A knife is one of the most important tools an outdoor adventurer can carry along with them. North American Woodcraft, Traditional Wild Camping In The Modern Era: The Knife introduces the reader to a variety of topics and concepts. Chapter topics include understanding the parts of a knife, various ways of holding and using a knife, characteristics of folding knives and fixed blade knives, sharpening and maintaining a knife, and sheath orientations and materials, all illustrated with nearly 200 full-color photographs.This book is intended for both the new knife user who is just beginning their journey into the world of knives and the old hand who has spent decades carrying and using knives in the outdoors. The information lining the pages of this book was garnered over a lifetime of carrying and using knives in the outdoors, instructing others in the use of knives, and going down more rabbit holes than I care to count in search of elusive answers to questions that I was not sure had an answer. I hope that the information collected in these pages will lessen the number of rabbit holes you need to go down to find the answers you are looking for. Read more
