    Interesting video. At first I wasn't sure I liked his "know it all" attitude. But more I listened, the more I agreed with what he had to say. Personally, I like batoning, but I no longer baton 3+" logs with my BC knives. I baton only 1-2" pieces because it's quick & easy. Also extremely low danger of catastrophic failure. I have a big Kershaw beater blade I use for batoning bigger stuff. It's sole purpose is to hack, chop and baton.

    I am watching in true amazement as this spider makes a new web on my back deck. To see him start with nothing and then build the whole thing. .. incredible!!!

    @CWB is a very very AWESOME guy.

    He recently asked for my address , so he could send a care package. I initially thought he was sending up some cool local BBQ spices or hot sauces or local coffee or a shemagh or something.

    Today I got a little box in the mail, about the size of bag of coffee beans or a hot sauce bottle sample box........I eagerly opened it and promptly sat down with my jaw on the ground.....

    Ya'll know i'm not big on bushcraft type knives, I like big choppers and weird looking tactical military knives....but let me tell you something....this FiddleBack Forge HandyMan, slips into the hand very easily and is very comfortable to use. I am looking forward to using this little scalpel , both as a classy EDC, and as a woods knife for very detailed cutting and general woodworking.

    I'll let the pics do the talking, because i'm speechless....

    Thank you very much @CWB , you are beyond awesome. That hand written letter is going into the vault, it means a lot to me what you wrote. The knife is going into USE! :cool:

    @CWB said that knife almost took his finger off, i believe him.....I dropped it while being amazed at it, and it just slipped past my boys and snicked into the carpet between my feet. I damn near screamed like a girl ....:confused: thought i would have to sew a slice in the jeans.....:D

    CWB is top notch, for sure. Gave me an ESEE velcro patch and a super nice leather bushcraft bag that I thought was way too nice for him to give me lol

    I also have a really nifty antler-handled firesteel McKrob gave me as an extra, when we traded or I bought some knives from him.

    Buddy of mine going thru hell right now. I will not go into it, its personal between said Bro and his family. But I will say this...........there is no greater moment in a persons life, than when he pours a glass of good bourbon or whiskey for his friend, and lets that friend let loose with his troubles.

    someone poured me a glass of good whiskey one day, Oct 2015 , and let me vent. I was very honored today to return that favor.

    nuff said.
