    Default Compact wood chopper - MLL Knives

    Hello everyone,

    This is the small Wildland.

    The Wildland knife is a compact cutting tool, very easy to carry, placed on the belt does not disturb the walk and fits easily in a bag or backpack.
    The Wildland is a powerful chopper designed to be used in real situations of survival or bushcraft, has an ergonomic handle that fits nicely in hand and increases the grip, the blade is very sharp, and strong enough to fell a tree.

    The blade has a scandi grind to allow for a more durable edge, and ease of sharpening, has a curved cutting edge in order to increase the cutting efficiency, not only will this tool cut down a tree or split logs for the fire, it will also allow you to shave some fire sticks with ease, making it able to go from heavy work to fine intricate work without a problem.

    Features:

    Blade: O1 High Carbon Steel.
    Overall length: 10″ (250mm).
    Blade length: 5″ (130mm).
    Blade thickness: 1/4″ (6mm).
    Handle: Wood (Portuguese white oak) or Micarta.
    Weight: 15.8 ounces (450g).
    Sheath: Brown or black leather.

    Thanks,
    I appreciate your support.
    Is a good tool, easy to carry and is very versatile and effective at work, can replace or supplement a knife without adding much weight.

    Thank you everyone for the comments.
    I appreciate you guys like it.
    The holes in the blade are (for example) to tie the knife to a stick and make a spear, may be useful to cut something that is out of reach, or for fishing, or do a clamshell, is more useful in a situation of survival, in bushcraft is not so useful but it is better to have, you may need them.

    Mario, as a happy user of one of your knives, all I can say is that they are simply excellent for heavy work and fine shaving alike.

    I've spent a lot more money on a knife in the past and not been nearly as happy with it as the craftsmanship and quality of yours.

    From me, a big

    To put paracord through so you can swing it around your head and go "chav-chopping"

    It is a gorgeous looking blade that's for sure! If it was a women.......

    I think it looks neat, nice and chunky!

    any chance of a video demonstration? I think it's always good to get an idea of performance with knives like this and I'd certainly watch it!

    Hello umbracanis,
    The package normally takes 5 business days, probably will arrive on Monday, I hope you have many adventures with the knife, thank you.

    Hello Samon,
    I currently have a small video but hasn't good quality, the camera quality is poor, I did it in the forest and the conditions aren't good, if you want to see here: http://youtu.be/q5XIoYF9j_U was just a test to see how the camera could handle, not good.

    Shortly going to do a photo review then post here.

    Thanks

    I'd say that video was pretty good, and the knife did well! was the wood hard on the tree?

    I do not know the name of the tree but is hard as Arbutus unedo. Is a tree of slow growth, very hard.
