- In this video I light a fire with matches the Mors Kochanski way.
First use of a gifted Swedish army axe, Mors's survival chosen axe.
First impressions of my new Fallkniven H1 and a bit more information on
the AGAWA Boreal 21 saw.
Fab video yet again, good to see Nick (bit disappointed he didn't say "goodbye Nick" 😅 I'm off now to try and find trading places to watch.
He said to me that he wondered if anyone would notice!
2:30 Mors's matches - full marks for the obvious answer! Thank goodness for Zip-loc bags!
Fire - much like I learned years ago, except we always had a layer of fine stuff between the base logs, for falling embers. Bit of insurance! ;-)
Axe - Total weight Rob? That looked like serious work!
14:12 "chopping wood is not energy-efficient.." Elementary, dear Rob!
Cheers Rob!
Can’t wait to see that project done🤜🏻🔥 Another great video Rob! Glad to see Nick again as well 🍻🌲
Your feather sticks are a work of art...
loved the match vampire
Great Mors Kochansy inspired video Rob! I think your choice of the Fallkniven H1 was a fine choice for this video and one that Mors would have approved of. It checks all the essential boxes he talks about in Northern Bushcraft with the exception of being able to strike a flint. He liked stout blades that were palm width and have a continuous sweep, with a comfortable handle that is good for the cold and no finger guard. The H1 has all of those features. True, it’s a bit too heavy to carry around your neck but most knives are. I carry mine in the leather sheath for my F1. It’s a tight fit but it works great and I like the flap that snaps over the pommel. I like to carry my Silky Pocketboy 130 with straight blade and medium teeth in combination with my H1. Together they will easily process firewood up to wrist thick.
Sensible choices my friend 👍
@@RobEvansWoodsman By the way, I was a little surprised that your H1 wouldn’t scrape a ferro rod. Mine actually does a decent job. Not as good as my Garberg or LT Wrights but it is serviceable. Then again, mine is laminated CoS so maybe there is a difference? I do try to avoid using the spine to scrape a ferro rod just because the 420J2 that is used for the outer laminate is soft and dulls quickly. I learned my lesson about that from my F1.
I loved the mors motif. That axe looked like a nice hard hitter...I look forward to seeing it go with stability.
Loved the ending!
Stay healthy brother
Another great video brother. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for making the video
Thanks Rob for another interesting, entertaining video 👍
No worries Dave, I'm glad that guys like you are enjoying them.
Heyyyyy Rob..... Nicely done!! U did Mors proud!! U looked happy to have company!! Stay well please...ATB...
Nick is my oldest friend, I hadn't seen him since my dad's funeral over two months ago.
I could do with seeing Scott (Welshwoodsman Outdoors), I haven't seen him since then either.
@@RobEvansWoodsman Hope U can find some time to get together!! Bet a dollar to a donut he feels the same about seein U.....
Great video! Many things to learn.
14:32 Excellent demonstration how to position yourself towards the chopping block so the axe will hit the block if it misses or goes through unexpectedly easy.
I love your answer why you baton with the knive: 'because I want to' ... that's the exact reason why I use the hatchet for batoning and only bring a neckknife as companion!
Head a bit loose at 79 years old, not bad!
Many modern tools won't last that long!
Hi Rob you are producing excellent and interesting bushcraft videos. Thank you for using such bold captions which are easy to read.Greetings from a warm South Africa.
Thanks.
Greetings from damp windy Wales!
@@RobEvansWoodsman I understand why my brother in law ,a proud Welshman stayed in South Africa after a rugby tour.He’s a Swansea lad!

Quick, easy and energy efficient fire-lighting method. Thanks Rob.
Looking forward to your next upload. Those "guide" type of videos might be interesting for larger audience. Like your feather stick tutorial, for example.
Cheers buddy.
got the fiskars n10
amazing axe and the resin handlepart takes away all the worries about damaging the handle while splitting
Great wee video; waited and waited for the bloopers, expecting a Welshman with Dracula matches in his mouth , and a singed beard ! Oh well, maybe next time. Stay safe.
Nice vid as always Rob, they're a joy to watch man, fair comment at the end, I'm always saying if you can't beat it it's only a piece of scrap🤷🏻♂️😜
Amen indeed!
Awesome ending Rob... 👍👊
Winds me up mate
Tidy vid yet again Rob. Nice to show the standard Mors firefighting method with graded twigs and matches. Keep up the great work!
Cheers mate, axe is now sorted.
I love it!
You are correct sawing is more efficient and chopping on the floor is the worst. Only thing I do is peg the log to be chopped on the floor so that it does not move and this does make it slightly better and safer. As the great mans says matches work well. Great vid and keep them coming.
