This is not a katana where the blade is held in with a pin - mekugi. Neither is it a western style knife (yes, there are others too) which has a bolster to separate the blade from the handle. This is a traditional asian tool, built in the way it is, for reasons explained in the vid. In its form, it has served the people of our region for generations. You could build a modified version in any which way you like. But that would deviate from the traditional design and function. We choose to use our blades as they have been made by our forefathers as they are proven (with the small addition of a pin sometimes for the city folk 😅).

One could also just take a piece of PVC pipe, heat it, press it and be done. Would probably take 10 minutes and 2 bucks of material. This one is complicated coz I wanted it to be, for the fun of it :) Definitely would not be practical to be commercialized, if that's your angle, as folks probably would not be willing to pay for the time that went into it. Or maybe not, as a crazy amount of work goes into those hand carved sheaths with the braided rattan etc. and people still do buy em 🤔

I only had one. So.... 😅

Sure. Hope this helps. a.aliexpress.com/_oEuEqDr

Nobody. Anybody. Somebody. Lol. It's just that when I made the video I had not seen anybody talk about this particular combination. I even purchased the 103 bowl based on dimensions, hoping that it would work. However, since then I posted the vid I think someone has shared in the comments that somebody else had actually talked about it in passing but did not really go into the specifics, dimensions, interactions with details, etc.

@@BorealWilderness Not sure where you're getting this . I purchased one 2 yrs ago. and they are a top seller on Amazon. Numerous reviews.

@@marct9942 never said its not available or a rare item even. Just that it's not that talked about - the combination. You have to understand, the US is not the world. Amazon is not a global thing. The rest of the world does not use Amazon so those reviews may be common knowledge to y'all, but not to billions of other people. We (the majority of planet earth) typically rely on more global resources like RUclips and some forums...where mention and discussion of this combination was not common at the time of the video.

@@BorealWilderness I don't live in the USA, I live in Europe

​@@marct9942Same reasoning, my friend. Wherever you are, you are not the reference point. We all come from different places. Peace.

The mini is glued as far as I can tell. No chance opening it. BUT...It still can be tested. Just that you'll see bubbles coming out of the spout rather than directly from the membrane pack. The same can be done for the PointOne if you dont want to take it apart.

@@BorealWilderness At some amount of air moving effort, air will definitely move through the filter, even if it is perfectly sound. Do you understand how we might quantify that? Is it something like: the filter is failed IF 1. If you see bubbles at pressure < Xpsi VS 2. If you apply pressure Xpsi and see bubbles in < X seconds. I presume that this all depends on the tendency of the hydrophilic pore of a given diameter to try to resist a force that is trying to de-wet it? This would make me lean towards the first condition? I admit its not my field of expertise but I definitely would like to understand this better. I think the community would be grateful for a DIY test that can be performed with < $20 of personal effort!

I used an oven. Found that it's too hard to get a large enough tub of water boiling for large sheets. And heat guns are too concentrated to get a whole piece soft uniformly. Over a fire is prone to be singed.

I need another chair! 😅 If one comes my way, will definitely make a vid. When I made this I was going for a trip the next day so I just whipped it together at night and shot a few pics.

Would just a close up walk through do for now? I could do that, I guess you could figure out how to sew the bits together?

Yup, you are doing it right. Sounds like your filter is compromised. The the field that's what I'd do. At home, to be 100% sure, I'd submerge the filter facing upwards in a bucket, push water through it with a bottle or bag full of water to displace all the air, keep the filter under water, unscrew the bottle or bag, empty it, send it back down upside down to keep it full of air, screw it into the filter, then try and push air through it. If you are getting a steady stream of bubble coming through the filter, most likely it's compromised. Wouldn't do this in a stream or lake as the clean end would get contaminated.

Glad it helped 🙂

Certain profiles require localized deformation. The prices can't be softened in a oven...not without compression forms and whathaveyou. For a once-off, that's not practical. If done in a well ventilated area, its ok for the one off here n there. Hold my breath. Then step away and breathe. If I was doing it as a business, I'd probably get a smoke hood or one of those lights with a built in extraction fan.

Mug mana satu? Dalam vid ada bagi ukuran satu per satu. Website Toaks juga ada maklumat in untuk setiap produk mereka.

Yup, ofcourse, best to replace. It's just that CA glues are relatively non-toxic once cured but they are not considered food-safe by the FDA. So while the CA glue method would work in a pinch, an eventual replacement would be best in the long run.

