My dog (Jo's dog) Sadie is completely useless in every imaginable way. What does the dog do?

Hey Andy, I’ll be happy to lend you the FK2 prototype PT scored for me last week. I’m sure we would all like to see your comparison review, and you could help Nathan dial in his production FK2 for the preorder.![]()
Thanks for the offer man!
I would say maybe after the New Year when things slow down lets chat if you are still willing or if I am not able to score one on a Fun Friday event by then*
We would all like to see your comparison review, too, Gus. And comparison pics!Hey Andy, I’ll be happy to lend you the FK2 prototype PT scored for me last week. I’m sure we would all like to see your comparison review, and you could help Nathan dial in his production FK2 for the preorder.![]()

Yikes! Stay safe, man.Thanks Christian, but unfortunately I don’t work in the wilderness, and I don’t go camping. I work in a hospital. No bears, but there are a lot of nasty bugs around. It is in a rough section of Miami, I might need it to defend myself while walking to my car late at night. I did promise to do a comparison review, so I’ll try to put something together, but I don’t think it’s going to help Nathan dial in his FK2. I’ll admit it, I just wanted a Motherfucker.![]()

Man the UF; perfect for late night walks along unlit streets!
I would be always carrying a weapon if in a big city like that; bladed or boom or both.
The “wilderness” is actually pretty soft on a knife as you are only ever cutting wood fibre or flesh vs. prying open doors, opening walls, that kind of stuff. I do have a Stider DB-L getting sheath work done for said envrionments but I don’t ask or expect that thing to feather me up a fire stick or pull apart wild meat.
Hey, really, thanks for taking the time to share these!
Great looking dog, btw. I‘m sure he makes an excellent companion out there.
Also have another question: I see you carry an axe with you in the winter to check the thickness of ice (maybe other uses as well) and so pairing it with the FK probably has you pretty well covered. Are there other times (maybe other seasons) where you prefer to leave the axe behind and opt for a bigger knife, eg the HDFK, instead (for overall weight considerations)?
Nice display!
Man, you’re really putting a lot of hipsters over in Brooklyn to shame
Favorite axe and hatchet?
Is this a HDFK? I’ve been trying to search for pics of this blade in hand.
