After a hot day at work yesterday, some friends and I went to the river for a little relaxation. Well, relaxation for me includes building a fire :p so I gathered up some firewood and built myself a little fire. I did a little bit of batoning to get some small enough kindling, and I decided to use my MBC (even though I had my NMFBM with me). I started with some small driftwood

Then moved on to some slightly larger wood after I had the fire started

After a few whacks with a baton (seen in the bottom right corner of the above pic) I had some decent sized kindling

Then I got to enjoy my small fire for a little while

All in all, the MBC did a good job on fuzz sticks and while batoning I wasn't worried about the tip at all. Granted it wasn't knotty hardwood, but it is what I had. A nice relaxing end to a long hot day at work.
 
Nice to see someone else battoning their MBC . I gave mine a little workout the other day spliting some 2 inch maple branches I had cut in lengths . Then making some feather sticks from bits of soft wood laying around . I also split about a 14" piece of 2x4 and then took one of the 2x2 peices and pointed both ends wih the MBC to see how it would handle that and how my hand would handle do it with the MBC too . It did it all much easier than I had expected and gained the title of EDC in my jean pocket every day .

I love seeing someone process wood with a knife the length of my index finger. It just reinforces what so many people say. It's not the size of the tool, it's the skill of the man using it

Nice pics sir!
 
Thanks guys, the MBC is a very handy knife. It's useful far beyond its size would indicate
 
Wish I had one. I sent a money order for one the 9th to a guy and it never made it to him? I went to post office with receipt and they said they won't do anything for 60days!!!!!! They said it might have got lost of mishandled!!! Really bummed. Even if after 60 days they see it's been cashed illegally it's up to me to go to the police. I have bOught a TON of knives and never had a problem till the MBC. any way enough whining. Nice pics!
