Giving some thought to adding another Spydie or two.
If one were to choose 3 Spyderco fixed blade knives what would they be?
Primary uses are in the woods of extreme Northern New York. Camp use, fire prep, kitchen use, hunting, and maybe even some shelter building if I get frisky. Year round often in deep snow and sub zero temps.
I typically lean toward plain edges as opposed to serrated.
I already own a Temperance 2. And it has proven to be a nice knife. So I'll add that to my list of three. I owned a used Bushcraft UK and let it go. I may grap another one of those. I lean toward the Proficient for its low maintenance properties, thinner FFG and the same great handle as the Bushcraft UK.
But I wonder about the Puukko too.
1. T2
2. Bushcraft UK
3. Proficient
3 B. Puukko??
The T2 is a great all round knife. So that holds its spot at #1 for the time being.
I really enjoyed my Bushcrafter when I had it. It was a demon in the wood. No where near as slicey as the T2. But tough and dependable. So I give it the #2 spot for now.
That is what leads me to the Proficient. In a lighter, thinner, more slicey package. Probably a little more agile in hand. Similar in purpose to the T2, but different enough to be considered.
With the Puukko being the wildcard. Haven't really considered that knife until very recently. I have had a couple of traditional Puukkos and I wonder if I would warm to Spyderco's adaptation of them.
Question on the Puukko? Is the blade Rhombic in cross section?
Please feel free to add your comments and suggestions. But think of the woods, camp, outdoors parameters. Although I must admit I like the looks of Spyderco's remake of Al Mars Swoopy foghting knife. Just don't really need a fighter.
