Your cruel teasing of me with lovely pix of the Wilderness Learning Center Fox River moved Marty to send me mine early. HA! He was disgusted by your lack of sensitivity, and said you should know better...:D :D

very nice knife there! I don't think I'd taken notice of the fox river.

Cool pics too Brian.

Thanks, Brett. My camera is starting to flake out on me, especially in the focus dept. It used to take great pix, but now I am lucky if it chooses to produce one that is clear. I change the settings to work for the angle, lighting, and distance like I always have, but then it resets itself. other little things are starting to go as well.

Time for a trip to the camera store...

I've been coveting the Fox River for quite awhile (actually, coveting everything in the BRKT line). This knife is everything I had hoped and more. I missed a couple whiskers shaving the day I got it, so I took the blade to my face, and the got whisked right off like it was a straight razor. Combined with my Gossman PSK Jr., I have a great combo of blades. I can start notches and cuts on wood with the Fox River, then My Gossman PSK, Jr. handles the fine work like I am an artist.

When Scott delivers my Massive Tusker, I will have the perfect Trio of knives for any occasion.

Nice thing about the Fox River is that it's robust for batoning and prying out wood when splitting, So it can handle some big knife chores if you use the right technique, but it still is versatile enough to be a great all around Bushcraft blade. Plus, the curring edge is actually just a hair under 4", making it legal to carry in the state of CT!l

Marty, you are the man! Thank you SO much for this surprise in the mail!!!!
 
M,

Of course I will! These pics were just outside my home so I could tell Kevin he can torture me no more! :D

I will be travelling on last-minute biz for work this week, starting tomorrow or Tuesday, but will be able to check in, and may have a chance to play with the FR in the wilderness of Virginia. I'll be in Va Beach then Northern Va just outside of D.C. then back up to CT by end of week. So, it's 50/50 chances for an initial review this week, but 100% by next week.
 
Very cool Brian. Marty swears by that knife. :thumbup:

Brian,

You had to go and post that knife. Now I'll have to come up with another way to razz you. Why do you go and do that to yourself?

Glad you like the knife. The Fox River is one sweet cutter and amazingly capable of "big knife" duty when called on. You have two really great knives in that duo and the Gossman Tusker Max is a real nice blade to round it out.

Good talking with you today. Time to get yourself some rest though buddy. Just think, less than 4 weeks until the CT gathering.
 
great looking knife...:thumbup: you can't go wrong with those fox rivers.. i'm sure it'll serve you well....:)
 
No matter what else I plan on carrying for a trip to the woods, I always grab my Fox River first.
