For years I carried a tomahawk and a longknife whenever we went out and about. Its a hold over from my buckskinning days and are pretty good tools, both filling unique duty roles.
After purchasing my BK2 a few months ago, I've stopped carrying my tomahawk as it does just about everything I was able to do with my 'hawk, with a few obvious exceptions.
I also added an Eskabar to my walk-about kit and fell in love with the thing! Now, I've stopped carrying the longknife and 'hawk and saved myself a few pounds as well as the frustration of dealing with a 19" pole.
Without further preamble, here are my new friends!
My Eskabar with a little knot work. Now my EDC!
BK2 without the lanyard. Will make a new one after I strip the blade.
What a pair!
