I already mentioned in another thread about some knife action. Lets compare three knives and this time I even included some pics. The contenders, each in the corner of the log, are the well known Mutt, which needs no introduction. Against it we have rounded up a new favorite and cousin twice removed, the Mandu. And as a surprise guest the NWA, also known as BF Forumknife.

Having the day off and my kids complaining that they can't play Xbox sounds like the perfect excuse to do some knife testing. Two simple chores: starting a fire and batoning some logs should suffice to keep them busy and out of the house.

And lets not forget the Mandu:



Feeling dirty but not tired at all:
