It's time to do it again!

Let's get out in the woods and use those blades! Our clearing in the woods keeps getting a little bigger each year, and with the trees we dropped already we can get up a fire and burn some dogs for lunch.

Mark your calendars for Sat. Oct. 24, 10:00am. After our fun and fill of dogs, we might retire to the Winking Lizard in nearby Peninsula and enjoy their extensive beer menu.

Location is just 1/2 mile from the Rt 303 exit (Exit 12) off I-271 in Richfield. And a 1/2 mile hike to our spot. The spot has a small pond (may be fishable? bring a pole and find out!) and is right along a power line right-of-way, so we can chop down a few more trees and do them a favor.

Bring your knives, big and small, all brands, to use and abuse, and for show and tell if you have safe queens. All are welcome; Hogs, Rats, Dogs, would-be, wanna-be, lurkers and others.

Please EMAIL me for specific directions, so that I can add you to our mailing list for future events.

Who knows, maybe Skunk will fly in and show us how to cook the hot dogs. :rolleyes:

here is the thread from out last GTG, with pics and a vid of the fun. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=643802
 
Week from tomorrow. What are you bringing? I'll have a Ruck, Waki, SHBM, HHFSH, Killa Zilla, FBM, Ratweiler, and more for your chopping pleasure.

Please EMAIL for more info.
 
Pumpkin SAR-8 :eek:, NMFBM, might bring the AK again :D
Prolly a couple others :thumbup:
 
OK, so it might be a little cool and damp tomorrow.

That just means we have to build a bigger fire. :D
 
Well, we got lucky on the weather. The trail was damp walking in, but no rain on our heads. :thumbup: We were only four this time, no matter, still had a good time.

The obligatory knife pron shots. Not as many as usual. :rolleyes:

It was nice to try out the SAR8. Seems like a good all-rounder; I agree with forager that it could use a thicker scales. I had recently scored a Satin Battle Rat with a Ban edge (kinda funny actually, the factory edge on the SBR is really good). I think the SBR chops a little better than the SAR8, and feels better in hand, so that helps quell my desire for a SAR8... but they sure do look good.

The NMFBM is still the chopper king. But the Waki is just plain fun to use.

It was a little hard to get a fire going with everything so wet, but we managed to burn some dogs. from the left: forager, intel440, rtiger2.

intel's wife was kind enough to make us pasta salad, and it was really good, with Italian dressing and feta cheese. Thank You! :thumbup:

So, if you stayed away for fear of the weather, you missed a good time. We will meet for lunch over the winter, late January or February, with a knife show-and-tell. Then back to the woods in late spring. It's a great chance to try out a variety of knives, and just plain fun to hang out with fellow knife knuts, so try to join us some time.

edit to add: If you would like to get on our mailing list, for advance notice on future events, please EMAIL me.

Man that looks fun. I will really have to try and make the next one. Glad you are liking that SBR!!
 
Here's a couple more pictures.

There used to be a nice pond here but there was a failure in the dam and unfortunately it drained :mad: The leaves are pretty though :thumbup: Wonder what was in those drums :eek:
you can see our site on the right.
