Hike with C Bryant

bearthedog · Nov 8, 2008

Christian lives about 20 minutes from me so we got together for a little hike and some knife play. He came by the house and brought a very nice collection of ML and JK Knives. He had some nice Hawks and small hatchets as well. There were also some Koyote knives and TOPS in the case.

The area we hiked in has some nice streams and waterfalls.

Looking for the right shot!

Stranger than the Evil Squirrel trying to hit us with acorns!

Actualyl, Christian used this to carry his knife bag.

To say that we are both ML fans is a huge understatement.

C ownes more JK knives than the average bear! I got to see up close, the different kinds of wood John uses.

Looks like a fun time, with great knives. I especially like that E.W.O.K. That's the one on the right?

Looks like Jake and I have competition for best forum duo! Haha.

That little lamp is cool. What kind of fuel does it use?

I have a flint and striker but really suck at using it. When I hit it hard enough to get a good spark, it always chips the flint. Looks like Christian has it down.
