Trio Info

[IRON HEAD]

Hey everyone , I just wanted to ask any and everyone what they use for chopping , camp , food prep and bush work ? Not realy what brand or maker but what blade shape length and style. thanks.:thumbup:

 

[ZombaiO]

Right now I'm on a Scandinavian wave

The big chopping and splitting is covered by an 19'' axe.
The smaller chopping and batonning (wood up to 3-3,5'' in diameter) is coverd by a 8,5'' leuku.
Every other cutting task - like food prep.,whittling,making traps,cleaning fish - is covered by my 4'' puukko.

 

[SouthernCross]

Left to right: A small hatchet, 4 inch fixed blade with straight spine & plenty of belly, lockback with single blade about 2 3/4 inch long.



Kind regards
Mick

[EMT_Lee]

Here's the best trio I've come up with for my use, thus far:

Koster Bushcraft (4" scandi fixed blade), SAK Farmer, CS Trail Hawk (Polished convex edge)

 

[Noshtero]

No trios... Quatros!!!

Reeves Nessmuk Hatchet, JK Kephart, JK Pocket Kephart, GEC Tidioute Scout

 

[Noshtero]

Forget to read the actual question.

I like:
A smallish hatchet
A 4ish" fixed blade, not really picky on blade style. I've carried from Kephart to Nessmuk to Scandi
A 2-blade stout folder. I like 2-blade because one's for eating, one's for chores.

I mostly use a "duo" of a Himalayan Imports 20" CAK and R-10 knife:

• Large Hatchet or Small Axe (15-20 inch haft) - Good for general chopping and splitting. Not too large or cumbersom.
• Medium Fixed Blade (4.5-5.0 inch blade, no more than 3/16 inch thick, drop point) - Good for all my slicing and cutting, light bushcraft, etc.
• Multi-tool (SAK or Pliers type) - Back-up blade and general tool kit.

 

[Mentor]

• A small fixed blade with thin stock and a scandi grind. I carry a little EDC fixed blade based on a 'cobbler's knife' blank from Ragweed forge.
• A mid-sized fixed blade. 5" seems to be ideal for blade length. For a long time (as part of my trio challenge), I carried a Delta 5 fixed blade with a drop point and hollow grind. Recently, I have switched to a JK Anniversary Knife, which has a wider blade and a flat grind.
• A chopper. Can't go wrong with a BK-9 for an all-around beast of a knife.

All the best,

- Mike

 

[Carolina River Rat]

HI M-43 gets the most carry time as far as choppers go. Toss in my HI R-10 and RAT Izula and that's a pretty good trio.

 

[RescueRiley]

I like a Largish blade Khuk, Bowie, or machete
..(right now its a customiozed Ontario 12 inch machete)

and a pocket knife or mutli tool ( stockman, SAk or LM wave) for most outings
but if I'm specifically going out to work my skills.. a nice scandi ground bushcraft knife... Is Great to have... Like this Dp scandi Camp master

(don't mind the crappy spoon LOL)

 

[Shotgun]

Small Hatchet, 4 inch fixed, and a multi-tool for me. Thinking of experimenting with a machete though in place of the hatchet.

 

[valcas1]

For me it is usually my Wetterlings LH axe for chopping

My Koster Buschcraft knife for mid size fixed blade.

I usually have some kind of small folder with me... most of the time it's my Vic Farmer. I also like to carry a A.G. Russell Woodswalker. It is a really nice for a food prep knife.

My biggest quest right now is finding a good chopping tool for three season camping when it's not freezing.

I am trying to design a Barong/ golok. I really like the idea of a utility type chopper but have never been a huge fan of the machete for the Northeast where most of my dirt time is spent.

 

[BarberFobic1992]

I almost always go with an axe or larger hatchet of some sort, belt knife (typically with a straight spine and a scandi grind) and either a slip-joint posket knife or a SAK with a saw.

and some pics...
