This thing showed up in the mail today, so I put it to the challenge... not sure how I feel about it. The blade sure is..... beefy.

Is it just the angle of the photo or is the blade to handle ratio kind of extreme?

Yes. I will probably post a new thread in a day or 2 to go over pros and cons... the blade is almost taller than the handle. I think in this photo the blade looks shorter than ot actually is

Not a great feather stick but wast just kicking back relaxing while out in the woods I’m October. I just wanted to get the feel of the 119 and 120 because I hadn’t really used them before outside if kitchen duty.

Imgur is apparently not available . . . I'll re-post some work I did with a Buck 422 as soon as I can get to the pics.

When I feel better, I'm going to do a few with a Buck 110 and then use them to make a fire. I haven't done a one stick fire in over a year!

You are a master at feather sticking! It must be satisfying to watch those catch fire.

Thanks! I think this next weekend I'll do something.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm happy with how my skills have progressed with practice, practice, practice. I don't want to be one of those guys who can't take a compliment, but I'm really a beginner compared to some I've seen. If you want to see some really impressive feathersticks, check out bushcraftusa.com (I used to be a regular there and learned a lot from the others).

It is really cool to watch them burn. It used to be a little sad to see something that I spent time "creating" get consumed, but after a while I learned to embrace the fact" that's why I made them! And I can always make more as long as I have a decent stick or two.

I have a new, not-so-original saying: keep doing something, and you are bound to get better at it.

Good saying!