I couldn't be arsed to make pegs mate.
Amen to your amen.
I batton with my knife when I have an axe. I batton with an axe when I have a knife. Because I love my beautiful, long, and dexterous fingers. I really shouldn't but if you permit me to stick my 2 cents in... I would get my feet apart just a little further and use my gut muscles(like I have any) to bring down the head with little more authority. It was wonderful to see you split with ease. Good vid, Rob. GO EVANS!
You make the best feathersticks on youtube
Nice film Rob....I enjoyed the twig bundle exercise and like the H1 too....and that axe certainly appeals. I’m sure you’ll show us the axe and H1 sometime when you’ve worked on them and look forward to it 👍
You'll see the axe very soon
I'm sure you have probably seen it, Rob, but there's a great video on UA-cam called something like 'Mors Kochanski makes Bush Coffee' (Karamat Ways, May 2012). It's interesting for the main subject (coffee), but it starts with a brilliant demonstration of fire lighting. No fuss, one strike with the ferrocerium rod and perfect progression.
Seen it Tone, actually watched all his vids several times, he doesn't come over that well on camera unfortunately.
The master, hopefully I can do him justice when I do something Mors Related.
Mors kochanski was an encyclopedia of the survival/bushcraft world mr. kochanski forgot more than most people will ever know he will definitely be missed
He changed my outlook on Bushcraft and survival for the better.
I had H1 in vg10, gave it to friend ,and got me a cos. Its a good knife . Have the PHK in 3g.
Nice video, and great choice of watch. My Seamaster still keeps perfect time after 17 years of daily use.
Ive had it 8 years, 40th birthday gift.
Fantastic watch, love it, it's time for a speedmaster now, I was going to wait for my 50th birthday but life's too short!
@@RobEvansWoodsman I agree. I don't have a Speedmaster in the collection yet, but now they do them in 42mm I just might.
I fancy the Saffire sandwich.
@@RobEvansWoodsman I have the Christopher Ward C60 sapphire. Ward make some great watches.
🤠 If they can't control their batton
Is early sign of Erectile disfunction
Great video as always
Really enjoyed the video, the axe looks awesome and would like to see it in action once you've re-seated the handle. Also interested to see the mods you make to the Falkhniven H1. Atb Malcolm 🏴
Axe is now fixed but I haven't done anything with the H1 yet.
loved the Trading Places skit, just a pity @Welsh Woodsman Outdoors wasn't there to do the Jamie Lee Curtis part . lol
The Swedish military axe that I'd was relatively similar to my Wetterlings Hudson Bay and it was painted olive from head to.. knob. Thought it was a great axe. Kinda sad that Fallkniven stopped producing the H1, always liked this pattern more than the F1. The spine on those laminated blades seems always relatively soft/rounded/finicky for scraping whereas the old ATS-34 F1s had a 90 degree spine and no problems scraping a firesteel or wood shavings.
Good old ATS-34, it's a shame that the spines are crap on these.
Fantastic sharpening choil on that H1. Other knife makers take note..
LOL best bits always at the end
I don't know whether to thank you or curse you for that comment!
@@RobEvansWoodsman LOL nice to see real people avin a laff makes I laff anyway !!
Like your channel :)
Very good presentation, sir. Nice knife that H1 though I prefer the F1. As far as I know, 3G has better edge retention than LamCoS but tends to be chippier. I might be mistaking.
One thing I'm not is a steel nerd , I really should take more notice of what the experts say, thanks for filling me in.
I have a VG10 F1 and a Cos F1 pro
@@RobEvansWoodsman Thank you for your response. I'm far from an expert. In fact, I'm a beginner who's constantly learning. I think steel is equally important along with heat treatment and edge geometry.
Nice one Rob nice looking little knife I’ve not heard of 3G steel? I’ve heard of 3v. I do like an axe with decent head weight makes life a lot easier when it comes to splitting. My opinion on battoning is it’s my knife I’ll use it how I want.....😂 but I’d use an axe to split down then if needing feather sticks or small size fuel then a bit of battoning is safer then using the axe just my opinion.
With you 100% mate.
I've only seen Fallkniven use it.
I have actually had two Fallkniven folders in 3g but I forgot about them, I never used them enough to make an option anyway.
Thought maybe that you were going to flambe some nose hairs with that match hanging out of your mouth over the open flame! Nice video! May hit you up to make another Mors tribute knife for me as I foolishly gave the first one to my Grandson as a family heirloom. Peace
Excellent video, as always. I'm currently trying to decide between a standard F1 in CoS or an H1 in Elmax for taking on overnight trips into the woods. Main use would be light batoning and feathersticks for firemaking. For a decent convex knife, do you have a preference between the two?
