Went a-practicing today, brought my favorite user (well, favorite today!) the rehandled Becker ilbruche did for me. I broke up part of a pallet we had laying around, built a windbreak from some keystone blocks, used some vaseline cotton balls, oiled twine, and voila! Fire!

I wanted to test a couple pieces of equipment, my olicamp cup (worked well), and my litech tea kettle in which I cooked some deliecious wild rice sausages.

The Becker worked well, fits my hand like a dream, is sharp as heck, holds an edge well too. I batonned it through the pallet- no problem. I used it to make some nice curls to help start the fire---again, no problem. Then it did prep duty on the sausages and the almost unpictured cheese I ate. (You can spot it wrapped in green plastic wrap behind one of the blocks).

Let the good times roll! Nothing beats eating outdoors, smelling the woodsmoke.

Rockywolf,

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Been waiting to see that Becker, Ilbruche has said that my knife is coming soon! You are right about being outside... It was low 30s here today, so I took the family for a hike, but we took a wrong turn, got lost on the back roads and wound up in Massachusetts...

I'll post my RD7 when she comes..

The handle on the Becker looks awesome.

I would like to get some different handles for mine eventually.
