Steve -- I saw that saw....  :D 

I don't think it fits the Paratool, unfortunately.  Let me know if I'm wrong.....that would be great.  :tu:

I'm pretty sure it will work. I think their tools are all interchangeable at least the used to be. I used one in a Gerber MP and Poncho used one in a PST both with minor modifications.

How do you like it? I assume it's more efficient than a normal one.

No use today. This month has gone very quickly and I'm happy that you all convinced me to buy the Buck 110.  It's a great carry and a comfortable and functional knife despite it's size which had me worried at first.

Fool's Day 28:

A nice cool day here. T'was windy, but sunny. Seemed like a great day for some trail time.


(Image removed from quote.)


I was fairly amazed to see that most of the snow has melted off already. The peaks were still white, and there were places on the trail where it was a bit icy. Here and there small pockets of snow still linger in the shade.


(Image removed from quote.)


I saw lots of insect life, even grass hoppers. Keep in mind that it still getting below freezing at night. With the insects, I saw a lot of bird activity: Chickadees, Crows, Robins, and even a few Bluebirds. The first Bluebirds of Spring!

Some nice wild flowers growing out of some rocks. Tough little beasties:


(Image removed from quote.)



Also spotted some recent predator scat and clumps of Elk scat like this:


(Image removed from quote.)



As previously stated, it was a windy and cool day. I set up my Esbit stove in a shallow dish formed by a fallen tree's roots. Added a few rocks for a wind break. The flame still guttered a bit, but the little Esbit got my water boiling and ready for me tea. I used the 110 to carve some twigs down to size to add on top of the fuel tab. I find that a few twigs help the Esbit fuel tab catch fire and adds to the net BTU output of the stove.


(Image removed from quote.)


Lunch was half an energy bar, a packet of nuts, and half a packet of jerky.

While pulling my gear together, I rummaged around and found the nuts (2014) and jerky (2013) in a zip lock bag in a fishing vest. I think I stashed them there to use for lunch on a fishing trip....seven years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find that both jerky and nuts were still in tip top shape.


View from the lunch room:

Wow, great backyard! Reminds me of the old westerns I used to watch on saturdays' afternoons.

110 attended hotpot dinner tonight, since most food came in packages, so not a lot of food prep, but a good amount of unwrapping.

Wish my food prep pics looked that good.

No uses came up yet for my 110 today.
Well... there was that moment when I removed some dead skin from a finger with it, which made me feel a bit like Crocodile Dundee  :D

It was standing by at some bike maintenance too...

(Image removed from quote.)

Nah, Crocodile Dundee would've remove the whole finger...

Nix, thanks again for another great challenge buddy!  Thanks everyone for a great time with a really great knife.  It's hard to believe that it's pushing 60 years since it first rolled out.  It's even more incredible how well rounded a knife this one is.  While I don't EDC it outside of our challenge, I could and be very happy doing so. I could definitely do so working in the kitchen!

Day 30

So this is it

I totally love 110 and it’ll surely be my favorite dedicated folder for years to come, many years - those things seem virtually indestructible

The only thing I wish was different for me (and I guess most would agree) is so there won’t be any lockdowns and I could use the knife where it’s supposed to be - out there in the woods or on a hike

Gave my 110 a nice touch up and will be switching back to my most beloved of all time - a Work Champ

Dream. Wish. Leave nothing undone. Repeat.
