Thanks Mike and G! Being on the east coast, and my family only ever running a pig farm way back in the day, I'm always interested in real "ranch work". That is very cool to know. A friend of mine just starting doing these weekend long "survival courses" and has become a whiz with using sheepsfoot blades for just about anything. I've always carried Buck drop-points or clip points but nothing more than your usual cutting food/cardboard/rope/etc.
