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.
 
Oh my....

(Dog seems unimpressed, but you got my attention.)

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 ?

I'm looking for a general camp knife....I'd be using it for the usual backwoods stuff: some wood chopping, batoning, rope cutting, food prep, you know, the good stuff.

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'm looking for a general camp knife. I have a SAK, but I need a larger fixed knife to supplement it. I'd be using it for the usual backwoods stuff: some wood chopping, batoning, rope cutting, food prep, you know, the good stuff.

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.