Glad it was inspirational 😄

Glad to hear the vid was helpful. Keep at it a few times more and you'll be golden! I hope more people come across it and do the same for their filters. I see too too many folks saying their filter is "slow", then diss Sawyer n then chuck it and go out and buy a new one - usually something with poorer filtration specs just so they can get "much better flow". And they justify throwing away their clogged filter with...."Its just XX dollars for a new one. What do you value more? XX dollars or your health?", which quite frankly is not even a valid argument.

Yes, it comes with a beaded chain.

Thing is, they still produce both. So it's not like they are switching over to a simpler production process and discontinuing the old complicated one. The original rolled design is a little easier to flip up as it sits more 'inside' the mug (with the edge of the cover lining up with the outer edge of theuh) where as the new pressed design site 'on top' of the mug's rim (with some overlap past the rim edge). So the original design is easier to flip up...if that makes sense. But it's not an issue either way. And no, the couple of grams difference is definitely not something I'd advise anyone to switch lids one way or the other for. Just use what you have or what you like.

You are right, it does not. It's just a curious thing as one would think that the lightest lid would be shipped with the lightest pot. But with such a marginal difference, why even set up a separate production line

It's pretty decent. It has a good combination of edge retention and ease of sharpening. Well balanced

I didn't know that. Will try it out. Thanks!

Glad I could be of help. That's exactly what I go for. It results in a more dry video vs some of the other pumped up creators, but I try to answer... What I'd like to know if I wanted to buy the product but couldn't see it for myself before hand :) My MT45 is still going strong so I'm sure you won't be disappointed 👍

@@BorealWilderness I feel you have been a great help to many who are looking at buying this fire pit/grill. Your video is perfect, natural, raw and very honest review. I prefer your video over the pumped up creators you mentioned because you go through every little detail, right down to the welding points, bag stitching... the whole lot. Some of the pumped up creators focus too much on the video than the product. As a side note, the camping grill arrived 5 days earlier than specified on the delivery note. Although I have opened up and assembled the fire pit, I have not had a chance to use it as yet. Having said that, the fire pit/grill looks and feels solid and so far exceeds my expectations. I will have to wait till fire season is over (Australia has some strict rules) and I also need to source some fruit tree wood from our orchard so I can grill some meat (apparently fruit tree wood is desirable). Can't wait to put this little unit to the test. I'm sure it will handle quite well. And for the money ($129 AUD - on Amazon Sale Promo) I feel it is a very good deal in comparison to some other brands (Snow Peak) which from photos looks like slightly thicker gauge steel but also retails at $595 AUD and I think that is without the fire grate. Also their actual cooking grill is made from steel which has been chromed, reviews mention it often rusts and very hard to clean due to it's square patern. ps your velcro being short is something I experienced on my end too, the same thing. Also good to know that the bag has an actual slot for the cast iron grate, I actually didn't notice that until rewatching your video just now. :)

After it came back from Buck, it really did look like new ✨

Indeed. And it's also probably cheaper to make than welding some plate n bars together. They could have made something that slotted/clipped into the triangle walls which would achieve the same outcome for a lot less weight. The cast iron works well, no doubt tho.

I could. But that'd be mighty big. Not something I would carry. Largest personal pot I take out is my 900ml :)

Another variation to this kit is the D103 bowl + 750. Allows for more space to store the stove and some little condiment containers. But your kit sounds good too. Whatever works, works!

Where in Japan are you from? Hit me up on Instagram. I may be able to help you.

The metal is only 0.3mm thick as it stands. Thinning it out further to gain a couple of mm in diameter would result in the rim becoming very thin to the point it will be more foil than sheet and also possibly become a safety risk - sharp edge. I did however find another lid which fits nicely. There's a vid on it too. Do check it out. It's linked in the description :)

Thanks for the feedback too. To be honest, if the pedco mini was available near me at a reasonable rate, I'd probably have just gotten it. Sadly it's not, so had to come up with something else... enter Frankenpod 😅 If I ever get the chance to pick up a pedco, I'll definitely give it a try.

Alco is great too. I have a diy tomcat stove which I can swap in with this kit. Hvnt dialed it in yet tho. Glad to know the toaks alco burner is a good bet. May get one in the future. They make solid products.

Thanks for the update. This is disappointing.

My pleasure

Glad you found the vid useful. I was still working out audio at the time so I do apologize for all the noise 😅 I'm still using my MT45 and it's still solid. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with your MT35 🤙
