I’m walking today on a fair long hiking whit the Fox Compso


I leaved early this morning, the Moon was just going down


The Fox Compso is a small fixed blade, is born as a neck-knife, anyway I received several feedback from the users and some of them uses it as a da back-up knife, carrying it in the rucksack, or, like me, as an utility knife to carry when I want something more robust than a folder but not too big. Here the Compso whit the Fallkniven WM1




The sheaths: I like more the Compo’s one, is more pocketable


Speaking about meausres, look at the Compso next to an Omega PO 45,5 mm, it’s really compact


The way I carry my Compso: in the jeans pocket


To pulling out the Compso what I need it’s just pushing my thumb against the sheath



I continue my biking, both on main streets and country tracks




Need for a walking stick, handling my Compso and looking for the right woods






The Fox Compso it’s not a slicer, due to the tickness of the blades and the scandi grind, I’m not saying that it’s not cutting, but it’s more a robust knife that a real slicer.

On the sky, the Sun too is “walking”



On the road again, an old Citroen it’s carrying me on the ‘40th



After 1 hour, the Sun it’s going down, and the temperature too


Some hours ago, I found next to the track a beer can (empty, unfortunately)


I want to do a survival stove, to have some warm and fun




Fire is always a priority on the “survival”: it’s mean to be warm, and also is a great psychological help


More, I could boiling the water of this stream, so I may drink it without problems


Conclusions: the Compso is a small knife robust and pocketable. Not the best slicer you may find. The spear-point blade it’s really useful when you need to do holes in some materials. The handle is not so comfortable due his shortness, anyway I didn’t feel the need of gloves today.
