Hiking, skills, camp, new toys- Wrightwood, CA

Thanks for the reply man. It's interesting, just looking at the pics I thought it was a clone too. I've yet to have a chance to handle an actual Woodlore but bought the last one I picked up because of the similar design but having a 4mm blade is more up my alley. It is also made in England by a man named Mick Spain. I had some concerns about how I would like that grind on a thicker steel after trying one in 3/16 and finding some tasks hard to accomplish but the thinner steel and higher grind on this one is working out very well for me. Funny how things can look so similar and feel so differently in use isn't it?

That is very true. And the only real way to find out is using the knife. I think I got real lucky since I bought it online on a whim and purely off looks. I knew I wanted a Scandi knife but this knife exceeded my expectations.

It is a cool knife, didn't use it much, but it rocks!

Great pics, thanks for sharing. Looks like some nice country to be enjoying.

Thanks. I thought I would miss the best months for backpacking since I left in July and got back a couple of weeks ago. Turns out there is still some good weather and I seem to like fall hiking more, maybe it's the colors. We do have some beautiful country here in CA, desert, mountains, lakes, etc.
