Woodlore Pro is absolutely useless……

…..at being a bottle opener. The blade is‘nt wide enough for my liking. You can’t get a good push off with the left thumb because it’s too close to the angled edge. He should have put one on there as he did with the Wilkinson Sword MK1 Survival. If it’s going to be the most important tool used in bushcraft. It should perform the most important task in bushcraft

Real bushcrafters use their teeth and don't abuse their knives to open beer bottles...

 

[oldtimer]

No problem open beer or wine bottles with my SAK!

I see your grandfather left out how to properly use a knife as bottle opener ...

I’m using the Raymond method. But in reverse so Clem could take a better picture

 

[TLM]

There is a netter way, I'll see if I can find a vid. You twist the blade on the knuckle of the hand holding the bottle, quite safe, controlled and about 99% succesful.

 

[JonathanD]

With the spine edge in the crimping?

 

[Great egret]

maybe you can hammer the tip of the knife in the cap and pry it of

 

[TeeDee]

What you need is one of these. Right tool , right job.

 

[TLM]

With the spine edge in the crimping?

Yes, quite right.

 

[Hammock_man]

Mine is so sharp I just slice the top 6mm off !!!!!!

(Like a peasant like me could own one)

Are you mad. I’d rather carry a 5 pound frying pan.

Good tip, I’ll try that next time. But won’t that squirt all over the place

Dark side of the moose?

 

[Billy-o]

You want the spine of the knife on the other side of the bottle and lever it off using the side of your hand as a fulcrum. In fact your lighter will be marginally better at it. But you can use pretty much anything.

 

[JonathanD]

Dark side of the moose?

Oh yes.

 

[billycoen]

Use the force young Jedi..

 

[Broch]

The serious issue, that no one has addressed, is the clear wastage of Mws Piws!
