You actually gave us a lesson on pocket knife safety. This is literally the very first class on pocketknife safety I have ever seen. WELL DONE, too. When I was a little fellow all of the guys took our pocketknives to elementary school. Sometimes, during recess, we would play, mumbly-peg, a three bladed pocketknife game. That was a long long time ago; times and pocketknives have changed. Heh, heh... I thought your boy was gonna give the class. Are you resorting to click-bait? I bet he could have done a good job. He comes from good stock. Thanks for the reminder. Texas
i am ten and my dad buys me a knife atleast once a month and i am upset i cant take atleast one and i cant go for a day without my pocket knife and my swiss army knife
Very well executed. My first pocket knife was a BSA Case folding knife I got way back in the mid 1960's (yeah, old guy here). My second knife was the famous Buck 110 locking blade knife I picked up in the early 1970's. I still have the same Buck 110 today but lost the BSA Case decades ago. Cheers and stay safe!
Mine was a BSA too, and my dad filed the edge off, for some reason, I was 8. My first real knife was a cheap "fish blade" so called, I got at a discount store for $2.50. Ya I know, but you by what you can afford.
When I went up to my dad at the age of eight and informed him I’d just cut myself with the pocket knife he’d bought me for my birthday he turned round to me and said “ well lad now you’ve learned what not to do with a pen knife , don’t tell your mum”.
My dad recently passed away a week before my son was born. It's been an incredibly taxing time of emotional extremes formy family and I. That said, I was raised in hunting and camping by my father. I've always expected him to be a part of this journey with my son like he was with me. It's not that I don't know what to say. It's that I didn't think I'd be alone in saying it. Thank you, this video helped remind me that I'm not.
Man you are in that spot and it's a tough spot to be in. That being said you will be able to say to your boy " well your G-pa showed me these things just like this" be able to have your dad with you just in a different way. Also enjoy the little things man cuz before you know it you wake up and your boy is 18 and all the little things are just a memory.
I’m sorry to hear that. Experiencing the joy of having a child born after the sadness of losing your father is a lot to handle. Every step you take with your children is paying homage to your dad and the great father he was to you. Sending love your way
Man, I wish I had your videos handy when I was working at a knife store. They would've been awesome for additional resources for folks who were just starting out in the woods
OG coalcracker here. I really appreciate this video because I have a grandson who's seven (cancer survivor) who I wanted to introduce two camping and Bushcraft this summer. I was going to get him a pocket knife and I thought that this was a great reminder on how to introduce it. Thanks again and hope you and your family continue to be safe and well
Yep. Had an SAK close on my knuckle cause I was being dumb when I was younger. Still have a scar from that one. Also, I feel a little cheated cause I was hoping based on the thumbnail that your kid was gonna be doing this video 😅. Lol in all seriousness though another good video.
Great! 1st vid for 10-year old grandson. I was at my local truck accessory store and discovered he was doing a promotion (favorite nascar driver), and quickly said to grandson, this is for you. He’s accomplished with frog gig, 20-gauge (squirrels, targets), .22 (squirrels), etc., so he’s ready for a quality knife.
Started both my kids on fixed blades. Daughter got a Mora and Son got an Esee 4. Then moved onto Leatherman multitools. Waited until they each turned 10. Thanks Dan. Stay safe and free.
Just recently gave my son his first folder he's 4 years old. Went thru all the safety steps and he's done all right so far. I did all down the blade a good bit so that it if he slipped you wouldn't actually slice himself
My daughter just turned 1, im so very excited for her to grow up and have her first knife and be able to go backpacking or camping with me. I thankfully still have my first knife given to me by my dad! Classic red victorinox folder
Another great little practical presentation from Dan. I've still got my first pocket knife from the 70's (somewhere), I must go and find it. It was commonly called a 'bunny' knife, 2 blades, wooden casing, very basic. Used for skinning and gutting rabbits, mainly. Keep up the great work. Now to go and find it...
