<br />
<b>The Axe Factory</b><br />
The history of the Säter Axe Factory started in 1894 by <a href="http://www.bygdeband.se/plats/2363265/sverige/dalarnas-lan/sater/sater/bjorshyttan/yxfabriken/" target="_blank">Björshyttan</a> 7 kilometers outside the town of Säter. In 1902 the company Säters Yxfabrik AB was founded by the businessman Mr Carl Rundqvist. In 1907 the production moved into a new facility inside Säter. Since the production was put down in 1966 the Säter Axe Factory building still stands on the same spot as a landmark of an fantastic era in axe history. You can see the beautiful building when passing on Road 70 trough Säter. Today it houses a cinema museum. After closing down in Sweden in 1966 the forge was bought by the Norwegian company Mustad who moved production to Norway, carrying on the Säter Banko, Säterpilen and Mustad Banko brands. In 1971 Mustad was bought by Øyo who continued the Säterpilen and Øyo Mustad Norway brand until 1974. After 1974 they consolidated the brand under the name <a href="https://www.oeyo.no/" target="_blank">Øyo Norway</a> and are still offering axes and knives. Read more about Øyo's history starting 1860 by clicking <a href="https://www.oeyo.no/om-oss/historien-om-oyo-as/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Model Denominations </b><br />
When studying the Säter Axe product catalogs from the start up until the 60's you notice a number of classic patterns that stuck around. Often the denomination of the axes started with a model number followed by a hint of usage (for-instance Cleaving Axe or Carpenters Axe) finishing of with a geographical denomination (for-instance Umeå Model or Turpentine Model). Some axe model names was some-what exotic, probably to attract both Swedish and foreign customers. This as the Säter Axe also was well appreciated outside Sweden.<br />
<br />
<b>Stamps </b><br />
The Säter Axe have used a number of variations of stamps in the axe head over history. But generally can be said; until around 1920 the Axe Factory in Säter used a stamp showing a gnome holding a hammer and an axe. The stamped logo; Säter Banco (or Banko) started to be used during the 1920's and continued up until closing in 1966, even though the company also started to use a stamp showing a Moose and the two arrows of Säter. The word BANCO probably don't have any meaning, other than that is sounded good. A number of forges used the denomination BANCO during this era, for-instance the Igelfors Liesmedja.<br />

<br />
<b>The Production Technique</b><br />
The forging of the Säter Axe was very interesting as they kept to the old and special technique of inserting (laminate) a hardened piece of steel at the edge of the axe; hold together by the softer iron of the axe head. A bit like the technique of the knife manufacture Morakniv at the time. Around 1960 the Säter Factory also shifted into full metal axe heads just as the rest of the Swedish axe manufactures had done long before them. One of the reasons for this was the lack of professional black smiths.<br />

<b>Documentation </b><br />
The Technical Museum (Tekniska museet) made a thurow documentation of the axe factory the year after closing. And thanks to this we today have a lot of objects and documents preserved at the museum in Stockholm. By using the online service of the museum you can study some of the axes and photos from Säter. Take a look in the digital archive by clicking <a href="https://digitaltmuseum.se/search/?q=s%C3%A4ter&aq=owner%3F%3A%22S-TEK%22&o=0&n=128" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />

<b>The Swedish Axe</b><br />
Our curiosity, love for history and old tools made the old Säter Axe that Jonas found out at the cabin the starting point of our life long project called; The Swedish Axe. The project has lead us to inspiring meetings with passionate people and interesting companies, all to gain knowledge of the high quality axes made in Sweden thought history and today. The project has so far produced a number of articles and a chance for us to spread knowledge about our axes to all our course attenders. We are grateful that the project The Swedish Axe has given us good connections at the big manufacturers; Hultafors, Gränsfors and Wetterlings, as well as good friends among the smaller Black Smiths of Sweden also producing beautiful axes but on a smaller scale.<br />
<br />
<b>Thanks for all of your Questions</b><br />

The work is planned to boil down into an article inside an upcoming issue of the Swedish magazine <a href="http://www.jonasvildmark.com/search/label/Vapentidningen" target="_blank">Vapentidningen</a>. With this test I want to explore examples of what the first hand market here in Sweden have to offer me in the scenario of buying a fixed blade knife on a really tight budget.<br />

<br />
There are of-course more low priced knife models out there than these 11 I've chosen to look closer at. And of-course you can make very nice finds on the second hand market. These 11 knife models are easy asses-sable and offered widely at big chains like; Biltema, Jula, Clas Ohlson and ÖoB here in Sweden.<br />
<br />
I test these knives in the roll of a Bushcrafter; camp building, sloyding, hunting and fishing.<br />

