Thank you so much for the contribution! The one outdoor multitool I’ve been using more than others is actually a Mikov Fixil Classic. It has an excellent saw, locking blade, non-locking skinning blade for removing bark and I chose one without bottle & can openers. I’m not just saying this because you’re from Czech Republic as is that bland, I truly find this to be my favorite!
That was fun! Thanks. Since you ask, surgeons generally use disposable scalpel blades. The only larger knife I can think of offhand in use in the OR would be an amputation knife. These are usually sent out for professional sharpening, when needed.
That, Sir, is a fantastic comment! What a great video would that be! Not the amputation, the sharpening! And, just because I’m an engineer, and engineers are never-ever wrong 😂🤣 I think maybe the steel predates the disposable blade proliferation?

Today I learned one possible way of making a hole and then your comments made me think about the usefulness vs compromise of a multi-tool as oposed to a knife. What top quality multi tool would you recommend for universal outdoorsy/emergency/survival crafts, please? Thank you and I'm looking forward to the next vid!

@@CuttingBoardRx Oh absolutely! For me being light on my toes while hiking is the most important aspect and multi tools obviously combines many tools in one. I don’t like to haul around too much useless junk while hiking and my 3 day bag with food water medkit etc, weighs no more than 25 pounds.
That's interesting about the BandAids. I have obtained excellent cut healing by coating the wound in fresh pine resin, then rubbing a dog until I get a matted coating glued onto the resin. I gather it's an old native trick.

I have bandaids in everything I carry. My sharpening kits each have bandaids, rubber totes full of knives all have bandaids and my work area they’re all within reach. My granddaughter the 3 year old asked me why I always have a bandaid on or what’s that thing on my pocket which I said are pens. I now carry my knives in leather slips, W/bandaids. Great job on making an essential tool out of 14cr I mean 14c 28n! I like this steel considered budget. Re-cut the edge to 15 - 17 degrees and it holds up pretty well. I noticed 1 company that got 61 HRC out of it, but I didn’t bite because I had trouble believing that because why wouldn’t everyone do that! Maybe it’s too brittle?!
LOL 😂 a wise man said don’t tell me “what”, tell me “when” Being prepared for anything is a good choice. When will you tell your granddaughter what these “pens” are? If she’s curious already, maybe it’s time for an Opinel butter knife?

@@CuttingBoardRx I'd recommend the cold steel voyager xl since it's probably as large as anyone would every actually carry (I know people carry tye Espada xl and raja 2 but they're closer to swords than knives 😆) the voyager is also a great deal being a lot of knife for the money and will give you over 5 different blade shapes to choose from (maybe more than any other knife honestly) so you can get a shape that you want to test. I've been binging your channel and recommending it to my knife friends, thank you and keep up the good work man 👊
Saw a better way of battoning. Start with light beating, then revert the knife with the branch so that the spine of the knife lies sturdy on the surface and go on hitting the branch against the knife. That way the locking bar doesn't get stress from beating, but the spine gets the load
