Australia.<br>I read a lot of articles regarding metal properties. Carbon steel is definitely hard, light weight , amazingly sharp , easy to be resharpened and not easy to be blunt. Don't use it to chop. <br>I watched a documentary video regarding some minority tribes in Siberia who play survival game for their whole life . They choosed iron axe , forest knife as fudamental survival tools though their handmade mink boot worths several Rambo's knife.<br><br>I myself like very primitive , very cheap and self-make survival tools instead of modern technology .<br><br>I am constructing a "shot bow " which combines the advantages of a cross bow , archery , fishgun , and must be light weight , occupies no space , cheap , precise , long range , easy to make with a Victoronix multitools knife ( I have already given up using my Buck's knife )<br><br>I enjoy talking in this forum and I learn a lot from you guys.<br><br><br><br>
