I am impressed with infi. The meaner was on my short list to carry along with a machete down into the Altamaha River swamps to the "secret" Indian mounds. The Bark River cut so well, I though I'd take it, but now I've got a wicked new edge on the meaner. I'm quite sure it is up to any task a small knife could do. I'll test it again soon. I'll have the machete for any chopping chores. Things used to be easier when I had a wife to handle the kids and help with the household chores. I will get away one day soon, though. I just need to let my wound heal first. The doc cut a pretty big chunk out of my arm. OOOh survivor man is in Altamaha on TV right NOW!
