Fixed blades

[shinyedges]

I’ve tried it a couple of times before, ended up roasting quite a few prototypes before making one that would be considered barely adequate.

Pretty much what im afraid would happen to my spoon. Considering i spent a fair amount of time making it id be less than thrilled

The TKC/Architect Knives Field Buddy 6.5 and 5.5, both in 3V and heat treated by Peters. Blades are made by Tops (one of the best full scale production makers IMO). Great quality, Customer service (never needed them, just asked a couple of questions), and the price to performance is one of the best I’ve personally experienced. HIGHLY recommended.

ETA: uses the ESEE 6 handle platform and sheath attachment layout, so the customization factor is nearly endless.

Kids trying the ember
View attachment 2379369

Smaller ember or don't leave it on so long. When I've done it, it's a multi-step process - let the ember smolder a bit, put it back in the fire and scrape out the blackened wood, repeat.

Will try again with more patience, as you can imagine the kid was huffing and puffing away lol

My daughter is 2 and showing interest in knives and camping and just the outdoors in general. If a blade is out of the sheath, “knife is awake” and if in the sheath, “ohh knife is sleeping” according to her.

She’s only handled the DEK2 while in its kydex sheath. She has a small plastic kitchen style knife that’s part of her kitchen play set. It’s her favorite little plastic toy lol.

I'm still trying to instill the importance of carrying one on mine... My 5 year old daughter is more interested than our boy, but he's getting to that age where deliberate obtuseness to irk me is the rule.

Edited to add a 5 to age

My little Missy has about 3 years and used to have a plastic knife like that. She's keen to point out knives when she sees them and, despite her mother's protestations, asked me to buy her one. I'll get her a wooden butter knife to practice with for a while longer. She doesn't know I have a stack of Opinels, vintage Schrades, and a little Case fixie waiting for her (amongst one or two others). They pick up quickly, don't they?
