Goes to war on wood that is.
It chops..



It batons..



It makes kindling..

It makes curlies..

And it makes fire to burn it's nemesis..







I even managed to get it to stick in the tree a few times(out of about 30 throws <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)
before I left sunday.

While waiting for the sun to set I went down to the creek for a look see.

That was friday..

Saturday we went for a walk around the old stomping grounds up behind camp..
[img]http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/myketheknife/060-4.jpg[/img]
On the way up the hill I ran into a Nighthawk trying to lure me away from it's nest by flying a few feet & acting like it's wing was broken.
I didn't get a pic because it blended in too good & wouldn't let me get too close before flying a few more feet away.
I did find it's nest though.
They just lay their eggs on the ground.

Onward..

I took a break on this nice big log & decided to make the worlds biggest fuzz stick.
No problem for the War Dog..

On the way back to camp I found this rub tree,looks like a favorite of the deer(or elk) that left some hair behind.They must like the sap.

Found a nice turky tail feather not far from the rub.

I decided to take the long way out of the woods sunday hoping to see some wild life & got lucky.
There was a herd of elk spread all along this logged area.
They were just grazing & laying around relaxing.

In conclusion..the War Dog is a great knife.
The Res c handle is very comfy in all the grips I used.
The flared butt provides a secure 1-2 finger grip for light chopping.
The point is great for drilling/prying.
The finger guard keeps your hand from slipping down the blade.
The thickness of the blade makes kindling slivers pop off.
I even used the edge to strike the ferro rod with no ill effects.(Tried the spine first,but it's not sharp enough.)
What a knife!
It took all I threw at it & asked for more.
It's lived up to my expectations.
This baby will be with me whenever I'm in the woods for now on.
And the only sharpening I've done is a few licks on a ceramic rod to touch it up.
What a knife!!!
The best dumpster diving Dan's done yet IMO!
What a knife...oh wait,I said that already didn't I. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Ain't it purdy?

Great pics and review

Thanks for sharing

Dan

Looks like good times. I'm glad somebody got out this weekend. Most of the forests were closed in AZ due to fire hazards, besides they were having highs up to 90.
Loved the pics Myke,thanks, looks a lot like our woods.

Very nice pic and thanks for sharing.

I feel for you folks in AZ & NM.I dred the day a fire burns my woods.
There is a forest service sign down the highway that shows the fire danger level.It's low for now,so yeaaaa I get to have a camp fire.
It won't be long before it dries out here too,then the burn ban.
They haven't barred us from the woods since I've been camping here & hope they don't ever have to.

Awesome pics!! The worlds largest fuzz stick made me laugh most epic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice pics Myke!!!
I can't wait to get my WD and take it out for some beats!!!
