Hello!

[Little Mole]

I'm new here. Friend (and girlfriend) of Great Pebble. Know a respectable amount about medicinal and edible plants and other wild food, how to catch fish, first aid, how to drive and that's about the extent of my usefulness...apart from digging of course. Oh and having a positive attitude in harsh weather...apart from heat, heat kills me.


If I had to survive in the "bush" (if that bush was in Ireland or somewhere with a similar climate) I think I could manage to do so for as long as I had to...and I think I'd really enjoy it.

So...hello everyone.

Hello Little Mole,
Bet you dont carve spoons either. :wave:

 

[Little Mole]

Why spend time and energy carving something you can "borrow"?



Actually, I tend to stay away from knives as much as possible. As a leftie I've had more than my fair share of knife accidents.

Ever heard of safety rules? ): :biggthump

 

[Little Mole]

Bah.....yes. ): The problem is that most knives are made to suit right handed people and tend to "push" in the wrong direction. When I'm slicing a tomato for example, the knife will usually push towards me rather than away from me. It doesn't happen with all knives but it's something I have to be very careful about.

I'd forgotten this, but my (leftie) sister has the same problem with her kitchen knives so had to spend a fortune on a left-handed set

I must try and remember to lend her a scandi knife and see if she gets on with that

 

[Little Mole]

I wonder if anyone designs knives/multi-tools for lefties. I've had a few problems with my Leatherman. Just general stuff like the knife never being where I expect it to be and the general feeling that everything is in the wrong place.

I'm interested in your first aid know how, would you tell me more about it? I don't understand where the problem comes with knives though unless it's the way a right handed person might sharpen them free hand.
