    I am curently looking at this particular knife or at the casstrőm no 10. which would you recommend more ? I would use it for camping chores primarily. Nice review ! Keep it up, i like seeing your channel grow steadily! :)

    • @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen
      @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen  7 років тому +2

      Grega Lorenc I have reviewed both and both are excellent. I guess for larger hands maybe the TBS Boar, for smaller hands maybe the Casstrom Nr10. (There's a link to that one in the video description.) Also, the Boar is heavier, and there are pros and cons to both.

    • @blinkl182
      @blinkl182 7 років тому +2

      Thank you for the quick answer, it seems as i can't go wrong with either of them. Thank you again !

    • @bushcraftinguk8408
      @bushcraftinguk8408 6 років тому

      Grega Lorenc might want a smaller knife than these gor camping mate, go with enzo trapper 95 in elmax steel its alot better than both of the other two j terms of steel

      I'm sure you have most likely already purchased your knife. Which one did you buy and how do you like it?

  • @mmironworks80
    @mmironworks80 5 років тому +2

    I bought the TBS boar a year ago largely based on this review and it is great. I am 5 feet 5 inches tall with smaller hands and I just absolutely love how this feels in my hand. Just the right size and form. Very comfortable. I also love the heft of it. I feel this will last through a lot of abuse(it already has). Thanks for the review. Love the channel.

  • @BruceidaMoon
    @BruceidaMoon 7 років тому +2

    Absolutely cool. I am a woman (meaning by that I have smaller hands), but yet used to work with these and other types of knifes (I''m an experimental archaeologist, so able to work with larger - and rougher - tools, and this knife looks actually fine). It would be indeed a perfect give away. Let's keep the reviews coming, they are useful. Thank you, Bjorn!

    • @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen
      @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen  7 років тому

      Aïda Molina Thanks a lot! This knife will even function as a digging tool to some extent, as it is very rugged. By the way, what an exciting job you have!

    I've been trying to decide on a good bushcraft knife, I'll have to take a good look at this one. Reviews after some years of use are much more valuable that fresh out of the box reviews. Thanks!

    good to watch this video and hear your feedback after 2 years of use... I am eyeing off the military version of the same knife. Great videos, thank you so much for your time, wisdom and opinions Bjorn, much appreciated! Best wishes from Australia...

    @robg521 6 років тому +3

    Excellent review Very well explained,
    I totally agree with you, I bought the curly burch TBS Boar I couple of years ago and keep it in the truck so it always available.
    I am so happy with it that bought a 2nd one (with the walnut handle which is beautiful) that I keep at home in my spare bug out bag.

    • @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen
      @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen  6 років тому +1

      I have two of them as well, and a friend of mine (he's in my latest video) also has one. They are great all round bushcraft knifes and I've never had them fail me.

  • @madmarshman
    @madmarshman 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the review, I'm about to invest in a boar. Just so you know both the stainless and carbon steel boars now have 4mm blades, if you want a big boy the grizzly is a massive 6mm.

    @AnTuagh 7 років тому +1

    I have never actually owned a knife aside from my pocket knife. I have a great Swiss knife with a walnut wood casing I got while in Switzerland but never had anything bigger. I usually take a hand axe with me for cutting/splitting wood when I go camping but the knife looks super useful too now seeing it in action!
    Cheers, Bjørn!

    • @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen
      @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen  7 років тому +2

      Jamie Keddie You're not the only one going for the axe+folder option, and I can see many reasons for skipping the bushcraft knife all together. However, I feel a bit "naked" without a proper knife!

  • @theblissfullone

  • @plopploop6053
    @plopploop6053 7 років тому +2

    The carbon version is better for whittling as its is slightly thinner its is also tougher has better edge retention and is a lot easier to sharpen... Although it can rust but as long as you can are care of it you should be fine!

    • @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen
      @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen  7 років тому +1

      When it storms, as if often does during fall, we actually have a salty taste and smell in the air. The woods here are very close to the sea, so many prefer the stainless option here. I have the carbon version as well - it's a bit of a project as I'm putting handles on it. Might be ordering some bog oak for that.

