    If you make a review about a knife, please make sure you speak about the grind, in this case convex, quite rare among pocket knives. That's important because it will affect sharpening.

    I've been using an Opinel No. 9 carbon steel for ages, and it has never let me down. It's easy to keep razor-sharp and a little drop of oil now and then will keep corrosion at bay.

    I tested this out this past weekend, some positives I have with this: Very compact and lightweight for the size of the fire it allows. Large surface area to cook on, I used a 12" skillet with no rack and had no problems resting it on the grill. Easy to move slowly to adjust for wind capture, but I did accidentally dump my coals when I lifted one leg too high. Very stable when legs are opened fully. Convenient rack hook tool, but I used tongs instead. some negatives I have with this: I feel there should be some ventilation on the sides other than the 8 holes. In some wind, the flames shoot out the holes. It bent "overloading" this above the arches for high flames. As expected, easily bent back flat when cooled. The case is very snug, almost ripping the seams. It would be nice to lock legs during use.

    They have a fatal flaw though. The aluminum plate only contacts the material on two of the riveted sides. But through the center. It’s about 1/8” give or take raised. Least on the one I got years ago. An seems like paleohikerMD on UA-cam had just the same issue. That’s why his burned through the bottom on a msr stove. There’s no heat transfer happening in the center so there’s nowhere for the heat to go. Except heating the plate until it warms or makes a hole. The little contact on two sides. Just isn’t enough to stop that from happening. Han it been pulled tight before the plates were attached it probably would have been fine. Or if they had placed a center rivet. It would’ve alleviated that problem. So these things have that one major design flaw. I stumbled across his video today and rewatched it. An dug mine up and that’s what I had going on with it. An it was one of the early ones. So I’m sure many others were the same way. And looking at their site. They most likely never changed that issue

    I bought something interesting this afternoon. It looks like a small candy bar. It's called a Fire Buddy. It was R10 which works out about 50c American. You light the wrapper. I've got 2 lighters, matches in a TicTac box. I have a tiny container of Vaseline with cut-off Q-tips embedded in it. There's a pair of tweezers to handle it. There are fire strips cut from waxed cardboard milk cartons - dunno why I've never seen these on UA-cam - I cut them about 12mm wide and 7cm long. You light them and use them as an extended match and they are hard to blow out. I have some cotton make-up pads soaked in melted Vaseline and coated with candle wax. A tealight candle and 4 birthday candles. I want to get a ferro rod and I want to get a small container of Permanganate of Potash. I'm going to need a bigger pouch...

Heavy Companion, I tried my best to get the handle to break off the half tang or maybe its a 3/4 tang, batoning? ahah. It can't be done. Use it, Abuse it. Thats the Mora I know, I have some I'm not sure how old they are wood is rotted. I have a few don't touch, my other Mora's gimme some work they say.

    The butane lighters will also be tough to get to work very well when it gets really cold. You can warm them in your pocket of other safe way to bring you up to temperature. At high altitude they can be uncooperative.

  • @briang530
    @briang530 9 місяців тому

    One thing i especially like about the carbon opinels in particular is the massive shower of sparks that the sharp corner on the spine will throw off of a ferro rod. It's particularly convenient that this can be accomplished with the blade locked closed.

    The Kansbol is the best knife for hiking and outdoor use. It is a great wood carver but also works great for cleaning fish or cutting food. And that profile grind is fantastic for so many things. Have owned Bark River and Fallkniven but sold them all and kept my Mora 2000 and later the Kansbol. Fun fact: the Mora 2000 is the standard issue knife for Swedish soldiers since the 1990’s. I don’t know if the army is switching to the Kansbol yet, but the green default colour of the Kansbol makes me think that is the case.
