Laura: Hey Dick, that look really good.
Dick: I was preparing a little snack for you.
Laura: Thanks.
Dick: Yes.
Laura: So what’s up with the knives?
Dick: Well this are a couple of my favorite butt knifes, this one a folder and closes very easily can be clipped onto the belt.
Laura: Right.
Dick: These one is heavier duty trailed knife, you know, chopping for terrain trails.
Laura: You actually collect a lot knife, don’t you?
Dick: Well, in the bush you need them—you need a variety of different knives for a variety of different purposes.
What I want to stress first is safety. This involves cutting away from your body not towards it. If you have branches on a sapling that you have fallen, always limb them off in the direction in which they lie, in that way you are not forcing them and taking a chance of slipping. If you wish you cut a sapling of a fair thickness like up to the size of big fat thumb, all you all have to do is bent it over, strain the fibers and cut at that point and you will just go through like you will not believe.
Now you have trees or saplings which are larger than that, say up to size of two inches or more, if we use the knife in conjunction with the small wooden club to drive the knife in, we can fell it very, very easily. And last but last but not least is keeping that knife really sharp and my bark holds an edge that is just amazing.
