Charlie Mike, this one's for you! I've been meaning to buy one of these for about 15 years or whatever it's been. Back in the day CM bought one of these Cold Steel Bushrangers and ground the spine of the knife down a bit so that the thumbplate acted as a wave. He liked the knife so much that he gave the Sebenza, that had been his daily user (and boy did he "use his sh*t"), away because "he didn't need it anymore".

I actually got caught up with this thread this morning--some twenty pages worth that went largely unread and reacted to since we left for Vermont well over week ago. The cellular internet access is so intermittent up there and it takes forever for pics load, if at all, so I don't bother much with BF, though I did manage a few text-only posts in some other threads while we were up North.

Catching up with my carries while away, after our woods walk Saturday I discovered a large paper birch that had fallen, since our last stay a few weeks back, not far from the house right across what we'd cleared years ago and call "the lane", extending a couple hundred yards northward toward a pair of streams. It's through wooded upland that had been part of old pasture next to what's now a shrub swamp and is transitioning from edge timber (birch and balsam, mainly) to northern hardwoods (beech, maple, and ash). The birches, leaning and straining towards the light, seem to rot off right at the ground and fall. This one was about 14" at the base, with a very solid bole almost 30' to the first fork and easy pickin's with direct access to the Ranger and a nearby plank to roll the bigger rounds up into the bed.

I switched up to a usual bright orange knife for working in the woods....

What we got from that stem is the front rank in this pic plus four limb pieces on top of the middle row, which was cut and stacked from another birch on our previous trip up.
