HOW TO Customize Mora Garberg for John by thetopicala
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This was my second attemp to customize Mora Garberg. My first went to Taro from Taromovies. John, thanks for choosing this stabilized curly birch block to this project. it's one of those blocks I cut into pieces on my own and sent them for the stabilized to Jaska Nukari Puukkopaja in Finland.
We used John's 'old', used Mora Garberg knife this time and some minor scratches can be seen on the blade. Those scratches do not reduce the value of the final result!
The handle has got a great grip. It feels robust and strong. It weights 242 gramms with the sheath.
Thanks for your interest,
Osmo

Wow. That came out really nice. The curly birch looks amazing.
Just beautiful, well done!
It's not just the beauty of the knife, but the beauty of your video in telling the narrative of the knife that I enjoy so much. So I would never skip ahead to see the final product! Thanks for the story of another great knife.

God smiles on such beauty and craftsmanship :) Lovely, exquisite work, friend! I would normally skip to the end, but I miss woodworking so much (I used to work for a custom cabinet maker, but haven't gotten to do any woodwork in years since being injured on the job) and watching the shaping and sanding process especially was entrancing and relaxing. Again, gorgeous work. A Mora blade definitely deserves such a fine setting.

Hey Aleister, always an honour and joy to get feedback from professional woodmakers. Actually today glued together a new Mora G project and hope to shape and sand it into form in these days. I have also gathered some video material from this work and maybe it’s there on tube too. Thanks for your kind words and wish you all the best! Osmo 👋🏻🇫🇮
GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!

WOW,that turned out beautiful..easily the best looking Mora Garberg I’ve ever seen..this is one thing could majorly improve Morakniv,Cold Steel,and Falkniven knives greatly IMO...I just don’t care for plasticity and rubbery knife handles..I prefer micarta and G10 scales but wooden,antler and horn handles make for a beautiful classy look...great job
The end result is beautiful