I'd go with the H1 in ELMAX out of those two options.
Batoning with a knife all comes down of philosophy of use. Some people want their knife to be the primary tool and method of their wood processing. Some people want another tool for that.
If you want to use a knife, that is one less tool to carry. If you want to use a hatchet, you need to carry a hatchet and probably a knife as well.
My personal philosophy is that if you have a better tool available, use it. If you don't have a selection of tools, know how to use what you have to hand. I would rather use a hatchet but I have no problem using my knife. I don't see why there should be this debate. Use what you like or use what you have. It's not that big of a deal.
Swedish matches wuld be the best. Solstickan the classic ones. Ax-when i was in army we just put the axe in a bucket of water a few hours. Axe where punichment for tank drivers, if they hit a tree they had to shop it up with axes, the whole crew, all nigth long, and of course it was not cause we had lost a tree, the tank and gun can be damaged.
Can you send me some?
@@RobEvansWoodsman was thinking the same, adress?
If they are safety matches give it a miss as I can get 3" safety matches over here.
Otherwise;
R.Evans
60 Princess Street
Llanelli
Carmarthenshire

U.K
I'd pack them really carefully, they may get confiscated by UK customs.
Let me know what I owe you.👍
@@RobEvansWoodsman 50 milimeter is standard, interested?
I appreciate the offer but I think that they would be confiscated and I can get large safety matches anywhere.
Large strike anywhere is a different story!
fair comment at the end
Pisses me off mate.
Which knife is best overall in your opinion? The H1 or the R2? Thanks! I like your videos! 😊
That's a difficult one, the H1 is bigger therefore more capable so I'd have to say the H1.
Hi Rob, thanks for your reply! And if you carrying an hatchet or an axe? You still prefer the H1 over the R2?
@@TimB1991 I think so , especially if the axe was bigger than a hatchet.
What axe grind did Mors prefer?
I don't know, sorry.
Did you used to be on Bushcraft UK,as i was a Knifemaker but retired after my Stroke,but i am sure i can remember you as a top knifemaker ?
Yes mate, I remember you too.
I'm a knifemaker but on top I ain't!
@@RobEvansWoodsman I used to admire yours and thanks,as like your posts on youtube and follow now as back camping again lol
@@berniegarland1679 excellent news mate, I had noticed that you hadn't put work out for ages, feared the worst.
Glad you're on the mend Mate.
👍👍Sound Rob 👍👍👌✌🙏🔥🪓
Does h1 usually have sharp spines? Why should they make them without? F1 have quite sharp spine.
My 3gH1 had a slightly rounded spine, the Cos Fallknivens I've had haven't got sharp spines either.
Thank you Rob. I think I will be able to try one H1 in CoS. Hope it has sharp spine. My F1 did. But the handle of the F1 is crap for prolonged use. Btw I have use a Nieto Terrano scandi one year. Awesomse spine, fit and finnish. But the handle is somewhat slim. Still beautiful. Got mine from Lamnia.
Re comments on the balance of mr Mears wilderness axe, I believe the extra weight in the poll is to make the twist technique work better like it does with a double bit.
Like this: ua-cam.com/video/7NfCAk4Mj6E/v-deo.html
(Apologies if I’m teaching you to suck eggs and you’ve tried this already)
I shall take a look later, I am familiar with the technique but forgot al about it.
Thanks for that.
It wouldn't be wrong to point out that using a field knife to split smaller would for fires is safer and more controlled than using an axe for the occasional user. Most of people don't use an axe more than once or twice a year. Other than in the extremely rare survival episode the rare broken knife is way better than the rare chopped hand or shin.
Spot on James, axes are pretty dangerous in untrained hands.
My next video is all about battoning with a knife, filmed it yesterday.
Agree fully, battoning with a knife much more controlled. As ever, great video Rob.
You make an excellent point regarding safety!
Mind you, I still use the hatchet (GB wildlife) for splitting smaller wood, but I do baton it because that is safer!
That's a Kölefors Bruk axe.
Thank you, I just googled them.
I really like it.
If your'e interested you can find old Swedish military axes at flobyoverskottslager.se
Thanks, I'll take a look.
Bloody 'ell........ Why are you using an Axe, when you have a perfectly good knife to baton with? No wonder those three muscatels gave you a thumbs down....... again. Say "Goodnight Whiskey" :D
You crack me up Doc.
