Great instructional video. Found this when searching for tips on teaching my 9yr old Cub, (UK) son the fundamentals of handling a knife. Many thanks all. Stay safe and God bless.
I have taught the cub scout knife safety program for 4 years. I always got and kept their attention by first showing and explaining 10 or 12 different styles of knives, folding fixed blade, machete, WW II combat knives, and even hatchets and axes. Then we went over the 10 rules by having each cub stand up and read it from a large chart with discussion. I added in how to treat knife wounds when they are alone, how to stop bleeding and emergency first aid. We ended by letting the boys look at and handle all the items that I had brought. Finally I uncovered a couple of swords with matching fixed blade knives and had pictures taken with the boys holding them. They really stayed involved during my whole presentation.,.,.,.,.
Never forget that safety is an “acceptable degree of risk”. I grew up with a Barlow, Cub Scout knife and later a Boy Scout knife. I played Mumbley peg all the time and generally had a pocket knife in my pocket all the time, even at school -forbidden these days.
It's an older video of course, but I think Kory would be well advised to put some more energy into his presentation. I understand that you mustn't overdo it either, that you would wish for a calm, semi-formal setting and such, but you can control this well enough by choosing the time of day foremost: mid-late afternoon, after meals e.g.. You can engage more, and when you manage it, it won't be like goofing off: Move about a little, use your hands, emote, have some interesting things to look at also ready. 2nd, there is talking about things, and there is mentioning all the things that you wish to talk about at another time. The later, as we might suspect, doesn't help very much. And for teachers it really is a danger: there is so much content to go through that one might skitter here and there, touch on content only to throw it back down because there's no time; and, in the end, notice that in truth nothing was really finished. Maybe with children especially, just start somewhere, don't outline an agenda. Instead, have a clear teaching objective for this first thing, make haste a little, we have more to come, then a quick - best be hands-on - exercise to confirm, to reinforce; then next point. Being concise is key because kids don't do well with long lectures; have exercises (to break up the pace also) as we go along. There is also a really long section (from ~10-15 minutes) showing all the knives they're not even going to get: Benchmades, and spring-assists, and fixed blades. Why is this here? It's: 'Here, all this nice cool stuff, we'll not actually be using this.' Could be in the review section at the end, in fact could be used to elicit from kids why these are not good choices for beginners.
I think Kory does just fine and knows his audience - the most important part of public speaking. He was, after all, the director of communications to a prime minister and familiar face on Canadian television news lol
A dull knife might need more force to cut, and it can sometimes slip off of what you're cutting. This can be quite dangerous. Sharp knives will not slip, and should cut with ease.
@@BackCountryRunaway what does 5hat have to do with anything? You have to pull a fixed place from a sheath. You have to re sheath it after use. The statistics are out. Folders are safer.
When you are handing over your knife to another person, you close the blade prior to giving it to them and then hand them the closed secured knife safely. (referring to #9 ) NEVER with the blade open. I think the concept of your video is great but you need to rethink some of your points and your demonstration of knife handling, kids are sponges and they will copy how you are demonstrating how to handle and use of the knife. I think you are a good person for committing yourself to helping these boys and giving of your time ! just review the video and I'm sure you'll see what points I'm talking about. A knife is like a gun, never point it at yourself and the point (tip), and the blade should never sweep your body parts.. I hope your camping trip went well ! you look like you got a great camp site!! btw, what ever happen to the official "Cub"scout knife?
I understand for kids/cubs, but besides that, isn't the right way to give someone a knife is to hold the back of the blade and point the handle to them?

Sounds like the camera lens zoom was mounted to tank gun turret. 😆
Great video, thank you.
We really appreciate this information and the sequencing , thanks to all !

What would a scout be doing that a lock (never in my life heard it called a "safety") would prevent injury?
wouldnt it prevent accidental closing on fingers? I would think thats the reason for it.
I guess so it does not close on their hands. edit, it talks about it at 9:00
Is that a benchmade
but how do you cut stretchy things with a nice???
Remember , don't do what Donny Don't does !
why is the zoom making that horrible noise, 1980s VHS cameras did not even make that noise!!!!!
Cubs in the UK dont use knives
Cubs and in fact Beavers in the UK can and do use knives.

The sound of the zoom
How is a dull knife the most “dangerous”
@Cursed Knight that happen to me and i had to go to the hospital to get stitches. I was crying
@Cursed Knight i did that with an axe
Yeah

Noisy zoom on your camera
I went I want to Cub scouts
Does anyone think people just dislike for no reason
You can throw throwing knives Thoa
Folders are so much dangerous than fixed blades....
No they are not.
@@OvertonWindex a folder can close on your fingers. A fixed blade cant

@@OvertonWindex hmm. I think you should look that up. Im not going to argue on social media.
@@BackCountryRunaway you dont have to argue. Just look up the right thing. Injuries in children knife handling in an EDC or outdoor capacity.

There is so much wrong with this information.
Cool
Awesome
I Mean SPECTACULAR!
Solomon McKay wait what the heck this vid was made 2 years ago.
Boring I literally fell asleep. 😴😴😴😴
