Whatever you use the most(knife, axe, machete, etc) when hiking/camping
post a pic. For me it's the CS trail hawk though I need to give my gb a little more love.

This should be good. I love to see well used knives. I've got a few but it's hard to actually use just one all the time.

Hard to really pin down a "most used". I've recently posted a few of my favorite choppers, so here are the three "smaller" knives that I most frequently cycle in and out of my hiking rotation.

Bark River - Colonial Patch

Wow that's a tough call as I like to rotate all my knives.

Through the Winter months my Chopweiler gets used daily...

I'd say my Booshway gets taken out the most, year round...

I am partial to the Scrapper 5's;

Or to the ML Kephart/ML Nessmuk;

I carry the S5's when I want an indestructible knife. I carry the ML's when I want a traditional knife. The ML's are my sentimental favorites but I don't like to baton and such with elk antler grips. The S5's are just indestructible.

Well with a couple hundred knives and life with 2 kids under 5 it is hard to use one more than others as I want rotation. I have to go back to before buying knives became a regular thing and look at how long I used each. This kukri wins out in the end:

The wharncliffe whittler by GEC is currently my most used knife, and it worked very well for me hunting for four days in the bush last fall. It earned a place with me next year as well, maybe not every trip but some of them for sure. I'm sad I never got to see how it would work on deer, all I saw were moose! It is in my scrubs every day getting a thorough workout cutting such hard use items as steak, grapefruit, my cuticles and the hard ends of my fingertips!

Well, I thought I would post a pic up of my Mark Wolwhend small scandi type knife.
I have had it about a month, and it is a great little knife.
This is it with a little kydex neck sheathe I made for it.
Sorry it is a picture of it in my house and not it out in the bush.
( and the crappy cellphone picture.)

My Becker necker gets used every day. At first I wasn't fond if the handle, but the more I use it the more I really appreciate this stout little blade
