Started to do this but was in a hurry and ended up doing a Swedish torch instead..this method is a different version of the same and would work in the woods if you were in a pinch or just love working wood....someone just reminded me about it and i will probably do it this weekend and use it in the firepit to brew some coffee and if you let it burn to embers- biscuits..also on second thought you might want to tie it in two places if you plan on using it for awhile because once the fire hits the boundary of the wire the wood under it will collapse..the swedish torch is much more stable..but it will be fun to try out

just buying..(a) 2lb Hudson Bay Sport Utility Axe w/18" curved handle

worked one the other day just to get a feel..and i liked it- also bought a waterstone 400/1000 from Amazon. I have a Japanese waterstone but it's for knife sharpening

Just picked up a Le Duck neck knife. The sheath has a unique locking system that takes a bit to get used to but not bad. Nice blade shape, light. The one drawback is when grabbing it from sheath I can't get a full grip on it..i've not used it yet, this is just my first impression.

Check it out.
Blade: 2.5" / 6.4cm
Overall: 6.25" / 16.0cm
Handle: Rubberized TPR
Sheath: Polyproylene
Lanyard: Black 550 Paracord
Weight: 3.0oz / 85g

And what pray tell does one do with a Le Duck neck knife....

I'm not one of those "outdoorsy" type butches! I don't fish, hunt, or camp..
