Mine was a disappointment. While removing the plastic handle (to replace it with a wooden one), the knife blank fall aprox. 25 cm on some concrete, and the tip has broken. Didn't expect that from a "wrecking" knife. For those interested, the tang is 8,5 cm, it narrows from 1,5 to 1,2 cm, and it has 2 small pre-drilled small holes.
25 cm wow that's nothing, quite surprising. The edge on mine seems pretty bomb proof. I have had to sharpen it of course but no chipping whatsoever and the chisel knife that I have has been really badly abused and survived. Trying to think of explanations but can't come up with anything other than the same old excuse of bad heat treatment. Getting the urge to drop mine on concrete now to see what happens 😂. Thank you very much for the tang info and for watching the video.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft Maybe I was just unlucky and received a bad one, or maybe the tip chipped hitting some small harder rock in that concrete, who knows... But the drop was very small and the temperature was +20 °C... After that I didn't continue the project, but I still have the blank. If someone wants to put the work in this kind of makeover (handles, sheaths etc) they better test it a bit before.
I've done everything with mine & batoned with it through logs & all sorts with no problems. I think for the price it's an awesome knife. The sheath is rubbish but if you forget about that the knife is awesome
I own one of these knives and it really is a workhorse. It's also just fun to work with because it's so carefree because of the price, and you're not constantly afraid that it might break. It bites into the wood extremely well and, despite the wide spine of the blade, is suitable for outdoor cooking
It really does make a knife far more versatile when it is so cheap that you don't feel that you have to be careful not to damage it. Very impressed with this things performance too. It cuts great, stays sharp and is comfortable to use. Thanks for watching mate. Have a great weekend.
love that knife its the bacho 2449 wrecking knife if anyone has trouble googling them its 4mm thick sk5 steel and its made for heavy construction work so its designed for beating on the handle,the blades are made in japan it was told by bacho themselves in a mail.when i bought one in a hardware store i went trough like 15 of them before i picked a perfect one there might be small variations but for the price you cant really ask for more,you tend to find them in stores that carry the bacho gardening tools and chainsaw stuff.
It's pretty bomb proof, it's coming into work with me every day at the moment. I need to put some rivets in that sheath though. It slips of my belt every time I get in the car. Thank you very much for the information.
Looks great, Brother . I have been putting off getting one ,I'll get one in the end and make a leather sheath for it .God bless you and your family, and happy camping 🏕 🙏 😊.
Just came across your channel and discovered 2 new knives i like the look of already thanks, subscribed. Btw when you're not on screen i imagine john Cooper Clarke narrating!
Unni saw swans this weekend. We don't chase them though. The lakes and rivers are opening now. It will be wet paws time soon 🤣. Thanks for stopping by Andy.
Bahco 2449: Un Cuchillo de Carpintería Incomparable El Bahco 2449 es un cuchillo de carpintería que, en efecto, destaca por su resistencia extrema y su capacidad para adaptarse a diversas tareas, no solo en el ámbito de la carpintería, sino también para trabajos más generales de supervivencia y campo. Aquí te dejo algunos puntos que podrías considerar agregar para complementar la descripción: Hoja y Material: La hoja del Bahco 2449 está fabricada con acero inoxidable de alta calidad, lo que le confiere una gran resistencia a la corrosión y una buena retención del filo. Esto lo convierte en una herramienta ideal no solo para trabajos en seco, sino también para condiciones húmedas o de contacto con agua, que suelen ser problemáticas para otros cuchillos de carpintería tradicionales que utilizan acero al carbono. Diseño de la Hoja: La forma recta y ancha de la hoja es perfecta para trabajos como corte de madera, escultura y otras tareas de carpintería, pero también lo hace extremadamente capaz en trabajos rudos como corte de carne o huesos. La hoja, si bien está pensada para un trabajo de precisión en carpintería, es suficientemente robusta como para hacer tareas más pesadas, lo que aumenta su versatilidad. Su espesor de alrededor de 3 mm también es un factor importante que le otorga una gran durabilidad. Mango Ergonómico: El mango de madera del Bahco 2449 está diseñado para un agarre cómodo y seguro, incluso después de un uso prolongado. Además, tiene un diseño ergonómico que reduce la fatiga de la mano, lo cual es crucial para trabajos que requieren precisión y durabilidad. Limpieza y Mantenimiento: Como mencionas, el lomo del cuchillo puede necesitar una pequeña modificación (como pasarle una lima para hacerlo más grueso) si deseas usarlo como ferrocero (pedernal). Esto es un detalle que puede ayudar a convertir este cuchillo en una herramienta más completa para actividades de supervivencia, como hacer fuego con