cordage ends with unnatural, plastic fibers such as nylon, polyester, polypropylene rope can be melted with a flame to prevent the cordage from unraveling.
Typically, you tape the end to be fused. Cut through the center of the tape with a sharp knife or sharp scissors. Finally, melt the end with a flame to prevent the end of the cordage from unraveling (such as paracord).
2) Whipping - Natural cordage made of plant fibers (such as manilla), vines and/or inner tree bark need to be whipped on the end to prevent the cordage from unraveling. Natural cordage won't melt. Instead, it will only burn.
See link below for a child like explanation:
meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Whipping_and_Fusing_rope
Fusing and Whipping cordage (aka rope) has been taught within the Boy Scout for over 70+ years.
I'm pretty sure you understand what I just wrote above. I write it as such for others that don't understand.
The method of tying rope over the handle is identical to whipping the end of a random length of manilla rope.
That same method (whipping), has been used to add a comfortable handle on walking sticks, knives, hand saws, shovels, rakes, striking tools (such as axes, machetes, kukris, mauls, picks, bush axes, pick axes, maddoxes, hammers, hatchets, etc), and many other tools.
Electrical tape proves to be a bad idea in the long run. After a week in the sun on a hiking excursion, the electrical tape slowly slid of the handle leaving a messy, sticky adhesive residue behind on the sheath. Easy enough to remove at home with some Goo Gone adhesive remover and some paper towels. But, during the outdoor excursion, it made things difficult to work with since all the dirt and grime kept sticking to the sheath. Plus the adhesive stuck on my clothes and my gear (since the knife was attached to my belt).
Firestarters: 2 inch plastic straws pieces packed with bacentracin soaked cotton balls sealed with a flame served a dual purpose as a fire starter and wound treatment on the go. It doesn't hurt to add a few benedryl and a few immodium AD pills/tabs in the straws to battle allergic reactions and messed up stomach issues due to bad water or meal related issues.
If you're looking for a dark patina in under two minutes, try Birchwood Casey Super Blue. It's used for darkening gun metal. Works great on carbon steel. It doesn't work on stainless steel, though
The corrosion coating placed on stainless steel would prevent most patinas from adhering to the steel. See below:

oh wow !!! thanks... we didnt know that existed .... *eye roll* dolt
I Love these little DIY mod projects that I can do while sitting around at home..... watching mod videos on yuotube...haha
For the fire steel, find a pen or marker tube, really any kind of plastic tube that fits nicely, then use some extra tape for retention, works much better because it won't cave in under the tight wrapping when you pull the steel out. Other then that I did one very similar to yours, love the way it came out!
Sootch use bicycle tyre inner tube, cut it into 1.5" lengths put it around the sheath and you attach ferro rods and other items and the rubber keeps it tight and flush against the sheath, super secure, dirt cheap.
mwnciboo what size tube?
ranger bands are great but his route gives you some added cord thats always on you
I agree, Ranger band on the other hand makes great tinder!

I did a similar addition of little gear items to my sheath, and the ranger bands went underneath everything. I didn't have them hold anything, but I've learned that they're very nice to have for later.
I have had a Maura knife for over 10 years and I love it. I bought it when I was living overseas because it was touted as being one of the best outdoor light weight knives you could buy. If it was good enough for the Swedish military it was good enough for me. A lot of people don’t like the Cheese but I actually think they’re all right. Obviously a flat sheet would probably be better but they have their own way of doing things. I recently modified mine originally I did not have para cord wrapped around it I had done something different with it. I had heard about the trick of using a bicycle tube cut down and then wrapped around the sheets. I took it a step further and slipped it over the whole thing then split it at the end and taped it. Also to hold the fire steel in place or the feral rod which ever you want to call it, I used a small short section of rubber tubing that was left over from a windshield washer line repair that I had done on my truck. It worked great. Because it is rubber it is flexible and waterproof and of course it’s a little bit snug so it holds the feral rod in place really nicely. Everybody has their own way of doing it I mounted my feral rod on the outside of the sheets rather than the edge.
