Mora Clipper - Removing Patina from the Bevel

[vjanda1]

Do you know of a good chrome oxide for stroping that can be bough in the UK?

Something similar to the Bark River stuff.

I bought some on ebay uk but it's so hard it's impossible to apply to the leather.

Thx

[ColinOutdoors]

@vjanda1 Hi, unfortunately I don't know of any I am afraid.

[tradbowyer1975]

cool i have been wanting one of the mora's for while I need to get off my butt and get one. nice sharpening skills looks like it worked good

[ColinOutdoors]

@tradbowyer1975 Thanks my friend, hope you get a Mora, they are great knives.

[alexpoz09]

[ColinOutdoors]

@alexpoz09 Cheers my friend, the Mora's are top knives

[247nyle]

[ClaymoreMaine]

That's not an ice cream truck I'm hearing the the beginnings, is it? Hehe XD

[ColinOutdoors]

@ClaymoreMaine It sure is :-) Next time I will need to get a '99 and eat it on camera :-)

[RDPproject]

Nicely done Colin.

Top marks mate.

[ColinOutdoors]

@RDPproject Cheers Rob :-)

[DivC98]

Yet another very exellent and informative video from you Colin =~D

[ColinOutdoors]

@DivC98 Thank you my friend, take care.

[Smith28Adventure]

Shame about the sound at the end Col but nice results nonetheless. Looks VERY pretty. :) Also looks like you've got the startings of a convex grind there too.

I love stropping my blades, once you get good at it you can really get some pleasing results.

[ColinOutdoors]

@Smith28Adventure Cheers Smith, not sure what happened with the sound at the end. Yeah a slight convex on the Clipper, seems to work great.

[mrriprock2]

I lost the sound at the end, but really didn't need it because that was some fine results....Dash

[ColinOutdoors]

@mrriprock2 Thanks Dash, not sure what happened to the video I am afraid.

[dcox01]

Excellent job Colin looks great.

[ColinOutdoors]

@dcox01 Thank you very much my friend, take care.

[Greatbloke]

Thanks for the tip...the gumming up is a real problem. I changed to a diamond stone that uses water for that reason. I can not yet bring myself to go to the expense of the Japanese water-stones that Ray Mears recommends.

[ColinOutdoors]

@Greatbloke Thanks my friend. Yeah I am the same, the Japanese stones are pretty expensive.

[SurviveN2]

A nice looking edge you put on it Colin. One thing tho....not sure if it's YT screwing up again or it's the video but the video freezes up for a bit and it also looses the sound towards the end. But anyway thanks for sharing and Take Care my friend :-))

[ColinOutdoors]

@SurviveN2 Thanks Dragon, not sure what went on with the vid towards the end. It was fine when editing

[Doubledig]

More Moras!

[ColinOutdoors]

@Doubledig Indeed, thanks for watching. 

[gralo5]

Hey colin, nice job! i completely polished mine on my japenese waterstone, it looks awsome and it doent rust as easily! I was just wondering, is your mora the fixed blade that you usually carry?

[ColinOutdoors]

@gralo5 Thanks my friend, great job with your waterstones, the sure do put a great polish on the blade. I often carry the Mora, other times my Spyderco or Gary Mills knives.

[tendollarword]

Great job. I really dig the contrast between the bevel and the patina.

[ColinOutdoors]

@tendollarword Thank you very much my friend.

[intenseangler]

Nice demo on your sharpening method Brother... works like a dream! Have a great weekend my friend....

[ColinOutdoors]

@intenseangler Thank you very much John, take care.

[zhsy00001]

That sounds just like the ice cream truck in my neighborhood.

[ColinOutdoors]

@zhsy00001 Haha, yeah its round here all the time, several times a day, not got an ice cream cone in a while though

[brindle2009]

[ColinOutdoors]

@MadBadVoodo Thanks MBV, hope you are doing well my friend.