I bought my 3 year old granddaughter a plastic Swiss Army knife for xmas.. To use on her play dough projects...still just a little bit young.but hope she never forgets who gave her her first blade
Thank you for showing me how to do it properly. I’m an adult already but I got my first real SAK recently and don’t want to cut myself. I know that might sound ridiculous to some of the readers or to you but I have problems closing my SAK, pushing the tool down is really hard as it closes only with a lot of push, and my fingers always slip due to sweat.
This is a great video, very original and informative compared to other knife safety videos I've seen. Question for everyone in the comments: what currently produced knives would you pick for an 11 to 13 year old boy or girl? Can be anything, fixed, folding, utility knife. No wrong answers. My first was a Swiss Army Camper with a saw, but my current favorites are very different.
Nice job Dan. Good explanations, maybe should have explained triangle of death and blood bubble for the inexperienced. You have timely topics and are a good teacher. Thanks for sharing
This takes me back to when I tried to use my dad’s razor on my face when I was 5 because I wanted to be just like him. Before I could use it on my face, I fortunately cut my thumb and asked my mom for help because I was bleeding. Glad I didn’t get so far to try it on my face! I’m a woman too, so even now I don’t have facial hair 😅
Good basic teaching for any youngster. It goes hand in hand with gun safety, learn how it works, learn how to hold, and then learn correct use. I learned that over in the K, if you are found carrying any kind of knife, other than what you showed or similar, you are going to jail for a few years. For some dumb reason they believe that a folding knife is not dangerous, but a smaller locking blade is, Go figure. I've just discovered your channel. Teaching simple out door skills is quite a good thing. I'll be watching a bunch of your stuff now. ;-)
My first knife I saved up Bazooka Joe bubble gum comics,, mailed in with a dollar and got it in 8 long weeks. Mom went ballistic, dad said I was old enough. It folded on my fingers in a couple hours. Lock blade was my next, then a butterfly knife.
I used to get pocket knives from relatives when I was young, I always wondered where they all went, now I know the parents took them. Now I have more knives than you can count
Never received a knife as a gift from either my parents or grand parents. Bought my first one on the sly when I was 5. It was one of those mega stores in the 80s, had groceries, clothes, appliances, and a nice girl, probably in her early 20s, working behind a glass case of knives. I was afforded a certain amount of independence since I wasn't a troublemaker, so I asked my mother if I could go look at 'the toys' while she started grocery shopping. Headed towards the toy aisle, doubled back when I knew she was out of site, and went straight to the knives. Asked to buy a folding knife (a good sized locking Buck; the one with the brown handle and brass caps). The girl looked at me and asked if my parents knew where I was and what I was doing. I said, "yeah, my mom's right over there". Turned around, pointed towards a group of women shopping in the produce section. I waved, and what do you know, one of them waved back! The girl behind the counter decided that was good enough, and with the tiniest bit of hesitation, sold me the knife. Thanked her, walked towards my surrogate mother, pocketed the knife, and lingered close enough to her to make it look good until I saw knife girl was no longer looking my way. Turned, and walked very very briskly to the toy aisle to await my actual mother. I still have that Buck knife to this day, but only told my mother that story about 10 years ago, lol.
I started out with my father's lock back knife. After a while he gave me a slip-joint knife but neglected to go over any of the safety stuff, I closed that knife on my fingers more than once. Things to watch out for: When making a forceful cut through a stick that you're holding in your other hand, your arms might spring back a bit, the spine can hit the stick you just cut. If the blade sticks in a cut be careful pulling it out. Traditional slip joints often have strong springs with no let off. Now I carry a modern slip joint that has a detent part way and past that the ricasso hits your index finger. I still don't trust slip joints, only use it when I can't carry a fixed blade.
I gave two of my nephews SAKs. They were pretty stoked, they listened to what I had to say but ran off quickly. One of em cut their phalanges maybe 3 weeks later. Smh, maybe Ill be able to teach the youngest nephew when he gets older lol.
I remember well my first knife. My Dad was what we would now call a "soy boy". He never had any interest in guns or knives. My Uncle Ted was a different story because he was an Army vet. He got me a Rambo knife for my 10th Birthday. That was one serious chunk of steel. I had so much fun and got pretty good at throwing it and sticking it in to the side of our garage. I hope to pass it on to my nephew.
