When it comes to choosing people who you might want to be hanging out with during an apocalypse, leave it to those who are masters of upcycling…especially those who are also skilled in making crude weapons. Knife maker Trollsky of Poland recently uploaded a video to YouTube that shows his process of turning a leaf spring from an old Jeep into a sort of machete/knife hybrid. While there is little other information on Trollsky other than his library of other knife making videos on YouTube, it’s safe to say that his skill at turning rusty old metal into something useful is nothing short of a delight to watch.
