Man you gotta love those jeff white knives. Great demo.

[@matthewsmom010902]

I sure miss these old videos 😊

[@mneptune1]

I have learned soooooo much from Dave Canterbury that I no longer even carry fire starting tools....... I just shoot lightning from my fingertips to start a fire anywhere I want This is a skill that Dave teaches to very few people so thanks Dave, your the best!!!

[@GabeMacDonnell]

One thing that I really appreciate about Dave Canterbury, is that he is one of the few instructors who really emphasizes that HE is always learning, too. He proves this by his wonderful evolution as a woodsmen, documented on video. He was always very skilled, but I have noticed a higher & higher level of craft in his approach over time. It is humbling, inspiring and something we should all strive to achieve.

[@jeredsyn1964]

Dave I stray from your videos from time to time for no particular reason. I just have a lot of different interests, but it's the videos like this that keep me coming back. Extraordinary job of igniting wet hardwood. You are the king of your craft brother.

[@tonyenglish7176]

Dave, thank you for this and all the reviews and videos you share with all of us who have a passion for the outdoors and bushcraft! I just purchased this knife in the hammered finish with the pathfinder sheath with a 1/2 inch firesteel loop. I am very excited to receive this knife. It will be my number one go to knife. I am a grad student for counseling/therapy and I work at a treatment center for young men as well where I am often taking young men out in the outdoors and I share all you have shared when I build my fires for the guys. Your experience is being passed on in very blessed ways! Thank you again for all you do! Tony.

[@NWIPrepper19113]

Excellent point about the challenge Dave. another great one. Thanks.

[@mackmcnasty27]

Thank you! This was a great way for me to show my 10yr old son the different levels of processing needed to get the materials for combustion with wet wood...

[@Chris-iu5ol]

Was about time mate to give this knive more attention. It is a very good one for an excellent price, love it.

[@brandonwells9698]

Great video Dave thanks for sharing

[@ACountryWayOfLife]

Love your videos, its just soothing to watch your videos, my wife and I tend to watch them rather than tv at night. Your dedication to survival has inspired me to start documenting my own adventures in the wild, I just started to get in to DIY stuff as well, knife making is by far the coolest thing I have done yet. Thanks again Dave for your wilderness teachings.

[@DavidJelsmaBanjo]

Another Great Video Dave! Thank You!

[@virginiacamper]

Awesome video Dave! Great to see Jeff White making good stuff!

[@galenlong3106]

As always, Dave, Great video, and Fantastic lesson. That knife sure is impressive. Working that Oak it showed some real toughness that is needed in a knife, at a price point that is hard to argue over. Good stuff.

[@thesingulareffecttse4621]

Thank you for editing this video Dave to include the proper dimensions of the knife. I was on the edge about buying this knife. I watched this video. Sent me right over. This knife is incredible. It does everything you need it to do--with style. The quality is night and day compared what I previously had, which was the condor bush lore.

[@GabeMacDonnell]

Great video, and techniques! I've ben admiring the Bush Knife for awhile. It is really a great deal for a hand forged knife, and i love the love old school look. Thanks again Dave!

[@TheSilverBinder]

Dave, I've carried a pair of Jeff's blades for years. You are very right - fine blades. They should last a lifetime of hard use.

[@GhostHawkPrepper]

I've had this knife for almost six months now. Bought it off Dave's store site after researching Jeff's knives all around online. This knife is amazing, did a full review on the store site, for the money, this knife is bomb proof. It's the only knife I use! Can't afford many $300 knives and in my opinion, just as good as a $300 knife.

[@SKKB28]

Man that thing ate through that oak like butter. And it's nice looking! I'm really liking that design. Great video as usual Dave. Thanks!

[@_Schwartz]

Thanks for another great and helpful video.

[@rdmanone]

Great video Dave. Thanks.

[@ActionHero29]

Thanks for the vid. I would love to see a video on the Jeff White Camp King please.

[@preferablystephen480]

Really like the look at specs of this knife. Good video too! Thank you!

[@gchacon316]

Great video. I'm out sharpening up my skills today, so I think I'll try this. Using what you have available is the key to every situation that presents the challenge of surviving. Thanks for the video.

[@BruceNitroxpro]

Lord knows I love GOOD advice. Knowing you can depend on your knife and your ferro rod is about the best knowledge you can have as it boils your belief in your kit down to rock bottom basics. I'm pretty sure there is always some cordage in your pockets, too, Dave... LOL And knowing what Dave wears is almost a freakin' tent, all you need is your SS canteen. Who goes out without a canteen? No one I know. Even a newbie carries water.

[@jslawnservice2002]

Awesome video Dave your video's are absolutely the truth an that's why I'm a fan

[@toddfarrington19]

I love that on youtube you show how sometimes a ferro rod takes quite a few strikes for flame. I see way to often on tv people showing it like it takes one strike in the rainforest during a flood and foolish people or newbies to the woods believe it'll be that easy

[@ReapersEXoticReps]

Dave great video. I placed a order on one today. Can't wait to get it.

