Too cold to snow?
You may have heard people say that it is "too cold to snow". However, this expression is not strictly true, as snow could fall from air of any temperature. In reality though, snow rarely falls from air that is very cold. This is because cold air cannot usually hold enough moisture for any type of precipitation. So in this way, the expression does have some truth in it.


In fact, the heaviest snowfalls occur when the temperature is at freezing point. More snow falls in a year in the southern part of Canada and the northern part of the United States than at the North Pole for exactly this reason.


We can therefore see why snow is so difficult to forecast. It snows the most when the temperature is around freezing, but a rise of just a degree or two can result in rain instead.

It's totally irregular (like many things with Busses, I'm afraid). The company store has 2 kinds of GW right now. There may be more in the near future, but probably not. The ones there are now are the basic Wardens, coating and all, and not too thick, although not the thinnest either. Personally, I like them. If you want a specific, special warden, like one of the satin finished GWs, you'll have to search for one in the secondary market.
 
High quality trio:

Valiant Large Survival Golok
Fallkniven S1
Spyderco Pacific Salt


Budget trio:

Tramontina 14" Bolo
Frosts Mora 860 Clipper
Opinel #10
 
Big knife: well if it is cold then I guess I'll have to skip my SRKW Weiler for a SYKCO S6LE because of the ResC handle.

Medium: probably my SRKW Howling Rat Gen1, same thinking as above, maybe one of my bushcraft knives but they all are full & exposed tang. Lots of choices here.

Small: Wave old style, the only one I have anyways

I don't live in the cold, so my experience is limited, I've rarely used a knife with gloves. The big knive is more of a camp knife, very useful if you go CARmping, when I hike or bike weight becomes a consideration and I carry as little gear as possible. If you are into mountain biking or climbing you start thinking in grams and you cut off the stick of your toothbrush to save weight. I would probably not carry 3 knives unless I was planning to live off the land for a long time.
 
Under the OPs' guidlines.......

Camp Tramp
Buck 110
Swiss Champ



my personal choice:

A small Axe......Gransfors Bruks small forrest axe
SWKW Bandicoot
Swiss Champ
 
Ka-bar kukri
fallkniven F1
sak alox farmer

I'd rather the GB SFAxe I just ordered in place of the ka-bar though.
 
To the OP:

All of the blade lengths in your firrst post are very close together. You could probably do most chores with every single one of those knives. you may want to spread them out a bit. Something like a 10" machete, Falkniven A1, and a Benchmade activator, or maybe a SAK instead of the activator.
