Justin shows us how to handle knives safely, passing them to others and shows us a good range of different cutting techniques.

who was that doing the demonstration? What have you done with Justin?! :)

Excellent! Easy to follow and some good close up footage. Like the "Triangle" idea as well.

To make feather sticks, assume a kneeling position and using a straight arm draw it down the stick using your body-weight. That's about as clear as mud, but don't worry, we're going to do a film demonstrating how to do it in the near future :)

Thanks for some very useful cuts and safety tips.
Could you say which one would be best for feathering a firestick?
I tried using the squeeze cut but got very small "feathers".
When I did the straight arm cut I made longer feathers but had less control and every so often cut quite a few feathers off!

usefull way of showing techniques of cuttiung, has definitely helped me plan how to show the scouts how to correctly use a knife , well done lads.
