My
JK - Hurley Creek showed up today

and within an hour I had it wrapped, sharpened, sheathed and on my belt.
Myke and I went for our first walk about

.
The Hurley Creek is the perfect COMPANION knife. It will play well with all the other kids - be they 8" Bowies,
JK/Rule #9s,
Spyderco PMs or
Buck 110s. I can see no reason not to be carrying
Myke every time I go into the woods - regardless of whatever other knife I will be carrying.
You can see I did a quick wrap with nylon tape. Stuff sticks very tenaciously to itself and to the knife, so even though I threw
Myke around - tested his capabilities as a thrower with lots of handle splats in the detritus - the wrap still looks pretty decent.
As for it's usefulness as a thrower - I will need some practice. It's pretty light (
this is a 3/16" thick version) to be a good sticker, so mostly a soft target thrower, until I get the feel of it. I think it has the potential to be one I can side swipe out of the sheath some day with a hit and stick in most targets. Will be fun.
The small and supple sheath was something I had and kept, hoping it would fit the HC. So it did! The wrap added a bit of needed retention. I have a great combo in these 2.
Mostly came home with DEATH MUSHROOMS but they were pretty and unlike most of the commons shrooms out on the trails today.
I trust my wife to save me from my harvest. So far so good - she hasn't been tempted to fix me a deadly side dish

.
Thank you John. Thank you Mykel. This HC, aka,
Myke has found an appreciative home.
I encourage anyone sitting on the edge about getting a
Hurley Creek to get off and order one (or 3) they are excellent knives and a bargain to boot!!
Cheers,
