So, after a year or so of admiration I finally got me an eagle from mark
First off one of marks quality pics
I know I'm biased but I think its the nicest looking eagle i'v seen so far
As for using it.....Well, its a knife made of subtleties is this
Mark has come up with a refreshing design here without resorting to making something different just for the sake of it.
Every bit of the knife has thought behind it and is very well executed
The handle for example. Look at the pics and it seems like just a plain simple design, nowt wrong in that mind
But when you grab hold of it it becomes obvious that there is a very definite design there....mark tells me it comes from getting
People to squeeze play-doh lol
The blade, again is a thing of subtle design
every grip and technique I used seemed to have a section of blade specifically for the purpose, brilliant!
The back of the blade has its subtitles too.....starting from the handle you've got the concave section for scraping bark,
Then the little hump is perfect for scraping up birch bark for tinder and such like, and then there's the high grind at the tip that scrapes a firesteel
Like nobody's business
I had a roughed out sycamore spoon blank laying about that i'd rejected a couple of months ago. fairly hard going but very little fatigue from that chunky handle and the blade performed perfectly.....and sheath of course
Bit of a try stick
That'll work
This really is a great knife folks....if ray mears had commissioned one of these years ago, a lot of bushcrafters would have better tools
So, thanks mark for making me this great knife it should become a trusty companion for many years......adam
