I've used small hatchets in the field many times and find them very useful. Nice setup, good video, thanks for sharing.

A job well done. Can you use the spine on that knife to draw a spark? I do mine backwards from you. Instead of pulling the firesteel toward me I drive the spine of the knife downward across the firesteel. You probably get a little better control doing it your way I would imagine.

Very cool, thanks for posting.
Maybe a wearable mic?

I was wondering about the hatchet. You don't think about 2-4more inches of shaft would improve it and be worth the effort to carry?

I'm envious of the dry tinder, it's a chore on a good day to find here.

Thanks for the video.

Cool set up and nice vid, I'm with Winter though, I like to have a little more handle. But what works for you works for me.

It might be worth it. It would make the cost go up by $20 is all.
I can make whatever a guy wants......if he's got enough money.

I meant for you, and thereby for your customers. You are a feller that tests your stuff it seems.

It's a great, quality built combo setup. It may be worth your while to offer that option, or maybe you did in your last post.

Well done video. Does the sheath wear well on a belt and do you know the weight. I like the combo set idea I could attach it to a backpack for base camping. I do a lot of backpacking with the scouts.

It would wear ok I think , the Combo weighs in at 1 lb 10 OZ.....it can be made to accept Molle-Locks as well, it would work great on a pack.

Thanks

I would wear it. It is lighter than my Tops Hawke's Hellion! LOL I like how it looks.

And a damn sight better in versatility.

If you grind a flat on the spine of the knife (1" approx.), it will produce a sharp 90deg edge that you can use to stroke the ferro rod with. Save the cutting edge completely. As said before a slightly longer handle on the hatchet would go a long way to save energy. Well done otherwise.
