NE Ohio Busse Boys Chop-In and Hot Dog Roast

Gotta love the Spyderco Swick.

The BRK&T Golok looks skinny weird in comparison to the Busse blades.

The BRKT actually outchopped some much larger knives because of it's thin edge. Same story with the Ruck. I'll have some stuff posted later tonight.
 
OK, I finally got my lazy azz around to posting pics. Thanks to forager and cjpgeyer for getting pics up, and Vivi for the vid.

We had our best turn out ever. Don’t know if that was due to the free food or the Killa Zilla. :rolleyes:

No matter, a good time was had by all.

Obligatory collection shots.

I scored a Burt Foster Blue Collar Camp Knife at Blade. Forged 1095 with a very cool hamon.

rtiger2 taking a tree down with my Ruck. It’s been modded with my ghetto satin and a thinner edge. As was noted above, this and the M9LE were a big hit. If the Rodent Waki is anything like this Ruck, there will be a whole lot of happy people.

This was no sapling; Vivi took out the stump in that video above.

Our clearing get’s a little bigger each time. We set the fresh cut wood off the ground, it will be ready to section, split and burn for next time.

Clean up time at home. I think I have too many choppers. :p

We have plans for two more events this year. My neighbor has two catalpa trees just inside his property line and I really don’t like the large leaves and funky seeds pods in my yard so he agreed to let me take down the tress. I plan to invite over the Ohio Busse Boys for a tree cutting party, and will pay for their services with pulled pork and beer. Then, in fall, we will head back out to our clearing in the woods.
 
Can you give me the pouch names on the Kifaru set up? I'm real close to ordering and like that setip. Is that the new Xray?

Sorry, not sure who's bag that is. Maybe it belongs to forager or rtiger2? Let's hope he sees your question.

What's that curly-handled machete?

That is the Condor Golok. It was sold at Blade 09, but has not been released in production yet. Horn Dog has done some nice reviews of it

Yep, that's my Kifaru Xray. On the front is the Kifaru Organizer Pocket. The two pouches on the side of the Xray are made by TAD Gear. Can't remember for sure, but I think they're the TAD Gear GPP1 and GPP2 pouches. All in foliage green.

Hope that helps.
