Great report from the field Ken, sounds like a fun trip. What sort of tasks, anything challenging or unusal?
Great selection for such a trip.
It was great holiday that was over to soon , work this week is a struggle
There wasn't any out of the ordinary knife tasks , just the general everyday things that camping and outside activities put in front of you .
I found that the Farmer was used 99% for its tools .
The bottle opener ( it was Christmas remember
) was the most used .
The fine tip/screw driver on the can opener was handy to open up some small Phillips head screws on a number of occasions .
The Saw got its moment of glory cutting the top off a big thick plastic drum that we needed to convert into an open topped bucket .
The Blade really only got used maybe a couple of times on Christmas morning to open some presents .
The Big Spyderco Resilience really impressed me . I bought it second hand before leaving for the trip and didn't know what to expect knowing that it is from their cheap Chinese made line of knives .
I took it with me thinking that if it got lost , damaged or confiscated going through Customs at the airport then it would be no great lose .
I really like it and because it was always in my waistband and the ease and speed of the one handed opening meant that just about all the cutting tasks were done with it .
It seemed to keep an edge fairly well and wasn't babied in any way .
I did touch up the edge once but for the amount of work it got I don't think that's to bad and it only took a minute to get it shaving hair off my arm again .
