In the spirit of the wonderful threads posted by the Kid I felt motivated today to build a nice pit for the family. Today I built a nice little in ground fire pit in the back yard. Steel bowl over 6 inches of 1 1/2 all around. And finished with a 6 Inch wall. I borrowed some stones from the front wall. I dont think anybody will notice. I have a nice great I am making to go over it for cooking. I am really excited to use it.
I did this with my pal Joe. And my new Toy from Mark G. This sweet BK 16. It really is a great little bush knife. Little under five inch blade. Grivory handles are fine for what I payed. I will do some in a few weeks.
When I left the quarry the nice couple that own it did not charge me a dollar for everything I loaded up. The favor will be returned.
Most of them were taken after the building of the pit. The camera was dead. Just had to cut some sod that we pulled up to fit around the wall and plant a little seed. Broke most the stuff by hand because there is so much out back from the Oak trees out front. 3 about 80 feet tall, about as old as the house 1890. They may be larger. The branches dont even start until the 3rd floor.
Used the Ti lock for all branch work and slicing 3/8 and under as well as the pine and cardboard to start it. I used the BK for hacking . I will say its a heck of a slicer, but the coating is grabby and hard to keep clean. However.
SUPER TOUGH>
I used it for chopping, slicing and even set up a little target. I can throw it really well at about 7 feet and ok at about 14. I like having the skill and it does not do any damage.
Im pretty tired. I took the night off and decided to have a fire instead. Pretty happy about that.
Ignition Engage!
Very cool coating. Not sure what it is.
I do know the 1095 steel was thrashed on and I had no chipping on the 56-58 heat treat. It held up well. But I used the sharpmaker to bring it back after. Took about 5 minutes with that and the strop.
