G'day everyone.

I recently put a "Bushcraft knife" through some final testing.

Unfortunately prior commitments saw me unable to finish the final test in the bush.

The final test was to carve out a large scrapper (with a Billy notch) that would be used around the camp kitchen.

So even though I didn't get to head bush last week, I recently spent a couple of hours on the back verandah (over two days), using the Liten Bror & GB mini to carve the Scrapper out of a seasoned hardwood limb I had on hand.

Since these types of implements are great to have around the campfire, I thought I'd share a series of videos I took to capture the process.


First up, Notching, Fuzz sticks and Shaving

The next video is included to help give an indication of the limb that was used. The saw is the Bahco Lapplander and was used to square off the limb prior to carving.

You Rock Brother..... Love all your posts and vids.. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us....
 
There isn't anything wrong with practicing your skills in the backyard, it's a smart thing to do as many of us can't be out in the woods as much as we would like.
 
Kudos Mick for putting so much effort into your test. I couldn't believe the pile of cuttings you worked through. Impressive steel and heat treatment to hold up so well with that hard wood. Thanks for sharing with us.
 
Nicely cone Mick. Looks a stout handy little knife.

You just gave me some ideas for playing around with a new toy this autumn.