I honestly can't remember my first knife. I've always carried at least 1 blade on me since I was around 11 or 12. Had a cheap butterfly knife through my teens that I would constantly fidget with and that got me comfortable handling a blade. I'm 37 now and handling a knife is second nature to me. For the record I think SAKs and other non-locking knives aren't the best knives for learning especially if the person is uncomfortable handling knives. As you've mentioned they can easily close on your hand if you're not careful.
I gave my little ones Mora's. They are fixed blades and cheap. My daughter has lost hers already, and the two boys have tried their best to destroy theirs. They still sharpen up and are useful though! All three have NOT cut themselves yet either. Woo hoo! Edit: I hate folders and very rarely use them. They have cut me, as an adult, multiple times. lol Don't forget how to hand someone a knife. It should be handed off with the blade away from the person being handed it, correct?
I was maybe 6 or 7 and I stole my first pocket folder. Used it for a year or so before joining BSA and eventually was given a BSA Swiss Army knife. Shortly after I quit but still used that knife till I was maybe 13 or 14 when I lost it in the creek. What a shame.
Mine was a Kershaw pocket knife, it is a nice pocket knife, I lost it, then my grandpa gave me my uncles knife, it is very sharp, something more than 20 years old or something, I’m 11 btw lol
My son and daughter are turning 4. Should I get them a mini troodon. There favorite colors are blue and pink. Though I don’t think they have the strength to open it. 😉
Hey Dan How's it goin eh? Spring has sprung & those biood suckin ticks are everywhere. Could you do a video on preventing tick bites& do you use permithrine? Cheers & thnx
Make sure to show them the proper cut strokes with a pocket knife and avoid drilling motions. The biggest risk is when they’re noodling around and the knife closes down on their fingers.
>.< "80's because that's when I was born..." jesus, man, that means I'm nearly 10 years older than you are. my first knife was 1982-83, I was either 8 or 9 and I was in the cub scouts then. and as SOON as I got home, my dad took it away from me and I never got it back. I didn't get another knife till I was in highschool, a Buck 110 that I still carry on my belt today. (110's have been around since 1963, btw)
My dad handed me my first knife which was a folding Knife . Then he looked at me and said if I cut myself I’m getting a whopping on top of it , and yes I did cut myself many times with that knife .The one thing I never did was complain about it to my dad LOL
Got a joke up my sleeve Me asking for a normal little pocket knife Me getting a automatic columbia But yes,i really want to see this because im a pocket knife carrier for yeare,like im not such of a defense guy but i got like a victorinox multitool abt 91 milimeters and those... now my every day carry is a Spartan camouflage 91mm (i think) what is pretty sharp
The triangle of death is the space between you upper legs, including the groin and both femoral arteries. A cut there is likely lethal. The blood circle is the area 360° around you and farther than arm's length, where someone could come into contact with a blade being pushed away from the material being cut.
I had a pocket knife that cut me it opened up in my pocket by itself after I went to the er it turned out it was broken I bought it on eBay and it said it wasn’t broken. I got home from the er a week ago and I’m still angry it turned out the eBay seller didn’t know and we sent it back and he said it was a pushing problem that he had nothing to do with and that was the end of it
I suggest do not give a child a knife until they have an attention span. Are not easily distracted and forget to fold it up before walking around with it..
You actually gave us a lesson on pocket knife safety. This is literally the very first class on pocketknife safety I have ever seen. WELL DONE, too.

Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing the important safety tips for folding knives. Take care and stay healthy. 🤗
When I went up to my dad at the age of eight and informed him I’d just cut myself with the pocket knife he’d bought me for my birthday he turned round to me and said “ well lad now you’ve learned what not to do with a pen knife , don’t tell your mum”.
That’s cool where do you get pocket knife btw
*Dark humor.*
This is what just happened to my 8 year old son. I told him the same thing ha ha ha.

I still have my whittling chip somewhere

thank you i just got my first knife this was really helpful
Just did this training for eight Bear Scouts this year. That was something else.