Denna knivserie som består av fyra modeller: C148 Ambitious, C136 Persistence, C122 Tenacious och C142 Resilience, är en mycket trevlig kvartett för dig som söker prisvärda bruksfällknivar.<br />

<br />
Modellen Tenacious lanserades 2009 och blev snabbt en stor favorit bland publiken. Kniven finns i dag i ett antal varianter, med eller utan, helt eller delvist, sågtandat blad. Det jag sökte i just denna kniv, Tenacious Black Blade, var en tålig och diskret arbetshäst. Det faktum att hela kniven är svart gör att den inte drar så mycket blickar till sig då den sitter på byxfickan eller västen.<br />
<br />
Näst störst i syskonskaran av fyra gör denna kniv till en allrounder, tillräckligt stor för lite grövre sysslor, samtidigt som den fortfarande är smidig att bära. Ett av de stora plusen med dessa knivar är att du kan montera bältesclipet på fyra olika sätt, beroende på hur du vill bära din kniv: höger- eller vänsterhänt, tipup eller tipdown. Personligen föredrar jag högerhänt tipdown.<br />

<br />
The development process of the Pro series started back in 2010 and the goal was to push the limits even further than the standard knife models; F1, S1 and A1. The extra durability of the Pro knives is enabled by; a thicker blade made of laminate cobalt steel, a stainless steel finger guard and a new zytel sheath. And all the above is delivered in a shock-resistant and water-proof box also containing a DC4 whetstone.<br />

The Premium line will replace the Classic line. The hand forged Qvarfot consist of a Swedish made slim 26" axe handle from American hickory and a 0,85 kg heavy axe head made of Swedish steel. This full size axe is one of my favorites when it comes to robust tasks around the camp. The axe is slim yet heavy duty.<br />

When it comes to knife discussions we often tend to focus more on the actual knife than the sheath. Often blade steel, edge profile and knife size are more debated than the design of the sheath or pouch surrounding the knife. I think we need to focus more on the carry systems of our knives, and how we carry them, to get the most out of our tools and the experiences they enables us. Fact is that fixed blade knives and bigger folders spend their life time mostly inside their carry systems (sheaths and pouches). Now, let us dig deeper into this great and nerdy topic!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB9nTz9cIbJd5yIriwiMPTcp-vWcgdgKjwe7rbOpIqKMkuSj1a3zB4JYXBYG7RtsdP4ks22srIfraWzjdYWxxupIASIfIY4P1d9DW_w-o7rh6rhL5xTraBix9W8M12NdQNVAKy4Q8jXf_K/s1600/Jonas_Vildmark_How_To_Carry_A_+Knife_Sheaths_519.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="1449" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB9nTz9cIbJd5yIriwiMPTcp-vWcgdgKjwe7rbOpIqKMkuSj1a3zB4JYXBYG7RtsdP4ks22srIfraWzjdYWxxupIASIfIY4P1d9DW_w-o7rh6rhL5xTraBix9W8M12NdQNVAKy4Q8jXf_K/s400/Jonas_Vildmark_How_To_Carry_A_+Knife_Sheaths_519.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

For instance; when I'm out hiking a long trail my knife spend most of it's time inside the sheath. Therefore during a long hike like this I prioritize how well my knife is fitted on to my body, rather than what type of steel the blade is made of. A lot of hikes has been disturbed by an annoying knife banging into my leg or giving me a chafe in the side. So to avoid disturbance and the risk of loosing the knife I might carry the knife inside the backpack instead.<br />
The most important aspect when choosing my edge tool is; what kind of activities am I'm planning to do. I'll probably not gonna pick the same knife for a one day ice fishing trip as for a long mountain hike. This also goes for how I choose to carry my knife. One and the same knife I will perhaps carry in two or three different ways depending on the upcoming activity.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So even if we tend to focus more on the actual knife than it's sheath; the carry system is essential to how I experience the knife. It doesn't matter if I have a great and expensive knife if the carry system doesn't enables a comfortable and safe carry. Even so; unfortunately, knife manufacturers all over the world tend to cut down the product cost by not prioritizing the carry system as high as they should.<br />

