:smiling-heart-eyes Military has eluded me for a while now. I'm trying not to buy any more Knives (4 in two months already) but if the right Millie comes up, I'm on it.

Is that a fatwood stump?
Hey Woodpuppy, this is a hard old eucalypt stump probably cut in the 1950s or earlier. I guess that is the opposite of fat wood. The very hard timbers here in Australia and the warm climate make bushcraft a very different affair than the USA or northern Europe. The stump is tallow wood which has twice the density of English oak.

Interesting. Sounds like a lot of BTUs in that stump!

I highly recommend you get a military. Been carrying this almost daily since June of 2021.
I think I will eventually. Need to try one. I think my next model is the Pac Salt LC200N. It is next on my short list.

Nice! No liners to worry about hidden rust. Broke down my Endela today to clean up some rust spots. The 20CV blade was in perfect condition.

Glad I took the shot early . Ice is starting to frost , may not be able to see knife inside in the morning . I’m just extending the vivi challenge to other things this knife could encounter .

Uh oh. Oh yeah man. There is good Tupperware and Bad. If it says "Tupperware" on it, don't use it. If it is glass, don't use it. If it is thin and flimsy, ask then use it.

I've also learned that lesson the hard way! Your safest bet is to use the old lunch meat containers or my persons favorites are the ones where "cool whip" is barely legible!

As soon as one good Tupperware is used to heat up some kind of pasta with red sauce, it instantly becomes bad Tupperware.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm blessed or with another crazy gal when my significant other starts asking me detailed questions about my knives. "Well if you sharpened this S30V knife at 10 degrees per side then why did you sharpen this one at 12 degrees per side?" Like ****, none of my past acquaintances paid attention when I talked knives. Should I be worried? :squinting-tongue

Yet another skitour with the Salt... ;)
.....
Oh my gosh! We get it. You live in Heaven. 😉

In all seriousness that's gorgeous. Curious what you think of that LC200n vs VG-10 since you have had it awhile.

Man, I DO live in heaven here - could not think of any better place to be :smlling-eyes (... said it before, the Austrian board of tourism should pay me for the praising of my homecountry I constantly do here :') )

Btw.: On todays skitour I had my "medium Salt" with me... (small being the Salt 2, large Waterway) - pic below.

/ On LC vs VG10: Hard to say.

I have only 2 LC knives: The Salt 2 SE, which I actually don´t use very often - it is a perfect, superlight just in case hiking and mountaineering folder, but when I foresee cutting tasks (and be it only minor food prep) in the outdoors I bring a larger folder (Pac Salt most of the time).
And the Waterway, which I actually carry a lot less, but use a lot more.

Just intuitively and non scientificly I prefer VG10 though.
In my use it is just as rust proof as LC, and I feel like it has a bit better edge retention (again, just on a gut level).
I also could not experience that it would be less though than LC (which VG10 actually IS though, according to Larrins charts) - or could not make use of this so far (for example by trying if LC could take a steeper edge angle).
And I can´t really explain or even phrase this, but I like "better" how VG10 feels on the sharpmaker rods - in a way "harder", though actually that´s not the right term, but I can´t think of any better right now (and in English... ;) )

Image
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)