[LoveRise]

I love the paracord wrapped around your mora. Simple but useful idea. Do you have a video on how to attach the cord to the mora? Would love to see it! "Make the journey worthy of the destination"...Laurie

[ColinOutdoors]

@LoveRise Hi Laurie, thank you my friend. I have a video of wrapping another knife, it was the Ontario Rat 3 if that helps.

[LoveRise]

@ColinOutdoors Awesome Colin...I'll search for it. I really like that easy way to carry extra cord...well done!

[ColinOutdoors]

@LoveRise Thanks my friend, I hope you have a great weekend, take care.

[freddiemjames]

great video,moras are so nice

[ColinOutdoors]

@freddiemjames Thanks my friend, yeah Mora's are great

[RETIREINARIZONA]

Very nice, Thank you.

[ColinOutdoors]

@RETIREINARIZONA Thank you my friend.

[Goose7523]

Nice work man...=) I like mora knifes....!!

[ColinOutdoors]

@Goose7523 Thanks man, yeah Mora knives Rock!

[nvrhaveaniceday]

i sharpen my mora the same way, except i seem to do the back and forth motion instead of single stroke. for me they are both exceptional ways to sharpen, except the back and forth motion is faster, but i enjoy spending the time to sharpen, so its all very conflicting for me haha

[ColinOutdoors]

@nvrhaveaniceday Hi my friend, nice one, sounds like you sharpening method is effective and it works. Take care

[ColinOutdoors]

@JBBRUTAL Thanks my friend. Sounds like you have a good method, I must try that in the future, thanks for sharing.

[BuschTukkerMan]

Thats a nice look knife Colin, I bet that it is very sharp lol.

Oh I heard your private plane again ahah, Well I think its Ray Mears again, he's watching you lol. Happy weekend.

[ColinOutdoors]

@BuschTukkerMan Hi Busch, haha, thank you my friend, have a good weekend too, take care.

[CliffStamp]

Nice work, I don't think you have any reason to doubt your sharpening ability, and slow and focused is always the way.

[ColinOutdoors]

@CliffStamp Thank you my friend ,I appreciate your support and kind words, have a great weekend.

[BraveTheWilds]

Great video Colin! Whenever I sharpen my Mora I always lift it to the bevel and then just a little bit more so it doesn't take away the entire primary bevel but just at the edge. I think I can get it sharper that way. I use a ceramic rod. Thanks man, great video!

[ColinOutdoors]

@BraveTheWilds Thanks my friend. I appreciate you sharing your tips and knowledge with me also, take care.

[UltimateSurvivalMan]

awesome Colin, and a great result, take care my good friend.

[ColinOutdoors]

@UltimateSurvivalMan Thanks my good friend, have a great weekend.

[marvintheboon]

I found these for $8.99 a while back and bought 10 of them, it was supposed to be stocking stuffers, but I haven't even thought about it.

This Mora Clipper military is the sharpest knife I have ever had, scary sharp as they say.

Some of my youtubers might end up getting these on a contest or some such.

thanks for the good vids bro.

[ColinOutdoors]

@marvintheboon Nice one my friend, great score on the Clipper. Yeah top knives for the money, I would like to invest in some more.

[Waldhandwerk]

Cool, my friend, looks great, nice polished! Have a good weekend, Sepp

[ColinOutdoors]

@Waldhandwerk Thanks Sepp, hope you have a great weekend too. take care

[Optionsaregood]

Colin, the sound keeps dropping out during the second half of this video.

[ColinOutdoors]

@Optionsaregood Thanks man, bugger I may have to re-upload the vid then.

[nutnfancyproject]

tip you need to use a bit more oil about double

[ColinOutdoors]

@nutnfancyproject Don't mate, it stone is well oiled and retains it. Trust me I was there :-)

[BravingTheOutDoors]

coolness

never had a mora

quite funny but somehow i never got to buying one

[ColinOutdoors]

@BravingTheOutDoors Yeah the Mora is a great knife, hope you get one in the future

[FenrisRising]

Another great video Colin. Sharpening after the patina lets you know if your bevel is flat also. Besides, its just looks cool :)

[ColinOutdoors]

@FenrisRising Thank you very much my friend.
