Knife skills are incredibly important in bushcraft so I’m a big fan of practicing them as often as possible. And a great little project to work on those knife skills is by carving a spreader. There aren’t many knife cuts used, mostly a thumb push, but it’ll help hone those techniques.
When we have enough light in the evenings, we teach carving a spreader on our 2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses.
You can see plenty of photos from all of these courses on our Facebook page.
