Knife Safety

[Wayland]

I'm looking for a link for my web site for a knife safety article.

Does anybody know a good one?

Yes, a very important topic. Remember Les Stroud on television cutting himself while trying to get water from a vine? As he was slashing with his knife I was cringing...ugh! Such poor knifemanship!

Hi Wayland,
This isn't exactly what you're asking for but I thought you might find it useful anyway. http://www.ukoutdoorstore.co.uk/safeknifeuse.html although titled 'Safe Knife Use Guide & UK Knife Law' it doesn't actually mention knife safety. D

I expected to be able to find a good set quite easily but I'm starting to think I'll have to produce my own.

I know what you mean, I've spent the last couple of days on research . This might not be right either; but I'm heading in the right direction (I hope ) now.http://www.sito.co.nz/doclibrary/public/resources/KnifeGuideResource.pdf Like I said; not quite right......yet.

Hmm. Would think the scouts would have something on the subject.

Nope, well not on scoutbase anyway. Axe and saw is covered in
http://www.scoutbase.org.uk/library/hqdocs/facts/pdfs/fs315070.pdf but no sign of a factsheet on the safe handling of knives.

I would produce your own Wayland. From what I've seen of your posts on here you know what you're talking about, and I'm sure the members here will chip in and offer suggestions should you need them
And what better source for knife safety tips than people who use them day in day out

Of course, I understand it'll be a hell of a lot easier for you if you can find a link with all the information already typed up and ready to be read

Might be worth thrashing through the ideas round the fire at Delamere?
