The new Hiking Buddy is right at home here. I am liking the skeletonized 1/8 quite a bit. It gives the handle the fuller thickness without all the weight of the full tang, and the knife feels really good in hand. It has already hit the woods with me a few times, and it has helped around the yard here and there this autumn, the little one and I grabbed the last of the grapes for the year this past weekend...and grabbed a few apples and pears from the orchard while we were at it. Then it has gone on a couple of scouting trips with me as I try to learn more about the area before rifle season opens next month.








The dyed maple blends in well

You can see the patina starting to develop, service as a steak knife made a nice diagonal area at the tip.
