Finally I found the time to go out and get some fresh air.
Brought my 711 to prepare some firewood. It performed perfect at chopping and batoning.

Here are some pics of a good day in the woods:

That is me up in a tree, looking for tinder.

After chopping and batoning a lot, I came home, and wanted to test the edge. I only cleaned the blade. No sharpening!!! This is how it treated a piece of paper

I'd say you have a good camp knife there. Nice work!


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Thanks for looking.
The 711 is truly an awesome campknife.

That retreat is in an old gravelpit, in the middle of the woods. I am trying to convince my girl, that it would be cool to spend a couple of nights out there. She is not convinced... Hey, I have a 711 for protection!! What more do you need? (The most dangerous animal in DK is the fox)

Very nice pictures and fine job on the 711. Was admiring your pics and wondering where your location was because we are in full bloom here in VA. I then noticed your in Denmark. How is the hiking and escaping the crowds to find isolation?
