David, I have been following your videos for a couple of weeks and I'm happy to report that today I made my first and second fires with flint and steel. Thank you for your excellent tutorials!
I've EDCed this great pocketknife for 25 years. You can buy it on Amazon.... the Stanley 10-049, the replacement blades 11-041, and also the Smith's Diamond Stone that I used in the video. Please follow the LINKs below and SUBSCRIBE. Thank you!

Ya know I to have owned one of these at least that long, it layed in my tool box untill I started watching your channel years ago. It has been my go to EDC knife next to my ole Uncle Henry Stockman ( made in USA ). I have found it to be easy to sharpen back to a razor edge and for heavier cutting I have some of those sheep's foot blades. Thanks for all your ways of making fires and there is NO excuse for being cold in the woods for any of us!
I have both the Smith's Diamond Stone and the Stanley knife. You're absolutely right about sharpening. With the Smith's, I have no problem getting my 90° on top or restoring the razor edge on the bottom. Initially the pivot squeaked on mine a little bit but a drop of nano oil fix that right up.
I noticed on this replacement blade at the thumbnail notch it looked mashed. It made a high spot on the spine. I got it out with the stone. I need to go back and check the other blades from the same package.
I got my first Stanley 10-049 back in 1980 and I still have the original blade in it. When it came time to change the blade I chickened out and just bought a new one. Nostalgia got to me so I couldn't change it. Thanks for the great video David.
Yes it is. I'm on my second one. Lost the one I had for over 10 years. I get food blade life. I'll touch it up with a strop 3 to 4 times between sharpening. Blade about once a year, (depending) on usage
Those are great whittling knives, I've enjoyed many hours out on the porch just piddling around. Great tutorial, I've got to get by the thrift store and check for me a Hobo Stove project.
Had a heavy duty box cutter for 8 years as a dollar store manager and Gander Mtn employee. Made a leather belt sheath for it. Carried a diamond rod sharpener. Got about 2 years out of each side of the blade. Opened boxes and broke down a lot of cardboard. Can you say frugal? No, I just liked sharpening. Still have and use it.
David, I agree that the 10-049 is a great little knife. One caveat: After sharpening the spine of the blade, I got to using it to cut some wood shavings. Later on, I noticed I had a sore thumb--looked and saw that it was for some unknown reason sliced-up and bleeding. I was mystified until I remembered how I'd been pushing with my thumb against the back of the 10-049's blade while cutting shavings. Oh, yeah, the Smith's stick sharpener had definitely performed as advertised.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl I believe it! Don't know if Loblolly pine needles are as sharp as those of the Ponderosa pine out here, but you don't seem to have any trouble with getting stuck when you "process" them.
Love your content so much. I watch it every day. Sometimes your camera view is a little high, so we can’t see what you’re agnighing at the bottom of the frame.
The hardest part of these techniques is getting it on video. There are so many lighting, neighborhood noise, and equipment issues to deal with. LOL! Thanks Scott.
I wished I had etched the date on my blade the day I started using mine. I just wonder how many miles mine has on it. However probably not as many as your has Another dandy video friend.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Thanks brother, will do. I plan on buying 10 or so. I’d like to spread them throughout all my bags/hunting, camping, get home or go-bags. Just to have a quality blade in each that isn’t going to break the bank👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Well it has replaceable blades, plus it comes highly recommended by you.(Which I value your opinion a great deal) So buying a few and throwing them in different types of bags around the house and in vehicles is a no brainer for me.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was just wondering about the quality of what's left out there to be purchased. Stanley stopped making them many years ago and what's being sold on Amazon is surplus and maybe even 2nds.
Yes, I found some great ones this morning. I shoved as many as would fit in that 5gl bucket, and then, shoved another 3 handfuls in. They're pretty wet though. Also, on the corner of that tarp, I have some Tulip Poplar bark drying out.

Flint and Steel is a favorite of mine, a satisfying technique.
David , you got your money out of that blade for sure , thanks for sharing ,God bless !
Worn down and out.

Because of your videos I now EDC one of the 10-049 . Found out it's great for all my every day knife needs thanks
The knife doesn't look impressive. I think it's hard for people to understand just how great this knife is until they try it.

I like the pointy blade best. I love to bore holes in wood with it.

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl I am pretty sure I already know the answer to this question, but they are Stanley OEM blades, right?
The packaging and product are clearly OEM, but I don't know how Stanley deals with their 2nds either.

LOL! I'm that way sometimes.

Shaarrp!
Digging through stuff from my deceased father in law was one of these knives. I am going to order the new blades for it
He must have worked Construction. This knife was popular in the 80s.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl he owned an insulation business.
Ahh!
Those are great whittling knives, I've enjoyed many hours out on the porch just piddling around. Great tutorial, I've got to get by the thrift store and check for me a Hobo Stove project.
They are tough little knives. TY!
Would you please tell us about the sharpen8ng stone? Thanks, nice vid. I bought a 10-049 2 weeks ago and really like it.
Google Smith's Diamond Combination.

When I was still working, if you added up all the feet that I cut, I probably cut a mile of cardboard with the same blade on my Stanley pocketknife.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Can't believe how many Wusthof and Henckels $90.00 knives I've picked up at thrift stores for .69 each. I love the hunt!

Very nice 👌
Thanks Bro!

Another dandy video friend.
They seem to last forever.
love mine!
Use mine everyday.
I bought some new blades but I sharpen my old blades until i have to change.why? Just like to.
So easy to resharpen for years.
Where do you buy you Stanley knife from? I was in Home Depot over the weekend and decided to see if I could find one. Never did!!
Amazon, just Google Stanley 10-049. It'll pop up.

Wow! That's a lot. You don't want to try one out first?

Just gotta ask - Is that your pine needle drying sheet behind you (on the blue tarp)? LOL...
Yes, I found some great ones this morning. I shoved as many as would fit in that 5gl bucket, and then, shoved another 3 handfuls in. They're pretty wet though. Also, on the corner of that tarp, I have some Tulip Poplar bark drying out.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl I brought home a bag full of poplar bark from the kid's house after the Easter egg hunt. Drying as we speak.
Lol ,your gonna talk me into getting one one of these days. Be a good cheap edc.
You'll be glad you did.
🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🔥
