In this fourth episode of Bushcraft Knife Techniques, Mike Lummio of Bushcraft Northwest demonstrates the proper way to split a stick lengthwise.

I've seen this technique demonstrated many times but this was the clearest instruction I've seen on how to do it properly. The finger gun thing is a great way to remember the positioning.
