A broken piece of ceramic rod is capable as a flint, as well, on the broken end. I have used that quite a bit to light charcloth. Also on an off note, I carry a five inch piece of an old anode rod from a water heater. They are made of pure magnesium, usually, and are very light weight. I rarely use it, but instead of using up my fero rods in harsh conditions to make shavings, I just scrape off the anode rod. Just a bit of a weird learning tip. Much purer magnesium than most don bars.
Dave what you said about the part of the blade near the handle being what most use for fine carving tasks is the biggest reasons I HATE partially serrated blades. That is the exact spot most cutlery companys put the serrations.
I've never even thought about using the stone like that! i always learn something new! thanks for your videos!
Dual survival was never the same without you!
Nope, it honestly never occurred to me that a sharpening stone would throw sparks. One of the things that I love about your videos are the solutions that were staring us in the face.
Dave is my spirit animal.
I never thought about using the sharpening stone to start a fire, thanks Dave!
If you see someone scraping a firesteel with their cutting edge, take their knife away, they don't deserve it😂. Awesome tips and tricks Dave
I've always wondered why more people don't realize the sharp edged spine of a knife or machete makes a great shaver for fine tinder. Dry bamboo works great if you have a source, and makes a bundle almost as fine as roughed (rolled between the palms) cedar bark, my all time favorite tinder.
Moras truly are little workhorses. I carry one in each of my bugout bags as a back up knife for emergency situations or for meal prep / carving around the campfire. My PLSK-1 is always on my hip when I'm planning an outing though!
I love these videos! You are such a good teacher - no bs just the skills and reasoning!
Thanks Dave. Never thought about using that exposed tang for scraping... awesome!
Absolutely AWESOME information here! Thanks for posting this one.... keep'em coming Sir!
Wow Dave! How did I not think of the hard Arkansas stone to spark fire? It's the next logical step, but although I should've thought of it, I didn't. Thanks for helping us connect the dots. :)
Always fascinating the techniques he teaches. Especially his knife skills and fire starting.
Watching your videos helps keep me experimenting in the woods. Thanks and God Bless.
Great video, learned a couple new tricks. Thanks Dave!
That whetstone trick is awesome! Seems so logical when you explain it. Never would have thought of it tho
I love your fantastic skills!!! Thanks Dave, for everything you make for us... Saluti dall'Italia....
Great video Dave. Thanks a lot
Great video Dave keep up the good work, your videos have inspired me a lot over the years
All the best
A buddy of mine blundered into that sharpening stone x blade method while using a stone to make a 90 degree spine on his Tramontina machete.
Since then, scraping the spine of the machete has become the favorite fire starting method In group.
Very good! Thx for showing!
A high carbon Shefield knife honing steel gives off great sparks as well when struck with a sharp flint
Good to see Rufus making his star studded appearance haha
I find this trick works extremely well for starting a fire. its a bit heavy and unweildy but bringing a flamethrower into the woods its a great source of campfires.
PS. love your work Dave, 21st century longhunting is exactly what I needed
Another great video thanks Dave!
Very entertaining and full of knowledge as always Dave keep it up buddy love your work.
Good stuff, especially using a sharpening stone to produce sparks.
Thanks
hear you Dave, I do the same thing. each of my bags, and I have a few, has a wet stone. even my EDC pouch has a ,Lansky, in it. had not thought about using the stone as a striker though. Thanks and prayers
Good stuff Dave! Great tidbits to expand ones options. God bless!!
great video Dave, thanks.
This I would never have thought about. Great video.
Another great presentation Dave... Things like this is why I subbed
Dave is King! Thanks man.
Great trick and tip on sparking the knife and sharpening stone there dave. Great looking camp too. Many thanks. Regards shane.
Thanks for the valuable tips !
I appreciate the knowledge you give out
I absolutely agree. I grind a 90 degree spine onto every fixed or locking blade I own.
thanks again for your time and knowledge
I always learn something from you. Your a wealth of information. Glad you started doing these videos.
Great video! Love all your videos!!
I always have a wet stone in my pack and would never have thought to use it to create sparks off my knife. Great video Dave
Another Cowabunga tips.! Cheers for sharing mate.
dave is a REAL pro, he makes this look easy
I have never learned more from any other bushcrafter/survivalist than from you Dave! Still miss you and Cody on DS. I would very much like to join to FaceBook group to keep up with everything your doing if you'd allow me and possibly message me the link, or comment it if you dont mind. Thanks & God bless brother!
Thank you sir appreciate you explanation and expertise!
Great video as ever !
Another Zen moment ! Good stuff .
