Description

📘 THE BOOK: "The Old Scout Way: Walt's Camping & Fishing Manual" (120 camp and fishing tricks) 📗 ALSO: "The Old Scout Way: Walt's Camp Cooking Manual" (60 tricks for cooking with no kitchen) Get one, or both in a bundle: https://waltscampingsecrets.com I spent thirty-five years as a scoutmaster, and some of the best camp knives I know were never sold as camp knives at all: they were handed out by armies. A $425 premium folder's warranty calls screwdriver and pry-bar work misuse; the Army's stainless demo knife had the screwdriver built in, and used ones still sell for roughly $40 to $60. In this video: 15 military pocket knives, from the Signal Corps TL-29 and the Civil War knife-fork-spoon to the Swiss Soldier Knife of 1961 and the U.S. demo knife Which ones you can still buy new, and roughly what they cost The famous "army knife" the army never ordered Where a modern knife really is better: one-hand opening, a lock and a pocket clip The old knives work because they were built for hard jobs with simple parts, and most of them can be cleaned, oiled and fixed by hand. Safety: most of these knives do not lock. Cut with pressure on the edge, never on the back of the blade, and close a pocket knife with two hands. Which knife did they hand you your first week in uniform? Tell me below, I read every comment. Subscribe for the skills they stopped teaching: https://www.youtube.com/@Waltcampingsecrets
