Your Favorite Two for the Woods (Pics)

Today, I think its these two.

The caps just seems a bit...loud, I think is what gibsonfan is saying.
When I read it I picture it being yelled, like you are in a helicopter or you are going deaf, so it takes a bit of getting used to.
In a forum I used to frequent a while back I would post with no capitals or punctuation at all, it started out being a time saver, but ended up becoming my "thing" I was known for, so I can relate to it.

How do you like your Wegner? I recently purchased a pro-hunter lite and really, really like it. I am thinking about upgrading to the pro-hunter in the future.

I like the Pro-Hunter a LOT!! Mine is the S30V version and I've been impressed with how well the steel has held its edge and resharpened without a lot of grief after my (mis)use of the knife. Since it's my EDC "always handy right there in my pocket" knife, it handles the rough dirty jobs that arise due to lack of time (i.e. I'm too lazy to go get the proper tool ;) ) or from sloppy technique because I'm hurrying.

The profile is slim enough to be mostly unnoticed while in the pocket and I find the handle and blade shapes very ergonomic in use. I've EDC'ed it for I guess it's almost two years now and still like it a lot.

The knife that I considered replacing it with, when I had one, was the Rat Trap folder from Swamp Rat. But I sold it LNIB before I got around to carrying it. It shares many of the traits that I like on the Pro-Hunter.

... here's a couple of pics using the forward lanyard. It goes over the top of your hand under your little finger and under your thumb. The forward force of chopping makes it tighten up on the hand. It's best to wear a glove.

Scott, Thank you for the clarification.

If I understand it correctly, the strap crossing the back of the hand with entrance/exit happening at the web between thumb and index finger is the same configuration I used to use for my ice axe lanyard loops (1" or more wide tubular nylon webbing). If so, I can vouch for it being a very secure lock-up around the meaty part of the hand. I hung my life off one of those many, many times while reseating the other axe higher up on the ice.
 
You're right about that RoKJoK. The third pic is a log I chopped without ever having to re-adjust the knife handle in my hand. Very firm lock up.

I personally like the all cap locks. Easier to read for me.
Anyway moving on.
I carry one of my newly acquired CGFBM's thinned out at the edge. (Much Better)
Been using a Becker Knife and Tool Patrol Machete sheath with the FBM. Way too big.
I found out today that the FBM's do fit the Dog Father sheath so I ordered 2.
I also carry everywhere a Reeve Sebenza and a Cold Steel Vaquero Grande.

I really like that set up, but agree that it seems heavy...do you carry it on your leg or on your pack?

I haven't carried it yet - but will likely carry it on my leg. If I was doing some distance hicking, I'd put it on my pack I think. I'll let you know once I get out and use it!
 
Hollowdweller,
"Scott one I bought as a blade and did the handle myself. The details are
HERE"

That little knife you did is outstanding. I really like that. Have anymore as of recently, you'd sell?

And Gossman knives, the knife pictured on the top of page three of your gallery. What do you call that, and how much do you sell that style of knife for. Looks like a great knife.

Do you mean the one with the Spec Ops sheath? BTW, the one with the Spec Ops sheath is somewhere in Afganistan carried by one of our soldiers.

The two knives:
* Ritter steel Dusak Knife (7" 1095)
* Benchmade Activator (2" S30v)

Add a CZ-75 and a lighter and you have my minimalist woods walking kit.

The Dusak is used for chopping, battoning, and skinning. The Activator is used for detail work. Since the Dusak sees the most use, 1095s ease of sharpening is a big asset. The Activator isnt used much, so its high edge retention and corrosion resistance are most important; you dont want to spend time maintaining a knife you seldom use. Each knife is well suited to its purpose.

Normaly i would add a SPyderco Spydersaw to this, but thats not part of the "2 knives" game ;)
 
Yea, the one with the spec ops sheath. nice knife. good size, no nonsense design. i like it. whats the guy do that you sold that knife to? Did he say?

I am ashamed to post any pics, yall have some truly beautiful, functional tools, Hollowdweller that knife/sheath combo is pretty close to my idea of perfect as I have seen. Here is my 20 something year old Old Timer that gets the lions share of woods trips and is a permanent fixture in my pack.

Thats a great knife. Do you know what model it is?
 
oh yeah mr.trooper, cz75 p-01 is my favorite 9mm at any price. your compact looks sweet with those wraparounds.
 
C-Z makes a very nice handgun, my father is a Shooting instructior For the R.C.M.P and the cz 75 is his favorite weapon, and thats saying somthing, because hes fired every weapon i can think of to ask him, and says this one has the best feel and is very accurate.
