Recently I’ve been working with greenwood and this often leaves a sticky residue behind on my knife. This is a common enough occurrence that I deal with routinely. So in this video I show how to clean a bushcraft knife from residue, although it could as easily be resin from a resinous conifer or indeed even rust.
We teach how to clean a bushcraft knife, as well as how to sharpen one on our 2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses and the IOL Bushcraft Competency Course
You can see photos from these courses, as well as all of our other courses, on our Facebook page.
