Yes i know that and i will make a video about!

I mentionied a card scraper edge on the spine in a previous video's comment(where I said that it can be good if it is put on the tail of the venture). thanks for mentioning my idea and watching the video i recommanded. But my method of making a quick(not so sharp) card scraper edge in the outdoors is using a tungsten cardbide machine tool as a burnisher. It is sharper than the burnisher and would creat a perfect burr, but this sharpness allows knives with non-perfect 90degree edges to take a burr. Thank you so much for showing my idea in a video, I totally did not expect it! I always love learning from many different fields and take inspiration from them into my own field

I've been running a burr like this for some years now on all my bushcraft knives and honestly wouldn't be without it because of the many uses. My method to produce the burr very similar to the one you're describing. I use a honing steel mostly but also have a tool made from an old blunt router bit where I use the shaft rather than the blade of course. Great video and a very happy Christmas to you.

Nice job on the burr demo - one of the best I have seen. Have you done a clip on how to make leather lacing? An old trapper trick was to stick the knife in a block of wood, put a hole in a scrap piece of leather or hide, start a little piece and pull - the leather rotates around the blade and you can pull off a long, even piece of leather - good for repairing traditional rawhide snowshoes or just making lacing for whatever task you need.

Good to see some of the old skills coming back and people might start to see how people managed better and did more before "super steels".

Thanks for this I shall do this soon Your only as sharp as your knife

I really enjoy how much joy you seem to get out of sharing this information. A safe, healthy, and happy New Year to you!

Thanks Felix, loved it. I'm an engineer and long time knife lover and would like to add something to the commentary about how you ground the knife spine. I really liked how you did it. There are risks to your person every time you pick up an edge tool and if you cannot manage those risks you should not be handling sharp things. Of course, there are recommended ways of handling sharp things and that's fine, but we need to be able to recognise risk and to weigh it against any potential benefit. If you cannot do this, you will not last in a true survival situation. I've taken to doing it as you showed in the video, mostly because of physical limitations; it's just more comfortable for me. For most of my life, I've had high-risk physical jobs where there were little options available, so, learning to recognise risks and assess how to best approach any given task was the best survival tool I had. Again, if you can't understand what the pointy or slicey bits of knives can do to you (and how to stop it happening), don't use sharp things like knives. Keep up the good work, and thanks again.

Hi Felix, the opinions in case of a spine should ve sharp or rounded are different and there are many of them. I also like a sharp spine more than a rounded one, because it's simply an additional tool. Thanks for another very interesting and useful video and i wish you and your familiy Merry Christmas, some hopefully relaxing days and a great start into the new year 2024! LG

Bought the Venture to gauge its quality before I want to buy the pro for my brother for his 40th birthday and I wanted to see how good they are before getting the more special and slightly more expensive one. The quality is absolutely top notch! Very impressive, and I'm very happy with my purchase. So I guess he'll have a nice present for his birthday.

Good years Felix 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉happy new 2024!

Another place you will find an exceptional sharp and square spine for scraping wooden and using a fire striker is on the wood saw blade on the Swiss Army Knife - it's as sharp as a cabinet scraper. Merry Christmas to you and your kin Mr Immler 🌲, I've thoroughly enjoyed your channel and can't wait to see what you bring us in 2024 🍻

I had to sharpen the spine on a fairly expensive bushcraft knife so I could use it like you demonstrated. But, I was in the field and had to use my Leatherman file on it. It took a little while, but I got a nice sharp spine that should have been on it when it was made.

I am doing the 60 degree angle on my Moras with the Work sharp field sharpener and it is working amazingly well. I am sharpening close to the end of the blade, opposite from your technique as i was cutting my finger when too close but will probably changing the edge sharpening but still i want to have it at least 2 cm from the handle as sometimes for precision i use the thumb. I agree completely that further the sharpening edge is , more difficult to operate is.Great tutorial and tips again!!!
