I went for a little walk yesterday, as the thunderclouds rolled into my neck of the northeast, I slapped on some BENS 98% deet and started out to my local Beaver dam...I brought my BUSSE friends. I took my .175 stripped Gamewarden in its new necker sheath by Gravelface. He makes one heck of a sheath by the way. I also brought my new combat grade SARSQUATCH. I had just stripped it and stropped the convex grind to razor goodness, so I wanted to give it a good beat down. I found an old pine stump, and dug for some fatwood. I destroyed the stump with a little baton action..some sweat, and a big grin! I love this knife, it fills my hand nicely, and is tough as nails!
It sharpened up nicely..this is no suprise, INFI seems to do that:thumbup: Overall, I give it a 10 out of 10! I love the feel, the weight, the size...its a great camp knife, and it is INFI..it might just beat out my ASH as my go to blade...and thats saying alot!!!
I should note that I have been carrying my .140 Gamewarden as my EDC and I wanted to give this little .175 a run..I like that its a bit thicker, I feel like I could bite a bit harder when carving. I have to work on my .140 super thin edge quite often, as I whittle with it everyday. I think that they are both equal..but the .175 is obviously a bit tougher.
OH! by the way..the FATWOOD turned out to just be WETWOOD
It stunk and looked promising, but I couldnt get it to light...whats the deal? I know that its hard to find here in the northeast..but, is there a better place to find it..as far as local. this stump was bordering some wetlands...is it better to harvest on highground??
