Choose Wisely (One Knife)

[campandtravel]

I went at least 10 years without ever touching another knife.

How'd you carry it? For me, it's too big for the pocket and I don't like belt pouches personally. Do you not mind them, or did you come up with a different solution?

Yes, seriously... A paring knife. Most useful thing ever.

The Spartan Harsey Folder is my all-time favourite knife, so I'm going with that one.

Why ? Can do anything and weights 8 oz.

I have killed a grizzly bear in Alaska. Shot it with a .375 H&H at less than 20 yards. Tracking it through the alders was spiritual.

My knife choice would be my ZT 0220. The shape of the blade would not pierce the hide when skinning the bear. Blade width would also work very well spreading salmon flavored cream cheese on my morning bagel.

If you read the bear tales series of books, one bear has been killed with a buck knife. Dude was crazy lucky or very religious or both.

In its sheath at 3:00. I feel naked without it. Been carrying a 110 everyday for almost 40 years. I’ve worn out dozens of sheaths and 2 knives.

Why

How about what? You posted pics but I didn't catch what blade that is.

I can't see what religion has to do with it but I have heard that someone killed a grizzly with a Buck 110. Not even the 119, but the 110. But I heard that the grizz was paid off by Buck, Inc. to throw the fight.

It‘s a CPK UF2 in D3V. 6“ blade. Together with tools that I would use for the Grizz

Maybe a Buck 112 variant, of some sort. Small enough to fit in my pocket, and versatile enough to do everything I need it to do.

Love my PM2 in M4 but would have to choose a fixed... So it's the SOG Pillar... 5" S35VN Canvas Micarta clip point full tang 3/16 and a good sheath... can't ask for much more for $200

He just discovered the Smatchet, so the names are needed. I'd choose this Nemo.

Probably a Carothers DEK or CRK backpacker

Oooh I just looked that up. It's nice looking. I could enjoy that as a belt knife at the ranch. Does it fatigue your hand after a lot of chopping?

No- it has a great handle design. It does not have a lanyard hole, but the signature sdfk does. Would be a great ranch knife.

Just looked them up. Nice choices!

What is that? Searching "Nemo knives" came up with lots of stuff by different brands.

 

[Richard338]

Nemo means nobody. If you look closely you'll see there is no maker's mark.

 

[campandtravel]

Nemo means nobody.

OK. It's also a model of several knives, and there's a knife maker named Nemo on another forum (based on my quick search). So are you saying the knife in that picture is not for sale? Too bad, I like the handle, although it's too big for me for most things.

PM2. Probably this one.

WTF is that drink? Looks like a mint milkshake.