I also tied the feral rod to some elasticated shock cord and tucked in underneath some of the para cord so that I can remove it without fear of losing it especially if it’s dark outside. Even though the head of the feral rod is bright orange and used to go with my Gerber knife you can still usually lose them in the dark. I really enjoy your channel just recently moved to South Carolina myself God bless America.
Thanks for sharing this!
I'm including a Coghlan's Pocket Saw with mine. Also winding a good amount of fishing line around it (with extra hooks, etc.) so the sheath can be used as a hobo fishing reel in a pinch.
I just use ranger bands cut out of bicycle inner-tubes to hod a Ferro Rod. Also I wrap Jute Twine around the sheath (poor man's Fire Cord). I really like how the blade came out that you soaked in heated vinegar. Love that dull gray finish! The hair band idea is great. Thank you for another great video and the ideas!
I have all types of so called bushcraft/survival knives. Of them all ,it's the moras that are the most comfortable and versatile to use. My clipper has been hammered through wood , bone and still going strong. Enjoyed your vid.
I have done similar to my many Moras. I do a more decorative paracord wrap the enables me to increase the footage and instead in electrical tape I use 1'" Gorilla tape, which also is very useful. I quit bothering to put mustard patina on the scandi grind because when you hone it removes the patina anyway. Excellent information!
Thank you for saying that you really like carbon steel! Too often I hear guys complain about the patina that naturally occurs with normal use. They seem to think that it's a cheap knife if that happens.
Sooch, I just simply stuck my Mora Knife into a large Lemon and left if for about 45 mins. Fantastic Patina and Dawn Dish soap and Water to clean before I inserted the knife into the lemon and after it came out. So far, this patina has lasted for 4 years, and no rust. It sits in my truck till I grab my bag and go to the woods on a whim. No problem. I also did the flat grind on the spine of the knife and sanded the burs before I did the patina process. I also did a large sail needle on the back side under duct tape. (didn't use electrical tape but might in the next re-do. Love the firesteel retention trick, I'm headed to the bag now to re-do my mods...LoL Thanks
I like how you used the button nub on the pro c knife to hold that fire steel band. I like to put ranger band on the end so the paracord doesn't unravel, it likes to slide down towards the end of those skinny sheaths. Mora's are awesome fun knives and making them into a full rig is a cool low cost gift to give to family and friends.
I have my great-great grandfathers Puuko from Finland, it is engraved and awesome
Trick of the trade for those who never done this, great review, Keep up the good work.
THANKS FOR THE TIPS. I JUST WRAPPED ALL THE SHEATHS ON MY MORAS.ANOTHER THING I LIKE TO DO TO MY FIXED BLADE SHEATHS IS, I GET NYLON POCKET KNIFE POUCHES, BUTTON AND VELCRO STYLE, AND I ZIP TIE THEM TO THE FIXED BLADE SHEATHS. THEY MAKE GREAT UTILITY POUCHES FOR EXTRA SUPPLIES LIKE BAND AIDS, LIGHTERS, TWEEZERS, CHAP STICK. ANTI BIOTIC OINTMENT, BURN CREAM, NAIL CLIPPERS, SMALL BOX CUTTERS, EXTRA BLADES,JUST TO NAME A FEW THINGS IT SOUNDS LIKE ALOT BUT YOU CAN FIND ALL OF THESE THINGS IN SMALL SIZES TO FIT A FOLDING KNIFE POUCH JUST A LITTLE BIGGER THAN A CIGARETTE BOX.
Great video sir. I'm really liking your Mora series. I own six Moras and I see a lot of value in what you've been presenting in your vids. You've given me some great upgrade projects to start. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I love your channel I have learned a lot of great things on here I just wanted to thank you for your clean content and the way you conduct your self on here. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this or not but I appreciate what you do so keep up your GREAT WORK ON HERE THANKS AGAIN . I WANT TO START A COMMUNITY OF AWARENESS ABOUT SURVIVAL AND NATURAL DISASTERS BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ALL BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING. BUT I don't have a lot of money in 2008 I had two major back surgerys and I couldn't go back to work so I applied for disability it took me 5 years to get it, I lost a truck and a car just trying to pay to utilities and food with no money it was a hard time for me and my wife. I finally got it after 5 years but IT'S not much money a month but it is better than nothing. I never thought I would be on disability being at a fairly young age, it's hard to make it on a fixed income. But I'm thankful for what I have I don't want anyone to feel bad for me just wanted to share this with you and if you can think of anything that could help me start the community AWARENESS I would greatly appreciate it.
