Show us your cutting tool trios!

[Clouston98]

I'm interested in Nessmuks trio of cutting tools, but I don't have a double bit (as much as I want one!). So if you were to only take 3 cutting tools to the woods, what would they be? Photos please!

Here's mine:

Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe
Gary Mills Timberwolf
Laplander saw

Or

What's yours?

With Woodlore bow saw and A.Wright and sons woodlore clone for a canoe camp

Thanks for looking!

If I take a saw its a folding bucksaw.
The big knife is still waiting to be handled, at the moment it is cord wrapped.

Cant do pics as at work.

trio consists of.
m.o.r.a clone or kephart clone by hill bill.
Gransfors bruk outdoor axe or small forest axe.
silky pocket folding saw.

although I usually have a sak farmer as well....

 

[Clouston98]

Good stuff lads!

Johnny I usually take a bucksaw too, will take a photo of a larger camp set!

 

[Man of Tanith]

Oh aye forgot the folding bowsaw.
usually only packed in winter or if I have specifics in mind.
same as the small forest axe

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

I've tried a few axes but the one I settled on is the Scandi Forrest axe, doesn't pack too well due to the length.
Im happy to saw then use the big Nessie to split(yes I baton ok) the small knife is stainless and sclicey so great for food prep.
I can do some stunning feather sticks with the Nessie as I can control it with two hands as well as delicate trimming/cutting

Well now if we are talking Nessmuk,

I agree though - the Nessmuk set needs to have a folding saw added.

 

[Clouston98]

Oh wow red! That axe is amazing!!! They're some stunning tools mate!

Here's what I'd take in the canoe:

Keep them coming lads!

Make me an offer Sam

 

[Man of Tanith]

Make me an offer Sam

Eternal gratitude?
name my next born child after you?
Two mostly functioning kidneys?

 

[Clouston98]

No no no, it must stop! That nessmuk axe could be dangerous, you must send it to me immediately so I can make sure it is safe.....

No honestly though it is the best axe I've ever seen!

 

[British Red]

Eternal gratitude?
name my next born child after you?

I am far too old to have another generation bearing my name!

 

[Man of Tanith]

If I had sufficient spare funds to make you a sensible offer Hugh you'd have a pm incoming right now.
alas it must remain a dream

 

[British Red]

No problems Sam - I need some more workshop bench tools for this place and have been toying with selleing of some pretties to pay for them - I'm not in a rush though

Right - back to other peoples tools!

 

[Big Stu 12]

Now you got me to pick a trio.. from my sharps..... Hard.. would probably be

Mora Clipper
1 1/2 lb Axe
Silky Pocket Boy

 

[Clouston98]

Good stuff stu mate! Might have to get myself a silky saw, how do they compare to the laplander?

Keep them coming!

 

[Man of Tanith]

I've had a laplander an opinel saw an aldi cheapo and now have a silky.
I like the silky best out of all I've had but I fear the blade may not be as robust as the laplander

Good stuff Sam, I think I might get a silky soon....

Against the Laplander you will always get the Laplander is better argument, I know that for me the Silky is far better as it seems to cut easier for me, and gives a better finish to the cut, yeah the blade is a bit thinner therefore maybe more open to bending.. saying that learn to saw with out rushing, how many do you see going like the clappers to saw a bit of wood... , and that will give more control.. it feels better to hold then the Laplander.

In the end it is personal choice, in cold weather the silky is easier to use due to the big thumb lock, and the handle is rubber rather then plastic, and it has a all steel frame, the bolt and the blade and you have a TPI choice as well can be replaced with spares that are available..
