Great job lilly as always thanks for all your hard work
Lilly very good suggestions on the improvement of the Mora Garberg; one last suggestion I would have made would be that they strengthen the lanyard hole by maybe incorporating a metal grommet through the lanyard hole to support the plastic of the handle, then the hole could be used as a 'proper' socket for bow drilling with out any damage to the handle. That would reduce the 'drag' of the drill on the handle improving it's ease and success of making a fire. That along with your suggestions would improve the overall performance of the knife and take it a step further into being a true 'bushcraft/survival' knife....

Any news on the knife you are designing yourself?
You never go wrong with a Mora knife, they're top notch. Thanks for a great video.
I agree!
I would like to know how your own “Lilly” branded knife would stand up to these same exact tests?
yah but in reality, the whole idea of destruction test was poorly executed, we gathered no more info that the blade is soft, and will roll instead of chipping
besides that, there was no real conclusion or interesting findings
calls it destruction test, but nothing but the tip is really destroyed
if you are gonna make a test, and call it that way, might aswell make it numerically representable
@@darthtrump4428 I just bought this knife for $25 on a holiday deal from amazon. What tests would actually be useful in showing what it can stand up to ?
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel
This particular knife is of rugged construction, it literally cannot fail from normal hard use , it can hardly fail from abuse, showing that on video is not that interesting, as you never know the point of breakage if you never cross that line, that is why the only way to truly know what the knife can withstand is to break it, the breaking must be documentable, repeatable
especially if you are a yt channel and could repeat test with different knife in later video, making a chart rating along the way
it would be interesting to see:
tip strength test, nailing the tip into a sheet metal thickness a few mm
the tip break off test with nailing the tip into the log and twisting it off
bending test, with known fulcrum and force, how much can it bend before permanently deforming/breaking, what torque/force is required for that, (weight gauge and a metal pole of known length)
twisting/torsion test when the knife is nailed into the log, and torqued along the axis, this test is more important in folders tho
edge retention, with cutting something easily repeatable and countable, eg. thick jute rope (eg. 20 cuts) , then you test sharpness with cutting paper, this test is non destructive, test it with other known knives with known steels, make sure initial sharpness is the same , same person must sharpen both knives before the test
steel toughness batoning trough soft steel nails, always on the same spot on the blade, and documenting blade deterioration, edge chipping, again this test is repeatable if same brand nails are used on later tests and different knives
(if the nails are too hard, you can do the test with batoning thick aluminium wire)
im sure there is way more destruction tests you could do, those are just the obvious approaches with a more scientific background
Uh-oh, a Mora fanboy is upset that his precious knife was actually tested and its greatest wasn't simply assumed. You better run and tell Dave Canterbury.
@@profd65 nah you got me wrong
i want it to get destroyed, but make it scientific enough so the test can be repeated on other knives, so after a while we can make a nice chart
for such a savage test, it held up really well.
Excellent video, thanks for posting, really enjoyed it.
Thank you for this test and for your recommendations! As a beginner, I wouldn't have even known about the finger guard issue without your comment. I also like the idea of using the knife handle with a bow drill. Please keep up the great work!
Hi Lilly, good video on the Garberg, thanks for sharing, Rock On!
informative video, thank you SL!
I love when you're doing this ❤👍 introducing some new survival stuff that I dont know the function before.. impressive video
Great video thanks for making videos keep it going
Thanks for the video, good review. Hope you're well, take care.
Great video as always. Thank you.
By the way, thanks to your sharpening video, I am finally getting my good knives all razor sharp, quite easily, too. I have the two big Spiderco, Inc. ceramic whet stones, and have had them for years, but I was just using them wrong. Also, I finally discovered how to clean them easily. Like your channel very much.
Destroy a 100$ knife, you destroy my heart to💔
Another brilliant video by survival lilly! Thank you!
Thanks Lilly, your video's are a powerhouse of useful information.
Lol, the fast forward parts were funny! Good vid.
So excited for this!
I can't wait for my carbon steel Mora garberg to get here! Thank you for the video Lilly, God bless you sista!
Great video like always. Keep it up Lilly. ;)
I think you wore yourself out testing that knife! lol Thanks for your efforts!
Great review. Thanks
I used to like my Garberg, but now am disappointed and disillusioned because I realize it won't cut rocks in half.
Great Review as always Lilly. Your review of the Cold Steel SRK is specifically why I bought and use it as my main fild carry bushcraft knife and it hasn't field me yet.
If the goal is to destroy, anything can be destroyed.
Thank you for the review
I hate it when people torture Moras. I know they are tough, but they are beautiful, and I love them. I customize them as art projects. Anyone who wants to see just ask.
I enjoyed your review.Thanks Lilly.
You are so good at this! Thanks
Fantastic...thanks!
Great video! Thanks
Awesome,staying tuned 😊😉😍
You are awesome Lily!
excellent and informative. I'm ordering one.
keep it up! always a pleasure.
I liked the "high speed Lilly" footage!
great video, as usual Lily
Good review !
