I just saw the Ursus Cub being available- it looks like a great all-around knife at a very fair price. I love the MagnaCut blades I have.Hi All,
I am new to the whole Knife thing...and to be honest I don't think I will be a huge knife collector. Hence I need some help finding a great small allrounder knife that I can have for a longer time and use in the outdoors.
Bit of a background (maybe it helps, who knows).
I'm a female with medium sized hands (not small, fine hands but medium stronger hands). I like to hike, canoe and on occasion go camping. I'm not a bushcrafter so I won't be doing a whole lot of batoning, splitting and carving out a whole table set of spoons(only when I go camping sometimes, and I carry a laplander saw and Mora Knife or a Brisa Tra pper 95 as backup).
I'm looking for a smaller knife that I can scout carry. Something I can mainly use on my hiking and canoeing trip. Something that is light, small, inconspicuous and I can use on food prep, light feathersticking and cutting jobs. I have this idea in my head that I also would like a knife that has a sharp spine so I can create a fire with it (ferro rod) however I think its more of a ideal picture or heads in the clouds type of thing. I might get a kydex sheath and carry a rod and striker on it - would that make sense? What type of handle should I pick- micarta or G10.
So my list that I have narrowed down and researching are:
I would appreciate any input or help I can get. Where I live I can't get access to these knives to look at and handle beforehand.
- White River M1 (CPM S35VN Steel)
- White River Sendero Pack (CPM S35VN Steel)
- White River F3.5 (that whole firestarting galore) (CPM S35VN Steel)
- White River Ursus Cub (will be released this month: Blade length 3.5" (8.8cm), Total Length 7.6" (19.3 cm), weight 5.9oz (167gr) with CPM Magnacut steel
- Bradford Gaurdian 3.5 (either drop point or I like the Sheepsfoot blade) (either M390 or Magnacut)
- Joker Avispa (but somehow when I look at it, the handle seems really thick and fat) (14C28N Steel)
Thanks!
There is a falkniven wm1? I think. Which is supposed to be a women's knife.I know of the F1 but it's too big for me, or for what I want. However your suggestion made me check out the Fallkniven site, and I found the R2 Scout knife which has the dimensions I am looking for. It has Elmex steel...Is that a good steel, or better said is it good to use by the water?
