I appreciate your instruction technique; very clear and methodical. One thing that the Old Timers stressed, probably because the available leather sheaths were so flimsy, is to always carry your fixed blade behind your hip bone (they didn’t have scout carry) to prevent the tip from puncturing your femoral artery in the event of a fall. Gives me the willies when I see folks hanging their sheath up front. Thanks for sharing. ATB /Jase
@blackhatbushcraft4 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for the kind words! I have never been comfortable with my knife being in a position other than far back on my right hip. I tried a few times carrying it cross draw on my left hip but it just isn't natural for me. I have a couple of those old flimsy sheaths and they make me nervous indeed! A wet leather sheath also scares me as well. The knife can go through it like butter. It try to protect my sheath and knife from getting wet at all times. Take care!

BHB, Nice tutorial. I notice that you have the two knife WoodJewel set on your belt. The smaller blade is 2-3/8" and the larger is 3-1/2". In the demonstration it appears that you're using the Wood Jewel 5+" carving knife or the Leuko. What are you using?Does wood Jewel make a set like that? I've been using the smaller 2-3/8" Wood Jewel for about 15+ years and enjoy using it. I see WJ also makes a Leuko-Puuko set, the Leuko is 7". I already have the Roselli 7" Leuko which is a very effective tool. Always appreciate your work.

I think its called just the double knife set. I use cm because i dont know it by inch, but it has 6 cm, and 10.5 cm blades i believe. Well they look like Laurin metalli blades, and they are pretty good quality for the money. Most of these finnish knife makers use laurin metalli blades to keep costs down.

The large knife in my set is as you said 4 1/8" and the short is 2 3/8". I love the ergonomics of these knives. My only complaint would be that the grind comes with a prominent secondary bevel. It is functional for sure but makes sharpening a little more tricky. Thank you for your time, interest and kind words Lewis!

I would think if you are being aware, that would be quite a rare scenario (It has never happened to me in many hours of knife work). I also think that when being unexpectedly jolted forward, any knife grip would be dangerous. I actually think falling forward, the traditional hammer grip would be as dangerous as any with the point of the blade being up toward your face.

The only advice I can give to any bushcrafter. Is to learn how to actually use a knife from a woodcarving pro/expert. And I say this cause.
