Hi Rob, just found your channel here in the wilderness of KZitem. Delighted to find another Welsh bushcrafter and KZitemr. Where about you from? I'm born in Swansea but grew up in West Wales about 20 miles south of Cardigan, though i'm now living in Northern Ireland. Really, enjoyed this video. Looking forward to watching more. All the best, Mike

No mate, Paul Kirtley is at Rob Evans feather sticks level! You want to see them with perfect sticks, this woods dosen't have perfect feather stick wood. The Forrest I used to camp in regularly has the perfect connifers for feather sticks, haven't been there this year due to high winds in the winter and Covid restrictions in the spring.

Really useful to see this video done on spruce which is what I seem to be surrounded by. So much for being a "soft wood", it's hard as nails when it is dry and knotty as hell too. When I was a Boy Scout (many years ago!) we used to call them fuzz sticks and we were supposed to use them as the central upright in the fire lay but with cheap knives that were never sharp enough, we could never make good ones and it seemed like a waste of time in SA where the kindling was mostly dry anyway. Great video Rob, thanks!

Hi Rob, Thank you for the great tutorial! Quick question please. I know you need a sharp knife for this, but how sharp? Meaning, would a rough edge of a blue DMT "stone" be good enough or do you I need a polished edge? Thank you and Cheers Lars
@RobEvansWoodsman

A rough edge will cut no problems at all but it won't stay sharp very long, you'll be touching it up mid job. Polished is better for fine curls.

Carbon blades are generally stronger and easier to sharpen than stainless but they will rust, just don't store wet . I'd learn with a carbon blade, considering how much mora knives cost you could get two Companion HD knives for around £30, a stainless and carbon. I have a review in two parts on the companion HD Stainless and a pretty awful old one on the carbon!!
