WOW!!!!
Now I know what 21.5" & 35oz of knife feels like, this baby is a hand full.
The Dui Chirra arrived with gold toned bolster, buttcap and tip while
all of the tools have silver bolsters, simply gorgeus.
I had to field test it immediately upon arrival and several large limbs fell
victim to the blade. One of the neighbors trees had several large branches
hanging over my fence and partially suspended by a deadfall. The first
branch was at eye level and at least 4" in diamter and fell rather quickly. My
forearm is tired at this point so I give it several minutes rest then
commenced chopping the next branch which was a little higher and 9"
in diamter, this branch pretty much wore me out by the time I finshed.
I probably overdid it a bit as I suffer from the OFG syndrome. I would have
had great difficlty with this bit of chopping with any other tool, well,
except maybe the chainsaw, but that would have been to easy.
In any event the only piece of heavy steel on my pack for hunting and
camping will now be the Dui Chirra or possibly an AK.
Does anyone know where I can get a kydex sheath made? I know, sacriligious
but I think infinately more practical for the trail.
