a short history of knives where our modern designs come from and how the material the knife was made of helped shape the design/modern bushcraft knives have evolved from early designs made to perform many tasks.bushcraft knives and by them bushcraft skills are based upon a knife thats a good design to the task at hand

Was not expecting this to be as fascinating as it was! But it was the presentation, not just the material that made it so!

Thank you Blackie, that was an outstanding historical perspective on the knives we are enjoying today! This video really should be a must-watch for anyone new to the Woodscraft/Bushcraft side of life. I have spent pretty much my entire life camping and hiking and thanks to the internet and contributors on KZfaq such as yourself, I am learning more in the last 5 Years then I did on my own before the internet. Keep up your outstanding work, it is greatly appreciated!

Another great History lesson Blackie, That long rounded end butter knife was a real Ah Ha moment. Especially when you said they ate off the back of the knife. I assumed forks were always around. A Blacksmith made me a Spork at the Renaissance festival in Texas. My Grandmother " Scottie " from Scotland used to say "Fingers were made before forks". We should seal up a W.C. Blackbird knife where they could find it Thousands of years from now. Thanks; B.K.

Your traditional folding knife vids are still my favourite on that subject, must have watched them at least 10 times over and this vid is again, a fantastic and thorough job. I'm given to believe that many earlier colonies were sometimes discouraged from trading with other nations but as long as they weren't at war with said nation as soon as they weren't around officialdom the market prevailed and trading occurred so I'd imagine you could find yourself with a blade from one of many different countries.

very true it was frowned upon by england..but it was common to find french and spanish trade knives all over the american backwoods

Great video I enjoyed hearing all the history! My only question is about the direction of the sharpened edge! Was it like a gun thing as in they ain't pointed at you or something?

@robertkoontz7865 4 жыл бұрын

I studied Aiki Jujitsu, Samurai Martial Arts, They, would pass the Sword / Knife with the edge toward them as not to offend. Also when your sitting at a table the edge is facing you. I was transcribing some kangi on an old sword for a friend, I set the blade down with the edge facing away from me and it mysteriously flipped right in front of me. Freaky. B.K.

@blackoracle69 4 жыл бұрын

when i was talkin on my percussion revolver history video i stuck my blackbird in the table in from of me..with the edge toward me a subscriber pointed out that was not a good idea since is i swatted at a skeeter or what ever i could by accident bump that edge and a WC knife will go to bone with just a little bump he was right so when i placed the blades in the stump i turned the edge away in respect for his comment

@@blackoracle69 Yeah, thats a smart thing to do. The cultural differences are interesting though. I was watching some black ladies from the Islands cut sugar cane, They were cutting towards them selves. Of course when I tried, I split my thumb in half, not the nail the other way. Then my Dad said don't cut towards yourself. I was 13 or 14.

You want to talk about sharp pointy things?? Well you have my attention. Some of the early American settlers would trade a knife (if they had an extra one) to the native Americans for goods they could use or to allow passage on their land.

@blackoracle69 4 жыл бұрын

exactly a good steel knife was a big thing back then..and it was no unheard of for a long hunter to trade a good knife for a large stack of pelts

Cite your sources, Blackie.

@blackoracle69 4 жыл бұрын

are you asking because you want to do living history and want history correct blades.? if so begin by looking at dixie gun works book selection they have many volumes of deep researched ..and well vetted books of gear and knives along the early frontiere ..the books of buckskinning will be a good source as well for other gear... as to books look up history of blacksmitthing quest for steel..a history of finding steel in the age of iron i don't want to over load you but to fully cite what i have read and did research on would take maybe 2000 + entrys from over 40 yrs of looking into the topic
