The nights are starting to drop cooler and that means we will be lighting up the woodstove so today I figured I'd make some Fuzz-sticks.
Now I ain't the best at making these so take that into account when judging the work of each knife !
First up my Booshway, this is a sorta jack of all trades knife, if ya only gonna carry one edged tool then this is a great one to have. Pretty comfy to use and the fuzz stick while not being the best, would certainly get a fire going !

Next up was my Knatchet, I wish any of those that doubt this tool could try it because I think they would be pleasantly suprised !

Onto my Wohlwend Bushcrafter, man this thing bites into wood. Hardest thing with this little blade is stopping it going in too deep. I'd rate this a very close second in this line up of fuzzy makers...great little blade !

Now onto my Dave Farmer Camp knife. This is the first knife I take when camping, performs awesome on food stuffs.
As I started the Fuzzy I thought this knife was gonna take first place, man does it cut nice. However after only a few cuts my hand really started to hurt, you can see on the pic that I stopped this Fuzzy pretty early on due to the discomfort. Dave made this knife a long time ago so if his handles are now more comfy then I think his entry in the Bushcraft challenge is really gonna be a touigh one to beat !

And so to the one I rated best overall in this bunch, my little ML Survivalist.
This knife cuts so smoothly and while not biting in quite as much as the Bushcrafter still gets the job done. The thing that gives this the edge though is the handle, very, very comfy. No hotspots at all, I think I could cut with this all day long !

And remember I was only judging them at Fuzzies, if I did other tasks the positions would likely change !
