General Camp Knife?

Fallkniven S-1 Perfect tough as nails!

But there are lots of good choices..my preference is Fallkniven.
 
Of the ones I own it would be either the BRKT Bravo-1 or Fallkniven F1. I like the RAT's also, but don't have one........yet.

Got mine too. Great pic to show the differences as well as the lazy, I mean really cute dog.:D
How can you top the Pathfinder though? I think you nailed the all around knife with that one. :thumbup:
 
I like RAT Cutlery ,RC4 it comes with a great sheath excellent warranty made in the USA and it's a great knife now keep in mine it is a coated 1095 steel,excellent grade of steel but uncoated portion of the steel will rust if not taken care of,next up would be a Fox river from BRK&T,A2 steel ,uncoated blade and good leather sheath,& Becker BK2 but again coated blade and built like a tank ,both RC4 & BK2 come with a sheath that can be mounted left or right ,being I am a lefty works great, BRK&T mainly come with Righty leather pants. whether you choose RC4/BK2 or BRK&T fox river anyone will do the job without fail .Mainly boils down to do I want a knife with or without Coating ?

Dang, I thought I was going to be able to promote my favorite camp knife since 1974. Back then, we didn't chop wood or baton with a knife. I guess times have changed. :D

Buck 105 description: "Classic, all-purpose, heavy-duty knife. Perfect for general outdoor use." :thumbup:
 
I like that Buck 105. I have a couple myself. The JK Kephart is a good one too.

I do not get to spend as much time outdoors as I would like. When I do get to go out, I take the time to bring along some gear to test out. I started with a 4 inch fixed blade (my Wally World special). What I learned was that the blade size was not practical for what I wanted to do, which is harvest wood for a campfire and general camping chores, i.e. rope cutting, whittling, making poles for a shelter.

I next tried a Gerber Gator pocket ax. The whole this is 8 inches long, weighs a pound, carries on my belt and has a 3 inch cutting surface. Bingo! I can not only harvest fire wood by chopping, I can baton with it, cut with it, scrape with it, dig with it, pry with it and generally any rough use I care to put it through. I can hold it like an ulu and make kindling. I can use the back part as a hammer. The more I use it, the more uses I find for it.

I understand that some guys even field dress game with it, although I have not tried that. I carry a small honing rod to keep the edge sharp. For fine work, I carry a SAK huntsman. I used to carry a pruning saw as well, but I am finding that with practice, the hatchett and SAK saw get the job done. I also carry a buck 110, but find that I use that the least after my pocket ax and SAK. I am thinking about adding an opinel folding saw.

I guess the point is to list all your applications and then find the tools that work best for you.
