What tasks do you use your knife the most for?

i would say probably wood cutting. whittling, clipping small branches around a camp spot, making odds and ends.
 
When camping it's Food prep, fire making, I like making traps also. Cutting cord, rope, etc.

Around the house its opening mail, and I really enjoy using my knives to open new knives:D

For me it would chopping and slashing overgrown vegetation on the trail, followed by making kindling (baton work), some whittling and occasional food prep.

My current favorite is the Bark River Custom “Big-Sky Camp Knife”, a guardless Bowie with a 7” blade. :thumbup:

Mine sports dyed bone handle scales. :cool:

Primarily "wood-working."

Fire-making, to include cutting a section of a dead/dry stick about 1 1/2" in diameter, splitting it into kindling, making fuzzies, scraping dry inner bark, etc. I make fires often.

Clearing underbrush, one sapling or branch at a time.

Pruning trees, shrubs and non-woody plants in the yard/garden.

Making utensils like spoons and forks.

Making pot hooks, lid lifters (dutch oven), fire standards, garden stakes, tent/tarp stakes.

Food prep.

Slaying weeds which have overtaken me in height.

Opening mail, packaged food, 2-cycle oil seals, USPS Priority Mail Boxes with new knives inside, slaughtering cardboard boxes and any other menial task typically required of a knife to include cutting automotive hoses, twine, string, extracting foreign objects embeded in my skin.....

Since I have not been hunting in years, I have not done any game in ages.
 
first and by far foremost, cutting food. Next would come whittling. Then de-barking walking sticks.