Were you on edge the whole time? 😉
Good Dan. Tomorrow I give my granddaughter her first knife. She is a new scout. I will go over the rules. Take care.
Nice job Dan. Good explanations, maybe should have explained triangle of death and blood bubble for the inexperienced. You have timely topics and are a good teacher. Thanks for sharing
It's good to revisit the basics !
Love your videos. Your instruction is very close to BSA rules. Thanks for everything you do!

Good job Mr. coalcracker! Good advice , thanks. I wish someone told me this yesterday........ ouch !🤕
My son's first knife was a moderate-sized folding knife with a locking blade. My first knife was a Boy Scouts branded Swiss Army knife
My first knife I saved up Bazooka Joe bubble gum comics,, mailed in with a dollar and got it in 8 long weeks. Mom went ballistic, dad said I was old enough. It folded on my fingers in a couple hours. Lock blade was my next, then a butterfly knife.
Im 12 bought my own knife my brother cut his hands a bit using it but I wanted to be careful thank you so much for this video
Great presentation and very informative, Dan!
Not sure why I'm not getting notifications anymore. 😕
thanks i’m thinking of getting a pocket knife!!! super useful :D
Thank u so much my dad just gave me my first knife it’s about 20 centimetres long when opened it so cool so I really needed this
My first knife was a spring asisted kershaw and I still have it to this day :)))
My dad was that first person it’s a Gerber and a I bought an Albatross too
Hello Dan
I gave my kids the Morakniv neck knife kit with Fero rod and add a whistle to hit
Excellent Video! Thanks.

Good story. Lol
I loved your video l really learnt a lot look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. Robyn griffin sydney
Great video
I just got a pocket knife 10 minutes ago so Im gonna watch this lol
I gave my 3 sons a pack of plasters to go with their new Swiss army knives.
My dad gave me a very cheap switch blade that was so dull it wouldn't cut butter. Father of the year candidate 😂
I got a locking one and didn’t understand why it needed to lock and now I understand its so I don’t cut my self
I started out with my father's lock back knife. After a while he gave me a slip-joint knife but neglected to go over any of the safety stuff, I closed that knife on my fingers more than once.
Things to watch out for:
When making a forceful cut through a stick that you're holding in your other hand, your arms might spring back a bit, the spine can hit the stick you just cut.
If the blade sticks in a cut be careful pulling it out.
Traditional slip joints often have strong springs with no let off.
Now I carry a modern slip joint that has a detent part way and past that the ricasso hits your index finger. I still don't trust slip joints, only use it when I can't carry a fixed blade.
I gave two of my nephews SAKs.
They were pretty stoked, they listened to what I had to say but ran off quickly.
One of em cut their phalanges maybe 3 weeks later. Smh, maybe Ill be able to teach the youngest nephew when he gets older lol.
The first knife I got was a 2000 first released swis army
I remember well my first knife. My Dad was what we would now call a "soy boy". He never had any interest in guns or knives. My Uncle Ted was a different story because he was an Army vet. He got me a Rambo knife for my 10th Birthday. That was one serious chunk of steel. I had so much fun and got pretty good at throwing it and sticking it in to the side of our garage. I hope to pass it on to my nephew.
Just gave my nephew (7) a mora Eldris. Sending him this video.
I honestly can't remember my first knife. I've always carried at least 1 blade on me since I was around 11 or 12. Had a cheap butterfly knife through my teens that I would constantly fidget with and that got me comfortable handling a blade. I'm 37 now and handling a knife is second nature to me.
For the record I think SAKs and other non-locking knives aren't the best knives for learning especially if the person is uncomfortable handling knives. As you've mentioned they can easily close on your hand if you're not careful.
What is the blood triangle and the circle of death? Might be a good video man for us that don't know..
Well done!
Today is my daughters birthday!! I’m giving her a mora eldris!!
I gave my little ones Mora's. They are fixed blades and cheap. My daughter has lost hers already, and the two boys have tried their best to destroy theirs.

I got mine today 😃
That day is today
I most defiantly had a folder close on my fingers and cut me wide open. even as an adult. SH** happenes.
