..so I got a Koster bushcrafter a couple of days ago and today I took it out for its paces.. ..I went down to the woods, lit myself a fire, pulled up a chunk of maple and went to town for a few hours.. ..the result:










a very rough spoon and a 3 mile walk back bleeding like a stuck pig.. ;) ..that's the 3rd bandage out of my handy dandy first aid altoids tin. ;)

..if you look at the middle finger you can see a pretty good scar from when I opened that finger and (ha ha) the finger that is now bandaged up to the bone on a job site.. ..in a way its a good thing that a) Koster's blades are sharp so it was a clean slice and b) the last time I sliced that finger open, I cut the nerves so it doesn't really hurt. ;)
 
Nice. I've always admired those knives...

Oddly enough, the last time I cut myself, it was while carving a spoon with a Mora. The only difference was I cut my middle finger, and I was sitting on the couch while carving! :o It was late at night and about 6 degrees outside...:thumbdn:
 
Glad you had a great time in the woods. Sometimes, the short trips are more fun than the long. That finger should heal nicely. Thanks for sharing!
