Nice Magazine writeup
on: February 28, 2016, 12:36:48 AM
So today I picked up the March-April issue of Backwoodsman magazine, a publication I've been reading for almost 20 years. Lo and behold, on page 16, is an article entitled "Swiss Army Knives for Town and Country". The author almost has to be a member here, talking about sending donor knives out of the country to have a custom knife made. The article espouses the virtues of the Compact, and the Farmer as the two Do-it-all knives the author recommends. Nice to see in print, and a fun read!

It's generally news stand or subscription, but their addy is:

Backwoodsman Magazine
P.O. box 433321
Palm Coast, Fl. 32143

www.backwoodsmanmag.com

I'm relatively sure single issues are available. It's a niche, very small publication, but a very cool read.  :)

If all else fails, I can probably pick you up a copy and mail it...  Let me know.

That's an interesting magazine. I read that once in a blue moon at the supermarket while shopping.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.
