Having been looking at adding some tools to my collection lately, I came across alot of pretty good looking big knives/camp knives and I'd like to know what one/ones you guys use.
My take on the 'camp' knife is a bigger, thicker blade that can cut away at those annoying little tree sprouts and brambles at camp, and one that can baton and chop fire wood while leaving your the delciate woodcrafts and food duties to a smaller, thinner knifes.
So what camp knife do you favour/use and why?
I use either the Cold steel bushman or the British MOD survival knife as they are both tough and sharp. The cold steel being particularly practical in brmabley woodland as it can take a large shaft up the handleD) and be used like a scythe/machete, while still being tough enough to baton logs. The MOD knife is just a thick ol' beast, being 1/4" (6cm+) and makes easy work of batoning really fat fire wood. With a little clean up of the factory edge profile it can shave hairs and chop pretty well for a short knife.
I've shrink tubed my handle and fitted a ferro rod in the ahndle too
With this one I just sanded off the black blade coating (I can oil carbon blades..) and shrinked tubed the handle.
I'd like to collect a few more, and I have no particular interest in tactical anything so if you have any info on tradtional styled ones that would be great!
cheers :thumbup:
