I would like to see what all of you are using in the outdoors.
I am using the O1 Curly Birch Enzo Trapper...

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but these do all my bushcraft chores. Well, these and an Opinal folding saw and a Wetterlings hatchet.

I have two favorite buchcraft knives.

The first is this Buck, which is like the 119 Special, except that it has a rubber handle instead of phenolic:

The other is the Victorinox Soldier. What it lacks in pure chopping ability, it makes up for with the excellent saw. The locking screwdriver, awl, phillips screwdriver, and can opener are just icing on the cake.

Typically this Becker BK11 for smaller jobs, finer work, game processing, etc. ...

It's a bit light for proper bushcraft, but will do batoning in a pinch. It's a Polar carbon blade, 3.75", mated with a handle of my own making.

I love ordering the blades from Ragweed or Thompsons, and making my own handles.

And here is a Scandi that I am making all by myself. The blade is 4 1/8 X 1 X .140. I have got it packed up and ready to send for heat treatment. It's my first Scandi made from "scratch." Note: when making blades, do not send them to heat treat with notches in the tang. It is better to just drill holes in the tang, if you want to help the epoxy grip better. Notches can cause cracking during heat treat. That's what Stacy Apelt told me.

[The following was added 5 March, 2013]:

Here is the finished product. I sold it here on bladeforums.

Blade Material: CPM154, heat treated by Texas Knifemakers' Supply.
Blade Length, Tip to Guard: 4 1/8".
Blade width: Just under 1"
Blade thickness: .14", minus a little bit for sanding.
O.A.L.: 9"
Handle materials: Micarta guard, G10 spacer, dymondwood, and stabilized mesquite.

It is "mostly scandi" because it has a narrow convex cutting edge.

this'n is a great knife i made outta an ol 1940's carbon steel file with an elk antler handle.. i made it using no power tools (which was a workout!!) the blade is 5in x 1in x 5/32, i used this knife to make this trigger fer my snare (as you can see its proped on it) this knife'll do just bout anythin you want it to, i tempered it to around 58-59, so its a lil soft but it make fer easy sharpening
