Very nice Hess WillA small fixed blade, one that will go in a topcoat pocket is a real gem. Entirely versatile, you can accomplish all kind of tasks on a day hike, easily and safely (it won't close on you, yeah I know, you must use a slip joint 'properly' but fatigue or poor light can ambush you...) Those Fiddleback Forges are very enticing but getting hold of one is like joining a cult or Masonic Lodge
I like this Hess Knifeworks Small Caper, they make a very tidy knife at reasonable cost. Another small favourite is Bark River's Pro Scalpel but it's likely out of production.

Finally got my days straight with a Tidioute. Lambsfoot gets jealous if not carried most of all.
If you ever go a day without a lambsfoot I’ll know something wrong has happened. Nice pairing!Cool pic Joshua
