Grathrs OBOC thread

Day 1-3:
forgot about the whole thing
:facepalm:

Day4:
Finally connected all the dots and understood why there where so many new Off brand October challenge threads....

Here is my tool of choice:


A SAKalike made in solingen.
Its a good quality tool, but not quite on par with Victorinox.

The first thing that I had to do with it was sharpen the blade. A few swipes over a Fallkniven CH4 stone, and it was ready to go.

Day 7:
Used the Sol to practise a little fire making.
I used the awl to scrape magnesium and to light the fire.
The kindling is washdryer lint.
It worked great, and took me less than a minute.

Oh, Grathr. I feel SO bad that you're stuck with this terrible tool that I would... out of the utter KINDNESS of my heart, trade my exquisite Coghlan's 7-Function Army Knife for this wretched thing you're stuck with. :D

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that this isn't going to work, but hey, never hurts to try.  :whistle:

So is that a black oxide tool, or did they shell out the big bucks for DLC coating?

Oh, Im suffering big time here. Its horrible to be stuck with this nice tool of good quality, with functioning implements. And worst of all, it actually looks good too!
But I have bonded with this tool, so I can not trade it. :D

Day 8:
Some minor cutting tasks and tightening a few screws with the phillips and bottle opener.
I also made this very primitive mask for the Axe King hawk. Sol's blade did the cutting, and the awl made the holes.

I spent the weekend canoing with a buddy. I had the Sol with me the whole time, but it did not see much use. The hawk saw plenty of action cutting and prosessing firewood though.

The last couple of days, Sol has opened a few packages and attempted to loosen a couple of worn out phillips screws. It failed on the screws, but I cant blame that on the Sol. However the canopener driver on a 111mm SAK I found in a nearby cupboard, loosened them right away.

I got some cheapo emergency matches in the mail I wanted to test. So I made some small fireprep with Sol. Sol's blade has a 90 degree spine, wich I tried to use it to scrape some tinder. Bad idea. After some scraping the blade developed quite a bit of sideways bladeplay.
The matches actually worked though.
