What is our equivalent of a “land, sea, and air” collection?

[DangerZone98]

I recently got started in the budget world of watch collecting! Nothing too crazy for now, as I set my hard limit to $200, usually less than that even. It’s every bit as deep of a rabbit hole as the world of knives. One of the intriguing themes I learned just this year was the land, sea, and air collection. Basically means having a racing or field-type watch (land), a diving watch (sea), and an aviation watch (air). Some guys add a dress-type watch to the mix for formal occasions. I never really paid attention to watch archetypes before so I found all this quite interesting.

It made me think if this is a thing in the enthusiast cutlery world as well. Translating this literally, I suppose this would entail a woods knife (land), a diving knife made of LC200N or H1 steel (sea), and a pilot’s knife along the lines of the BK10 I suppose (air). If we were just to retain the theme of “having a knife for every need,” I think we can also use a field-formal-food approach.

Do you guys have a land-sea-air trio in your collection?

The older SOG Seal Pup with AUS6 would be my do-all for land sea and air. I use the do-all approach with my watch too, a Seiko Flightmaster that is water proof to 200m. I’ve used both in the military, and also for SCUBA diving. The watch was a gift from my wife when we started dating. It was replaced by the same model when we married. It does everything I’ve ever needed a watch to do.

If I had to pick from my collection for the knife equivalent to land, sea, air, I’d probably go:
Land: Becker BK5
Sea: Spyderco Waterway
Air: IDK? Maybe SOG Seal Team. The Seal Team would likely be fine for all of these categories.

i thought it was a seal knife thread
but this topic is cool too!

 

[GIRLYmann]

ideally it would be great to have
specific knives for specific environments.
but ... have to make do and compromise with a bunch of saks

Knives for different environments sounds good.

You could argue, because it is the Space-Bar, it covers none! Only to cut in the vastness of space...
