Ring-And-Break Stick Cutting Technique

[Mistwalker]

I have been using the Handyman in some bushcraft demonstrations here locally, in the process of teaching some small knife techniques. So I also did a blog post on part of it for the website.

I should have cleaned up the typos before sharing lol, but I think I got them all just now...

Great reasoning for the technique at the end of the article that ties it nicely together. Your blog writing about the practical uses for knives is done extremely well and is suitable for a large variety of audience regardless of their background knowledge. It's harder than it looks yet you consistently deliver a natural and easy voice. :thumbup:

Thank you sir, I am glad you like them. I try to approach it in such a way as to be informative to those who are new to knife uses without being insulting to those who have been using knives for some time. I know that many who come to the Fiddleback Forge website are not new to knives in general. With the price range Andy is in, it usually takes some experience to understand what makes the knives worth the asking price. Yet I also know that many who are not new to knives in general may not necessarily have some of the experiences with using knives that I have.

Good article, especially for someone who really likes the knives with shorter blades.
I really like the discussion around green wood vs seasoned or dried wood. Nice job sir.

Thanks Preston. Yes, there is a huge difference between working with green wood versus seasoned wood. Dome like spruce aren't bad, but working seasoned hardwoods like maple, oak, hickory are more difficult to work with.
