    Dave what you said about the part of the blade near the handle being what most use for fine carving tasks is the biggest reasons I HATE partially serrated blades. That is the exact spot most cutlery companys put the serrations.

    A broken piece of ceramic rod is capable as a flint, as well, on the broken end. I have used that quite a bit to light charcloth. Also on an off note, I carry a five inch piece of an old anode rod from a water heater. They are made of pure magnesium, usually, and are very light weight. I rarely use it, but instead of using up my fero rods in harsh conditions to make shavings, I just scrape off the anode rod. Just a bit of a weird learning tip. Much purer magnesium than most don bars.

    Nope, it honestly never occurred to me that a sharpening stone would throw sparks. One of the things that I love about your videos are the solutions that were staring us in the face.

    I've always wondered why more people don't realize the sharp edged spine of a knife or machete makes a great shaver for fine tinder. Dry bamboo works great if you have a source, and makes a bundle almost as fine as roughed (rolled between the palms) cedar bark, my all time favorite tinder.

    Moras truly are little workhorses. I carry one in each of my bugout bags as a back up knife for emergency situations or for meal prep / carving around the campfire. My PLSK-1 is always on my hip when I'm planning an outing though!

    I find this trick works extremely well for starting a fire. its a bit heavy and unweildy but bringing a flamethrower into the woods its a great source of campfires.

    A buddy of mine blundered into that sharpening stone x blade method while using a stone to make a 90 degree spine on his Tramontina machete.
    Since then, scraping the spine of the machete has become the favorite fire starting method In group.

    I went to your website to look for the sharpening store you described in this video. I could not find one with the description you gave in the video. Pictures of those on the website were not detailed enough for me to identify the beveled edges, fishing hook groove or rounded sharpening edge for hook knives. Could you please provide a link? Thanks! This stone would make a great gift for my husband and son!

    Thank you for the tips! If you were to use water on a stone in the winter and it were to freeze, would that ruin the stone? Also, if even sharpening stones can be used with the knife like flint and steel, then would glass work too?

    Thanks Dave, the stone idea is something I will definitely try. In your opinion, what is the best way to engineer a sharp spine on a blade that doesn't damage the integrity of the steel? Maybe something you can use for high carbon and stainless.
