I found this dead pine tree right near the high tide level at the back of my property. With less rain than normal for the past few years, I suspect some saltwater intrusion into the groundwater table killed the pine.



Timber!


Big Bird dropped by to see what was going on.


Even after chopping down the tree, the DFLE was still very sharp, easily slicing this palmetto stem. The new DFLE comes with a very nice edge. It is a great all-around camp knife with more reach than a Ratweiler and lighter, too. I think the old Ontario Bowie has finally been out done! Dan got this one just right. It's perfect. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
