Well last night I did do some more of the same stuff.

I honestly have no idea why the FBM is so good at cutting wood. Using the choil with one hand I could easily get both thick or thin slices very easily. Though, I used two hands most of the time.

Ok, here we go again.

I made some more thin shavings.

Now, let's see how this thing burns.

Hmm... quite well, all the shavings were engulfed in the flames. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Good thing two cause it was freezing outside.

Next I decided to go with the normal method of using just shavings by itself and not on the branch.

BURN!!! BABY BURN!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well, I must say, the FBM as a do-it-all knife is quite the performer. It can chop, slice, pry, destroy, strike flint, etc, etc, all pretty darn well. Just wish it wasn't so darn heavy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I would have been nice to have gotten one of the 2008 DC Version with a .25 thick inch blade and no CBT. Though, the Busse table at Blade West didn't even have any FBMs, they were all gone by the time Cloak and I got there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> .
