Thank you. > no issues. its one of the easiest knife types to make. once mco officially lifts (& the necessary safety cool off period) - we can def make one (or a few types/sizes). i have a few made - they range from looking like kunai to chisels to throwing knifes. i even make em with old butter knifes (which usually do not hold an edge well). they r surprising sharp with the correct edge. i use mine for tree grafting, etc. |

here are plans on how to make a quick diy forge. setup takes about under 2 minutes. dont have a certain component from the above? ... no problem. just switch it out with something else. ex: no fan? use hair dryer or bellow or vacum cleaner blower. anything that generates decent air a continuous rate cement/cinder blokes can be exchanged with brick, metal sheeting or any material that can serve as forge walls without being melted or burned up. just use whatever is lying around ur house. every setup will be unique based on what u got. as long got rough forge enclosure & air flow - ur all set to forge. anyone can do! here are other more detailed ideas |

ideally the air intake source should be under the fuel source for optimal results

during mco - the sales of survival knives, machetes & camp choppers skyrocketed
... i wonder whats the correlation anyhoo, to the uninitiated - camp choppers are exactly that - thick spined, usually with a decent tapered convex edge, blade curvature ranging from straight to slightly eyebrow curved. its used predominantly for wood work associated with daily camp routines - feathering, batoning, breaking down wood, etc ... well, at least that what i use them for. lol its not particularly suited for heavy tree chopping or delicate light work like whittling wood into fancy designs... u could in a pinch, but its gonna come at a cost of great physical exertion/injury/blade destruction. it behaves & should be treated more like a light hatchet. i treat em like good ol HTCs (heavy terrain choppers). ideal weight should be 400 grm to under 600 grm. length would be subjective - anywhere from 320 mm to 380 mm for me. any longer would be machete territory for me personally. there are modern/tactical looking camp choppers & the traditional looking ones. the short goloks of malaysia would be prime example of a 'traditional' looking camp chopper. so without further ado, i will dedicate this week to appreciating this fine specimen of a knife that bring joy to bushcrafters everywhere: here's the 5 beauties of today, with the first one being malaysia's own representative; 'the golok' followed by other lesser known non-generic types of camp choppers: |
