Here is a little review of the mountaineer 1 I did a couple weeks ago. I did basic camp/survival tasks with it.
Here is a comparison pic with the BK5 just to give everyone a size reference, it's a little fella.
Here is a pic batonning kindling with it, worked just fine for this, just keep the wood size reasonable.
Making trap parts and fuzz sticks ad processing fatlighter. It's very sharp and nimble knife, finer tasks is where it excels.
Cutting down a small tree to make a spear. I'm sure most of you guys know thi technique. Bend the tree and cut down into it at the apex of the bend, itll dang near cut he tree in half with one cut. It was kinda difficult doing all this and taking a pic at the same time.
Batonnig the end of the tree off to make it the correct length.
Finished spear.
Overall impressions are good. It's a small knife that's very sharp and very capable if used correctly. It works great for finer tasks and food prep. Reminds me of a mora, just more robust and beefy.
Hope ya'll enjoyed the review.
