I planned to backpack in the Mojave Desert in the late 1990s. Before heading out I stopped by a local camping shop in Twenty-nine palms to buy a freeze-dried meal or two to round out my food bag. I was surprised to find that the backpacking shop did not sell any of the lightweight foods and was informed that in that arid area hikers relied on canned food which did not require water to rehydrate the contents. A knife with an opener would still be a needed tool. Plus, the added weight of stove fuel could be reduced thus extra water can be carried for drinking instead of cooking.
Fun and informative video. I never really thought about the why to when the can opener was improved or updated. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day. P.S. I feel the can opener is still a very usable and a needed option on a knife.
I loved the video Mike. I sent you pictures over on your instagram of the can opener on that old 1926-1938 Colonial “Scout” camp knife. It is interesting how the pocket knife can openers evolved over the decades. You and your family have a wonderful weekend brother. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I been wanting a can opener video from you and here it is. Might be cold enough this week to make some VB soup so you can try them all out. You didn’t pick up the Case, was that an over xx 40-64? I see the Buck Sprint Pro is going to continue to be a staple in 2025 👍
@alfonsedente9679 Well, it was the history of the can opener, not the operation of the can opener. Good idea, though. I put one together on how to use a can opener. Thanks, Alfonse. 🙏
@rasputinscastle the constant fondling of the cans implied there would be a demonstration. Its like watching a video of guy sit in his antique car and talk about it for 30 minutes with the keys in his hand, but never starts it up.
@alfonsedente9679 yep, I get it. It's a good suggestion 👌 I'll do a video using the different can openers to see which one works the best. Good idea, brother 🙏
Great information. I want to dub the can opener on the blue handled knife the “Beaver Tooth” 🇨🇦🦫. Now I wonder, where and when did the church key come into play? Have a great weekend. Be safe down there!

@RandyKuppless I've hiked that area the hard way. Made several trips to twenty nine palms 🌴, when I was in the USMC.

Thanks, Jeff. I'll check it out. 👍
@ you’re welcome Mike. You will remember it when you see it. You helped me date that camp knife.
Great video! Thanks for sharing and some good information!
@davidwilliams1805 You're welcome, David. It was fun to make. 🙂

It's a '97. I just finished cleaning it up. Stay warm. 🙂
3:01 what that knife called. My dad has one that my grandfather gave him as a boy.
@babstrluebibbon16oz21 The first silver one is a yacht knife. The second one is a Schrade Cutlery company utility knife.
@rasputinscastle that looks to be it, thanks
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks brother 🙏
Didnt even show how any of the old design openers work.
Waste of a video

You're always giving me more work. Looks like we're all going to enjoy a polar vortex this weekend.
@@rasputinscastle Haha! You're welcome! Oh joy. Time to round up the firewood.