About a week ago, I did learn to dip my puukko knife into some vinegar to remove some rust an clean it as well a patina,it's 80crv2 carbon steel, so now is goid,turned out really well.
That method of paracord wrapping I Also learned and mastered from Utube, and i have wrapped many AXE, tomahawk, hatchets, tools, etc with that METHOD, I DO LOVE IT!!
I just left mine in the sheath for a couple months after using it. It's black now. The looped paracord knot I saw somewhere about 40 years ago. It was a knot used to hold fletchings on arrows. I use it all the time. I bought a damascus full tang blank off ebay and put all kinds of cool stuff under the para-cord handle. I'm waiting on some fire cord to come and will make another using that. I think I would glue the paracord on with rubber cement. Honestly I don't think it will stay on. Maybe for a easy hike but not for what I go through. Great video , lots of good ideas.
Oh wow. I have the Companion. This will be a perfect little project. I like the completely dulled blade orange handled one. Good tips indeed. Subscribed
Used these for years in Africa on fishing trips, super sharp from factory
I really enjoyed the video. A couple suggestions. Titan Paracord - USA Made, veteran owned - has Jute (tinder), fishing Line, and snare wire strands. Leukotape great for blisters and/or Duct tape great for repairs instead of the electrical tape.
I was transfixed by this one Sooch, I have just purchased a Morakniv blade in carbon steel, and was thinking how rough the top side of the knife was - now I know! I think I may even give this project a go myself!
Just get the stainless version of the knife and you won't have to do anything.
I heard another TH-camr say his stainless steel Mora stayed sharper longer than his carbon one.
Some smart advice.
I just purchased my first Morakniv and now I'm thinking I may have to go pick up a few more and see what other types of configurations I can come up with. Thanks you for the ideas Sootch. 👍👍
Be careful John! It's addictive : ) Thanks Brother
I'll try to show some self control lol. You are always welcome.
Sootch is right...one simple can not have just one Mora. The Mora is a pack animal. :D
Done the same but with jute cord coated in beeswax for the whipping. Makes an excellent tinder as well. Apologies if anyone e has mentioned this before
Brilliant video.
Hairband blade handle retainer is so simple yet so smart... Great video
I’ve seen lots of mods for the mora and other knives and I love the ideas people come up with
The one knife sheaths I haven’t seen many mods on is the LMFII these is a Sheath that looks like it’s made for modifications
I am currently working on what I feel are some great additions to the Sheath
Thank you and all the other moders for the inspection 👍🏻👍🏻
Great mods, and easy to do. I just attached a fero rod to my new Bark River Bravo 1 (new Bravo 1's have no fero rod loop on sheath). I used a Sharpie marker housing cut to about 2" and attached to sheath with ranger bands. Shock cord keeps the rod in place. I didn't want to do anything that would mark/damage the great leather sheath BR makes. Fero rod is on the side, and some tinder and striker on back side. I like the way you attached the firecord. Simple, looks good, and effective. Thanks for another informative video.
Thanks for the video. Just finished wrapping my Mora Comapanion with approx. 30 feet of paracord with firestarter and a small sharpening stone.
Mora is the sharpest knife right out of the box that I've ever bought.
This is a great thing to have at all times. Thanks, Sootch!
Good tips on patina. It took me 45 years of use to get my high carbon @Western blade to look like that. Could have saved myself a lot of time:)
The Morakniv Bushcraft comes with and integrated striker and a sharpening stone plus it’s carbon steel and has a ground spine for striking. It’s like they watched your video and took all your modification ideas. I have it. It’s a great knife.
Hello From France,
Thanks for this video!! I've just did it on my Mora Robust. The result is quite good :)!!
