This is going to be a long and pic heavy post, so be warned. 
Today was the first day this year that we got to get out to our woods in WV as a family. It was a beautiful sunny day, albeit a bit chilly; it didn't get out out of the low 40's where we were in the mountains. We went on a nice hike around some of our property lines, and generally just enjoyed being outside after having spent so much time indoors during the winter.
Naturally, I brought a few knives along with me for the hike.
I was really hoping to test out my Dog Soldier 8; however, it is not being delivered until tomorrow so I missed out on testing it this time. That actually probably turned out for the best though, because for the first time I was able to get some real use in with my regular INFI Dog soldier, and I'm very impressed. I used the DS for some light branch and vine clearing, some wood splitting, and a little bit of carving. The handle and blade length make it an extremely comfortable knife to use.
My @Dan Keffeler Sasquatch was also hungry today, and wanted to make some sawdust. I know it's not INFI, but we are all knife lovers here so I figure it's safe to share.
Next, there was a tree that I wanted to take down since it got damaged during a recent storm. Sure I could have used a chainsaw or an axe, but what fun is that?
I also wanted to mention that although my Dog Soldier was on my hip all day, I hardly even noticed it was there; it rode extremely comfortably in my @Azula Gun Holsters sheath. I usually like a dangler to drop my knives down a bit lower than the DS rides, and I was afraid that it wouldn't be comfortable with it being up higher, but I'm now a big fan. I'm not sure I'd feel the same with with a fusion handle, but it's perfect for the Res C!
