Posted this on one of the other forums, and got no response, so either it is boring, or no one likes any of them (can't believe that would be true).
I have been using a Buck Vanguard for a few years for any of my camping / backpacking trips. But I've gotten tired of a knife whose steel is so inferior that it needs to be sharpened all the time. So, I've decided I need to upgrade. I want to keep approximately the same length blade, so nothing less than 4 inches.
I've pretty much decided that I'm going to fulfill my backpacking knife with one of these
Al Mar SERE Operator
Benchmade Nimravus (M2 or 154CM in plain edge)
Fallkniven S1 Forest Knife
They seem to fit my requirements best:
4" to 5" blade
not too thick
full tang
decent steel (well, better than decent)
Anyone have favorites, or opinions on any of these?
