I used my Gransfor burk wildlife hatchet and it never split the logs today. I should have video it

Agreed

Thank you! Cheers!

Sir, admit it… You are a BEAST! 🙌🙌🙌

It’s brilliant at doing feathers/curls

Well your the man with the woodsman and you know how easy it is to get a good hat full of feathers with it in no time at all. 👍

Definitely is bud

Cheers m8 👍

Nb bud 👍

Good advice there bud. Thank you 👍

He talked very little about himself in public and almost nothing on what he did, but some rumours says he admitted to also having done a few snuskiga jobs, "snuskiga jobbs" being a bit odd direct translation of "dirty jobs". The ruskies and then the Germans were extremely brutal also on civilians and I think Allan was not happy about it. One rumours is that when on a long range kurir ski patrol in the artic north of scandinavia, he and his buddy had to flee into a dark tunnel and was followed by a patrol of Germans. Silent fighting in the dark and only Allan (possibly also his buddy in the patrol) exited the tunnel. "kurir" -courier _ was one very generic and non-descriptive label for a special forces operator at the time. Yes, they did transports also, but the silent killing training, weapons training and air drop training in UK were used for ... various things.

Please excuse my ignorance as I have never heard of him. He sounds a fantastic character of which a true unarmed combat instructor should be and a gentleman. Will need to see if can find anything on him to read up on. ATB from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍

@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 You are defintely excused. It is hard to find anything on Allan Mann aside from a rather modest wiki-page. Some say his records were -how do you say it - tidied up (tidy up, cleaned). It would seem he served 1939-1984, but considering the cold war stay behind I would not be surprised if he hung around longer in some capacity. I did not serve with him, but had some small parts of the training he lay the foundation on. Allan had been a wrestler in early years and I think he had good use of this later on. The French Foreign legion probably has some records as they probably not forget what he did together with them and how he saved one of them while severly injured himself. I think he got at least two high end French medals one being represented by a red ribbon on civilan cloths. There is also many local stories that is hard to know how true they are, like old farts (like me? haha) telling how they tried to brawl with Allan at dancing places, pubs and such. In one story he was approached by four bulky young lads when he was with his girl friend at a dancing place in Sweden. He did not allow himself to be provoked and just walked away, but when one of the lads grabbed at his girl, the four guys found themselves on the floor. Allan and the girl (to be wife) quickly left and Allan was just very unhappy to have shown in public what he was capable of. Even when much older, guys seems to want to fight him and it may have been a prestige thing to do so. I suspect Allan was unappy with this. Also, some PTDS could cause trouble as some of the moves were not for "self defence". I think Allan did not talk about it, but shared factual, professional, knowledge with cadets, also with others in closed events for veterans and such. I should ask for excuse of my poor english...! All the best from Sweden.

Thanks m8. I just wish I had your patience to do all the carving projects you have done with your trackers. You are definitely the best I have see with a tracker when it come to carving m8 and not to mention every thing else you do with them 👍

Cheers Andy. Let me know how you get on with the exercise if you try it out bud

Thanks 😁

You won’t go wrong with this blade bud. Great camp knife. You can even cut down fully grown trees with it which I have done it on a few occasions and I am talking 80ft pine trees. It does take a while but I got there lol

@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 80 foot, my God I would want a few coffee breaks even with a chainsaw 😂. We don't have anything that big up here anyway. Got some short, old, tough fat bastard pines that would be a real challenge though. I wish they still made leukus with more of a flat grind. They used to. I think it is the way to go for a chopping knife. Like also a lot of old billhooks in the UK.

@@KuukkeliBushcraft I like my fiskar bill hook. I usually use it during the winter months. You should check it out on my RUclips channel. Would be a ideal tool for the sleds to stow away

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder 👍

Thanks 👍

Cheers 👍👍

@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 i checked out Broc website they unfortunately dont offer those models anymore

I don’t know m8. I just knew they went out of business some time back. Well here is hoping that they haven’t been taken over with some conglomerate companies like cold steel did

@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 definitely mate, I'm sure I heard it was an American company, I'm not 100%

Thanks m8 👍👍

lol, I think you your right 😂

Cheers m8 👍👍

Cheers m8 👍👍

How very true. That’s ok if you carry a axe, but like me i dont and i need to get to the dry wood so i need to baton with a knife. The way the Roselli LEUKU is made/designed it’s clear not made to baton any size of wood so its sent me on a journey of designing a LEUKU that i can baton with and hopefully will have it prototyped by the end of the year and start testing it into the new year. Thanks for the feedback back, much appreciated 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I prefer the stainless steel Mora garberg to the ranger knife, but prefer the ranger sheath

About £75

@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 thank you, it probably be about $150 in the United States

It’s off to a great start bud. A few tweaks here and there and it should be ready for production if it goes ahead

lol 😆still some more trials to go yet m8

👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Cheers pal 👍👍

Doing good so far m8. Would be a good knife for your lad Jim and what he is about to start

@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 My thoughts exactly

I am well pleased at how well it’s standing up to to the tip test myself 👍👍

Cheers bud. I am pleased it’s doing so well so far. Still got to take it out into the woods and so how it fairs. Fingers crossed

I think he is fine m8. He has been a busy man of late. I like that steel also. I made my blade that thick because I now how abusive marines can be with their knives and to withstand a full marines career of use

Only time will tell if it’s going to survive the cut bud. Cheers 👍

@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 it's a great feeling to make your own knife, I bought a mini forge a few years back and have made a couple of knives, I have just finished making a Yakut knife. The one you have made looks great it's certainly solid enough.👍🏻
