Another commenter spoke about learning general principles. Absolutely!! Attention to details , resolve to finish a job and learning from older people Use and care of a knife will lead to skills needed later in life. Self reliance is key. Self control also.
Gotta admit, I was mesmerized watching this! Felt like I was 8 years old again. That kid was paying so much attention to the work at hand that he will absolutely learn something. Not only a skill, but how to take direction and apply it to life. Man, our kids today are doomed!
I was in the Boy Scouts and loved it. Spent several Summers up in the Sierra Mountains working on merit badges, completed the woodcarving badge and many others. All useful life skills for someone not scared to go outside their house. There are entire generations of boys growing up now that will never have these skills and that is truly sad. At least they'll be able to join the Girl Scouts and sell cookies.
I have several nice jacknives and folding knives as gifts from my late father, so this brings back memories. Never was in the Scouts, though. And grateful for that. Knife Crime>>>>Knifecraft

All very useful information for all. 👏👏
That kid is the epitome of American health!

Just the kids who have “woke” parents and “woke” commie teachers at school.
I just picked up a Schrader carving knife on eBay. I'm heading up to the hobby store later today to get some balsa wood to try it out!
You'll want basswood blocks. Balsa is too soft and stringy for whittling, especially smaller or detailed pieces.
@@saito125 Thank you for your great suggestion! I'll definitely try it out! Thanks again!
Making things with your hands is a lost art.

Great video Johnny!
This video could never be made today. Too many parents would freak out if you taught a kid how to sharpen a knife, and use a sharp knife.
I guess you are not in a scout troop.

Back when the Boy scouts were really boy scouts.

the ">" symbol stands for "greater than"
ex. 2 > 1 means 2 is greater than 1
This film really "cuts" through all the nonsense about knives.
Where's Donny Don't?
DONT DO WHAT DONNIE DO Right DOES!
In 1958, I used my Boy Scout knife to rob 2 Girl Scouts of their stash of cookies.
okay... 😂
