While at work I got to thonking about that game we like what 10 knives would you live with the rest of you life? Only 10 and im counting kitchen knives and multiple cause im mean. Axes, saw, machetes, and other tools with edges are excluded. Here's my 10

3would be a shun premier chefs knife
4 shun premier pairing
5 ESEE 6
6 Vic cadet
7 case Sodbuster
8 ffg delica in orange

If I could only have 10 I would shoot myself! :eek:

Seriously, I gave this some thought already and narrowed it down.
1. G10 Dragonfly (must have)
2. Victorinox Alox Cadet or Tinker
3. Spyderco Paramilitary 2
4. Benchmade Mini Griptillian Ritter RSK
5. Kershaw Diskin Hunter or Fallkniven F1
6. Outdoor Edge Wedge (or maybe an Izula instead. The Wedge is easier to carry and very capable)
7. Gerber Bear Grylls Hatchet (the only thing from Gerber worth a hoot and can be used as a knife if need be) or some other light hatchet
8. Kershaw Skinner
9. Spyderco G10 Manbug (for small tasks) or Case Medium CV Stockman
10. Benchmade Lone Wolf Mini Landslide (for salt water)
 
Trying to stick with what I already have:

Fiskars Pro Splitting Ax
Felco folding saw
14" Tramontina machete

Kanetsugu Pro M Gyuto
Tojiro Shirogami 120mm petty
Rober Herder Paring knife

Leatherman Wave
Spyderco South Fork
Spyderco Paramilitary 2
ESEE Izula

(I know you said axes, etc are excluded, but this made it tougher.)

10? I don't have a list, but I lived for many years with only one or two knives available for my use other than in the kitchen. I have more now, but I could easily return to a couple knives. There was another thread here with the subject being "what three knives would you replace first if you lost all of them?" presumably to fire, theft or perhaps a boating accident. I chose essentially my faithful SAK, a Delica, and a 4-5" fixed blade. I could easily dump the fixed blade in favor of a good slip joint such as the GEC #42 (Missouri Trapper) or a sligntly smaller trapper pattern slippie as being replaced first and this echos my general preferences based on common usage with knives in general. Kitchen knives are another matter and I guess I'd have to decide between paring knives and regular silverware (knives, forks, and spoons or the knife part). But I generally only use two or three knives in the kitchen with any regularity.

eb1118, I guess you don't use paring knives or other knives in the kitchen. I could develop a list that excludes kitchen knives. I don't own any expensive kitchen cutlery, just Case, Chicago Cutlery, Victorniox, Faberware, and a few other brands. I don't really like using non-kitchen knives in the kitchen (food) unless I'm just playing around.

Whoa big fella. Let's not get too specific. Not like this is a knife site or anything. :D
 
Note: I don't own all of these yet, but here's my list.

1. Buck 110
2. Leatherman Wave
3. ZT 566.
4. ZT 550
5. ZT 560
6. Spyderco PM2
7. Camillus WWII-era TL-29
8. Benchmade Adamas
9. Ka Bar USMC
10. Tops Surv Tac 7
 
From what i own right now.

Benchmade- 275,810,Volli
Becker-BK2,BK24
Coldsteel- Holdout 1, Recon 1
DPX HEST
Lone Wolf Trask
Buck Ron Hood Punk

There's others I'd probably like to have instead but don't have the money for. These are all going to blades i will keep. FOREVER.
 
Excluding kitchen knives and knives I own, (1) Vic SAK Adventurer, (2) Vic SAK One handed Trekker, (3) GEC Missouri Trapper, (4) Northwoods Madison Barlow, (5) ZT 0770CF, (6) Kabar Becker BK-16, (7) Dozier Professional Guides Knife, (8) Blackjack 125, (9) Spyderco Delica, and (10) Dozier K-36 Companion. My Condor machetes and short machetes would handle the chopping chores.

Interesting that no one has included a BK-9 on their list. Some BK-2's made the list.
 
Lessee...ten is usually more than I get for these kind of threads. One through for is Vic Pioneer, Huntsman, Classic, and Bantam. Then Buck 303, Case Trapper, Mora Classic 2, Opinel #8, ESEE 6, and a yellow Pacific Salt.
 
Here goes! This is going to be tough but I will try! These are the ones I would keep to be used. It would be different if it was the ones I were collecting. If no certain order here they are.

Alan Davis Custom Tactical Sodbuster I call my Sod-Tac
Alan Davis Custom Framelock
Alan Davis Custom Pocket Fixed blade
Andrew Demko Custom AD10
Rick Hinderer XM18 3 inch non flipper
Benchmade 940
Benchmade 730
David Boye Cobalt folder
Victorinox or Wenger Evo Grip
Spyderco Lady Bug 3

WOW, Now that this is done I can rest my mind for a little while!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
