Bushcraft
Glad to see a fellow Grohmann user! I was born and raised in Nova Scotia, yet never discovered them until I moved up North. They are well regarded up here. I once met an Inuit man while on Prince Patrick Island, and right away we were comparing Grohmanns!
My first was the #104 Mini Skinner. Great EDC, and surprisingly handy. I look at it as an alternative to the Eldris, with more uses. Then I got a #4 Survival for my go-to field knife for instructing, wildlife work and remote travel. I later upgraded to the same sheath with the sharpener.
The wife and I went to Nova Scotia last year on vacation, and did a factory tour. That was pretty cool. While there, I got a #3 Army, just like my boss was issued, and she got the Ulu. She uses it in the kitchen a fair bit!
I couldn-t resist ordering an #R340S Mini Russell folder. Beautiful and useful EDC pocketknife.
Now waiting for my #1 Original, #2 Trout and Bird, two bladed folder and curved pairing knife to arrive! The pairing knife has the Xtra resin handle, and is a Christmas present for the missus.
Now, they might not carve in the same fashion as a pukka or other Scandi knives, but they are far more versatile, in my observations. The #3 is a fantastic all-around bush knife. Great useful tip, the elliptical blade slices well, excellent handle for many grips, and takes a wicked edge.
Can-t go wrong with a Grohmann, and mine join me on many adventures, paid and for fun, across the North.
Now, if only I could get a chance to use them on moose sometime this season.
Take care!

I understand you plugging a sponsors product, gotta pay the bills.
I dont understand having 11: 39min video on knives without mentioning the steel they are made from.
From what I can tell appears to be 220 stainless, if so, understand why wouldnt want to bring it up.
For last 40 of my years I carry hammer forged high carbon steel that was made 1930s.
outside of only few specialty knife making masters this type of steel isnt made. Stays sharp after long use better than any other but when is finally dull can sharpen to shave by slapping few times on leather belt.
if you at garage sale or auction and you see old carbon steel knife and wonder if was hammer forged, run your finger on the steel. If it noticeably feels like wax, has no oil on it, try polishing with clean dry cloth. After that it feels more like wax. buy it
It may take time to estabish initial edge but from then on will be your favorite blade.
If handle is bad, bring to craftsman who can make handle or sheath you like.

I own an ulu. I've yet to come across any whale blubber that needs slicing. I also have an original belt knife, and a 300S folder. The belt knife and folder are excellent quality with very useful and adaptable blade shapes. They hold an edge nicely, are straight forward to sharpen, and fit nicely in the hand. The ulu is of the same high quality, but the blade shape makes it more specialized and much less useful in the field.

Being that you are an outdoorsman who lives in a region with thick forest. I'm surprised you don't carry a knife with a scandi grind. It's all hardwood where I live and I find a scandinavian grind to be more useful for my tasks. I'm not an avid hunter or trapper but I know guys who do that regularly use scandi to gut and skin deer size and bigger. Not sure about smaller animals however.

We are very proud of Grohmann Knives here in Canada. I have their Army knife for outdoors and Ulu with block for the kitchen. Seconds are a great deal -- a knife will be 1/2 price and the defect in the handle is so minor you can't even notice it! Their factory is in the village of Pictou, Nova Scotia for over 60 years. They have won over 25 awards for their knives.

To Hell with political correctness. If things like that offend you, life is rough, wear a helmet. To this day I cannot decide whether my #1 or my #2 are my favorite, I love them both. I will say I prefer the sheath that came with the #2. I ordered the top flap model, you know, if I ever have to chase an armadilo or something. -

P. s. I don't think, k its PC to say its a women's knife. It holds incredible cultural tradition to that. I read that women would keep the same ones for most of their adulthood and even have carvings in the wood and ivory that told life events specifically for the owner!

It's not ridiculous at all Grohmann makes an Inuit knife! I doubt any Inuits make any knives these days.
How does the Grohmann folder compare in quality to a Buck 110? I notice they are 2-3 times the cost of a 110?
Also I didn't see a #3 in there? Did I miss it?

Man, I'm a woman, and I'd rather have one of those knives then a ring any day! -
But HOLY CRAP, I'm allergic to mosquitos, and that swarm would have had me in TEARS! They treat me like candy, and I can never get rid of them.

I love Grohmann knives, I own 4 of them and want to get the #4 next, sweet blade. If I needed another ulu this would be the one, it's a great kitchen and camp knife especially using it -in the pan-, as long as it is not a non-stick pan.
