THE FORGOTTEN BUSHCRAFT KNIFE PART 1

IN TODAYS KNIFE WORLD FEW TALK OF THE FOLDING KNIFE AS A PROPER BUSHCRAFT / WOODSCRAFT TOOL. YET I NTHE PAST THE FOLDING WAS A BIG PART OF THE WOODSCRAFT SKILLS. THE GREAT NESSMUK CARRIED A FOLDING KNIFE AS PART OF HIS KIT TO HANDLE THE SMALL CUTTING CHORES . A BIG BELT KNIFE IS COMMON TODAY BUT DONT RULE OUT THE HUMBEL FOLDING KNIFE IF IT IS OF GOOD QUALITY PREPER SHARPNESS IT WILL SERVE WELL.

At six years old my stepfather gave me my first pocket knife and it was a Barlow. My first fixed blade knife was a Buck 119, I was eight years old. I got my first firearm that year too, a Winchester. 22 tube fed slide action rifle. Needless to say, I was one happy camper. My stepfather was an awesome man and started teaching me skills at a young age.

[@wiseraven2000]

I like my rangergrip it's comparable to the old-timer and I also carry a small double-bladed hatchet along with my camping Swiss army knife just a random question where did you get your hatband I really like your hat band

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

good set

[@zippitydoodah5693]

I've been carrying my Cub Scout knife for 38 years now. Blade, awl, flat head screwdriver, bottle opener. Made n the USA ( New York) by Camillus. It has never let me down.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

they are good pocket knives i know several people over the years that still carry the cub scout

[@BBQDad463]

I still have my Cub Scout Knife as well. I got it when I was seven years old, back in 1959. I keep it not-quite shaving sharp. It has done many jobs well. About ten years ago, I placed it in "Retired" status; this, due to my increasing absent-mindedness. I feared I might misplace it. It rests in a place of honor on my fireplace mantle. It is good to know that there are those who still keep some traditions alive. Carry on, Scout!

[@zippitydoodah5693]

I don't go anywhere without my old Leatherman Wave. It's been on my belt for 23 years and has been ued for everything from food prep to camp chores and more.

[@jimstillwell4668]

Amen brother. I also carry a wave, best multi tool I have ever owned. And yeah been carrying for about 20 years.

[@MWoodslore]

I'm still carrying the Leatherman Fuse" Discontinued but strong AF . I Just wish they would have put a saw blade in it instead of Scissors

[@ninjasquirrels]

I miss my Wave, I didn’t think they still make and sold it?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

leatherman knives are good and i know to many that is the pocket knife to them

[@RandoCalrisiann]

Mine too! Love my old Wave!

[@CentralKyBushcraft]

My Dad always carried a Case 6295 whenever we were out. He did everything under the sun with that knife! From cutting up food to making traps and triggers. That knife is one of my most prized possessions. The memories I have of him with that knife make it priceless.

[@maxlutz3674]

That presentation is nicely done. It´s always nice to see that knives that just work do not do it by chance. It´s the result of careful design. The classics are still around for a reason. The folder also is less visible and doesn´t spook people you meet. In my neck of the woods that might be an advantage.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

many times it is a big advantage

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

[@tracythorleifson]

I’ve had the Uncle Henry version for decades, one of the early ones with the heat treated stainless blade. Perfect for processing deer. The saw is more for the pelvis than the breastbone. The blade is heavy enough to just rip up through the cartilage around the breastbone. But it’s also light enough and maneuverable enough for deboning. The Buck 110 is good, too, but I prefer the slightly longer, thinner blade on the Schrade. Heck, I’ve even used it to clean fish. That’s pretty versatile! 😃

[@ethanbox2010]

To me, folding knives is an infinitely more interesting topic than fixed blades. These are the knives you keep on you everyday. People have fixated on fixes blades for so long. But, more and more I see them putting their fixed blades in their pack, or even just in their vehicle. As you gain more experience, you realize fixed blades are just cumbersome. And, with enough practice, you can meet all your needs with a proper folding knife.

[@jeffpeters4497]

Great video! As a teenager back in the 70's, I always carried a Schrade Uncle Henry LB7 Bear Paw for big work and either a Schrade Barlow or a Case 2 bladed Copperhead detailed work. The 2 knife combo never let me down or left me feeling like I needed more knife. I carried the 2 knife system for 20 years in the Army I still to this day carry a 2 knife system.

