For fruits / cooked food or something else: do you use same knife or separate one?

Hey, as I'm told by the woman. Her mother's favorite saying. "Heat it'll kill it".

sometimes, i use the fire heat on blade to kill the "bacterias" , the problem is usually the blade turns to "black" after heating on fire

Unfortunately, not always true, but usually true often enough to be okay.

For camping where I know I'm doing food prep, I carry a knife for the use (camp kitchen knife, it's never a kitchen knife though).

For hiking, backpacking, etc, I pick foods and meals that don't require much knife prep. It's not like raw meat travels well anyway. Suppose water trips are an exception as weight is less a concern and I have all the water in the world clean and sanitize stuff with boiling water.

For the more daily stuff, I have traditions with 2 or 3 blades,one is dedicated to food but never raw meats, or similarly dirty foods. I keep that blade clean but not sanitized. I also only use it for my food and not for others, unless we're out somewhere like a picnic and a cleaner option isn't available.