[@coalcracker-tp9tn]

hey dave I was at the July 18 2014 basic class ! thanks for the awesome teaching I used the knife the one u are speaking of and it was a great knife ! love the hammered finish

[@MacFyben]

great video dave

[@portuge83]

Thanks Dave for the knife review. Been looking for a handcrafted knife and this one I've seen you use it a lot in your videos.

[@MCantrell417]

Thanks for the lesson. All good info. And, the knife looks awesome.

[@ALSAFINA11]

Great review!

[@Hatfield313]

Man that's a good price on that knife I think I'll be adding that one to the ol collection thanks Dave

[@jimmyggh1]

Been using Jeff White knives for years, love them! he Nessmuk and English trade knife are my favs

[@SupaFlyFatGuy859]

My "Backpacker" by GI Customs is just that for me! The one knife that can do anything I need it to do for me!

[@moorshound3243]

love it thank you Dave!

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Great knife and even greater lesson. Thanks for sharing! -Jacko

[@hinsonford8169]

the videos are awesome! so informative and detailed. just got your book advanced bush craft today. first book i have bought in a long time. looking forward to reading it and learning more about bushcraft. keep up the good work and the store is awesome! top notch gear and awesome knives with tons of sheath options.

[@Handsofnephilim]

I really like this video Dave thanks for the challenge trying this tomorrow

[@bluegrasssurvival9423]

Nice video Dave, and thats a good looking hard use blade!

[@Panzervagon]

One thing that's nice about Michigan is there's certainly no shortage of pine for firestarting!

[@imjoshmoore]

Great video and wisdom. Train yourself in less than optimal conditions and you truly are prepared for the worst. Beautiful blade too. I'm headed out this weekend on a little adventure and it's been raining and wet for nearly a month, so I'm definitely going to be employing the skills you demonstrated here. It's gonna be chilly out and I'm gonna need a fire to be happy haha

[@639Beaver]

Superb. Thank you Teacher.

[@wildernessfreak81]

Look like a good sturdy "Old School" knife, Nice Video!

[@lazarsjojic]

Hello Dave! You're the best! Great job you're doing! Greetings from Serbia.

[@williamkennison8920]

Dave, We have a great way of determining what we use for fire making tools around my area. First it has to be able of giving a sustainable flame source to dry out the material to make a fire. Second, we envision how simple it is to use by way of would _______ be able to build a fire using this method? Fill in the blank with the family member who is the most inept at even the most simple things such as fire, shelter and security. If you can answer yes to those questions then it goes into the pack. Always pack for mister Murphy he usually is the one with your life in his hands.

[@joaquinortega6269]

Thanks for the Review. I saw that knife on your webstore not too long age and was thinking about getting it as my all around camping and fishing knife. Now after that review there are no thoughts about it. Definitely picking it up

[@riSurvival89]

very beautiful shape, good quality and certainly very sharp, thank you for the Video, its a cool knife! LG Remo

[@1crimm]

thanks Dave

[@notwrkn2mch]

Nice video..... for a larger knife it did a great job of bringing material down real small

[@bruceprosser8332]

I have found that the choil area throws mores sparks from a ferro rod than the actual spine FWI. Love it and the Two also.

[@ikaletralleg]

I just found out about this knife and am amazed. I'm so confused I guess you could say at the price. How is a beautiful hand forged made in the USA knife retail for $60 $70, its amazing. I hope that Jeff white as the demand goes higher doesn't skyrocket his prices. And to you Dave I thank you for being the incredible human being you are. Keep up the amazing work! -Sincerely, Ellis outdoors

[@4570levergun]

That looks like a nice knife. Im using the ESEE 4 uncoated right now and it seems to be filling the need. Keep up the good work Dave. We don't really have very many hardwoods in the Rockies. Its mostly pine. And Im with averageoutlaw carry and axe. It makes making a fire a lot easier.

[@BorealWoodsrunner]

love the knife,have been eyeing it for a long time now lol

[@MegaWoodswalker]

The best thing about a Jeff white knife beyond the rustic looks is how well his heat treated 1095 responds to a strop, Holds an edge then easily strops back with leather to shaving sharp, Darn good stuff at a reasonable price.

[@FarEastSurvival]

You have to admit this is a good looking knife. Like a mini kitchen knife but one hand size.

[@ChrisWilkesSurvival]

Great knife, definitely a good common man one tool option. And great video lesson as well.

[@Ozarkwonderer]

this was a good review and a good point.

[@nathanmason5337]

Great video

[@eddietuckerjr.2858]

The knife review aside, I observed several new wood processing skill sets that I need to practice. This video was a solid diamond in the rough in that regard. Thanks Dave!!!

[@patrickivers1998]

hey dave when you get the opportunity, would you reveiw the jeff white bush one. thanks brother!

[@bennyvoncannon5134]

Good advice I cant get out as much as i would like but I got a back yard and woods What I do know what skill I do have works most everytime.

