I was doing a spot of yard work today. Clearing bush tobacco plants, bamboo vines, lantana, all sorts of weeds and vines. The Scrap Yard 1311 is a perfect light bush knife and makes very short work of clearing scrub.

HOWEVER, a big lesson learned for me today - never swap hands when you're tired! I am right handed. My right hand cramped up a little and I was feeling a bit puffed. I swapped the knife into my left hand and continued hacking and slashing. The blade glanced off something and hit my right forearm as you can see. Lucky for me it wasn't too deep, more of a fillet. Fillet of Rob. I am normally always so careful with these things and I keep them razor sharp. That'll learn me! Play with the big dog, get bit by the big dog. Respect the big dog

Anyway, on to the gore...
