I really enjoyed this video! It does scare me when you cut toward yourself, especially so close to your vittal organs. I understand your technique and concept, but even the best have accidents. You seem to be more productive anyway when you turn the knife around in your hand using the chest brace. JMO. Take it with a grain of salt! lol Keep up the. great work! Looking forward to future projects!

@davidrothgeb27284 жыл бұрын
While you were able carve the tongs without incident drawing the blade towards your body invites a less skilled blade user too have an accident by a) cutting into the chest, or b) cutting through the thin strap of wood into his wrist, both would be disasters in the woods. Great projects and useful. I made my first set of chop sticks in the woods in 1971. I still regularly use them both home and away.

@11:28 why are you telling us "there is no special technique for this" and switching to the chest-lever-grip @12:40, which is much more suitable to this kinda work - using your back muscles you have a lot of force , much less tiring and more control, not so wobbly. I stopped watching then, I have no time for crap like this. BTW: get used to cutting away from your body - it's called knife-safety and an important feature of outdoor skills.
@blackhatbushcraft3 жыл бұрын
The 2 time stamps you refer to were me doing 2 different functions and different areas in the project. Apples and oranges so to speak. I am quite aware of knife safety. Draw cutting is VERY safe and if you watch experts of carving, you will see it is a VERY used and effective technique. You are able see your work much better on the draw. I demonstrate multiple techniques in this video and none of them are incorrect. Do what works for you and I will continue to do the same. I spend a lot of time with a knife in my hand. i have an excellent track record for safety.
