Superb bit of kit. Are you going to stick a Paracord loop / thumb wrap on the handle ? And remember: "Always cut towards your chum, not towards your thumb." John 'Lofty' Wiseman
Great vid mate a beast of a knife there, I have always liked the golok design and this looks like an epic one what’s the blade length on this one if you dint mind me asking?
That is a decent chopping tool, and looks like loads of fun to use. It does, however, seem to be quite bulky, and the blade much thicker than most machetes. You didn't mention the weight though. (Around 2 1/2 - 3 pounds in the sheath)? I also do not subscribe to the "only one knife" concept, so prevalent these days. I prefer the "best tool for the job" approach. Interesting to hear you subscribe to the "small knife, saw, axe" school so prevalent in Scandinavia. Personally I'm not an axe fan (except at a permanent or semi-permanent woods camp, where it would be quite useful). My preferred kit would be: a large blade instead of an axe (mine is a Cold Steel Trail Master San Mai iii). This is for general heavier work, and some light batoning. Anything heavier I would do with wedges cut with the big knife. a saw: this would be a Silky ( Gomboy or Bigboy, depending on how mobile I'd need to be in a particular environment). This is one of those non-negotiable items, like the big knife. a belt knife: this would be very situation-dependent. If I was planning on doing lots of carving I'd have a Scandi-grind knife. If the outing is more general, I'd wear my Cold Steel SRK, San Mai III version, as a broad general purpose knife. Here there would be much more latitude in the selection, depending on expected conditions. Note: If I was expecting to do lots of walking or moving about and not expecting to have to do much in the line of shelter construction, I'd probably downscale from the kit above. I'd definitely still carry the SRK, plus a Silky Pocketboy, and a Victorinox Ranger Grip knife. Enjoyed your video.
Thing is.... Do you think that those in the world who survive day to day all over the world focus so much in these details? Real survivors don't. Nor do they have the luxury. Go and look at what real survivors do and use. They don't have your privalige, built on their suffering. Go and do it for real. Ffs. 😁

Great knife and video... but what language are you speaking? Not even Google translate can figure it out. :-)
