Title: You can do just about anything with a Leatherman
Post by: handcannon on March 15, 2011, 07:12:51 PM

Got bored and decided to whittle me another striker. I am offshore on a drilling rig so wood is not something you have redily available along with wood working tools. I've done a few with a pocket knife before and done this one with my new leatherman, stippling and all. I guess it would come in handy if you ever had to go into survival mode when you lost your last striker in the woods. I did have some Tru-Oil out here I brought a while back for stuff like this. Guess I need to find something now to whittle me out a pot call. BTW, two of the other strikers I've whittled from this same wood stay in my vest and are usually my go to strikers. Wish I knew what type of wood it is.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments. When you work for 12 hours and then off for 12 with nothing to do, it helps to pass the time a little. I miss out on callmaking for a month and something like this just helps keep the insanity of being away from home to a tolerable level. Working here in Brazil you never know what kind of wood your working with or what you may find next.
