Using a crooked knife

 What is a crooked knife, what is it for and how do we use it? Here is folk artist Bubby Mooers showing us how to hold it properly and safely.




To my mind, the crooked knife is the truly versatile bushcraft tool. Like the old Native Americans, trappers and woodsmen, we can use it to work on many wood implements, from canoes to paddles, and from snow shoes to spoons.