I was maybe 6 or 7 and I stole my first pocket folder. Used it for a year or so before joining BSA and eventually was given a BSA Swiss Army knife. Shortly after I quit but still used that knife till I was maybe 13 or 14 when I lost it in the creek. What a shame.
thank you sir
Bro I thought it was gonna be a Little Dude video :) gr8 info tho, be safe team
Mine was a Kershaw pocket knife, it is a nice pocket knife, I lost it, then my grandpa gave me my uncles knife, it is very sharp, something more than 20 years old or something, I’m 11 btw lol
Good tutorial, I got 0 kids but pretty much exactly how I would teach them.
I found a knife at seven fallen a field it was a key knif I had. It to even and still do
My son and daughter are turning 4. Should I get them a mini troodon. There favorite colors are blue and pink. Though I don’t think they have the strength to open it. 😉
For a non locking knife trying to stab through a solid material can cause it to slam shut on your fingers
I actually need a knife and thanks for this. We nearly got attacked by 2 persons holding an axe, you never know when they will come back.
Hey Dan
How's it goin eh?
Spring has sprung & those biood suckin ticks are everywhere.
Could you do a video on preventing tick bites& do you use permithrine?
Cheers & thnx
None gave me my first pocjet knife i found it in the end of a cabinet and now i have it it is really big thi and very sharp
Make sure to show them the proper cut strokes with a pocket knife and avoid drilling motions. The biggest risk is when they’re noodling around and the knife closes down on their fingers.
I have a very sharp pocket knife and I was just testing how sharp it was and I accidentally cut my finger a bit and was bleeding crazy
Love a Victorinox Farmer 👍
I’m 10 and I just got an adult’s-sized pocket knife XD my old one is smaller than my friend’s knife (and he is 8 btw)
I gotta admit I was hoping it was another Jax video...Bait and switch. LOL!
I teach knife safety in Boy Scouts .
Only slip joints to learn how to cut properly
Dose the BSA still not allow the scouts to carry and use fixed blade knife? And yes this eagle scout still has his totem-chip card.
>.< "80's because that's when I was born..." jesus, man, that means I'm nearly 10 years older than you are. my first knife was 1982-83, I was either 8 or 9 and I was in the cub scouts then.
and as SOON as I got home, my dad took it away from me and I never got it back. I didn't get another knife till I was in highschool, a Buck 110 that I still carry on my belt today. (110's have been around since 1963, btw)

But yes,i really want to see this because im a pocket knife carrier for yeare,like im not such of a defense guy but i got like a victorinox multitool abt 91 milimeters and those... now my every day carry is a Spartan camouflage 91mm (i think) what is pretty sharp
My first pocket knife was a ka-bar
Blood triangle, circle of death ... I may have missed you covering these/where do I find this info?
Search his channel for the video "Safety Tips by a 5 year old Survivalist"
The triangle of death is the space between you upper legs, including the groin and both femoral arteries. A cut there is likely lethal.
The blood circle is the area 360° around you and farther than arm's length, where someone could come into contact with a blade being pushed away from the material being cut.
@@javiermartinescribano8909 Thank you.
What fixed blade did you give your son Dan
I have three knives still fun
Make sure it locks so the blade doesn’t fold up their fingers.
I had a pocket knife that cut me it opened up in my pocket by itself after I went to the er it turned out it was broken I bought it on eBay and it said it wasn’t broken. I got home from the er a week ago and I’m still angry it turned out the eBay seller didn’t know and we sent it back and he said it was a pushing problem that he had nothing to do with and that was the end of it
What are these knifes called and we’re can I get one?
back in the days, i have a knife (turns out to be a katana)
hehe

Bro, the first time I was using a Swiss Army knife I was messing around and cut my self two minutes after opening the package
👍
Im only 10! My parents let me buy a pocket knife! Its a big blade to!
I suggest do not give a child a knife until they have an attention span. Are not easily distracted and forget to fold it up before walking around with it..
The first time I tried showing my boys the way around a multitool I cut the crap out of my finger. Lots of drippy blood. Not the best 1st lesson. 😅
I got my knife already
