I don't practice bushcraft nor similar activities, but i like to learn such skills. A knife is a friend of any man, and it's crucial to know how to use it.
Great video and I have always been interested and wanting to learn bushcraft and survival skills since my teenage years but never could find anyone to learn from. But great advice thanks.
Thank you so much Anthony. I am glad you are tuning in here on TH-cam because there are so many good videos with information to help you focus your efforts when you are out in the woods. I appreciate your time and interest!
I will be watching more, as time allows, and sadly, my big mouth will comment from time to time! I'm just an old guy, retired, with handicaps, so you and the Corporal do my camping vicariously! (I hope the job is not too tough for you!)
You do a great job at instruction. This was very helpful. The section on choking the blade could have used a bit more on safety, not only safe practices, but illustrating why the mechanics allow this method to be performed safely. Again, good work. This is one of the better instructional video channels.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate you taking the time to tune in and comment. It is nice to hear it is in the recommended list! Take care.
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
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!
Greetings! Excellent video with many important tips! Congratulations on the channel! Already registered! Hugs from the South of Brazil, Fernando and his son Kauan.
Definitely a great video, very informative and well stated. I look forward to seeing you get more and more comfortable with your own recording style and finding a good flow for your videos. Not at all saying you don't have one, I just know it takes a lot of time for content creators to "find themselves," or however you want to say it. Thanks for all the tips, I'll be putting them to use! Keep it up!
Hey Willie and thank you for that. I appreciate your interest and support. I agree, I will hopefully always be learning and improving the quality of my videos. I definitely hope to find new ways to make the videos more entertaining and creative as I can. I appreciate you sticking around to see what's to come! Take care.
Great tutorial with some good techniques. And best of all _No Knife Abuse_ !! When it came to making the stop cuts you used the rocking technique instead of abusing the knife by belting the ***t out of it with a log and possibly destroying the knife. That alone is worth 15 or more thumbs up.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am particular over my tools (sometimes to a fault maybe :) but I try hard to use them in the most conservative way possible. If I can avoid abusing my tools I always choose to. Thank for your interest and taking the time to comment!
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.
Matt, questions about these techniques. Wouldn’t the mora garberg dig into your chest with this technique since it has an exposed tang on the butt? Would a 90 degree spines knife bother your thumbs with the push cut? Thanks for the teaching 👍🏻
That inspires me Robert that you have found a way to adapt and overcome such a major challenge! I would really enjoy seeing a video of your techniques as it would be good for anyone to know and practice as we never know when we may be in a situation where we lose the use of a hand and I am sure that others out there who may be struggling with a similar situation and may not have figured out how to overcome it yet. I wish you all the best my friend. God bless.
Recently subscribed to your channel. Watched a few videos for a while. Great teaching skills and very informative techniques. What kind of knife were you using?
Thank you so much for subscribing! I appreciate your interest and kind words my friend! The knife I was using in this video was a Wood Jewel Puuko. Wood Jewels are made in Finland. Nice little knives and not terribly expensive either.
Great job with the vid I learned a lot! Have you reviewed any of the Muela outdoor knives from Spain? They come highly recommended but I've never had one before.
Excellent instructions.What model Wood Jewel are you using? The blade seems larger than the WJ-VI Large craving knife @ 3-5/8"blade. I see the double knife set on your belt. Appears to be #WJ-V10 The 10 cm Carving Knife 4-1/8" or the WJ-V13 cn Craving Knife with a blade just under 5"
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!
@@blackhatbushcraft Thanks I have the smaller Wood Jewel carving knife. I must have taken off the secondary bevel years ago. I have a modified Scan grind more of a convex grind. "The large knife in my set is as you said 4 1/8".... with a prominent secondary bevel." Thanks for the heads up. Handles on Wood Jewel knives are very comfortable
Thank you so much for your kind words Pete! This is the Double Knife Set from RagweedForge.com. It is a great little combo. I have used both knives quite a bit over the past couple of years and always enjoyed them. Wood Jewels are a great value knife.
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. Most bushcraft knife skills are basic basic woodcarving skills and I always see people using knives wrong or not efficiently. Obviously im looking at it from a woodcarving point of view.
Thank you Scott. I really appreciate that. This is a Wood Jewel knife, they are made in Northern Finland. Kellam knives are also made in Finland so there are definitely some resemblances in the style. I own three Wood Jewels and I really do like and enjoy using all three. Thanks for watching!
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.
I understand your meaning but on this particular knife there is a very deep finger choil my index finger is riding it. It is just a function of the knife design. Thank you for watching and for commenting.
This is one of the best tutorial videos on knife handling that I have ever seen. Well done!
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend! I really appreciate your interest and support.
It IS good. I get so tired of mumbling and muttering and off-topic harping - nah... And I have NEVER seen a bad video from Matt.
excellent advice and great knife tips.
Thank you so much Lonnie. I really appreciate you watching and your kind words my friend!
Absolutely vital information here, this is a very well explained and a great topic. Thanks
Thank you so much Michael! I really appreciate you watching and your kind words.

I saved this video to my downloads. Such a useful reference video.
Thank you Susan! I am glad this was helpful for you! I truly appreciate your time and interest to tune in to these videos. Take care and be safe.

Well, that was educational. I did this stuff, very crudely and instinctively, but now, I actually know what I am doing! THANKS!
That is excellent! I am glad that you found the video helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to tune in and comment!
I will be watching more, as time allows, and sadly, my big mouth will comment from time to time! I'm just an old guy, retired, with handicaps, so you and the Corporal do my camping vicariously! (I hope the job is not too tough for you!)

By the way, what kind of knife were you using? I like that palm swell!!! Good looking blade!!
Thank you Michael. This one was a Wood Jewel. It's a Finnish Made Puuko. They are great knives at a reasonable price.
Thks Matt, I am looking at Steel Wills CutJack too!! Man that is a good looking folder!! God bless
Good . Nice Wood Jewel puukko/leuku set .
Thanks for the tricks! It would have been great to also see the baton technique
Just hit the subscribe button too. Very informational and structured presentation, especially those safety tips.

I only have 1 usable arm and hand (due to a stroke 8 1/2 years ago) so I've had to come up with my own techniques.

Indeed it is. I own 3 of them and they are all a joy to use. I really enjoy the knives and the excellent sheaths as well.

I think the 3rd grip is all fun and games to your dog or someone bumps you from behind and yo loose an eye

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.
This is better than mors kochanski.
Have you seen Tactical's typical bushcrafter
I have not. I'll look him up.
I put that in the search bar but didn't come up with that. Is that the channel name?
Your index finger is very far forward ...... not good on a puukko ...... especially with high carbon knives ...... Happy Camping .....
I understand your meaning but on this particular knife there is a very deep finger choil my index finger is riding it. It is just a function of the knife design. Thank you for watching and for commenting.
Real puukkos don't have finger guards :-) you go straight from handle to blade ;-) - I suggest .... be careful please ......
Omg a fake pukko...with a choil...call the bushcraft police!!.
