Tagged - My 2 Favorite Knives

I was tagged by BushcraftMyWay and asked to do a video on my 2 Favorite knives. WHO only has 2 favorite knives?? Well it was hard, but I decided on which knives would be the ONLY ones that I kept if I could only have two.

See many of my other knives as well for the understanding of WHY I choose these 2 tools.

Regarding Mora's, there is nothing wrong with Mora's, I have seen them cut down 4" treees and all the way down to fine and detailed work. A few of the discount knife catalogs have a Mora copy "Wahoo Killer." It is a copy of the 860mg and they are $1.99 each. I bought 4 and have used them for every camp chore there is, if you break one,.no big deal, grab another and move on. I have yet to break one. The important thing about a knife, no matter brand or cash value, does it work for YOU,

@PracticalBushcraft1 Well said My Brother.. I couldn't have put it better. I'm honestly getting a bit tired with people (not you) telling other people that what THEY think is best.. is what everyone should do. I have been practicing bushcraft for 21 years now.. and have found out what works for me in certain situations. Might not work for everyone.. that's ok! Do what is best for you.. Thanks for a great post!

I have an old hickory knife i gave 15 dollars for. and I'd take in to the woods before i would ever take one of those 500 dollar knives.I can spit a log just as good with it as I can an axes. and it will still be sharp enough to gut and skin a rabbit with.Why does any one need to go spend 200 buck on a knife

@mogges1 Thanks for your comments Bro.. As I have said many times.. these are MY choices. I never said these were "the best knives" or that anyone else should carry/buy them. Each man should make his own decision on things that they need/carry.

dave canterbury said that mora is junk exept for food prep..he told me that...what do you think...dont think he said junk but he didnt promote it......great vid..

[BushcraftOnFire]

@swampassoutfitters Each man has his opinion on what good tools are. I think that the Mora is a great knife. I got my first Mora from Dave in fact. It has a Rattail tang.. but goes about 3/4 into the handle.. so it is still solid. And they are as sharp as knives come. I love it for carving and subtle work... and wear one as a neck knife when I am in the bush.

"negrito bolo" refers to the negrito tribes in the philippines. Bolo is a common large working knife style in the PI, and it takes on many versions.

good video dave personally although i dont know which knives i would pick i think its totally up to you on which ones you like best because people have different environments i may carry a mora for my woodland another guy may carry a machete because he lives in the jungle and another may just carry a swiss army knife because he lives in a desert. gear is totally your choice i could recommend something to someone and say its good but whether it works for them is another story, all the best

@BushcraftOnFire Thank You ! I have learned that what I think is best is usually FUBAR for other people. Same as you, I have been Bushcrafting for a great many years, I have found that the simplest tool is usually the best tool FOR ME. I have seen some "Bad" tools, good tools and great tools, BUT, these are only my opinions, what I think is bad, may work very well for the next person. I really like the way you "TEACH and EXPLAIN," Keep up the good work.

@BushcraftOnFire Well said, I agree the best kit is the kit that works for you.

@BushcraftOnFire My apologies David, I wasnt directing that at you.It was to those that think they need to run out and buy those high dollar knives for it to be a survivla knife,.as you know the old mountian men carried the family butcher knife.
