We went out to breakfast this morning and during normal conversation she said "I figured since it was nice you would go for a walk in the woods."

And that is what I did...! Went to a trail that is no too far from my house... then veered off to "my spot".

I picked this knife up a year ago and never used it. Its the EWOK (Essential Work and Outdoors Knife) it's 6" oal, 2 1/2" blade, and 1/8" thick. Even though this knife is small it did great batoning through the hardwood to make my one stick fire. This knife might actually be over built, for some reason I have been wanting a really thin knife lately.

I also took my orange Wilderness SAK... I'm really liking this knife! I made my shavings with this knife and found it was very comfortable. It's thin and doesn't have the key chain attachment nub that sticks into my hand like on the Farmer (my other favorite SAK... I keep one in my pack).

Here are the pics... it was windy and I'm not sure the status of "open fires" where I was hanging out so I cut the fire short and fired up my stove to make a cup of hot coffee. Enjoy...!

Looks like a great day. I love the EWOK. It is my first choice when I grab for a fixed blade. It is a lot like my Dachshund, it doesn't have any clue as to how small it is.
 
I like my 1/8" EWOK too. Probably my favorite JK. Also, the book is pretty good, but haven't finished it yet.
 
Hi ohski -

Very cool!

Your Wilderness matches up with the EWOK pretty good.

I wanted one of those special edition SAK's, but I did not pull the trigger on it when I had a chance.

Thanks for the pictures -

best regards -

Not sure if the website is up to date but it looks like Tim over at FelineVetShop still has one. He also has a black Farmer, unless I pull the trigger on it tonight.

My ewok is one of my favs. Never gonna get rid of it! Tough, sharp, and easy to carry. I recommend it!!!
 
I had forgot all about that EWOK, it`s the only orange one out there. The EWOK is a funny knife, you either love it or you hate it. Have not sold one in quite a while.
 
I'd have to bet that the EWOK get's used and travels more than any other knife you've made. It carries so easily and is just a perfect size. Mine gets used daily and has been around this country many times.

Almost got one but went with the anniversary EDC. It's my primary carry. The EWOK is a neat one however.
