I think Dino may have grown attached to the knife. He used it for a couple of additional tasks before passing it on Dave (Iron Leg) yesterday. Dino's Son used it to cook up lunch on the wood stove and Dino used it to repair a fluorescent lamp he was using at a Mineral Presentation he was doing for a local University. I am interested to see what Dave uses it for around his bow shop. Two Users so far, Eight to go.

Neat idea!  And a very interesting journey!  Worthy of a commemorative photo book for each user!

I am sure Dave will find something useful to do with it, probably use the cork remover for sure. ;) :)

I like knives always browsing the flea markets, garage sales and thrift have found some really nice ones very cheap at that.  I just can't Sharpen them worth a hoot...   >:(   Hopefully I'll upload a photo or 2 soon showing some of my finds.

Being a true Bushcrafter, one of the first things Rob did was to modify the knife to include a additional function (pin). Rob is also the Cook at our Archery Club and the Ranger saved the day at today's Shoot when no sharp pencil could be located to make up a food list.

Woodley, it depends on how much you want to spend for equipment!  A Lanksy is almost foolproof and has diamond stones available.  You can get a wide variety of Arkansas hard stones, dot diamond sharpeners, etc.!  It just depends on how much work you want to put into it!  Turn on your favorite type of music, kick back, and start sharpening!  An appropriate beverage will also help!  And a big dose of patience!  It does take a while!  I think I have about 20 working knive or more!

Looks like Dave has moved up in the world Sam instead of Genny. :)

Rob used the Ranger knife for a interesting task today. He crafted a fishing lure (shrimp imitation) from a plastic straw. The lure is part of a monthly outdoors skills practice that he is part of. I am interested to see  how well it works at catching fish but knowing Rob, he will catch something with it. Rob will have the Victorinox knife for a few more days before it goes to the next user Kevin (Buffalo Gobbler).

Kevin,
You are next on the list. When it gets to you it will be at the halfway point in it's journey. Five more Users left, before the names go in a hat and one is chosen as the winner of the Red Ranger knife. Hannah is keeping a log of where it's been and what it has been used for. I will include her log with the knife when it is all over. When you get the knife, please take some pictures of it in use.
Take care,
brian
