Bushboot vs hiking buddy

[avoidspam]

After reading this post earlier I took the wife's HB in a JRE sheath and attached it to a lanyard around my neck, and then left it there for a few hours as I went about doing various things. There were times when I forgot it was even there. Her's is a 1/8 inch thick with a scandi grind. I bet a 1/8 with a tapered tang and convex grind would do nicely for that. And even the 5/32 with a tapered tang and high or full saber grind would probably do ok.

Bingo

It's about as small as I would personally go for a primary blade, but yes I think so, as long as you either have a larger tool for chopping or chopping isn't required.

This June this Hiking Buddy will be two years old and it still looks beautiful, and I've put it through a good bit.

LOL, she's touchy about her Hiking Buddy. You should have seen the look I got when I asked her to hand it to me then attached it to the lanyard my travel drives are on then headed out the door. There was absolutely no mirth in her eyes when she said "where exactly are you going with my knife?". Then had an expression of utter confusion when I said don't worry, I'm not leaving with it, just trying to answer a question as honestly as I can

Thanks

Hey, no worries man

Yeah, I'm probably lucky to be here, she's little but she's mean when she wants to be Heck one day I was just joking around when I was cooking dinner and she turned around and bit me...half severed my right nipple, man I'd hate to see what she'd do if she was really upset

DANG.... That's a heck of a price to pay for some levity.
