Okay. Partner, You might find it easier to make feathers on your stick, if you stick the knife in a chunk of wood and then draw the stick against the blade.

EXCELLENT video!!! Few words, all ACTION! I WILL be purchasing the Fallkniven MB as well as the A1 Pro thanks to you.

John Villafranca hey thanks John, super glad you enjoyed it! I take the MB with me everyday to the woods. It seems ridiculously big at first. But after carrying it and using it I love it.

Minute 2:18 is so awesome. Not sure if my A1 could handle such a big log. Thank you for this video. One of the few really great videos about the MB!

Jakelol1980 yeah the MB is awesome and I love mine. But it's way over priced. If you want a large knife for doing everything. I'd just grab a A2 wilderness knife. And my favorite survival knife has always been my A1. So can't go wrong either way.

Jakelol1980 well that's a tough one to answer. The A1 is my go to for sure. Well before I purchased my MB. I truly love my MB I mean to be honest of all the fixed blades I've owned it would be in my top 3 if not my favorite of all time. Obviously because of its size it's not perfect for bushcraft. But if someone said "hey Shane sending you out in the woods for an extented period of time you get one knife." To do everything from shelter building, defense from predators "I'm probably running" bushcraft and cleaning game. I'd choose my MB. The steel is awesome to sharpen holds a great edge has corrosion resistance has an awesome handle. It's just a super nice knife. But like I said it's over priced. But if you like The design which I do. And the size and weight I say it's a good choice. Although the A1 is still a tough knife to beat and doesn't disappoint.

Can you give me 600$ so that I can buy one🤣

This video made me cringe as soon as I saw the log compared to the palm of the hand... I knew what was to happen. The use of the knife depicted in this video is a first world approach and an erronous at that one. There is no sane reason to batton a knife, of course other than liking battoning, which is a legitimate passion, but not at all logical or necessary in terms of purposeful knife use or "survival". Westerners do have the money to buy such beautiful knives, and then wreck them, and go buy some more... No realistic "survival" camping and buscrafting etc. situation can put a realisticly wired person in a situatuon where he'd have a large knife like that, but no axe, yet he carries an obviously intentionally packed wooden mallet to abuse the "survival knife" with... In the sane and less well-off parts of the Old Country, East of the Elbe and the Enns, things are different: we do not have the money to buy and wreck and than buy some more expensive and beatuful works of art/knife industry like the knife presented in this video. If some does manage to buy one, he'd use it as knives should be - for cutting and slicing, light carving; not chopping battoning and other abuses. We have axes of different sizes and primarily functions to do that. When I looked around last time, so did americans/westermers. Use axes for splitting logs. This knife is a beautiful work of art - too bad that the company that makes it promotes/encourages such reckless use of it. Even worse that it is presented as a knowledge of proper knife use/survival skill. It is neither of those. What it is is incompetent use of a knife in a situation where no sane and really prepared person should find him/herself in, a promotion and perpetuation of a bad interpretation of knife/ "survival" related skills, and consumerism at large. It is a pitty...

If this knife is designed to withstand over a long period of time the exercises in the video then it wouldnt get wrecked right? I think also in a survival situation you may not have a variety of axes to hand, just the knife you chose to take with you and if its this one well then you could survive!