However; luckily, there are still some knife manufacturers that take pride in making high quality carry systems for their tools. I notice this by looking at the quality of the chosen materials and how well the components are fitted and attached to each other. A big and heavy knife can actually feel lighter, compared to a smaller blade, if the maker have designed a well functioning and well fitted carry system, distributing the weight in a comfortable and well balanced way.<br />
<br />
Another interesting aspect is the balance between how well the tool is secured in it's carry system, and how easy accessible the tool is to the user. I prefer to always have my knife close at hand and to be able to only use one hand when taking it out of the sheath, without having to open up velcro, straps and buttons. However; at the same time it's important to me that I don't risk loosing my blade out in the field if the knife sits too lose inside the sheath. Fortunately enough there are a wide range of design solutions on how to secure a tool in it's carry system. I will not get into all of these right now. However I can say that I usually prefer design concepts where it's the friction between the knife handle and the sheath that secure the knife inside the sheath.</div>

<b>Inside the Pocket</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Smaller folders I often carry loose inside my trousers pocket and sometimes inside a jacket pocket, hence the denomination Pocket Knife. The definition of a smaller knife in this case means a folder that isn't to big or heavy to bother or chafe inside my pocket. When carrying a knife loose inside my pocket it's important to calculate how big of a risk it is that the tool falls out of the pocket unintentionally. On some pockets without lid, zippers or buttons this risk can occur when being seated inside a car or when climbing, running and crawling. If that is the case; I use a longer lanyard attached to the knife in one end and to my belt at the other.<br />

<br />
This longer lanyard (about 55 cm) enables me to pick up and use the knife usually without having to remove the lanyard from my belt or knife. I'm attaching the lanyard around my belt instead of the belt loops of the trousers, as the belt loops may brake if the lanyard get stuck on something. If I carry the knife inside a jacket the same lanyard can be attached to the jacket instead.<br />

When I carry my knife loose inside a pocket I regularly turn the pocket inside out to shake off any rubbish from inside the pocket. I don't want this dirt to get stuck inside my knife's folding mechanism.<br />
Some folders has a ring or a hole to attach the lanyard. Folders of the right size using a pocket clip can be attached to the same lanyard and carried inside the pocket. then the pocket clip enables you to remove the knife from the lanyard if necessary.<br />
<br />
<b>Pocket Clip on the Pocket</b><br />
Folders equipped with a pocket clip (a flexible metal tongue) can be carried pinched on top of my pocket. This is a good way not to tear on the pocket liner (textile) and at the same time lower the risk of getting pocket dirt stuck in the folders pivot mechanism. Note that this way of carrying your blade is more visual compared to carrying the folder all the way down inside the pocket. Please show humble respect and concern when operating in a sensitive environment. Some people may be offended.<br />

<br />
<br />
Personally I prefer carrying my pocket clip folders tip down. Today some knife manufacturers use the clever design of offering four different set ups of holes for the user to choose and adjust how to mount the pocket clip on the knife; tip up, tip down, left or right handed. This choice is desided by how I want to grab and open my folder, especially if the folder is equipped with a one hand opening feature (thumb hole, plate or stud).<br />

<br />
An alternative usage of a pocket clip is by using a separate one, just like the one seen above. This allows for my folder to hang freely further down inside my pocket, still not touching the bottom of my pocket.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>On the Belt</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The most common way of carrying a knife is by letting the sheath or the pouch hang in the belt around my waist. Most fixed blade sheaths and folder pouches are equipped with a loop or one or several slits to run my belt thorough.<br />

The two most common fixed blade sheath designs are; high carry and low carry. Usually high carry means that the knife handle is placed almost at the same height as the belt, tip down. Low carry means that the whole knife is hanging below the belt line, tip down. Good aspects of the high carry is that the knife is secured tight against my body not risking to get stuck or slam into my surroundings. The up side of a low carry is that the knife can hang freely beneath my backpack's waist belt.<br />

Sheahts, pouches and holsters sometimes have different designs for left or right handed carry. Either way; it's up to me where to place my knife along the belt line. This also goes for knives carried horizontal; placing the knife parallel to the belt. This is a nice way of carrying especially larger blades on my waist.<br />

A high carry system often can be converted into a low carry by adding a loop or a carabiner. The carabiner also allows me to easily remove the knife from my belt without having to open and remove my belt from my trouser's belt loops. A especially designed alternative to a regular carabiner is the Casström No.3 Dangler.<br />

Some people mean that the high carry placing the knife tight against the body allows for an easier one-hand grab when taking out one's knife. But in my opinion the low carry knives also can be grabbed one-hand-only by pushing the sheath forward using my thumb pulling out the knife from the carry system.<br />
One alternative in this case can be a sheath equipped with a small hole allowing for my finger to press up the knife handle for a one handed access to my knife. One example of this concept is the <a href="http://www.jonasvildmark.com/2017/04/karesuandokniven-johtalit.html" target="_blank">Karesuandoknivens Johtalit</a> shown below.<br />

