Great review buddy ! Love that Koyote knife, I borrowed a pass-a-round one a while back. I did have a pic of it next to my old Bandicoot but can't find find it now ! ![[Linked Image from i129.photobucket.com]](http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/denaleeguy/P7290004.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i129.photobucket.com]](http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/denaleeguy/P7270006.jpg) The man can make a work knife!

RN-How do you compare the Swamp Warden and the Izula? I have a SW pre-ordered and will hopefully get a SAR3, but have never held the Izula. Also if the Yard ever make a Scrap Warden I WILL buy some of those <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Don't have one to compare it with, but did see a photo recently, the handle was longer on the Swamp Rat...I'm sure someone here has both and can comment!

As for neckers, I've seen Mag post favorably about the Boker Plus CLB Edit. Lots of people like the knife, but wish they'd put a bit more effort in on the sheath. Still, for about $35, it's worth looking into.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Good to see a BandiCoot in comparison. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The chief cause of unhappiness and failure is trading what you want most in life for what you want at the moment.

I have found I can't do fuzz sticks with a Mora nearly as easily as with an RC3, or Blindhorse Bushcraft either. I think it is the difference in grind.
Be prepared.......It is more than a motto it is a way of life.

That's strange to hear buddy !Scandi grinds, especially thin ones like a Mora,just eat wood ! Maybe it's just cos ya more used to a traditional grind eh ?

I guess it's a matter of practice...I have been struggling with the Gunny, but got out later yesturday and made some awesome curls. With the Mora, it just ate the wood making the stakes, but when I tried for the fuzz sticks, I couldn't control the angle in entered the wood and the blade just plunged in and threw chunks!
It certainly processed the wood fast though and it would quickly give me a pile of small stuff to burn no problem. Figure some more time with the blade will be helpful for me...
