We when I don't have time for day hikes or overnights but I need some woods time, I go out to a state park here in Ohio. Basically I'll make a fire, play with a knife and make some coffee. Sometimes I'll e joy a KitKat or a cigar with said coffee.

Yesterday I hit a five mile day hike I will admit, it wore me out. So today I decided to take the JK Nessmuk out to see how it performs. Basically just fire making duty (with is 90% of what my knives do I guess). Here are some pics.

This is the kit I brought. In addition to the JK I brought a small saw and a BHK bushcrafter.



First some shavings. All of the wood was wet and really not ideal. Most of the shavings were made by the JK. The JK actually excelled in this. It really surprised me how well I ripped through wood. There would eventually be a ton more shavings




Not really an action shot but I used the JK's 90 degree spine to strike a ferro rod.



Batonned a few pieces of wet wood and set my little tripod up.





And a glamor shot to end it



JK Nessmuk is a great piece. I will be taking this one out again soon.

At the moment, I have so many knives and so many that I've never used that I'm going out daily and using them in an attempt to cull the herd a bit. The BHK bushcrafter might not make the cut but I'll be keeping the muk.
 
Thanks for posting photos from your outing with the new JK. I'm looking forward to Fall and similar adventures. A fire by the river with a cigar and a beer is hard to beat!

Great photos and cool blade. I enjoy these little get outs and pics by people sharing their adventures.
 
very cool, JK's really do excel with woodwork

thanks for sharing, it's about as close to woods time as I've been able to get for a while, all homebound and stuff :( really enjoyed living vicariously through the pictures







Next time try some tea though, put's hair on your chest ;)

 
Nice pictures, Luke.

Cool little tripod setup.

I always like seeing the polished micarta on knives, but John has pointed out to me more than once that polishing the handle makes it slippery, and I found that out.

Your 'Muk us beautiful with the maple burl.

Thanks for the pictures.

best