I totally agree with Lilly's improvements for the garberg both length of blade and especially the finger guards
I have this knife and so far I am very satisfied I actually settled on this knife after watching this video and realising how strong it is great job Lilly with this destruction test I really appreciate it and everything you do.
Well said! Thanks, 💚 your vids
Hi Lilly 👋 it's Jen from Australia... I have just started following your channel and I must say I am very impressed with the content in your videos..very interesting, you are very professional in your way of explaining information and your knowledge is outstanding! Loving your channel , thank you!
I think you would be a great asset in troubleshooting for that company if ever they wanted to hire your services!! Lol 🙄 take care 🌏👋
Love your vids, thanks for sharing. The bearing block is by far the easiest part of a bow drill to make. Try adding a pinch of grass to the indentation you carve on a wooden bearing block to lubricate it and stop it burring out to quickly, also sharpen the bearing block end of your drill to reduce friction. Use as a bearing block will destroy any knife handle quickly, even micarta or ironwood. thanks again. Steve
For me, the reason why this knife is so great, is the performance you get for the price.
Its sharp when you get it, gets razor sharp with under an hour of sweet love and attention, it holds it edge better then some of the more expensive ones, and frankly, it looks great.
I am getting another one, I will put a wooden handle on it.
It's is my fav knife
I love the garberg. I prefer to pay 80 euro's for the garberg then spend over 200 for another full tang blade
That's good information. As an American whose wallet isn't wider, I need to know the best value for the money.
I miss these 'In Field' tests. Hope you can get out in your woods again now that you're feeling better.
Safety comes first when it comes to fingerguards! That is absolutely true. I would tell Morakniv the same if I could.
Especially with products like a Garberg and knives that have a full-tang blade in general.
These destruction test are so sad and so interesting to watch at the same time. It's sad to see what the knife has to take but at the same time these things show exactly what the knife is made of. Very nice. Thanks for showing this. - Matej
Great video, thanks! One thing about knife handles, though. I agree that while anything that helps improve grip is an improvement, unfortunately grips with finger grooves, etc. don't fit everyone the same way. I have someone locally who shapes knife handles specifically to my hand. If that's a service that's available to bushcrafters in their region, I highly recommend it.
Good test Lilly. 👍
Nice review
Hi Lilly :)! I admit, since I absolutely love my Garberg, it hurts to see the abuse it gets in your video lol. I do agree on your improvement points though, especially since people will use this blade when everything is wet, they are cold and/or tired, a finger guard and maybe some parts of the handle with the more traditional grippy stuff, would add to the safety.
In my opinion 1 knife would tick all of your boxes: the Terävä Jääkäripuukko 140. I would loooove to get your opinion on it!
It's a good solid knife but I'm a bigger fan of the black myself for weight and grip
yes the black is marvelous :)
@@anxiousstacker7945 me too bro
@@anxiousstacker7945 is the garberg worth a 80€?
@@insanodeathguy2160 Most definitely,
@@insanodeathguy2160 I would say every mora is worth its price
Very well done, loved it !..
I love your videos Lilly.
One minor detail... If you have an edged tool without a finger-guard but that got a hole at the back of the handle, thread a length of paracord through the hole and tie it in to a loop with the front of the loop resting at the very front of the handle and the loop itself hanging below the handle with enough space to get your fingers/knuckles between the now two loops (one on each side of the handle) and the handle. Then when you grab your knife all you have to do is to push the paracord loop to the front of the handle and insert your fingers between the paracord and the handle before you grab it.
No chance your hand will slip on to the edge that way.
Morgan Viking good idea I will try it
Thanks, Lilly! Another great video. I'm still rocking the basic Morakniv Companion. I love it, but it does need a basic handguard.
Mora classic series has the 611 and 612 also, with finger guard.
You killed the Garberg, lol
thats because I am a knife killer Lilly :)
good to see you here love your channel
Lol so funny!! 🌏👋
@@SurvivalLilly if a company will send you a spoon, then you can be a cereal killer!!!🥣🥣🥣
Superb point on the finger guard. When you are tired, worn out, with cold, wet hands, you fingers will find a way to slip up to the blade. The first two things I look at when buying a knife is the steel and the finger choil
Only test left...is to throw it in the fires of mount Doom
Danke für den Test. Alles Gute Lilly
Those little sped up chipmunk noises are great :)
I don't understand why anyone would give you a thumbs down . You are inspirational for sure.
Great video Lilly! Are you going to sharpen it again?
Great destruction video!
Thank you for this video. I was trying to decide on a good BC knife to buy as a gift on a limited budget, and without videos like this It would be much harder to decide. For the record I decided to buy this one.
The 10-15€ Mora's will do the same.
I really value a good finger guard. Too many near-accidents with wet hand! I could not miss your teepee in the background. I haven't seen it in your more recent videos. The focus has been the bug out camp or the river camp. I would enjoy some new videos about the teepee, how it is holding up, how it compares with the bug out camp for comfort, weather protection, security, or durability. Thank you, Lilly!