[@michalurbanful]

Funny how back in the day they used fixed knife for food and folding knife for whittling. And today we have it partially reversed. :D

[@John-wo5bp]

Blackie I always has my sak in walnut scales or my schrade barlow but uk knife laws are changing because of animals going around sticking one another I always carry my hand carved oak shillaglah fighting stick it's a walking aid but a martial art of Ireland I always look forwards to seeing your content due to very strict uk knife laws a locking blades arnt allowed for edc but I prefure nostalgia like Tom soyer carving handy fun items with my sub 3 inch legal carry barlow if its good enough for Tom soyer or huckleberry finn it's good enough for me too I absolutely love schrade pocket knives and rough rider great quality and price 🍻🇺🇲👍🇮🇹🦊🐾

[@forestgnome55]

Hi Blackie! I have noticed a trend, as I am getting older, my knives are getting smaller. When I was a kid I thought you needed a bayonet or a trench knife but now I carry a Victorianox pioneer and a Mora . Regards and best, Pink.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

[@srbontrager]

I have a Fieldmaster kicking around somewhere. However, my favorite for a bushcraft/fieldcraft folder is the Victorinox Rangergrip 78. I realize it doesn't have the scissors, but it has the larger saw and main blade. In addition, the main blade is a lock back and is a one hand opener.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

nice

[@CandidZulu]

This style of folder is very old, they usually hade two blades, one clip and one with a straight back (Case still makes them like that). I have a Schrade like yours, it's a big heavy knife, but don't weigh more than a Buck 110 actually. Perhaps a little less even!?

As a young man ( long ago ) I carried many Schrade Old Timer knives (this very model ) and I thought the Old Timer name was Ironic . Fifty years latter I still carry Old Timer knives ( old stock \ U.S.A. made ) but now I find the Old Timer name accurately descriptive . Great video . Thank You .

😅 me too, but ever had clones, hard to find at a good price a 110 overseas but there are clones at one fiveth of the money and not so bad quality . I did a round to the world and use those folders also to open coconuts. Regards from Uruguay

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

Good point and excellent video brother! Something to mention is Nessmuk and all these guys what they did is develop a system that worked for them and their preferences. They can work for us, but we can also develop our own. We are lucky in a way they weren’t as we have so many more options to choose from. Makes it harder in a way.

[@jamescrissey6031]

Victorinox ranger wood 55 is my in between knife awesome video

[@ahayseed654]

Felix Immler demonstrated how to safely baton with a SAK folder so you don't damage the pivot. Only open half way and grip at the pivot point. No stress on the pivot. Like that knife, Blackie.

On my 21st birthday I got a Schrade Old-Timer two bladed knife like what you're using on this video. I've went through several folding knife sheaths but the knife has made a lot of work easy. I'm 67 years old now and I use it all the time. Old timers knives are the best.

[@Proudloser95]

My dad just gave me his old case knife he had in Vietnam on a destroyer in the navy. I don’t want to use it because of its history, but it’s still a awesome knife. Unbelievably strong lock up still like yours. Blades were used every single day on rigging lines. Grind’s aren’t even, yet ludicrous sharp. My dad said only one guy on the destroyer knew how to sharpen knives so all the sailors would give him their knives to sharpen 😅. I cleaned it up and sharpened it just the way his friend did it and didn’t change the angles. I think I’m going to frame it, even though it’s a great knife still. I’ve never seen a knife so worn yet so tight still. I’d depend on that knife any day even still.

[@BBQDad463]

Such a knife well deserves to be framed.

[@lmaoparkes3199]

thanks for the advice

[@StevanOutdoor]

Fully agree with the video but its a pull saw. SAK's have a push and pull saw. Not that that matters much. In fact Les Hiddins know as 'The Bush Tucker Man' used a simple non locking folding knife almost all the time. Of course 'tucker' means food because 80% or more of what you do has to do with food prep. The reason why I prefer a fixed blade for food prep just has to do with cleaning the knife. If the knife is all covered with guts and blood I want to be able to piss it clean. Of course rins of with a little fresh water. There's a reason you don't see folding knives in a professional kitchen. But CAN they do the job? Absolutely.

