Recently found this guy on youtube, just honest Swedish campcraft, no frills, cheap tools, very high skill level. He stuck about 30 vids up a month or so ago and they only have a few hundred views each, I reckon he deserves to be rather better known. Here are a couple as tasters, first just chopping some firewood with a cheap little axe, good stance and I love the way he splits it nonchalantly with a longitudinal chop and twist.

And here carving a spoon, he makes a lot of use of one draw grip I use mostly across the end of a spoon but he uses it along the length, it looks dangerous but if done correctly it is not and clearly works well. Just nice to see a cheap mora knife used well. Someone else who doesn't think because you are into bushcraft you need folk music or indian chants for a soundtrack too....rock and roll.

Frankly makes our Ray look like a little boy playing at the job

Haha, that guy was barred from a swedish outdoor forum a couple of weeks ago (for massposting links to his videos), he just popped up from nowhere and wrote several posts per day, and still had time to produce good videos. I saw them some time ago, he is very skilled in knife handling. There is another swede who made several good clips, in swedish unfortunately, but he focused on the wilderness experience and impression rather than skills, although he showed some clever ways to use a small axe and a firesteel.
Which one Ray or Mr Swede?
I think they are both working in totally safe manner, it is not always possible to see the safety in a knife grip but I always ask when I am performing this cut, if the knife slips through the wood more quickly than I expect, where does it go and where does it stop. i think all those grips he is using the knife stops before it does damage but only if you understand them and do them in the right way.
...a swedish outdoor forum...

Do you have the links to these sites?
Which site? You mean the youtube clips?
