Thanks again Ben I have a 8 inch sami knife that I love to use every chance I get. This is a good video-for safe use of a big knife.

Kelly Harlton talked about this in class last year. Great stuff Ben!

Great video, Ben!

Best knife chopping method demo I’ve seen on the internet. Very safe methodical and little energy expended. Thanks Ben

I severed a tendon with my lagom mostly because I violated number 3. I say this to emphasize the safety issues you raise.I was holding the knife in my hand while I did some other stuff. While not paying attention, I grabbed the business end. Very sharp. WHEN YOU’RE NOT ACTUALLY CUTTING SOMETHING , PUT THE KNIFE DOWN. Most accidents are a result of inattention or impatience.
Good vid.

Damn you Ben! My birthday is two weeks out (Thanksgiving Day), and I really need a Leuko in my life. Thanks for another good tip video. Also what wool jacket are you wearing, as well as that full zip hoodie which looks to be really thick?

[@bensbackwoods]

Full zip hoodie is a Ben's Backwoods....I need to order more for the site! Lester River Bushcraft field shirt is the outerwear which is fantastic!