[@BingWatcher]

Excellent advice on the importance of the folding knife

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you

[@kukuri007]

If I may correct you, it’s a 225 OT. OT for Old Timer. I have an older US made example that’s in really good condition. I also have a US made 25 OT . The main blade on it has been sharpened a bit it’s still in pretty good condition. I really enjoy what you do on your videos and have been subbed for around 3 years now, possibly longer. Take care now.

[@jackpierce9355]

I am 73 years old.I remember when I was 9or10 my uncle carried old timer folding hunters.He never carried a belt knife.He always had a freezer with 2 years supply of wild meat.The knives had one two blades.The blades were very sharp,if you touched them you would cut yourself. The blades were pretty worn ,from years of use.This was in Redfield Arkansas.

[@travisbishop4840]

My sister bought me one of these for my 20th birthday. It came with a brown leather belt sheath. I never used it. I put it in my drawer still in its box and that's where it stayed since 1982. I already had my Buck 110, Case bone Trapper, and Uncle Henry 3 blade Rancher with those yellow scales.

[@SoldierDrew]

You have a thoughtful and generous sister.

[@Gunsmith-4570]

Carried a buck 112 for years, I am a firm believer in that size of folding knife it is just a good tool.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it gets the job done

[@gregchandler900]

I LOVE old timer. My grandfather used to love to talk about how great they were

[@Steakfrie]

Nice concept for this knife but what use is the not easily replaced saw once it dulls? A ferro striker? Reground to an awl? I've prefered the 25 OT for having two sharpenable blades. Got my first in the '70's and a gifted one in the early '80's. I rarely go into the woods without one. A fantastic backup if not a light weekend primary. A separate, longer, more efficient saw seems a better option.

Using these 3 blades i make everything fron eating utensils, drinking cups and aything else bushcraft, but everyone is different, everyone's skills and needs vzry, and what works works,,, good luch and happy trails, if you see sasquach. Smile say hello, wave and go on your way. If you see a ly an run. Your being hunted.

[@patrickbuechel2599]

As fir fire wood i just let the fire do the cutting, i pull up dead fall branches and drag them up broken end first and just keep feeding it into the fire, big branvhes i lay across the fire and cut it in half with fire, i lay and/or(drive stakes into the ground to make stacking brackets) stack suitable logs next to the fire to make a radient heat reflector, thank you for the informative and welld done video,,, doing is the best xchool. Trial and error leads to inovations, necessity is the mother of invention,,,remember, the most important And valuable tool you have in ANY situation is y o u r Brain. That self defense move in the commercial is called "Aiming the Spear" from the Tracy's Kenpo karate, a most useful technique from the orange(2nd color belt) belt kata, dart from yellow belts id a finisher but you have to be willing to take a persons sight from at least 1 eye., the wrist lock they teack will set up the finishing move with strike to the tripple heater area of the jaw right in front of the ear either side, a knock out pressurd point(this combo move you would be wise to practice it until you own it. Same with any self defense move, you Must commit 100%, you need to,,,recognize a situation coming, no metter how surprised you are,,,you have to bait them in(unless of course in casses of total surprise),,,set them up for what you want to do, exicute your finishing moves flawlessly. Aiming the spear is a 2 part technique, you break the nose by splattering across one eye or the othe then deliver an open fist blow to the solar plexus just below the sternum,,,fight over,,,this all transpires in milisecons from start of the assault to your lsst movement,,,practice untill you own ot, pay attention to where you are and whats going on, in an encounter commit 100%, if you own aiming the spear, really own it there ia sothing the attacker can di is go down, and if you punish them with "the dance of death" good for you, but dont beat their face, head and body too badly, you dont want to get arrested, best to just defuse the situstion annd move away to a safe place, and remember what happened exactly, dont talk to the police any more than you have to, dont 'offer' them info, they try to make you the crimial no matter how stellar your reputation is. I have been in 4 situations involving 3 guys at a time, each time some cop on the scene wanted to arrest me because i layed them out, 2 time i interviened and rescued women in distress being attacked by know rapist gangs(i didnt know they were rapist), one in 1979 they were beating a struggling woman and trying to get her into a van on a bloomingdales parking lot, i layed em out, a cop on scene wanted to arrest Me! A ranking officer sent me packing and put me down as an inocent good Samaritan saving the woman and dissappearing,,,a nurse at 3AM got out of her car on a dark street in front of her inner city home when accosted by 3 thugs, in 2001 just as i walked around the corner with my girlfriend out on our regular 5 mile late night walk, i laid them out, again one of the cops wanted to arrest me on the scene, i knew the Sgt. on scene who sent my girl and i packing for home, same repore, good Samaritan yadda yadda yadda,,,the other 4 times were bloody bar fights, no cops called. One more thing, the bad guys practice their criminal skills to flawless perfection and a situation evolves lightning fast, so be prepared,,,carry if you can, commit if you draw, you cant flourish or brandish,,,good luck, Again, thank yuo for an excellent video on usable bushcraft ❤❤❤❤❤😮😊