pedernal. Al hacerlo, el Bahco 2449 se transforma no solo en un cuchillo para trabajos de carpintería, sino también en un cuchillo multiusos para actividades al aire libre. Indestructibilidad y Resistencia: Lo que hace que este cuchillo sea tan especial es su nivel de resistencia y lo difícil que es de romper. Es un cuchillo casi indestructible, capaz de resistir un uso extremo sin perder su capacidad de corte o deteriorarse rápidamente. Esta característica lo hace ideal para trabajos en condiciones duras, como en supervivencia o faena, donde las herramientas pueden desgastarse rápidamente. Relación Calidad-Precio: Este cuchillo tiene una relación calidad-precio excepcional. A menudo, los cuchillos de alta gama para carpintería tienen un precio elevado, pero el Bahco 2449 ofrece un rendimiento similar a los de las marcas premium pero a un precio mucho más accesible. Este detalle lo convierte en una opción imbatible para quienes buscan una herramienta fiable y duradera sin tener que gastar una fortuna.Conclusión: Un Todo Terreno de Alta Calidad El Bahco 2449 es, como mencionas, un cuchillo casi indestructible que cumple con una amplia gama de funciones, desde tareas de carpintería fina hasta trabajos más pesados en el campo, y todo ello a un precio que lo hace casi inalcanzable en su categoría. Es un cuchillo que se adapta muy bien tanto a los profesionales de la carpintería como a aficionados o personas que buscan una herramienta versátil y fiable. La resistencia al desgaste, la calidad del acero inoxidable, y la ergonomía del mango son factores clave que lo hacen una opción fantástica para quienes buscan un cuchillo que lo haga todo.
At last someone reviewed it. Thank you 🔪 Ps. You can hammer its spine and its but with heavy Iron hammer. I have used it for years. In all dirty scenarios.
I forget to mention that, they actually advertise the fact. It seems to be quite common practice with Mora type knives to hammer the spine here in Finland. But to actually advertise it shows confidence in their product. Really is a work horse, cuts nicely and holds it's edge too. Thanks for watching mate.
Your not talking about the Mora classic now I take it. Thanks for watching Ilari. Hope you had a great weekend mate. Will be mentioning you in the next one if I ever get round to editing it. Really behind with everything at the moment. Thanks for watching.
It's good and sturdy and cuts well. It is butt ugly and has a crap sheath. Would be fine for you, I am sure you would keep it in another knifes sheath🤣. Thanks for watching Grizz.
Looks really good. I'm going to have to try to find one. I have had a pretty good Dewalt Chisel knife for about ten years. Stays in my carpenter belt. Don't know who actually made them for Dewalt.
Is it the one with the serrations at the base of the blade? If so I have one too. Also had it for a few years. I prefer the bahco though thinking about it the dewalt is in pretty damn good condition for the use it has had, it's doing well. Thanks for stopping by Travis.
No tengo el heavy duty pero creo qué prefiero el Bahco aun qué me gusta la funda aun menos, no me gustan las fundas de eate estilo. Pero por Los precios de ambos Bahco y Mora, pues me encantan Los precios😂. Gracias por ver el video amigo. Un abrazo fuerte.
Ive always heard great things about that knife. Its just impossible to obtain in America. Im try to decide between the ranger m95 or m97 or the jaakari puuko 140 or 110. I really side with the smaller in both. Im wondering which is more useful? If you could only afford one what would you use?
I find myself carrying the M95 more than all of the others. Just feels so nimble in the hand despite the longer blade. The sheath carry options I think is a big advantage but I do think I like the Sissipuukkos a bit more. There really isn't much in it though. Thanks for watching mate.
Hi both, Have the two rangers since a while, both well used. KB correct (and good video as always). The shorter one has similar great blade but has a much thicker handle which myself I don't like so much for my hand (despite size 10-11 glove...). The longer one has a thinner handle which I really like, both good knives but just my preference. Finnish friends here swear by longer original one. Hope if helps. C.
Thanks mate, it would be a fun project to customise this knife. Would look so much nicer in wood. Just a leather sheath or even a belt loop would already be a great improvement. Thanks for watching mate.
The GS is plenty strong enough mate. Strange that these aren't available over there as Bahco is now American owned (part of snap on tools). Thanks for watching Philip.

I droped one too one time...and the very tip broke.Not even 1 full mm.I wasn't suprised,it's made to work wood not concrete.
I've done everything with mine & batoned with it through logs & all sorts with no problems.

It certainly is, nothing fancy just a sturdy functional tool.
Thanks for watching mate.
Loving the content.
Thank you my friend, I am very glad.
Thumbs up for sure Tim. Good solid demo.
Thanks Dan. Really good knife for the price, very solid.

Looks like a great budget option!
It really is, I don't like the sheath but it's really robust and cuts well.
Thanks for watching mate.
