These looks pretty much the same as a repro of Hero Collection.

They remind me of the old German para boots, the old style ones.

The velcro tabbed sheath is only due to the military version having the fingure guard to protect the hand with stabbing motions. Given the military version a aftermarket kydex would be better suited but less traditional in appearance

Collecting iron and steel: The norsmen (“vikings” was a job not a people) would burn peetmoss and collect the iron beeds in the ashes. Once enough beeds were collected tools could be made. I think this process was called smelting

Where can I buy the wool Norgie 😍

I have one. Though not as big as yours. Made in Finland.

Nice review. Thank you. About twelve years ago I visited Norway for a hiking trip from Alta to Karasjok and back. I visited the knife makers store, but decided after much thinking back and forth on it agaiinst buying a leuku. I thought I had enough knives and my backpack was heavy enough. Later I regreted this and still do. I shall get me this or an Eräpuu one soon, though. Cheers.

i shall watch your career with great interest

Holding the knife towards the end of the handle to let it swing with maximum speed is the reason why the handle bevels out at the end, so it won't slip out of your hands when cutting a tree down.

You are totally wrong the Sámi have beet talented metallurgist for 5000 years it goesval the way bavk to a knife made in the bronze age

In the area of ​​Rovaniemi and Kemijärvi, simple furnaces for iron production have been found that can be dated to just before or around Christ. It is assumed that when they became suppliers of sought-after resources, the Sámi gave up their production (iron and ceramics) in return for receiving corresponding products in return. (Samenes historie fram til 1750 av Hansen og Olsen, 2004, side 110/History of the Sami up to 1750 by Hansen and Olsen, 2004, page 110). I myself have a good knowledge of Sami's history, and I would not consider it unlikely that they could order products according to their own needs.

Im late

I was issued these and hated them. Most soldiers in my platoon had problems with these boots. They have a single layer sole which is a major issue, you're essentially walking more or less straight on the outsole. If you get a crack or a tiny prick in the outsole your feet will be soaking wet just from walking on moist asphalt. Most people had to replace these every 3-6 months because the outsole material is prone to cracking and if it does your boot is essentially garbage as you can't resole them. The company that makes them these days (Samelin) sells a 2.0 version with a proper two layer sole and it's vastly superior. I have a picture on my phone from someone who had to duct tape the sole back on because it cracked and peeled off within 2 weeks of being issued. The laces they come with are trash. They're some sort of cheap dress shoe laces that bind up way too easily meaning adjusting your laces is way more difficult than it needs to be. They also soak up moisture like crazy. I suggest replacing the laces with paracord or with aftermarket hiking boot laces. Unlike most modern boots they don't have a lace lock on the instep so you can't adjust lace tension differently for the upper and lower parts of the boot. This is a pretty big issue as most people like the foot part to be loose and the upper part to be tighter for more ankle protection. The part where the shoe bends when walking has a nasty tendency to crush the tops of your toes. This is perhaps the second most common complaint after problems with the sole. They can be made relatively water resistant with proper treatment, but if you're walking around when it's wet you're gonna get your feet soaked sooner or later. If you need your boots to be waterproof these aren't it. The only good thing about the boot is that it has a toe box similar to the munson last i.e. it's actually foot shaped and unlikely to smash your toes in from the sides like many boots do. Other than that you're pretty much getting a mass produced boot made by the lowest bidder designed in the 1970s. Once broken in they're decently comfortable until the outsole fails on you. If these work for you then great, but more than half of the people in my platoon had major issues with these within the first few months and almost everyone had to get a new pair issued during their 11 months of service. PS: the person suggesting 3 layers of socks with these is insane. Some people use two but if you really need three the boots aren't right for your foot. Also problems with the soles persist even with new productions, the issue definitely isn't solved, it's just not as bad as it used to be.

Looks almost identical to my Helle Lapplander?.....good knife

I assume that the opening was designed to allow any moisture to evaporate, rather than trapped in scabbard. Seeing that the top is so tight

The most perfect bushcraft, camping, survival knife design ever created.

we Saamis probably used maybe wood or reindeer horns to make our knifes

They are ery good field knives. Great all rounder!

Trying to shine mine M77 due to the amount of shining vidoes appering on my mobile. Can not seem to get streek free shine on the toe cap. Not enough layers of polish? They have been irreglary treated with beeswax and polish throughout the years.

Nice... a Norwegian channel, speaking English, talking allied history...this channel is made for me

Hi, I am ex-British Navy and have just made a friend who was also in your navy so we have been comparing notes. What an interesting video you have done. Perhaps I should do the same with my own British sailor's uniform!! Or better still get you to model a British sailors uniform!! I have been collecting uniforms for some years after swapping bits with various sailors in other Navies whilst on my worldwide travels. I then started to collect more items to make them complete so have managed to have full uniforms from Russia, Germany, France, Australian, Chinese, Vietnamese, and many others. With my British and also American I have managed to get complete uniforms from the 1940s, 1960s, 1990s and today.

I got one of the tunics.

I use John Land Ammo boots.

I dont suppose you have any details on the webbing equipment that you would also wear? Thanks

I got one too! One of my favorite great coats. Great information and video!

It would be nice to see more of this type of content, im always interested in " prepacked" camping& military use( mre) food

👍 Excellent review and history.

Hi there 👋 do you put any boot grease on the top as well as shoe of the boot

Hvor fikk du tak i under skjorta og slipset til uniformen?

Its sharpening makes the edge too fragile which is basically a useless knife especially at 3mm thickness.

I think they make a beautiful sound walking. So rustic.

i have an identical one except there are anchors on the buttons instead of three crowns

Viking knifes from Russia look very much like sami knifes right down to style of the sheath.

For people who want these, I can recommend Samelin/Saapavabrik from Estonia. Cheers.

After owning a couple they are amazing, and the sharpness is incredible, and the one of a kind traditional feel is unbeatable

Очень интересно!👍

Lag video med us patron belte

Is that the knife SISU stuck through the Nazis head?

Jeg hører på engelsken at du er norsk

Great shirt, Thanks for sharing 👍😎🇸🇯

My helle lapplander is juet about identical

great video, where can i get the better more accurate original jacket, or any better sellers than SOF, Im sorry I had trouble understanding a few words but great video

It's definitely a good knife but due to the size I can't imagine which of my activities (boar skinning, fishing, camping) it would be useful for.

You Are very lucky with the wood on your knife! Mine looks like taken from a bromstick

A few comments; I was issued an US harness dated 1942 when I attended the Officer Academy in 1985, the Norwegian Navy had M1911 pistols until the mid 1990s. The field shovel usually was attached to the day pack (stridssekk) instead of the belt for obvious reasons, together with the modular tent system and eventually clothes, food and more ammo.

Wearing the M75 jacket while watching this

Камуфляж на финский М 62 похож....🤔

Наверное стучат как копыта у лошади??🤔

Who else is here after watching Sisu?

M75 all The way
