By the way, I'm pretty sure the diamond sharpening plate is for sharpening the knife.
There's a picture showing the guy scrubbing the ferro rod across the surface of the sharpening plate. I'm assuming this is to illustrate the use of the ferro rod to start a fire?
Unless I don't know about this technique, that seems totally wrong.
I always though you were supposed to scrape down the length of the ferro rod with the sharpened squared spine of the knife, which is a feature of the Bushcraft knife, and other knives designed to work with ferro rods.
Is scrubbing the ferro rod across the diamond plate really a legit technique, or did the production team not know what they were doing?
K.T.NMy only thought, which I would use the back of my blade for, would be to create some shavings. Still it's not being used as intended. I have the survival version and I don't recommend it. The knife itself is fantastic, the extra stuff isn't as quality as I would prefer. The ferro rod is small and the sharpening plate is very rough and not great unless you've really blunted your blade. Just my opinion. 29.99 for the black is a decent deal though.