If I have to mention some down sides of carrying my tools on my belt is that they can be in the way when crawling on the ground, sitting down or sneaking around in the bush hunting. When ever I feel this is an issue; I instead choose to carry my tools inside my pockets, inside my backpack or hanging around my neck.<br />
If there's ever a risk of me sitting down up on a low carry tool it's especially important that the sheath features a plastic or antler inlay for safety. I've experienced a fixed blade going through the sheath tip almost penetrating my inner thigh while I was squatting down.<br />
<br />
<b>On or Inside the Backpack</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
When carrying a bag of some sort I always have the option of carrying my tools inside the bag. This is especially interesting for occasions when the blade is not used frequently or when I'm carrying a large and heavy knife. If I want to snap up the accessibility a notch I can strap or hang my knife on the outside of my bag. This enables me to reach the tool without having to open the bag each time.<br />

When attaching tools to my bag it's important to secure the knife inside the carry system aswell as securing the carry system properly to the bag. When carrying my knife tight against my body it's easier to feel if the knife is unintentionally dropped. But when the knife is attached to my backpack it's harder for me to feel this. Examples on where to place the knife outside my backpack is; on the top lid, along the side of the bag or attached parallel on one of the carrying straps. The above also goes for when I'm attaching my knife to a jacket or a vest.<br />

<b>Neck Knife</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I like carrying my knife hanging around my neck. It's practical when carrying a not to big or heavy knife. It's especially useful when dressed for winter. The neck knife can hang outside the clothes for me not having to lift up or undress to reach my waist line. The neck knife carry is also great when wearing light pants without a belt and pockets.<br />

More Advantages of the Neck Knife Carry:<br />
<ul>
<li>I have a good overview of my knife (safety and theft) as it's centrally placed on my body</li>
<li>I can reach my knife from both left and right hand side</li>
<li>No knife hanging from my waist risking it to get stuck or slam into object when sitting lying or crawling</li>
<li>Easy to take off or tuck inside my shirt or jacket, when needed</li>
</ul>
<br />
Some Down Sides of the Neck Knife Carry:<br />
<ul>
<li>Might be in the way while carrying other tools around the neck, like binoculors</li>
<li>Need to be aware of the choking risks of carrying objects around my neck</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Variants to the Neck Knife Carry</b><br />
One way is to just take a regular fixed blade knife an run a cordage through the belt loop of the sheath and then hang the "neck less" around my neck with the <b>knife tip down</b>. I can do a fixed knot or an adjustable knot on the string. The length of the cordage should be just as long so I can apply the neck knife over my bare head. The knife should not be hanging too far down on my chest risking to get tangled or bumping into me or other objects.<br />

Another alternative is when the fixed blade knife is so secure inside the sheath that I can mount the <b>knife tip up</b> without risking the knife falling out from the sheath. These carry systems are usually meant for up side down carry using materials like; plastic, Kydex or Zytel. This way of carrying offer a very quick accessible knife by just grabbing the handle and pulling downwards. This demands a high friction between knife and sheath to hold the knife secure when hanging up side down. The strap around the neck principal is the same as above only it's extra important that the cordage doesn't break when pulling down on the carry system.<br />

A great way of utilizing the neck cordage is to hook up a pocket clip folder to it. If the folder isn't too heavy this is a practical alternative to carrying the folder on my pocket.<br />

Besides the above ways to carry a knife there are of course a wide range of alternatives like; boot dagger, shoulder holster, inner pockets, machete on the back or the diver's knife on the fore arm. These examples are all some what exotic, so therefore I wont get into these deeper than mentioning them. However; one alternative worth mentioning a bit more is the shoulder strap. This is a longer adjustable cordage enabling me to hang my knife over the neck and shoulder. This way of carrying is in a way related to the neck knife carry, making the knife reachable outside my wither clothing. In the picture below you can see my friend Jonathan Sandén carrying a typical modern bushcraft knife hanging in a shoulder strap.<br />

Regardless of what carry system or in what way i choose to carry it; I always have the habit of now and then touching my knife to make sure it's still there. This is the best way to avoid loosing a good tool.<br />
<br />
I also want to take this opportunity to emphasize how important it is to pull out your knife in a controlled and safe manor avoiding cutting oneself or others or damaging the carry system it self. I always try to keep track of my fingers and my friends when pulling out my knife and as soon as I don't use the knife; put it back in the sheath. A good rule of thumb is to always push the back of the blade against the sheath so that the cutting edge don't damage the sheath and it's straps.<br />
<br />
Below follows some examples on how I carry my blades when out and about doing different activities.<br />

