What does one do to keep from going wackadoo while sitting in the woods for 8+ hours? Well, first you use your ESEE-6 to cut a small tree down, then you use your RAT Pack knife and carve out a nice walking stick.
I stripped the bark, trimmed all branches and knots, carved handle, rounded ends and shaved / scraped the entire thing to a fine finish with one knife, that, all kidding aside, could still shave the hair on the back of my hand. Not the whole edge, but from about mid-ship to point. The reset was still very sharp though. When I got home, it took exactly two swipes on the Sharpmaker on each side to bring it to shaving sharp again. I LOVE THIS KNIFE.
What amazed me was how comfortable the knife was the entire time. My hand did not get any hot spots or fatigue. I was also pleased with the chopping power of the 6.
Sorry for the sub-par photos, I only had a camera phone.
Why was I in the woods? Surveillance.
