In all seriousness, the Scrap Yard Bird Dog LE is one of my favorite blades for food prep. The 154CM blade doesn't rust easily and holds an edge really well, the blade is thin and full flat grind for excellent slicing, and the rubberized mudder handles are really comfortable and don't absorb fluids.
I like that ML "deep woods butcher knife"
It looks really handy.
I have been using my JK 5" Hudson BayI agree about the ML Knife, looks like a great knife.:thumbup: I really like the looks that JK Hudson Bay knife as well. I had one of those small Swiss Army style knives before, but found that even though it had so many different little tools and whatnot, it was not really good for anything. The blades I found to be too flimsy, the tools never really worked all that well, and it was too small to do anything other than sit in my fishing box. But that's just my opinion. I like a knife than can dish out the meat so to speak.
I'll try to explain but if I come off sounding defensive, please don't take it that way.
The Vic Farmer and the peanut are the knives I carry daily. The Farmer sees most use but I carry the peanut in honor of my grandfather who found that a small two blade Case swell-center whittler was good enough to carry for probably 30 years. After carrying the peanut for so long, I can see why he liked a small unobtrusive, sharp little knife.
Second, the OP said "when in the field, car camping, backpacking, day hiking, whatever". Didn't say anything about survival. When car camping I'd probably have a half dozen knives floating around camp. A fillet knife, a mora, a Bark River woodland, a large butcher/kitchen knife, etc. I was just being honest.
Now, if the SHTF today while I'm at work, the knives I'll have with me are the Farmer, Peanut and the Mora that rides in my day/work bag.I'm not tossing one 'til ounces count.
