It's spring and the weather is starting to get nice. It's time for a picnic! Whether it's a five-course spread on a comfy blanket or a hunk of salami and a chunk of cheese tucked away in a backpack, there's something special about eating a meal that you toted along with you on an outdoor adventure.

So, what's your favorite traditional knife to accompany you on a picnic, whether tucked in you picnic basket, backpack, or pocket? Have any pictures of it in action?

For me, it's been an SAK, but I've found a new contender in an Opinel No. 6 that I modified into a spear. It's super light and an amazing slicer. Here it is auditioning for the role:

I'm looking forward to seeing your favorites!

My favorite picnic knife is this 5" toothpick in ATS-34 stainless from S&M. Long enough to do a proper job on melons is a necessity.

Sardinian resloza. If it's good enough for Sardinian shepherds in the hill, it's good enough for me.

I must admit that when we bring melons on a picnic, they're usually pre-cut. But, that toothpick looks like it is more than up to the job of slicing one up in the field!

I have this one on a five mile hike and picnic with my wife and daughters.

Wow! That's a beautiful knife. I've never seen one before and I'm quite smitten with the shape of the blade. The only fixed blades I own are kitchen knives, but that one may have to go on my wish list.

Cheers,
Greg
 
Greg, I agree with black mamba that a big fish knife is a great knife for picnics. I got this 5" Rough Rider from Markesharp around Memorial Day last year, and used it through the summer for picnics or just grilling chicken on the patio behind our house. The long main blade is good for all kinds of cutting of all sizes of food, and I really appreciated the "scaler blade" with the tiny fine serrations as a meat cutter. The "hook disgorger" actually works as a little fork, too. And of course the bottle opener is an indispensable picnic tool. (I haven't actually had to do it yet, but the ruler on the serrated blade could be used to settle ugly disputes in horseshoes matches. :D)