  • @rayowtoutdoors3459
    @rayowtoutdoors3459 7 років тому

    nice video Bjorn.
    I would like to say a few words about the same knife but in the high carbon, not stainless steel which comes in 4mm rather than 5mm, not as good of a splitter but a bit better for carving etc. I found the steel to be of a very good grade, although reasonably sharp when purchased does need some work. the scales on my own knife were mismatched to a degree I made my own to replace them , and shrunk on the tang after a couple of weeks. The sheath is average I got he dc4 version. I'm only writing this honest opinion so other people will not be disappointed as I was with mine for the money I paid my knife is now a great tool with no flaws. like I stated its a good steel. p.s. keep the videos coming ATB

    Say Heah Bjorn, Very good video. I stayed a little longer on our weekend trip, I was testing one of my combo Summer Knife Set. My Long Knife Combo. I had a Battle Horse Attitude modified and my Mad Hatter Machete, both have matching White G-10 Handles with Blue Liners. My Mad Hatter Machete even has a Scandi Grind like Colhane did on his Machetes. He is on UA-cam. The modified Attitude is copied off the Woodlore. I had it Slightly Curved and the Drop Point Lowered with a High Scandi Grind and White G-10 Handle with Blue Liners and Battle Horse did a Outstanding job making it. It's a Beefy Robust sort of Knife I call my Bush Craft Survival Knife and lemme tell you it's all the above. I simply love it and now the set. I had to put some final touches on my Mad Hatter Machete, but all well and I simply love this set. There's no doubt my Modified Attitude could serve as a Tactical Knife but it does exceptionally great job in the bush. Thanx You for sharing your beauty, Keep up the good work.,,.p

    • @tonyeden8381
      @tonyeden8381 7 років тому +1

      Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen .....yes that's the name......it's a little bit heavy for fine work but does a good job of wood preparation and light chopping........ I like the weight and it's possible uses in other emergency type scenarios and as you point out the steel is quite hard and holds an edge extremely well.
      My only criticism would be that when it came it wasn't surgically sharp and the grind was uneven but a few hours of reprofiling on stones remedied that.........since then I have used it very often only had to resharpen once with stropping keeping it very sharp.
      Thanks for your reply 😊👍

    • @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen
      @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen  7 років тому +1

      Tony Eden Sorry to hear it wasn't 100% on the edge. Mine was scary sharp. But I guess it's how it performs after a long time that really matters.

    • @tonyeden8381
      @tonyeden8381 7 років тому

      Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen ......it was only a slight criticism still a very capable and well priced tool.

    Super video som alltid, Bjørn Andreas!:) tenkte å bestille meg en slik en selv. Med slipesten og tennstål, barer bare ikke å bestemme meg for hvilken slire jeg skal velge; dangler eller den orginale. ser positive og negative sider med dem begge. har du noen tips? hva fikk deg til å kjøpe begge, noen favoritt? noen pros and cons?
    Takk på forhånd!

    • @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen
      @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen  7 років тому +1

      Hei! Jeg har gått for dangler, men jeg har også den orginale. Jeg bruker alltid dangleren, men det blir jo en smakssak. Hvorfor jeg kjøpte begge, antar jeg er fordi jeg gjerne ville kunne sammenligne. Jeg ser ikke egentlig noen fordel med den orginale, bortsett fra at det blir helt umulig å miste kniven ut av den. Og det er jo egentlig en stor fordel...

    How do you compare it with the Casstrom no10? I just bought the Casstrom no10 is Sandvick and although I love the feel, I find the handle a little thin and blade a little short. I was looking at these for the price and they seem great.

    • @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen
      @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen  7 років тому

      mermaniel I have reviewed both on this channel. Both are very good, but they're a bit different. The Boar is more substantial and perhaps more traditional, and heavier.

    Hi Bjorn, sorry to bother you with another question. Do you know about the online store Lamnia of Finland? I have never heard of them before on this side of the Atlantic and would like to make sure it’s not a scam. No pressure to answer, but it would be great if you had a minute for a short answer.

      @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen  7 років тому +1

    @Wolf-viking 7 років тому

    hey m8.
    you say that it's bits to deep. well try to put the knife at the lower knee point and, just gently pull the stick along side the blade. I swaer to will get the most fine shaves ever. it even beat my Mora. this knife is worth everything. the only job it can't do is food prep. you will have to carry a 2nd blade like miltotool or Swiss knife. beside that it is the best knife for the price. everything from craftsmanship to degsin yo performers. great vid. and great knife. for everyone who is looking for this blade, no doubt go for it. it is sick. it's like a fallkniven with scandigrind. maybe shappen it into a scandivex and it's like a god. no shit. sorry for bad English. have a wonderful and peacefully life.

  • @laciihasz4734
    @laciihasz4734 3 роки тому

    I really didn't like this knife. It's like a club. Very thick blade with a short bevel gives it a vide angle edge. If u like batoning and splitting wood it is actually pretty good for that. If u like to do a bit of
    carving it is kinda useless, too big and bulky for that.
    That's about it.
