Ok what are your most used knives? I will list mine in a few different catagories. These don't have to be your favorite knives just what you seem to use the most.

This is easy since I have used it daily since I got it from John. All the meals are prepared with this Nessmuk and when there are a few people over they tend to comment on how great of a knife it is for food. It looks about 50 years old now but these are the last pictures I took of it.

EDC
Wenger Traveler
A gift from my brother in 1999 and a regular in my pocket. This is what I took up to the summit of MT.Whitney the first time I was there. I have carried this for years on the road and on ships.

Wenger Esquire
This is a little larger than the Victorinox Classic and is always within reach'

Hiking/Bushcraft/Backpacking
RAT Cutlery RC-3
Victorinox OHT

These two I have used the most on far away trips and here in the states. I can always rely on them and feel 100% confident in both of these knives. Desert, woods, and jungle proven!

Choppers
Tramontina
The most used machetes I own and maybe the most used in the world. Simply reliable.

Granted most don't look used,but I'm very meticulous about cleaning,polishing & oiling them after I'm done using them.

That Leatheman I've had over 20 yrs.The Firebyrd & the Leatherman have seen the most use of all of them & it shows.


Take Care,

JTR357-Got any pictures?

Most used around the house is a Mora Clipper (carbon), Spyderco Endura and Native.

Outside/woods is Scrapyard DM, Ontario RAT3 and BRKT Highland and again the Mora.
 
Sorry, no pictures, but here goes anyway...

Fixed blade: Breeden Pathfinder
Folder: Tie between Spyderco Endura 4 and SAK Farmer. Both are usually in my pocket at the same time. The Farmer is always there. E4 is used when a fixed blade is not appropriate.

Hehe, it's getting a little predictable, eh? But they're winners. I forgot to take a pic, though, of the Vic Rucksack gifted to me by Riley, it's a real winner!!

I don't blame you SAK's are the perfect do all knife, it's just a matter of us wanting to admit it.

Gossman PSKjr for small fixed/necker. This one has been EDC in my pocket since I got it. Fantastic blade. My favorite blade.

JK fat keppy for outdoor hikes/bushcrafting. Even when Im testin other blades, this one is ALWAYS in my pack or on my hip. I trust this knife to whatever may come. Its a FANTASTIC outdoors blade.

Vic Red alox farmer EDC in my pocket. This one has been everywhere with me, and is a great companion.
 
Jeez this was a pain to do on this POS computer but I got it. I reall need to snap some updated pics of these.


Gossman PSKjr. Love this knife. I keep managing to remove most of the patina when I strop it though:confused:

Fat 3/16 jk keppy. This one had an awesome Patina on it, but when I sent it to my man Ban to be convexed, he satined the blade for me. No worries, it looked awesome!! Its developing a patina again though:o

Brand New

Only pic I have of the trusty red alox farmer. I have deep feelings for this one. Its been with me longer then any of my other knives.:cool:

Folders: CRKT M16 or a USGI pocket knife and the ones I carry the most often. Several SAK's, Camillus EDC or a BM Griptilian are also in the mix.

Fixed Blade: RAT RC-4 has replaced my SOG SEAL Pup in the most often used category.
 
My most used are my small blades.

J...is that the JK with a sweet convex?

I like the Red Farmer picture, better than just posing.

Yep my 3/16 JK. Looks sweet huh? Its SCARY how sharp this thing is now. Ban is a sadist.:D

Yeah, I think thats why the red farmer isnt photographed much. Its such a user that its often overlooked. I assure you it is always there though!

Nice Izulas man. I just scored me a prototype Izula of the exchange. I cant freakin wait to get it here!!:cool:
 
On the farm my Charlie May Swamp Oak, Hubertus Camper and the Bark River Mikro 2 gets a lot of use.

Backpacking it's usually the Dale Chudzinski Nessmuk or the Skookum Bush Tool.

Today I carried my Busse Game Warden most of the day except when I was using a GB Wildlife Hatchet and a tiny Hartwell hatchet to trim some limbs.