Maybe darker than I want but really good aspect! My Robust stay around 10 hours in a cloth soaked with apple cider vinegar after encourter French mustard around 1 hour (and wash before second treatment).
Same things for the knife case, really good result haha :)
Shame that I cannot post a pics on my youtube comment.
These are some awesome mods. I love your videos and have learned a great deal from them. Thank you and keep up the awesome job!
I'm needed survival videos but years has some of the very best of seen and you're in the things you seem like you're Clairvoyant and if you know what I want to see. I passed your side on the all my friends and my brother-in-law who's into survival stuff really well thanks for all these tips keep them coming especially the other uses for household items.
Thank you👹👺💀👍
I have a Mora and other than squaring up the spine, I never felt a need to modify it. I have seen one or two other videos where the maker is doing what you are doing. I guess if one feels pleasure in doing this, then it's OK.
2023. I have a Mora "Light My Fire" knife and a Companion "Spark" knife. Each has a 90 degree spine and comes with the ferro rod stored in the handle. Pretty cool.
Thx sootch. The rubber band / hair tye retention is brilliant
This was probably the 4th or 5th video of yours that I watched (I could tell that I was onto something...) and I absolutely LOVED it!!!
As recently as 3 months ago, I had purchased my first Mora Companion knife (after hearing about them for years) from Academy for $20! As much as I liked the knife and the "Swedish Steel", I was hesitant add it to my BOB because it simply didn't do as much as my other knives.
After watching this video and learning how to do "more with less", I've got a feeling that this knife will be finding a new home in my BOB very soon.
WELL DONE!!!
Liked & SUBSCRIBED!
Keep up the good work & LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!!!
When I graduated from high school, I knew I wanted to start prepping,however, college does not leave a Lot or spare money. I bought a mora, maverick88, and some basic survival gear ( first aid, fire, ETC). For a while, it was all I had being that most of my extra money was going to food and water preps. Although now I am very well versed in my preparations, I still view my mora and 12 gauge as the cornerstone
Crimson Blue A Mossberg and a Mora sounds like a good combo to me brother!
For the myth that stainless won't strike a fire steel, it will, but one thing stainless knives cant do is strike a flint rock. Carbon knives, on the other hand, can.
I don't think that the issue is stainless. The issue is that Mora knives have a very slick rounded spines.
Mine has Ferro rod built into the handle and it's wrapped with about 6ft of paracord. I keep it inside my tacklebox. Its perfect for skinning catfish and cutting bait.
It's not my main survival knife ofcorse but I'll allways have it. My 2 main survival knives that I strap on for camping hunting or just shtf situation are the cold steel leatherneck and the SOG super bowie. Thanks for sharing n GOD BLESS us all for 2021 🇺🇸 we'll need it.
That method of paracord wrap was one of the first things taught in boy scouts.
Parallel connection...from connecting wood sticks one next to other, up to tide loose ends in canvas ropes
Yes, it's for whipping the ends of a rope. Req. 4b for Scout rank, which is the first rank these days.
I have Moras stashed everywhere. My wife was going through her kayaking gear, and said, honey, really, why do I need 7 knives in my stuff? I hadn't realized I had overloaded her, but hey, my baby, and wanted to make sure she had the ability to make fire, clean her catch, secure anything that needed to be tied down, and tie off any traumatic wounds.
I do tend to go a bit overboard.
LOL...you a good man!
Thanks for another great video. I do a similar thing but add a couple of #12 fish hooks under the electrical tape
This method of patina is awesome, thanks for showing that, your videos are always cool!
I think it would be awesome if you did a best of blooper reel for a video one. the bloopers at the end of your vids always have me rolling👍👍👍
How to screw-up a beautiful knife, while screwing around in the kitchen. I really don't understand why any one would do this. The knife will patina in it's own time, and look a lot better.
Exactly! He even says now it looks rusty, because it is!