Not sure where this batoning bs came from - I spect the same guys that are always coming with new rifle calibers that everyone must have - never ever used a knife to split wood who the hell would do that - what do these guys think hatchets are for - but what if I don't have a hatchet - I never heard of going camping without a hatchet - been hunting with the same guys for over 50 years(three of us anyway) the rest for more than 20 years have never seen anyone split wood with a knife - actually never knew splitting wood was called batoning - but then I never knew camping was bushcrafting either!

I have an old timer, but the second blade isn't a saw but what I can only describe as a skinning knife. I have the leather sheath as well. Both edges are keen as long as I've owned them.

[@BBQDad463]

The old Schrade and Uncle Henry knives were good tools. I carry a SAK, a folding saw, and a large (11" overall) fixed-blade knife I made myself back in 1980. The fixed-blade is made of 440C and, in concert with the folding saw, can do all that I need to do, with the SAK reserved for the fine stuff.

A saw blade is hard to find on a knife . Reciprocating saw blades are a possible substitute . I had a great Remington knife with a saw blade but gave it away and can't find another as good.

[@bmphil3400]

A Case stockman is a really good alternative. You have three blades before you absolutely have to sharpen. My dad used a stockman or trapper moar of his life.....then went to cheap buxk kickbacks because he hated to sharpen....he used a fine belt sander on them in his later years he hated sharpening so much. He was a master machinist in the nuclear industry.....i think he lapped and sharpened tools for so long he got to hating it.

[@JohnTBlock]

I've found the Cold Steel Bushman knives to be a cheap, hard-working chopper, well suited to the Batoning chores you may need. Big, but very lightweight strapped to your pack. Add a short handle, it's an excellent chopper. A long handle gives you an emergency spear!

[@hildolfrdraugadrottin7279]

I love my old Old Timer knives. I've got their big two blade model with the 1095 carbon steel like they use to use. I've got a couple of their smaller knives too and an old Craftsmen stockman model that I'm pretty sure they made as well in the good old carbon steel. It's one of my favorite carving knives. I've got more than a few spendy knives but the Old Timers from way back are still some of my favorites. The only way they are lacking is they don't have locking blades but I've never had one fold up on me. I'm 62 and when I was growing up they were considered top shelf knives. Most of their new stuff sucks imo. That's what's happens when big corporate companies buy out the old made in the USA companies it seems.

[@jacobbeal2845]

A knife is a tool. Tools can be used to make other tools. If you need to split something, use the knife to make wedges. Works like a dream and protects your knife.

I have always carried a large case or my buck 110 any time I am camping hunting or just out in my kit in the truck

[@briarsmoke6046]

I always wished Buck would make the 110 with an added wood saw blade. They made the crosslock but that was a bone saw with a gut hook. I know Boker made one for a while but it was really pricey.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i wounder if the fact the 110 is kinda thick so they did not want to add to it with another blade

[@lonewandererbushcraftwildc6822]

It is a great old skool knife like the buck 110. However because it doesnt have a lock back on it i would not use it to bore holes on the off chance that it might close up on your fingers if you put too much pressure on the blade. Which has happened to me in the past & ive been using knives for over 30 years it could happen to anyone. I will always bore holes with either a fixed or lock back knife never one without.

[@Glockler]

I like how there's a slight forward sweep to the blade, is that done much today on knives?

[@Glockler]

Do they make those combo knives with a pull saw rather than bi-directional?

[@JohnDoe-m7f]

Folders are a definite no no in my book and many others. Wouldn’t depend my life on it. For edc urban daily tasks yes but not for Bushcraft or survival

[@shadowstalker130666]

Ive got two of these. (Thought id lost the first one) i absolutely love them. Theyre fantastic crafting knives for most anything you'd need, and clean fish well. I use the spine of the saw as a scaler. The only downside with the new ones is the sheaths beltloop, if it can even be called one. Sewn on flat, and can barely get a piece of paper in there, much less a belt. The knife itself however, is fantastic. May need to clean the gunk out of it when you get a new one though, pretty gritty.

