No, actually I had been trimming the wiring sheath in preparation for recovering but you are right an SAK has a fine awl for drilling.

Classy little blade. A blade like this or an Victorinox tool are perfect for some trout or game work.

Glad you enjoy Yellowstone. I used to live near the north entrance of the park in the early 2000's. Theres so many other places to go see around the park boundary in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.

Cool product suite. Agree on the fuel in the burner. After use and cooled down I fill and seal mine to be ready to go for the next use. No mucking about.
@waterbourne9282 Ай бұрын
Enjoyed the unvarnished and straight talk. Had to go watch your 4DS Bushcooker 2 one to find out what you used the Trangia burner in.
@JohnDunster-lf8sv Ай бұрын
The wings on the adapter are so the isobutane can sits in the correction position if its on its side. Those cans are deigned only to work in one orientation if on their side and are often marked with an orientation arrow. Its so they feed only gas not liquid or worse still a coughing mixture of the two. The wrong orientation with give stutters and flair-ups. Having a preheater tube, as your Trangia gas burner does, also helps if the isobutane can is putting out an incorrect mix. BTW I use a similar Trangia 25 set-up but with the Chinese clone burner and isobutane.

Love/hate with the BK9. I think it really was a stupid idea to skeletonize the handle stock. Makes zero sense to make a hard use tool weaker by removing structural material (even in the handle). I have seen the BK9 break at that weak point, that's why. I e-mailed Kabar to see if they would consider a non-skeletonized version. They said no plans. You would think that it would actually be cheaper to produce by skipping that step of removing metal. It's a good knife. Would I trust my life on it, no.
@fadingmargins Ай бұрын
I have to be honest I cannot imagine what you would have to do to break a BK9. Do you think there was perhaps a fault in the particular knife?
@Ruger44Redhawk Ай бұрын
@fadingmargins I think the guy was batoning it which, again, is abuse of a knife in my opinion. I never do that. Use an axe for that intended purpose. So I think he hit the handle and it broke. There is fire wood all over the forest floor to burn so batoning is absolutely pointless to me.
@fadingmargins Ай бұрын
He must have really hit it, but even so it sounds like a warranty claim to me. I am 100% with you on batoning. Small kindling production aside

Back in the early 1070s I bought a folded steel knife like that on a fishing trip up in the Adirondak's of NYS. iirc it was called an Uncle Wiggly. Handy little knife but I considered it a cheap tackle box knife compared to all the nicer folders out there. I've no idea what ever happened to it and now wish I still had it.

Scissors are definitely the right tool for cutting threads and other fine work. I prefer the little scissors on the 58mm keychain SAKs. And then I add something else as my "actual knife".

I'm a big fan of the small Compact. I've never had it let me down....on those days I choose to carry it...and I think it would get me through 9 out of 10 days wandering about town. Although....I do wish it had an awl. With an awl, the Compact would become a fast favorite EDC.
