Are you ready for your next "big camping" trip, crew? Well: If it's a few months away, you could carry your "big camp" (and trail) knife with you! The winner is (and it wasn't real close) the Randall Model #5-8", Camp & Trail". Second place goes to the #14-7 1/2", CDT, which would have worked out quite well also.
OK, Crew:
We are gonna build a Model #5-8", which is 1/4" stock and a good, big, long, heavy, ready-to-go knife! There are many possibilities here. The only thing we know for sure is that we have a great piece of Australian "Ringed Gidgee" wood to use for the handle material. How about some other ideas? Should we build it out of 01 Swedish tool steel or Stainless? Let's hear from ya'.
Best, Capt. Chris
