Continuation…
Like:
Swapped my 8mm to tether and 11mm to lineman’s like I threatened to do; man, so much better. My fingers are happier when I climb and my dump pouch and stopwatch are happier when I setup/tear down. Also, the RM1 was not really my thing on a tether but it’s A1-A on the lineman’s. Seriously, almost 5 years in the saddle and I just now figgered this out.
Dislike:
This pains me to say, because I really enjoy gutting deer with it, but I’m starting to get exhausted by my Outdoor Edge Flip ‘n Zip. It’s hella sharp, easy to resharpen, packs great, works easily…but it is a major PITA to clean. I have gutted three FAT deer (like literally fat, filled with white gobs and grease) and cleaning that crap out of the hinge and inner channels of the handle makes me question my sanity. I love the zipper blade portion especially, but I may try a set of OE fixed blades instead.
