bushcraft, birch bark knife sheath

[thehatchetassassin]

två frågor: hur skär du ut så stora bitar näver utan att det blir hål i dem och hur gjorde du i slutet när du så säga avslutade surningen med den långa näver biten?

hoppas du förstod vad jag mena.

[chaindrivecharlie]

Another great video Fredde, thanks Brother.

[reingo73]

thats one hell of a piece of birch bark, gotta love your birch trees.

did you impregnate the wood safty inlay, so it does not rot . thx.

[USBushcraft]

Ahhhh. I see. Brilliant. That had to be the absolute best all natural knife sheath. Also just loved the jig you make for cutting straight true pieces of the bark. Thanks so much for the reply.

[hobbexp]

@USBushcraft

thanks, yeah the sheath even amaze me, i use it all the time, and it still is good as the day i make it.

fredde

[USBushcraft]

Freede, I love your vids. Am learning soo much. I have one question though. I know you are busy but how do you secure the bark to the sheath. I cannot tell from the video. Thanks.

[hobbexp]

@USBushcraft

thanks, im not busy to day,

i just put in the bark under it self, so its very much the same way you make a basket.

fredde

[QuitePatriot]

Neat ! Would have been better if you showed how you secured the birch bark strips...

[hobbexp]

yeah maybe,

[QuitePatriot]

Thats allright, I figured it out anyway...

[wildbushmania]

2 youtube channels  cool,

[Paul07901]

Wizard in the woods, love your work!

[Thundergooch]

Just recently found your channel, still working my way through all your vids. EXCELLENT! ! But I cant see how you finish off the wraps around the sheath. How do you secure the loose end? I want to try this for my Mora, it came with a cheap plastic sheath. Yuk!! Thanks again, and HELLO to Mrs Freddie!

[nedeljkomostar]

Exelent job. Love watching your skills.

[nephildevil]

so what, u gleu it with dry spit?:D

[hobbexp]

i know i say in the video how much glue i use :0)

[Emazkiz]

great video! i shown your vids and im still watching ;D

[buckshot752]

pretty good vid freddie. But I think I would have learned alot more if Icould see what you were doing. Would have been better if you faced the camera. and not blocked the view with the back of you hand and keep the project in the camera shot.

[hobbexp]

you like me to put my cam in front of me out ther in the rain,

[captaincoolness55]

i've seen a vid on youtube on how to protect your camera from the rain. i'll try to find it for you.

also, birch bark makes an excellent tea for detoxifying the body. :D

[medicjimr]

Can never go bord watching Freddy's skills

[hobbexp]

thanks for the nice words

[1OldSchool4]

Awesome video!!! Very inspiring. I have several mora knives and I'll have to try this for the one I carry the most. Thank you for sharing your wealth of skills.

[bushcraftbartons]

Great vid friend! Beautiful bushcraft sheath...

[hobbexp]

[johnboyrebel27]

What model of Mora is that? I just ordered the Mora carbon viking and it looks similar to yours...

[Carlsarv]

Very nice! I wish I could make one, I have to go out and practice. I really like the idea of having no string or glue.

[bushmag]

Great vid! I think I can learn ALOT from you man:)

[PG0982]

[trekon86]

Hey bud,

What DID you use to secure the outer wraps of bark around the sheath?

Did you just tuck each layer under the other?

Great looking piece! I'd love to make one...drop me a message if you will...cause though birch is rare around here I know of all the spots where they are;)

[pikulicluka]

Thanks for another vid Fredde! Wow, I absolutly love it, as always!! I also love the fact that you did this on a rainy day: it kind of creates a very pleasant environment to watch.

I'm about to buy a mora knife, so I think I'll be able to take it a go on the birch bark sheath, just one question: I'll have to choose from a clipper, a viking, craftsman, scout or the morakniv 2000: which mora knife would you advise me as the best for bushcraft? I hope you could help me a bit with this choice...

[hobbexp]

i dont know, lots of ppl like the clipper,

and you can see what mora knifes i like in my videos,

i think i have a 3 cliper test videos in my Favourites, in my channel,

[facatube]

as always 10 out of 10 vid.

I envy your knowledge and playing spot ;-)

[EnergyDog23]

Nice, you should sell those =P, 5/5*

[nj4x4fever2]

Very Nice Job Freede, I like your craftmanship and your patience to make useful things. I also Like you stone fire pit.

5/5

[4ancientarts]

[73mensailedoff]

Very nice work and video 5*

[OKBushcraft]

How did you learn your knife skills? A father, grandfather?? Lots of practice on your own? How did you learn your other bushcrafting skills? Thanks for another great video, John.

[hobbexp]

books and practise,

[CombatArchery]

I have been waiting for your next Great Video....

Thanks, Keep them Comming ...Please...

[hobbexp]

thanks, nice to hear you like ,, :0)

[RDPproject]

What brand is your Axe? It looks nice and sharp.

[hobbexp]

my axe is so cheap so it have no name, and its nice and sharp because i sharp it some times,

[hobbexp]

thanks for your comment.

[KunaiKnight]

nice sheath! it rainin out?

[hobbexp]

yeah its rain whole day,

[RDPproject]

Cool. Excellent work to be doing when its a nice quiet day and its raining outside.

[651bobby]

Nice sheath, does you more have a full scandi grind on it, or does it have a bevel at the edge?

[hobbexp]

scandi grind

[Quato29]

great vid bud. al need to give this a try myself.

5/5

[anyonefindAMERICA]

Another great craft! I love your pipe vid!

[BUSHCRAFTandCANOE]

***** Five of Five *****

really nice work Fredde !

[hobbexp]

thanks, lots of ppl think the sheath to the mora knife is ugle, so i like to show up a easy way to make a safe birch bark sheath for the mora knife,

[ArmoredSheepdog]

Another neat project. I'm jealous of your wood growth up there dude. Between the Birch and the Spruce you really have it made lol. Here in the Deep South of Alabama we get paralysis of analysis from hundreds of species, not one of which is spruce lol! And the river birch is the only variety of birch we have. I'll try to find some and make your boxes to see how the species compare.

[hobbexp]

hehehe,, thanks ,, yeah, but its lots of stuff we dont have up here to,

[OKBushcraft]

Hey Armoredsheepdog, do you have tulip poplar in your area? It's bark can be used for lots of stuff. How about linden or basswood? Hickory bark too, some have used it for caneing the seats of chairs. I have been to Headland AL. a couple times, Neat area and lots of cane. I have played with willow bark for some things too. John.

[ArmoredSheepdog]

We do have carolina and white basswood, tuliptrees (but none of the actual poplars according to my Peterson field guide). There are several varieties of hickory, I wonder if they each vary in their bushcrafting capability: bitternut, shagbark, mockernut, sand, and pignut are the easily found varieties. I need to experiment mixing and matching some of these for fireboards and spindles heh.

[SkogKniv]

Well done Fredde! Thanks for sharing! 5/5

[karlsefni01]

HA! You stir your coffee with the knife! You've got skills my friend! 5*

[hobbexp]

yeah,, why not, thanks,

[EvergreenBushcraft]

Very nice! i love the idea.

[locke6206]

Always amazing what you are able to do! Great job!

[hobbexp]

[bricardiff1969]