[@kullcraven]

nice knife and worked very well. should do all you need for sure. thanks for sharing once again.

[@briandrexler7627]

Hey Dave thanks for the review. I may have to get one and especially one of those Harry Potter Fero wands you sell heard good things about those rods...

[@ChileanHunter]

good video, good review, always is nice to see your vids

[@kato2531]

Always enjoyable

[@Vx777infonet]

Nice knife and outer wear, Dave C. the Jedi! (:

[@americanpatriot3667]

I really like that sheath you got for it

[@iceman4230]

im thinking of buying this knife at some point in the not too distant future, looks like a good match for the eucalyptus, iron barks and other hard woods of Australia (of course we do have some softwoods).

[@KevinSmithdc]

The Jeff White Bush knife is very well made, very durable, and does a lot of things exceptionally well (batoning wood, chopping, carving...even fine detail work). It's very rustic in appearance. The one in the video that Dave is reviewing has a hammered finish; mine is bead blasted. The one thing the knife does NOT do well is throw sparks with a ferro rod. My experience is consistent with numerous others who also have the knife. But perhaps if I took a bench grinder to the spine and sharpened it up a bit.... Still, a pretty damn good knife for the money.

[@Getoutthere247]

I want to see the knife that batons this mesquite I have out here lol. Love the video. Thanks Dave.

[@dougallen7890]

That's how I have to start most my fires, it always seems to rain or be wet when I get dirt time. Nice knife, my PLSK1 still going strong.

[@zachvelte2465]

Add a replay☺

[@mattorth3711]

most excellent going out to try now

[@WA8QFE]

I have the Bush HD, Camp King, and the French Trade Knife. All are great ! My wife wishes you weren't so near us here in Indy, ha ha. Lee, Indy

[@EatCarbs]

I stomp around in a rain forest and I don't see a lot of hard wood. Also..my tree knowledge is lacking.. I'm not even sure I have hardwood. A buddy and I made a fire.. in the rainforest.. on a rainy day. But I didn't get the making of the fire on film.. damn! Digging the knife though.. hopefully they'll be back in stock when I have the money. Thanks for the video

[@citizen1435]

Well done.

[@phrankus2009]

You have come a long, long way, in just these few short years. Getting better, all the time. Staying mellow. ... Alright, then.

[@zoranbilbiloski652]

O man I love that knife!!!

[@iamstillwellvideos]

Dave can you please do a video on proper cleaning of wool blankets. There are so many different opinions out there and all seem to say that the others ways are wrong. Would be great to hear how you go about it. Thanks

[@red6slider]

Yep this knife is on my short list :-) who knows, father's day is coming up :-) thanks for the review Dave!

[@MrMadhouse70]

Gonna try this on my favorite knife just for testing the blade. But its all about what area you live in. In my area oak is rare and pine,birch and firtree is dominating. But it will be an good test. Nice video buy the way.

[@wyattoneable]

Yes sir, lesson learned.

[@sargefaria]

HA!.....as soon as it went to speed up mode I thought you had burnt yourself lol. Silly me Good job brother

[@DavidCanterbury]

LOL, thanks brother

[@danmorgan3685]

It gave me a jump too.

[@Kayakwinds]

Sarge, it's always good to see you on station. Are you, once again, a regular with the Pathfinder School? I hope you are well, brother.

[@sargefaria]

Always been my man

[@bigfootbushcraft7063]

You look like Mick dodge out there brother. In the rainforest. Take care buddy, nice knife

[@brandonmitchell3617]

cool video dave. i have both the jeff white nessmuk and trade knife and like them both. especially for 35 bucks

[@ArtisanTony]

Nice!

[@TheHiddenWoodsmen]

There is your one log fire. Nice job dave

[@njord3983]

Its nice to see a video where someone tells what kind of wood it is. Thanks for that. I also wonder if you could make a video with a review of some "fallkniven". They seem to be very good, and since I live in sweden they seem to be the obvious choice. But I would still like som pro advice on them. =)

[@Dralvigeon]

You are Good MAN Dave .. ;)

[@Grymrod]

i got it and it is an awesome knife well worth the money

[@AliCheetham]

hello obi won

[@slaphands8441]

I like this knife and its really affordable.

[@bobihne]

...see !! I told ya Jeff White knives were good about two years ago ...lol...good Vid Dave !

[@MrStropparo]

What is that rain coat. I just ordered my camp King. I'm excited waiting for it to come in the mail.

[@ericsmith1508]

HAHAHAHAHA!! for a second there when the flame started and he began piling the kindling on I was like "GO DAVE GO!!"

[@thesingulareffecttse4621]

I would buy one for each of my brothers for Christmas. When you buy this you buy a legacy

[@onfarm6521]

I was wondering what type of ferro rod that was? i liked the thickness of it. I love the Jeff White knife!!!

[@Zazz854]

i like that tool

[@jackrabbitslim66]

Dave I notice that you have never talked about an upside down fire. Have you ever done this so the fire can feed itself allow you to do other task so you don't have to stoke the fire all night long.
