Camping companions

[kidcongo]

The perfect combo. Anything too much for the L21 Raindrop (which ain’t that much......21 is a beast) is taken care of by the Pacific.

This was my setup for my summer camping holiday. Worked out great.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that setup!

love it.

It's funny. We are going on a weekend trip to Michigan for my friend's 40th and are splitting a cabin with several folks. Part of me has been going through the multitude of knives I will "need".

I keep going back to a small khukuri that I will maybe need and that my Inkosi will handle 99% of anything that is thrown at me.

I was actually sitting at my desk yesterday thumbing open the blade. There isn't much I would "need" a fixed blade for over my Inkosi.

I have a sneaking suspicion that my large fixed blade will hang out in the trunk with the shotgun I bring "just in case" while the Inkosi handles my real needs.

Nice set of camping tools you have there!

 

[Sluggy]

Very nice ! I use a randall model 10 saltwater fisherman / utilty and small inkosi

Just waiting for my Inkosi to arrive...gonna be a nice one to carry camping

Looks like the perfect camping carry to me. I’ll be taking my Large 21, with some others, in a couple days for our 7 day trip.

Great combo as well. Never pass up a chance to use a khukuri

These look excellent in used condition. Especially the 21 with faded damascus!

I really like both knives. The 21 is a long-standing favourite with me (and most everyone). The Pacific I bought on a whim, and was surprised on what a great design it is, and how much use I get out of it.

Do you prefer the Pacific over the green beret?

 

[DBH]

Great duo. Need to add a plain edge Pacific to the field carry rotation.

excellent choices

I do not have a Green Beret, and have never held one, so I can’t honestly say. I’m trying to resist the urge to buy one, now that I know how much I love the Pacific. I find it hard to justify as they are very similar in many ways.

I choose the Pacific for the deeper choil feature so I could safely choke right up on the blade. Whether or not this is an advantage in what I’ve used it for so far (mainly processing wood) is debatable. The Green Beret also has a hint of a choil.

I really like the diamond pattern in the Pacific’s Micarta texture which is not on the Green Beret.

All that said .....the CRK fixed blades are a deal IMHO. Very competitively priced for what you get. It might be OK to own two?

 

[kidcongo]

Look at that precision CRK machining!!

Not a hint of machining marks on the blade surface. Crisp lines and perfect radiuses.

Too beautiful to use but also too beautiful not too use!