It creates a patina that stops rust from eating in the steel over time, it works if you dont want to be putting oil and wont be using the knife much
I boil vinegar and dip the blade in it... That makes a patina
@@alessandrofirmani700 idk I did a patina on my bush knife years ago and I use it for everything from feather sticks and battening to game and fish and it doesn’t rust as easily as it did prior and that’s pretty good for north Florida humidity and climate
Just wondering, where do you live? Here in FL, humidity will rust your knife here sitting in the sheath. It don't take long neither. A forced patina is a good idea here and other humid climates.
That said, hot vinegar over mustard every day.
Mora is the Glock of knives.
Actually the Glock78 & 81 are the Glock of knives
Does it take Glock mags?!
Then that means the rat3 knife is the Beretta 92 of knives.
You can also use a piece of drinking straw to hold the ferro rod. I attached it with ranger band (bike tire inner tube).
Excellent instruction! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Realmente no me canso de ver esté video 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.

This may sound really weird but I added an unlubricated condom to my sheath. It goes: layer of artificial sinew (stays pliable but still has the sticky properties of real sinew if dampened), condom, water purification tabs, jute twine, duct tape to keep it all dry then a few wraps of tarred bank line, then the 550 cord. The idea is that I've got sinew for backing a bow and so I can tie on arrowheads, jute twine as tinder, bank line for snares and fishing, 550 cord for a bow string and making shelter and the unlubricated condom makes for an excellent way to collect water. You unroll it, slip it into a sock, and fill it up. The sock keeps it from getting so full that it bursts and keeps rocks and small debris from puncturing the condom. Toss some water purification tabs in it, and you're good to go. If you run out of tabs, you can actually set the sock just close enough to the fire to get the water up to boiling without melting the condom or burning the sock, though if you've got Birch trees nearby I'd definitely recommend learning how to make a water container/pot out of Birch bark before I'd risk my only water bladder.
Anyway, my little additions to your method basically makes a Mora companion into a complete pocket survival kit for fire starting, hunting, fishing, trapping, gathering water and making it potable, and building a shelter. It literally turns a $15 knife into an absolute life saving device.
Really enjoy your videos! They are very helpful and you always show us some great ideas and mods. Suggestion
: At the 9:30 mark, instead of wrapping a paper card around the fire steel use plastic from an empty plastic coke bottle. One can even make the plastic large enough to wrap around the sheath for more support of fire starter and water tabs.
Have you reviewed the Hultafor, Extremus, and/or the Condor Terrasaur?
Man that was great info. Gives me a lot of ideas for my new victorinox venture
Very cool Brother, you are awesome. I wish you were my neighbor, I pray that we don't loose the Country I love, I pray that your family will stay safe and Healthy, And I pray for are Country. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family
I think you have the fire steel set in there backward. Keep the groove outward. You could also mod the plastic handle on the fire steel to make it fit better. Still, pretty good idea.
Looks like a good sized knife to use as a eating knife to take with you to the go inside sit down restaurant. Of course you would want to have one that was dedicated just for eating with to make sure it was clean enough to use for eating, stainless model also to prevent rust and ease of cleaning.
Put in boiling vinegar then put on mustard. Mustard will make sweet lines on the already dark surface. It will even make some light lines between vinegar and mustard patinas. It makes for very cool tiger stripes. That's how I did mine. Vinegar then took a toothpick and made fine tiger stripes diagonal across it. 👍
An alternative to using the plastic and electrical tape is to use ranger bands. You can cut pieces of old bike inner tube for the bands.
Bought a Mora Craftline Hd last year. So inexpensive and what a wonderful knife.
I avoided all this(adding patina) by buying one with a Stainless Steel blade they dont rust, and if I did have to I would cold blue (used on firearms) it. I have a 550 blaze orange paracord wrap on the sheath, less likely to loose it. Mora also makes one now with the ferro rod built right into the handle .
Alright. Gonna go grab my Mora and 550 now... haha. Thanks for the video.
Just done this with the fire steel and water tablets. Thank you so much 👍 looks great.
I learned stuff here .. thanx … side note for carbon ,, cut a lemon and leave the juice on … makes a nice pattern.
I don't understand: why age the blade and ruin the mirror finish that could be used as a reflective device if a guy breaks a leg out in the woods and rescue crews are looking for you?
