#cutting tools

An ancient hunter’s toolkit. Martin Novák

"This pile of sand and stones was once a leather bag containing a hunter’s tools. It was left at a campsite in the Pavlovské vrchy Hills in the Czech Republic around 30,000 years ago. The tools include everything from spear or arrow tips to cutting tools for meat and wood. They are well used and some have been remade from older tools, leading the archaeologists to speculate the tools were taken on long expeditions on which resources were scarce. It’s possible the tools were deliberately discarded because of their worn state."

Outside of Duct Tape, I don't know any single item that has more uses than WD-40. A bottle of this stuff can be used to make a flame thrower or to repair old tools.

The WD stands for water displacement; meaning that it is a degreaser. It is also classified as a penetrating oil.

Penetrating oil, also known as penetrating fluid, is very low-viscosity oil. It can be used to free rusted mechanical parts (such as nuts and bolts) so that they can be removed because it can penetrate into the narrow space between the threads of two parts. It can also be used as a general-purpose lubricant, a cleaner, or a corrosion stopper. Using penetrating fluids as general-purpose lubricants is not advisable because such oils are relatively volatile. As a result, much of the penetrating oil will evaporate in a short amount of time, leaving little residual lubricant.

However, if you're off the grid and you don't want your squeeaky hinges attracting curious ears, it will work just fine.

Clauss EMT shears .

 I was kindly sent these titanium bonded EMT shears by the folks at survival depot .

Claus have been making cutting instruments since 1877 and their patented process of titanium bonded blades are apparently 3 times harder than untreated stainless steel  and also highly resistant to corrosion .

 Ive been using these sheers in all aspects of workshop use from opening plastic blister packs, cutting 4mm veg-tan leather and cordura webbing , 550 ,kevlar /technora and specta cordage as well as cable ties and medium gauge copper wire .

Do you know the difference between scissors and shears? I didn’t so I looked it up and now I can edify us all. Scissors usually have equal-sized finger holes and are under 6″ in length. Shears have one hole that is bigger than the other and their blade lengths are normally longer than 6″. The terms scissors and shears are often used interchangeably...
