Three knives....

[21tracker]

There are a lot of variations on the one (1) knife scenario on this forum, but none of us would ever be caught out in the woods without at least a couple knives. I guess what I want to see is what three blades you would carry into the woods, on either a survival camping trip or a real survival situation. Excuse my lack of elaboration on the situation, but I really just want to see the knives that you guys really carry in the woods and not this 1 knife stuff.

I always carry a Spyderco Endura and SAK huntsman. These two I carry all the time. Sometimes I may add a sturdy fixed blade but usually not.

 

[coaldigger]

My three are
1 - SAK soldier
2 - Buck/Stryder 889 or Spyderco Wegner
3 - BK-10
If I'm wearing my daypack I've got my CS kukri machete & gerber multi-tool also

SAK Explorer
Becker Necker
Mora (either the 780, or the stainless Clipper, depending on if I'll be near water...)

 

[Cpl Punishment]

1.) Himalayan Imports 20" Ang Khola kukri
2.) RAT-7
3.) Ka-Bar Mule

 

[mtnfolk mike]

i always have a 3-4 in. fixed blade of some sort(usually one of these in the pic) and my benchmade mini-griptillian and a SAK camper.....

 

[chabla]

most likely
1) a overall 9-3/8" Non-serrated KA-BAR Fighting/Utility knife
2) a 112 folding Buck knife
3) a simple gerber multi-tool

i bring these when im camping, fishing and hunting in the boondocks of Maine and the northeast i use the KA-BAR the most

I never enter the woods without my swamp rat hrlm and a swiss champ. When I go to the "big woods" in northern Michigan, especially the upper peninsula, I also add my swamp rat ratweiler.

 

[RescueRiley]

usually a vic farmer or leatherman wave as a multitool, a brkt mini-canadian or a fallkniven f1 as a fixed blade and a 12 inch ontario but more often now a fiskars sport axe as a chopper...

 

[Foilist]

This thread basically describes a modern "Nessmuk trio." Here are mine whenever I go camping:

1. Victorinox Swisstool or Spirit

2. BRKT Northstar

3. decent but no-name Swedish hatchet


If I were backpacking, I'd leave the hatchet and Northstar behind and replace them with a Becker BK10 and BRKT Mini Canadian.

Hey Mtnfolk Mike - must be a Gene Ingram there, third from left? EDIT: The left is the hand that makes the L, right? I mean third from the right.

I have a Lacer from him and it's my favourite knife...gorgeous flat little cutting tool.


As far as this question goes, you know what three blades I would want in a REAL survival situation?

A little slicer - the usual four inch mora is fine for this
A 3/4 size axe
A 36 inch bow saw

The only thing you'd be a little wanting on would be prying but I just don't do a whole lot of prying myself. But man if you had a good axe, a good saw, and a good knife you would be equipped for pretty near any bush work.

If you also had a good large pot, a small one, and a cup you would be on your way past survival and into vacation!

3 blades? THE LUXURY!

Of my current equipment:
----
* Victorinox One handed trekker
* Buck Nighthawk
* CS Latin Machete

RB-- that is an EDC model from rick lowe, with cherry scales.... it's great little blade...:thumbup:

 

[shipwreck]

I dont want three knives with me in the woods. my choice would be swiss army one handed trekker, becker necker and a small hatchet. If I had to give up one I would give up the necker, keep the trekker and the hatchet.

 

[JD Mandrell]

what three blades you would carry into the woods, on either a survival camping trip or a real survival situation.

On a real hardcore trip, of the ones I have here?

Hmmm.

Cattaragus 225Q for the heavy work.

Eriksson 510 for most chores.

Wenger Monarch for the "extras"!

 

[longbow50]

The SAK will always be with me and for a larger knife capable of doing the heavier woodwork, it would have to be the Becker BK-7. The third knife would have several possibilities, but there are three that are likely to be used. Becker Necker, Eriksson 2000 and the Eriksson 711.
