Join me for part 2 of this mini-series testing out 6 classic bushcraft knife designs. In this episode, I successfully start a fire using bow drill friction fire with my trick introduced in part 1. I use an LT Wright Genesis based heavily on the Kephart style knife and a Nordsmith Canteen knife based heavily on the Nessmuk style knife. Both are iconic names in the bushcraft community, so I thought it fitting to work with them simultaneously.

And if you decide to purchase a knife from either maker, let them know SurvivoTek sent you!
Any form of friction fire takes practice and building the proper technique. Removing one variable, like sourcing the proper material in the woods, will improve your chances of success exponentially. That's why specifically when you're learning the skill, it can be much easier to purchase a cedar plank, like I did, at your local hardware store. Once you understand what types of wood have a higher success rate and once you know how to locate dry enough material in the wilderness, then begin to transition to a more natural approach. At least, that's my mentality.