For my not small hands the handle is just perfect and sitting very secure,im more than happy with handle, great knife overall.
With this intentional destructive test, what do you do with that knife now? Please do a video on how you restore that knife to it's former condition. Thanks for the great info and video. Johann
Great work! Now we wait for the battoning with an axe to go viral :)
glad it passed your test...I have one but haven't used it yet for camping :D...agree about the handle more bushcraft blackish would have been better...but I still like it
Walter Taggart, wait a while, soon there will be a carbon steel Garberg. It's already manufactured.
I know...I preorderd one!!! YAY!!! :)
This was my first mora.
Great review, glad to see you wearing gloves and protecting your face. I’d always want a finger guard on a knife
I have the Cold Steel GI Tanto and it is A BEAST! Great for batoning & definitely up to rough use in the field.
For wood processing, put in a vice and file down the top swedge so it is not sharp, this will make batoning much more efficient.
Hi Lily. love your videos, love you
The Mora Garberg and Pathfinder need to have a baby together - The "Pathberg"
lol
Great video! Hard to watch the knife abuse at times 😊👍
The suggested improvement mentioned at 11:31 is a good point, but there's a counterpoint to be made regarding the handle lacking a finger guard. Many people process wood (like sharpening stakes or making spear points) using a reverse grip (blade facing you) and they use the stronger leverage of their arm's pulling motion to do their cutting strokes. Try this with a knife that has a finger guard protrusion and you'll find it cuts into the webbing of your hand with each motion. So in that respect you will definitely prefer having the handle molded WITHOUT a finger guard.
Good point
Love the squirrel talk.
I love Lilly's voice when speaking English!! Too bad she's way over there and not in America good looking woman too I love ya lilly you've taught me some useful things indeed
That is definitely harsh abuse of that knife and it is built nicely and is designed to give the owner so many years of service under normal usage. For what you tried to do with it that knife would not last and it is ruined with the tests you did and most would not expect it to do.
Mora is a very good brand. I have a few of them and I'm very happy with the performance. Thank you for your review!
I got 10 mora knives! I got 3 mora garberg stainless and 1 mora garberg carbon! The rest are mora companion, Kansbol and the little mora! These knives are dangerously sharp! One of the best bushcraft knives you can get!
I was glad to hear your comments about the lack of fingerguard. Less experienced users would be wise to start out with a Companion HD or Bushcraft Mora, as you pointed out.
Also, Lilly, no AUT flag patch on your jacket sleeve?
Saw this on Patreon,good vid.
Hello from Vancouver Island! I just watched your video that you made here and I was very impressed. I was disappointed the comments were disabled....I hope you did not get a bunch of negativity! I am an avid outdoorsman and I think you did everything just right. You were very responsible and did a great job of leaving no trace!
I'm curious about what river you were on?
I Love the Garberg. This video was hard to watch because I Love the knife so much. But I have to say that I like these videos......it allows Me to see just how far the knife can go. Thank You!
*I use it to cut vegatables. No chips yet.*
Lilly you crack me up, my wife beats me harder than that. But, a good review, and valid point about the finger guard, have used knives during hurricane aftermath and challenging environments of mud, tree saps and even blood (fish, prey or accidents) and handles can get very slippery. Keep up the good work. dave in Florida
i love your videos. LOVE THE AXE destruction part of this video. Hey, it happens!
7:53 notice anything wierd?
@David Munir well now I don't even know what was it about.
Lilly that was brutal! there are not that many knives on the market that can take a battering on a stone - but a good test non-the less.
You should get the Mora Bushcraft Black and try it out. It's a High Carbon Steel knife and better in my opinion than the Garberg. You can buy it with or without the "survival package", which is really only a diamond sharpener and a ferro-rod built onto the sheath!
Great video as always. So glad you didnt destroy it completely
Thanks very good
9:25 You seem really concerned about the knife breaking and a piece flying at but you don’t wear any face shield or safety goggles while doing the knife destruction test.
a LILY WORK OUT VIDEO! YOU GO GIRL!! This test would be a lot different done by a 250 pound man. Changing the handle means changing the sheath of course. i made a belt clip mod on my ELDRIS.....''wishing Mora would take a hint, too''. That stupid leather strap is a two hand deal, my belt clip is one hand, and works great. Carry the Eldris daily on my fishing boat.
Nice job on the kniv
Thanks for the destruction tests. They are sort of sad, though 😉. Good comments about safety, too. Consider discussing how difficult it is to repair the things you damage, or if they even can be repaired. (If not just throw them away and I will take out your trash).
Good test and review, Lilly. Going just by what I see, I'm not so concerned about the blade length, since it appears to be designed more for skinning game and carving or shaving wood, and manufacturers typically do not promote batoning with their knives. I do agree with you, however; I would much prefer a more prominent bolster/quillon to protect the hand from slipping onto the blade.
My Mora Garberg serves backup duty to a badass APO1S. 👌
