Outdoors the Scandinavian Way - Using a Knife

An Informative Book on Knives

The knife has been an essential tool in human history and is the most important tool you will use when travelling in the wilderness. A good knife will be able to perform every task you will require in the wilds.

This book is a fantastic introduction to using a knife and will increase your knowledge of how to do so safely. Lars offers many tips throughout the book including, amongst others, how to cut down a small tree, the correct way to split wood for the fire, how to make a fire using a knife and fire steel, and a quick lesson on how to fillet a fish.

A well-cared-for knife is going to last a lifetime, and there is a useful chapter showing us how to look after our knife. There are detailed explanations of cleaning and sharpening a knife, and caring for the handle and sheath.

All-in-all, an indispensable guide that will help you fulfill your knife's potential.
