The legendary Mors Kochanski is considered by many to be the father of modern “bushcraft”. He has devoted his entire life to studying and teaching bushcraft and survival skills.

At least since the 1990s, Mors Kochanski mostly used knives made in Mora Sweden. Most of these were low-cost, plastic-handled knives made by KJ Eriksson and Frost.

In the words of Mors, the knife is the balance point for survival in the bush. Without it, you have to stay on the move. With it, you create the opportunity to rest.”

Mors always made 4 changes to better match his needs:
• The finger guard was sawn off
• The spine was sharpened to allow to scrape the firesteel
• Hole at the end of the handle to attach a string to help in case the knife gets dropped on the snow
• Hole in the middle of the handle for a wrist lanyard

NOTE: Although I was using relative slow speed with the drill and using anti-cut gloves because of the knife grab and start spinning, I should have clamped it down to reduce even more the risk of that happening.
