So, took a walk down to the woods to give the new knife a bit of a work out. It was a damp miserable day.
The mildness of the weather seemed to have fooled the plants into flowering again
The sun tried to break through, but it remained misty.
having reached my spot in the woods, i thought i'd do a few photo's of the 3 Bernie knives i now own.
first off i tried the nessie out on this bit of pine, by chopping off all the small branches
Then i cut it into logs, 7 used the nessie to chop them up. Hope you can see how knotty the pine was, the knife performed realy well despite this, 7 remained more than sharpe enough to shave kindling.
After all that hard work, it was time for tea & something to eat, & what better than bacon ?. The lovely little frying pan, was a gift along with some other pots from Oregon Dave(thanks Dave)
I had a good day out(always do). I enjoyed using the knife, i don't know if Bernie came up with the spec for this, or the original buyer did, but its a pocket battleship, the sort of thing the Tom Brown tracker would like to be when it grows up.
Nice one Bernie
Had a bonus on the way home found these deer tracks, where i had walked on the way in.
