Well we had 10 or so inches of snow about a week back, last night it was warm and raining so the snow left and we have a nice muddy playground left! Illinois winters are so random and can change at anytime. Today is rain then possible ice!

This is why I love stainless steel! Here's a few shots of yesterday's mud/rain/fog Randall playtime!

Modified grip for choking up! Love the choil sometimes!


Split up some nice dead standing seasoned cherry!


Stainless stays fairly clean!



Proper lanyard use for most situations!

Cold rain! The snap is a replacement as the stock one got loose somehow.

Love seein' a Randall in action!

Been so cold we can walk on the river

Ben, it seems you had a great time out there with your #5-6! Thanks for posting and continue to enjoy that wonderful outdoor tool

I'm lucky, I get to play with Randall's outdoors 2-3 days a week!

Tomorrow wind chill is going to be -30!

I was tired of trying to find a used #5-4" so here is my #5-4" that I got made up (old style) from some two-tone brown Micarat.

looks good! gona be a user?

Right now the #5-4" is a inside user, not an outside one (yet). I'm having too much fun right now with this #19 standard from back in the day. It already has scratches and character so I don't mind if it gets more. I can't believe how fast apples stain carbon steel.

carbon stains within seconds. no matter, its just character!
