Rescue Knives
Does anyone know the name of a book that I read back in elementary school?
Its about a boy that I think gets stranded on a island and all he had was his a pocket knife or Swiss army knife and makes shelter for himself and gathers food and I think in the end he gets rescued but I'm not quit sure.
I also think it's Hatchet by Gary Paulsen- he's standed with just a hatchet after a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness.
I'm still crazy about that book.

Gerber Multi
D.E.T.Multi-Plier® 600,or the freehand muti-tool made by gerber?
like both but no need Blasting Cap Crimper i not mass with exploives but looking for multi-tool that can take a beating my last pair broke it was the the pair for 600 for 60$ at wal mart and takes both hands to open the to i lested is made to open with 1 hand and ples dont make fun of my spelling
what multi-tool is better to buy
I can absolutely recommend the Gerber freehand multi-tool. After owning several multi tools over the past 6 years, it has been the Gerber that has survived my abuse and has always come up working. I recall that it was a bit more expensive than the others, but it has lated longer than four of the others put together, and it has "MacGiver'd" me out of several situations. It weighs a little bit over pound, but it's strong enough to do real work.

Sharpening carving tools is an essential step in carving. A sharp carving tool works better because it slices through the wood easier, making it safer and quicker to use. It, also, leaves a cleaner path behind. A good sharp edge means less effort, which means less force. When less force is needed, more control is possible, making the work safer.
There are many methods of sharpening carving tools from power grinders to wetstones to sandpaper and finally the strop. The most inexpensive method is using a couple of grades of sandpaper and a strop.
How much sharpening is needed depends on how damaged the edge of the blade is. If damaged or dull, you will need to use a 400 grit sandpaper laid on a flat surface such as the edge of the table. Place the blade edge down and drag it across the wet surface of the paper at an eleven degree angle. One way of finding an approximate eleven degree angle is to use either a nickel or a dime beneath the spine of the blade.
If your carving blade is three quarters of and inch in width or more, lay your blade flat on the sharpening surface and raise the spine of the blade until you can fit the edge of a nickel under it. If it is less than three quarters of an inch, use a dime.
Drag the edge along the wet sandpaper surface until all the nicks are gone and you have a smooth edge. Then do the same thing using a 600 grit wet sandpaper.
Finish by loading your leather (strop) up with your white aluminum oxide to the point that it won't absorb any more compound. You can use some light oil to help create a paste-like consistency. Make sure you wipe your blade clean of any sandpaper residue with a cloth. You don't want to get any grit on your strop. Then drag your knife edge along the strop at the same 11 degree angle, and continue equally on both sides, sharpening until you get a mirrored edge.
You can test the sharp edge by taking your knife and carving across the end grain of a piece of carving wood. You should see a smooth shiny surface and the end grain clearly. If you see a white line in your slice, you have a nick in your edge. You need to go back and start the process over. Once you have the edge you like on your knife, all you should have to do is strop about every fifteen minutes and protect your edge when you're not using your knife.
