The Perfect Cutting Tool

Which is the perfect cutting tool to have in the great outdoors?!
Knife, axe, saw, chainsaw, machete, parang, ulu. The choices are many.
This is a topic of conversation that is very wildly debated and just as there are millions of people, the answers and preferences are just as many.
I hope to bring my own personal perspective on the topic and I want to make sure that this is my own personal opinion and I understand that lots of people will disagree. I hope you enjoy the video.

Many outdoorsmen in North America, will follow the idea of the Nessmuk trio; a sturdy pocket knife, a belt knife of smaller, thinner size, and a good hatchet or small axe. Personally, I think cutting tools need to match the terrain it will be used in, as well as the skills of the user. As we look at cutting tools, we can see that they usually have a certain task they do very well, and then a curve falling away from that task as it becomes more difficult or unsafe to use. Some tools have a very wide and flat curve, letting them do many things easily, and some tools have a very narrow and steep curve, showing how limited they are. Skill development will always serve to make the useful range of any tool wider, and a wide range of tools will make up for a lack of depth of skill, allowing a variety of tasks to be done with good results by switching tools. I believe that leads most people to find a compromise between the environment they work in and the level of skill development they are willing to invest in and the tools they have available to them. With the easy availability of a wide variety of cutting tools, it is too easy to learn a little about a lot, rather than to learn a lot about a little. It is an interesting journey though. Your insights are very valuable and I thank you for sharing them.

You phrased it better than I could.

@@VahidCullsberg just a reflection of your wisdom my friend. You inspire me to spend more time with my axe, but since I'm not a north sea fisherman, I'll stick with my 2 lb hudson bay

😆 That's the feather weight division 😉

Hello brother. You have a useful array of cutting tools. I like the video. Would you consider trading the collared axe head for a hand-forged puukko style blade that I would forge for you? I have wanted one of these axes for a long time. Let me know. Thanks again.

Hi Richard, thank you for the offer I will consider it.