I went to your website to look for the sharpening store you described in this video. I could not find one with the description you gave in the video. Pictures of those on the website were not detailed enough for me to identify the beveled edges, fishing hook groove or rounded sharpening edge for hook knives. Could you please provide a link? Thanks! This stone would make a great gift for my husband and son!
great video. No I never thought about the first tip of the sharpening stone. good info
Great video. Thxs
nice very cool Dave
Love ya Dave
Whetstone? Great idea! I would have never thought of that one and probably would've froze if I was in the situation to use it.
Thank you very good tips
thats super info!!! thanx and as allways your on top !!
Thanks David. I'd never thought of the potential to use a pocket stone as a flint.
Great stuff
Great Video as always Dave, We thank you brother... Really missing the camp cooking and cooking in general videos..Any thoughts on when your going to do some more cooking over the fire in the field?
Good tips (as always!)
Well you made my day David
Didn’t know that using a sharpening stone can like a fire. 👌🇬🇧
Very good. Thank you very much
great video.
Awesome trick!!!
Dave, have you ever explored starting a fire with a magnet and a coil of wire? never runs out...
Thank you for the tips and tricks. Where can I get that sharpening stone with the different edges? Couldn't find it on your websites.
Thanks buddy!
Very slick!
Thank You .
Good tips and tricks! Thanx a lot :-)
Outstanding
So I get the point of having the right tool for the job when in the woods. But I have always failed to understand why the right tool for firestarting isn't a bic lighter. They're light, they're $1, and they carry their own tinder (butane). If I'm going to go to the trouble of carrying a multi-pound axe in the woods, I'm surely not going to notice the few ounces that a bic lighter takes up. It is, after all, the proper evolution of "flint and steel".
well so much for buying a DC4 sharpener... as usual, thank you very much for your bushcraft wisdom dave! :)
alzathoth get the cc4
The newest from Wazoo has all the features of yours and it’s smaller than the one you’re wearing. Always great content Dave.
Dave you are a rad dude!Thanks for all your hard work.How do you or anybody out there into survival feel about the french OPINAL knife?Im stoked on my N°9,Thanks again
dave i just want to say you are an inspirational teacher i use to watch duel survival when you were on it and when you left i quit watching it then i found this channel a few years ago and have been watching it ever since i just want to say keep up the amazing work youve taught me alot and thank you for your time in putting these videos together if you ever find yourself in michigan look me up ill cook you some bbq venison
dave you are the best :D enyoing all your videos
Great stuff, Dave. Any reason why you don't pound the poplar or cedar bark, always found that to be quicker and better at making fines. Just a thought.
HI Dave, do you plan to write any more books? I have all of them so far and find them by far, the most informative, no nonsense survival book's on the market. keep up the good work brother.
Effing brilliant!
Say Heah Dave, Thanx You.,,.
Quarts is a hard stone it is white in color easily found !
Excellent video to reiterate the basics...anyone know if there is a video on that log tripod in the background? I vaguely remember one...
good tips
Thanks Dave, the stone idea is something I will definitely try. In your opinion, what is the best way to engineer a sharp spine on a blade that doesn't damage the integrity of the steel? Maybe something you can use for high carbon and stainless.
I like your message. May I suggest you add a location for the viewer to get the tools you use. RWB
Hi Dave I am an ex UK paratrooper and extensively trained in jungle and e+e I Never thought about using the back of the blade to get the fine shavings every day is a lesson 👍 great work mate
Thank you for the tips! If you were to use water on a stone in the winter and it were to freeze, would that ruin the stone? Also, if even sharpening stones can be used with the knife like flint and steel, then would glass work too?
Hey Dave I don't see that stone on your site. The one with multiple angles. Where can I get one?
Dave, didn't you used to carry a diamond rod? Love your videos, just wondering if that is still a reliable option.
With the knife of that size i use the tip and the curve most. In fact i rarely use the first two cm of the blade.
Where did you get that pendant stone?
How do you store all the homesteading, bush craft, hunt , fish, 10 C's of survival tools that you own? Do you have an equipment storage room with containers of different fire starting tools, knives, cook ware, hunt and fish tools etc.How do you organize and catoragize all of the different equipment that you own?My garage is over flowing! lol
Sweet deal man. Good ideas.
Do you still sell those stones? I could not find them on the website great vid btw 👍
Thanks Men.:-)
Very intuitive Dave, Thanks :) I have found that after making a few knives, i like to use Windex or something similar that is water based to spray onto my stones, and it seems to lift the metal dust out of the stones very well.
350th view!
Thanks for the video dave
never thought about the sharpening stone trick, cheers Dave