Der Robuste ist König. My personal favorite is the Robust. But we have them in all of our gear bags. Gut und fest. Good and tight!
Brilliant video, for retention at the top of the sheath i use a small piece of bicycle inner tube that way i have a good retention and a impromtu waterproof fire starter, just a though. Many thanks - Jim
A slight correction....the "myth" about stainless not striking a fire steel.....a piece of broken glass or even a rock with a sharply fractured edge will strike a fero rod.
However, what stainless will not do, is ACT AS a fire steel when using the flint and steel method of fire starting where as a carbon blade will.
Otherwise a nice little set up on the Mora.....
Right, though some stainless doesn't work at all well with a fire steel. Regardless, the real myth is that it's a good idea to put a ninety degree spine on a knife you'll use for carving almost all the time. It's a very bad idea.
And more carbon steel is soft enough that a fire steel can sometimes blow a pretty good chunk out of the spine.
Just got my first Mora before Christmas. Looking forward to making some mods to mine. Thanks for sharing!
I removed a small thin fero rod from a magnesium block type starter .wrapped tiny piece of duct tape on end for grip ..drilled a hole in my mora "companion" grip ..and inserted into the end of grip ..protrudes only 1/4 in .out back of grip
I was fishing at one of my spots n my roommate found the knife like the one with the green holder n I have it with me every time I fish n now thanks to u I can customize it right
stAyd hookd
i really like theese costumizations ! keep up
electrical tape = the stitches of the backwoods when the super glue runs out (atleast around here)
Carry a few sheets of Tegaderm!
Great ideas. Simple clear instruction. Great video.
I've got to add a patina, thinking of combining boiling vinegar and then using mustard for writing. Thanks for the inspiration :)
I tape an old 303 brass case to my mora and the ferro rod fits very nicely
Oooooohhhh.. a survival sheath..... Waoooooo...
So much better than a plain old everyday sheath.... which wouldn't help you survive.
I like some of your mods . Maybe add a quart size ziploc bag for water carry, purification ,glue on a fine grit piece of wet/dry sand paper to help keep it sharp ,if not to bulky a sheet of foil for making a hot drink container, small whistle on lanyard ,keep the stainless blade shinny as a signal device also .hydration and thermal regulation with the right mods you can have at least some of your needs meet in just what on your knife
People don't seem to understand that not all rust is equal. You really need to dip the knife in vinegar overnight if you want a really solid patina though.
I carry a couple Mora Companion HDs in my hunting pack. Great knife to have in the back country of northern Ontario.
Holy Crap TH-cam unsubscribed me! Glad I found you again!
I always force a patina on my carbon steel knives! Great video Sir.
Why? A forced patina isn't anywhere close to being as good as a natural patina. Develop some patience and put a patina on your knives that aren't just pretty, but that really will protect the steel.
excellent video: just received mu first Mora. After a trip to the Colorado Rockies, it is now my primary pack knife. SWC, quality. It would be nice if US knife companies would offer a knife series to compete with the Mora's. For the price, it is impossible to beat. JSOG6 PS: Sensible Prepper (AKA Scooth00) produces excellent informational videos- you can tell he loves doing what he does.
Quirky brand makes band that comes in different sizes and has a hook that fits a 5/16 ferro rod perfectly. I got some from ebay.
I love my moras. Thanks for this great idea
Moras really are fun. You can take the 511 and trim off most of the finger guard and some of the butt nub on the handle, drill some holes and run lanyards, and ... voila! A Mors Kochansky puukko! All for less than $15.
Hi Sir I have used mustard on my knife along time ago and I mustard rust my muzzler loader barrel
If you can find it. Radio shack used to have a circuit board etching acid that works great to acid washing blades.
Awesome idea, thanks for sharing. Project time!
Looks like a fun project with my grandson
Great vid ,liked the at u flattened the back of the knife . Will do that to all of my knives .. TKS
Awesome Videos. Ran across your channel a few weeks ago, and cannot stop watching! Awesome thought and great ideas. Thanks
What sort of card is this to attach the ferro rod ? A baking paper ?