The OK1 is also Jonas Vildmark's official training knife, lent to our class participants.<br />
You get a lot of bang for the buck when choosing the OK1 and well maintained it'll last for a very long time.<br />

After some time spent with the <a href="http://www.knivestoolsandart.com/2015/02/karesuandokniven-unna-aksu.html" target="_blank">Karesuandokniven Unna Àksu</a> I got even more curious when I later got the news about the larger version; <a href="http://5583.shop.textalk.se/en/axes-1/stoera-aksu-hunters-axe-nature" target="_blank">Karesuandokniven Stoera Àksu</a>. This is a well shaped and competent tool that's easy to carry inside the backpack, and at the same time I think the Stoera Áksu is a nice sloyd axe. And the fact that the axe is good looking is of-course a great bonus.<br />

At the time of this spontaneous deal I hadn't heard about this knife model. Of course I've had several <a href="https://eka-knivar.se/" target="_blank">EKA</a> knives but I found the Swede 110 design exotic and futuristic, especially the locking mechanism.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

By pushing down on the gray button the blade is put into neutral swinging freely around its pivot. This enables you to open and close the knife only by flicking your wrist (see movie below). I don't think this was the manufacturers original idea of how this knife's blade should be maneuvered, but this is the way I've been handling the knife. When pushing down the button the blade sticks out about 5 mm reviling the nail nick that should be used for opening the folder. This robust locking mechanism feels safe as it also locks the blade when closed.<br />

The blade features a flat grind edge profile. But the primal edge bevel is very low almost giving the look of a scandi grind edge with a micro bevel. The blade has hold it's edge very well during my youth's fishing adventures and I'm very fund of this rare bird. It's bad they don't produce this model anymore.<br />

I got very nostalgic when I recently found this knife when going through my knife collection. Now almost 25 years later I even found the original case holding the original price tag of 198 SEK.<br />

Persistence's chubby spear point shaped blade comes with an extra large thumb hole and a full flat grind. These features are also to be found in the rest of the family. Also serrated versions of the blade are available. The steel of choice is 8Cr13MoV; roughly described as a Chinese stainless steel, hardness RC 56-58 and similar to the AUS-8 but with more Carbon. When talking about the edge; I really like that the cutting edge goes all the way back to the handle for maximal edge usage.<br />

<span lang="SV">The skeletonized stainless steel liners offer a sturdy handle covered by grippy black G-10 scales. The open frame pillar construction of the handle makes it easy to keep these knives clean; a good feature when field dressing game. The pocket clip can be mounted i four different ways pending on how you want to carry the knife. The knives are liner-locks and there are some moderate jumping going on both on the blade and the liner lock mechanism. </span><br />

<span lang="SV">I've had the pleasure of using a lot of different Spyderco models throughout the years and when it comes to Spyderco's robust EDCs I usually end up with the Persistence or the Tenacious. I like the Persistence for it's; robustness, compactness, good quality and reasonable price. For whittling I think the blade is too wide, but the edge still bite well in wood. Today I have a Persistence and a Tenacious, from this quartet. I would love also getting a Ambitious and a Resilience to complete the family and write a big review on all four knives together. Who knows, I hope Santa reads this post! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was through a new friend that was close connected to the knife manufacturer. At the same time, conveniently enough, I was getting contacted and asked questions about Mikov in my role as a Writer and Knife Reviewer.

I've now been carrying the Fixir 232 on a couple of hunts and so far I like it. The edge needed some polishing before use, but that was a quick fix. I'm attracted by the vintage look and the elegance of using a folder as my primer game knife when out hunting.<br />

I bought the knife back in 2001; a special time in my life and after some very pleasant use me and my beautiful wife actually used this knife to cut our wedding cake. I've tested many choppers throughout the years but I always return to this knife as my favorite among very large fixed blades.

The mighty Thor oozes of quality and robustness bout in feel and looks. The impressive almost 26 cm long and 7 mm thick blade is massive but the nice balance makes the knife feel slick in my hand. The laminated VG10 steel never back down and the blade geometry delivers a tough tip and edge, all great features in a bad ass chopper. Back in the days when I bought the knife the NL1 was delivered with a light colored leather sheath. Today the knife comes with a updated black leather sheath. On my knife a sharp edge inside the lanyard hole had a tendency to cut the lanyard. But this was easy fixed with a thin steel file.<br />
I'm really pleased with my NL1 and I hope my mighty Thor will continue by my side throughout my life.<br />
