Sorry I haven't been around in a while, it has been a rough few months. First a family vacation to Florida to see my father ended up being an extended stay for me because his situation was rapidly deteriorating. So, luckily I can work pretty much anywhere I can access woods, a post office, and a place to charge batteries. I ended up staying another 6 or 7 weeks and working in the south Florida swamps for a while. The internet connection at the hotel I was staying at sucked and between spending time with my dad and working on projects I didn't have a lot of spare time on my hands anyway. After that I had to leave Florida earlier than I wanted to because of a situation my oldest daughter had run into. So when I got home I had my hands full with that, trying to play catch up on yard work because after being gone for two months my yard looked like a jungle clearing following a series of monsoons. Plus trying to catch up financially after all of the expenses of the trip to Florida, and catch up on family time with my wife and youngest as well. Then two weeks ago my father passed away and for the last eight days I've been dealing with one hell of a round of the flu. Hopefully things will level off now and I can get back to participating in the forum.
As an aside, the BK-11 CSM that I have became a go to neck knife while I was working in the swamps so the only worry was maintaining the edge. The knife did really well at corrosion resistance which given the harshness of the environment was nice.
