What’s you favorite CPK, why?

[PeteyTwoPointOne]

Light Chopper...great neutral handle that feels like it was made expressly for me...

I use mine very Machete-like...I just don't scythe down close to the ground with it

it's very "snappy."

 

[Lorien]

Ooo la la. Can you tell us about the thought behind it and/or share pics?

Nate and co. will see it first, which should be next week,so we'll see where things are at after that

Whatever happens, you are a stud Lorien .

For me it’s the EDC1. It’s light weight and I can carry it without noticing it.

Mine would have to be HDFK. It's the perfect camp knife and does a little bit of everything well.

I use my EDC2 the most. Mail and boxes don’t stand a chance.
I have an OG non delta Field Knife One.. my first CPK... my hand keeps finding that one to fiddle with while I am surfing the web

MC for me, out of all my CPKs (EDC2, FK1, FK2, UF, HDFK, LC, MC, HDMC, BC).

Always been a Large Camp Knife fan. The HDFK is a great knife, and I can absolutely see why so many folks picked it as their #1 choice. It's really a Goldilocks size for the vast majority of folks.

The MC is my pick, simply due to my own personal preferences. I've learned to use a 9-11" blade to do just about anything I might do with a 6" blade, but I like the added chopping power.

I'm a big fan of the FKs as well, but if for whatever reason, I could only keep one CPK, it would be the MC for me.

 

[azwelke]

The FK1 is in close second, and is the knife I’d keep, if I could only keep one.
I love the grip on it. At first I really didn’t understand what people liked about it so much. After some use, I found out. It’s versatile and feels great.

 

[TRfromMT]

The FK2 is damn near perfection. I could go on and on about the handle ergonomics, steel and geometry.

As to the original question, "which CPK?"...

THIS CPK. There are a lot of FK2, but this one is mine.

Another vote for the HDFK for the best multi purpose knife. However I find myself carrying my FK2 more often because lately my hikes have been more urban than back country. (But if I only could choose one it would be an HDFK)

 

[Lorien]

EDC is my most used knife, cus EDC! It cannot do what the HDFK can, but the HDFK can do almost anything the EDC can, cept EDC!

 

[XtianAus]

The OG field knife was near perfect to me.

I (regrettably) traded the FK for the HDFK which was also almost perfect, just a little to big for my uses.

I now currently only own the EDC2 which has blown me away. If it were just a little bit bigger, near the size of a field knife then, i'd say it were my stand out favourite.

Long story short. I just can't pick one

I am really hoping the DEK turns out to be a slightly larger EDC. That would make the most perfect knife ever for me.

Haha, I use to collect gemstones before knives

For “feels right in the hand” - it would have to be my A2 Shiv. Funnily enough, I don’t really like the way the HDFK feels but it works great, from choking up for detailed carving to holding the very back of the handle for chopping.

 

[Ryan Thompson]

Another vote for the HDFK. Easily the most capable all around fixed blade I own. And the performance! I have used it for pretty much everything, even filleted a bunch of fish with it, just because. As everyone who has one knows, it can handle virtually anything. I’ll also agree about the perfect ergonomics.

Having to pick now, it'd be the Utility Fighter. It's not a chopper. I feel I would carry a small hatchet for that. I find the handle extremely comfortable, well balanced, and the blade shape perfectly useful from picking something out of a log, cutting up a steak, opening boxes, or whatever I have asked it to do. It's light and rides well in just about any configuration.
