You are so awesome. My dad and I love to was your videos. I like your knives and axes. Your tips and tricks are cool like wear you hide in a hammock for hunting. When I made this account you were one of the first I subscribed to
Couldn’t help but notice the giant spider crawling around on your hat right at 12 minutes haha! once I saw it I zoned out for a second and had to go back to hear what you said 😂😂
Great series Blackie, ever think of doing a video on Bowie knives? BTW I received my Uberti Walker and it's great, the fit and finish is awesome...only a few burrs to deal with. Your videos on the Walker were great in knowing what to look for.
i stop to watch tv in 2004. and lucky me 2005 youtube came. now i have 205 subscriptions. and they going up. you are a channel that almost in every video i give a like to that video. thank you for that . Keep it up Blackie.
Yup kukuri will do a great job for you as long as you don't over stretch its capabilities mine is a 1917 war dept one and has a longer blade it saw action in Burma in ww2 and was gifted to my late father by a gurkha at the end of the war the old man had a real soft spot for those courageous soldiers
Dam fine series. I bought a Cold steel Trench hawk to learn to throw. Dam if it isn't a fine camp tool also. And tough as nails, as it still don't get stuck as often as I miss. Hahaha 😆
Really enjoyed your part 3 of axes the one with the tomahawk in. Would like to see you show how to make a handle for hatchets and hammers and tomahawks. you've been one of my favorite Bushcraft prepping woodcraft camping videos, UA-cam since 2014 when I first got interested in Bushcraft. Whatever happened to the girls, did she lose interest or did you not have enough time.
Blackie I have a question regarding the Tomahawk....How did it get it's name and where did the American Indians get theirs from? Thanks for the series...Very informative!
According to Wikipidia..The name comes from Powhatan tamahaac, derived from the Proto-Algonquian root *temah- "to cut off by tool".[3] Algonquian cognates include Lenape təmahikan,[4] Malecite-Passamaquoddy tomhikon, and Abenaki demahigan, all of which mean "ax".[5][6
trade..the indians had war clubs..stone axes..when the colonist got here they brought blacksmith made axe heads and tomahawk heads..so trade was a natural.
@@greenhornfarmer3598 for the most part Blackie is correct , remember the Native Amaicans were still in a stone age culture and had no metal working knowledge, but The Algonquians in early America had created the tomahawk. Before Europeans came to the continent, Native Americans would use stones (most likely napped flint ) attached to wooden handles, although many War clubs were not much more than a rock secured with strips of rawhide to a wooden stick. The tomahawk quickly spread from the Algonquian culture to the tribes of the South and the Great Plains. When the Europeans arrived, they introduced the metal blade to the natives, which improved the effectiveness of the tool. Metal did not break as readily as stone and could be fashioned for additional uses. Native Americans created a tomahawk’s poll, the side opposite the blade, which consisted of a hammer, spike or a pipe. These became known as pipe tomahawks, which consisted of a bowl on the poll and a hollowed out shaft.[7] These were created by European and American artisans for trade and diplomatic gifts for the tribes.[8]
@@badhat3051 The tomahawk with spike/hammer to my understanding might have been based on the so called "boarding axe" poll/spike was used in european fighting axes too for long time. Most likely lots of them went to america in early days of colonization too that were just generally in all ships. Funnily those axes were sometimes used for same thing as some modern SWAT guy might carry tomahawk today as breaching tool. I often also hear the difference between tomahawk, and hatchet is the fitting method, but in europe such hatchets have existed too that you just slip the head on through the handle from bottom. I guess why that style was so popular in america was that both frontiersmen, and natives needed simple quick replacement handles.
Blackie, Sir: Not trying to jinx you, but...If something happened to your Kukri, do you have any idea what a good replacement would cost? Great video, Thumbs Up!!

For the weight difference you might be able to even carry a second head for the tomahawk that might be for a different purpose
true
Good job, keep up the good work Blackie. Love your videos

I had wondered about the holes since I started this series. Thanks
👍🏻🇺🇸
I always like the idea of being able to put different tools on my hawk handle like a Froe and a adze multiple uses

@@badhat3051 So do we know how the Indians came about them? Did they make their own or were they obtained through trade.

Coldsteels are good. Especially there blowguns. You should review one they are fun
What kukuri could you recommend now. I have looked at quite a few and have been hesitant due to bad reviews
to be honest i cant..mine is from many yrs ago..and like you i hear mixed reviews of current made ones
Blackie, what is the blade length of your kukri?
around 10 inches
it is a khukrihouse panawahl..
Blackie, Sir: Not trying to jinx you, but...If something happened to your Kukri, do you have any idea what a good replacement would cost? Great video, Thumbs Up!!
i got mine for around the 65 dollar range..and think they can still be had for close to that.
