    Hey! Solid video! I have a Woodsman ordered for myself! I of course am incredibly pumped about getting it. I wanted to ask what is the cordage called that you use for your pinky lanyard?

  • @bushcraftcostarica808
    @bushcraftcostarica80812 күн бұрын

    Thank you! The pinky lanyard is made out of Paracord (550 cord) with a dymond knot at the end. I found some in the states that was a different color than the standard OD green.

    @@bushcraftcostarica808 Thank you for getting back to me. Alright awesome, I’ve got plenty of that haha. I guess it was the color scheme that through me off since that coloring isnt standard (as you know). I’ve still got several months before I’ll start to expect my knife but I’m picking things up that I’ll need. I’ve got my carry system down, lanyard material, and steel sand paper. I’ll make the bearing block later down the line 😆

  • @richevy5224
    @richevy52244 ай бұрын

    Really cool. You have unbelievable knife skills. Did you have to touch up your blade after working with the bamboo? It is pretty hard, gnarly stuff to work with.

    @bushcraftcostarica8084 ай бұрын

    Thanks! I went into this project with just a working edge, not quite shaving and it seems to still be the same. The bamboo is pretty tough stuff though, splitting is no big deal but chopping thru is a pain.