[@petek1pml746]

I personally EDC three cutting tools in my GHB; 1) Custom made Viking belt axe by HB Forge, highly recommend. 2) APO-1T knife, mostly because it looked cool and supports the channel. 3) A prototype “skinner” made out of titanium, use stainless steel replaceable scalpel blades, attached with bits for bow-maintenance. Forgot who made it but, it was a prototype and I don’t think it’s a production model. I also have a #10 surgical blade on my titanium keychain carabiner thingy, replacement blades in pack. I think I have enough blades but, I’m also a male so…enough is never enough when it comes to certain things…like knives. 😂🤷‍♂️

i had a HB forge fighting axe for many yrs in living history they are top notch axes

[@ninjasquirrels]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS we “tested” it behind the firehouse a few years ago; Chopped cinder blocks, chopped through a regular apartment door, cut through the roof of an old Camry and even pried open a regular shipping container. Took it like a champ and, after some TLC, still looks new. That is exactly why I carry it in my pack, never know when you need to chop a hole in a wall etc. 🤷‍♂️ EDIT: Because I don’t know how to spell.

Nicely put. I have two folding hunters. One is an old Ka-bar and a newer model from Rough Rider that does just as good of a job. Most of the time I carry a folding trapper or a large Stockman. My father used a regular size Barlow for everything except large animals. Most don't realize how old the Barlow is or that it was George Washington's prefered style of folding knife.

thanks for watching

Sorry, but if it was a choice between this, and my Victorinox Hiker, there's no comparison, imho, the SAK is so much more versatile,.. For a single blade folder, the Spyderco Military, is unbeatable.. Just my 2 cents.. ps, I'm not a "hunter" and I don't cut up freshly killed animals,,

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

hey the bottom line is use what works for you thanks for watching

[@jelkel25]

Have the slightly smaller Buzzsaw Trapper which is a slipjoint blade and locking saw. I really like it and it's very useful. I did not know there was a bigger version with a locking hunting blade and saw. You become accustomed to having something on you you can get close to the work with, it's just easier in the long run.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

very true

[@jwarehouse1]

Many of the old folder patterns are useful as part of your woods kit. A Stockman, Trapper, or Sodbuster are all good. A folding Hunter with a saw may be tougher to find......but SAK has saws covered...

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

very true sak has a good saw

[@greyscout01]

Old Timer Son of a Gun Knife 5.25" Saw Cut 225OT Now out of stock everywhere Google sent me to. Most places said "discontinued."

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

sorry to hear that

[@LawrenceLoebman-k5i]

I love knifes

[@WolfeHD-c8y]

Don't you just love Cairns field? Lol! Before I die I want two real knives that will hold an edge. One for me and one for my son-in-law. Blackie, ...... I don't what to ask,

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yep cairns was launching

[@jeff6989]

I think folding knives get a bad wrap. I have been using a folding knife for years. In fact I have been hunting and fishing for over 30 years and i like folding knives. I fell for the hype I bought a least a dozen fixed blade and I only carry them in packs or tackle boxes. But a pocket knife I carry every day.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i grew up using them they are great field knives as long as you respect them

[@floydsmith2296]

Blackie, I am trying to get more info regarding the silver wolves camp out. Can I get your email please? Or how do we contact you? Thanks

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

this coming week we will be sharing the info for the camp in oct

[@aarondalton2223]

Blackie, I’ve been buying a few Rough Rider knives after I watched your video on them. The blades have a little side to side play and the steel is very hard. Do you think the blade wiggle is or will be a durability issue and do yours have blade wobble?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

mine has very little wobble and i have used mine for a few yrs and they seem fine

[@johlhunter4]

Hey Blackie… your thoughts on a Gimlet for boring? Cheap, Light, easy to carry…

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

those are great for the small projects where you know your going to be boring holes

[@stonefox9124]

Q: so u cut up game with that knife, how do u sanitize that same knife for food without having soap? I don't like folders for game because to many spots for raw meat to get crammed into.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

boil water in canteen cup and insert blade

[@TomHenry-gl5fm]

I carry an old 60's Case folding hunter that was my grandpa's. It's Lazer sharp, does all the duties I need it to do, and it has never, ever let me down.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

awesome
