Omg! Mike, I started watching you a long time ago! Maya tutorials 😊

The Roman legions paced from town to town. One thousand paces equaled one mile. And your pace is 5.28 feet. 😊😊😊😊

So, saddle soap to clean, only? Or does saddle soap help condition the leather? What is snow seal? I just was hoping you would explain how to condition an old ( mine is 54 years old) sheath, which looks fine but I wanted to help the leather. Thanks!

I appreciate your straightforward and direct delivery. No life story, no filler, just facts.

so the secret is to get your fingers out of the way

Wrong! Close it one handed on your hip

Buck 110 is very good knives. But is very inconvenient for EDC. For EDC I prefer knife with liner lock and tip down.

I use my fingers to apply the SnowSeal, et al. Warmth of fingers plus tactile / touch is more sensitive than dulled by a buffer cloth. Conditioner applied inside the sheath as well... ☆

Thank you

Thank you so much. I've lost 6 fingers closing mine wrong......

That is a stupid way to close it, your fingers should never be close to the sharp end of the blade period.

Daaa

The Challenge is to Stay Focused, so you don't lose count!

Can't understand people today are not familiar with the most fundamental tasks in life 🤦🤦🤦.

And yall make things to complicated with pace counting

Thank you for teaching

THANK YOU. I found my dad’s Buck 100 folding knife after he passed away & could not figure out how to safely close it. 🙏🏼

It was good, but I'd like to see a net made with finished size, like 6 feet x 8 feet or whatever. How to finish it, how to weight it, and how to use it to catch fish.thank you.

Stay tuned boys and girls because next time ill show how to lick a window.

Where did you get the backpack from? Thanks

maybe some people aren't ready for a knife if they need this

Bless you, i have a 501 of my Dad's, got it open and couldn't close it, scared I would cut myself. Your tip works perfectly. thanks.

MH nice video, simple explanation. Rigth to the point. Greetings from Ciudad de México.

😂😂😂 really? 😂😂😂😂

I use it without the extender and shoot weddings at the church from a balcony above using my Canon 5DSR and D1X mk iii in the year 2023 ...... and the images and colors that come out are simply amazing ......

Back around 1970, I worked at Buck Knives in El Cajon, California, assembling the 110. I will describe the absolute most dangerous way to close a 110…. Hold the open knife, point towards you sharp edge of the blade up, try to hold the back of the blade only… while holding firmly, sharply rap the blade release notch on the hard edge of a table … the rap will depress and release the locked blade partially rotating it closed … carefully close the blade until safe and place in sheath. Disclaimer- table and fingers have been severely damaged using this method, this method should only be attempted by a licensed, certified, and insured professional. Under no circumstances should anyone attempt this procedure unless within the confines of a hospital emergency room. Never attempt while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, never attempt while sane or insane, or awake or asleep. I only attempted this procedure BEFORE the blade was sharpened. Additional Information - be warned-- not every Buck Knife can be folded to a closed position… they also produce some very fine ridged, non-folding knives. Great body injuries may occur if you attempt to fold these non-folding knives. Buck Knives also offers an excellent warranty on each and every knife encase you snap a blade while attempting to fold a non folding knife, non folding knives come with a sheath for a reason.

My channel has moved to a new location www.youtube.com/@mikeshawbrook-selfreliance Hope to see you there Mike

I owe you one. Tomorrow I was planning to send my 110 back to the shop as too hard to press the lock release. It didnt need work, I needed training! Thanks

Thanks. New Subb. June 2023

what box do you carry the compass in?

And don’t look down your Gun Barrel when it jams....

When was the last time American rangers had to do this ? Every time they fight they have a crushing support no matter the conflict. If only rangers and all those fancy specOps guys trained how to hide from Artillery instead of shooting unarmed people in the face.

Thanks! I ordered and received a leather sheath for a Mora knife I had purchased. The leather is a little to light perhaps and this might darken it a little as well as offer protection. Thanks.

Just stuff it in no need to roll it

Thanks for the video.

Very helpful, thanks man

where did you find the buck button sheath , it does not look like the original?

I inherited a Buck knife and it won't close - there is no thing at the far end to snap it shut???

If you can’t close the knife without cutting yourself I suggest you not use it ,it’s not rocket science

What happens if you walk more than 4 km's?

I have a Casstrom leather sheaf. The knife is a year old , all in good condition but feel the leather could do with treatment. Would you recommend this? Good tutorial but I’m a bit finicky with my bushcraft knives. 🤔

Nice demonstration, and really nice music. Who is the music artist?

Good vid, subscribed.

Do you think storing knives in a leather sheath causes them to rust?

i couldnt close mine and was scared to shit and didnt want to cut myself ty

Good info, thx.

Thanks for showing us.

THANK YOUUUU

Thanks! Just got my first Buck 110, and this really helps. Now to get it loosened up for easy opening!

Does sno-seal darken leather? I bought some to apply to my Ka-bar but don’t want to darken the leather too much
