Winching cable is a big part of my job,and everynow and then when you get complacent the winch lets you know who,s boss!!...My good friend and workmate had a momentary lapse of respect and got bit..Normally you tear the offending bits of loose flesh off as soon as it happens,but not so on this occasion....6 hours and several bourbons later it was agreed that i would do the cutting while he held the loose skin up,as he couldnt do it by himself...Id given him the 80,s jigged bone Schrade Trapper not 2 weeks prior and he absolutely loves it....So without further ado,out with the spey blade,up with the fleshy bit and slice!!...all over!!.....He did mutter something like? (I THINK YOU TOOK TOO MUCH!!!)....A quick count up revealed he still had 10 fingers attatched ,but i did waiver the standard call out fee as we are living in the same house.....All in all a great result and those hollow ground blades sure do slice well!!!...........p.s beware the winch!.......................FES
