Considering a BK11

[wildmanh]

Hi guys,

I'm planning to buy some neck knives and have been really interested in the BK11. Does anyone take theres camping? If so how do you like it as a basic/backup camp knife for food prep and general cutting? Thanks,

As far as neck knives go, it is fine. I really like mine so far. KaBar version.
A few threads down, "Naked Necker".

It would be a fantastic camp knife. I plan on taking mine with me whenever I get a chance to go camping.

I have made stews and such with one. Does a nice job on Meunster cheese.

Get it, you won't regret it. I've taken mine camping, hunting, field work, etc. and I love it. I did paracord wrap the handle to give it more grip. I've already used mine to field dress a couple of hogs and have also used it for food prep. It's done the job for me just fine.

haha. If it'll field dress hogs.. It'll do anything around the campsite for sure.

Thanks guys, this is the type of information I was hoping for. Sounds like the BK11 will make a good addition to my Camp Kit/Survivial kit. Just waiting on the Tax return to get here..

The necker handled the skinning well but I'll be honest I could have done a better job with a longer, thinner blade for the deboning part. Overall I was satisfied with the knife but when the micarta scaled neckers come out I'm getting one pronto.

Thanks for that information. I apreciate that you included the part about wanting a boning knife. I plan on using the BK11 as a companion knife to something bigger.
