what's your woods knife

if i plan to stay a while it s either a lg knife like my rtak or my dog father or one of my hatchets . a med knife like a srk or master or something like that a mora all the time for kitchen stuff or for my neck /neck knife. and either a Doug ritter or a skirmish and always a leather super tool or leatherman ti and arc AAAflashlite . if short i leave the big stuff home . just around home its either the ritter or skirmish and a leatherman a Mora or a dumpster mutt now i just got the mutt have not used it yet though:D
 
For hunting I am in love with my Buck 105 pathfinder. Camping and fishing, its either a Mora #780 triflex craftsman, or Becker necker. EDC is a Case trapper and LeatherMan new Wave. The LM Wave is with me for all other activities as well.
 
When I'm feeling "traditional" I hike with this (Custom Shoppe Buck 110 and Victorinox Camper):

Not long ago, this was my typical hiking combo and EDC (Spyderco Pacific Salt and Leatherman Wave):

Recently I have changed my hiking combo and EDC to this (Spyderco Endura 4 and Leatherman Blast):

When I go camping I add this to my blade selection (Coleman folding saw):

And when fishing:

My knives and tools that follows me when I am in the woods are as follows:
Fallkniven U2 in my pocket, LM Fuse on my belt, Fallkniven F1 in my belt or backpack, SAK in my PSK and a short Fiskars axe.

What I would like to add is a Laplander saw and a old model LM Wave.
 
For a short walk , any 2 of the folders and one of the fixed blades.
If I plan on being out in the woods for an hour or more , I grab my fanny pack and have both fixed blades and at least two of the folders.
Nothing fancy or expensive ( the Buck is priceless to me though , it was my fathers EDC ) .
I've been lurking on this board for a while , learning lots , not posting much,
Just thought I'd say HI :D
Also, most any walk in the woods from camp , I have my Marlin 1894:) in .44 mag on a sadle ring sling .

No photos today because I'm headed out the door...

My constant companions are:

1. Becker BK-7 PSK knife
2. Mora Triflex Craftsman
3. Livesay NRGS Neck knife, also set up as a small psk.
4. Machete, either a 16 inch Tramontina in my car trunk or a 12 inch Ontario on my pack.

My EDC folder is a Spyderco Endura. My multi-tool is a Leatherman Wave, but I don't often wear it unless I'm fixing stuff or traveling by car. Nothing fancy. Mac
 
Thanks!
She is a beauty...BG-42 blade-steel, nickle-silver bolsters, and asian waterbuffalo horn scales!
Everybody should own at least one Custom Shoppe Buck 110. :thumbup:
 
Wish i could post pics sorry. But for over nights i take my RAT-7 and i always have my mini grip. For mountain bike rides or day hikes i take my RAT-3 and my grip. Some times ill bring a small axe.
 
I’m always chancing my set-up, but this is what I would choice now:

Hiking (light weight): SRKW HR, Opinel 8 and Vic OHT or Leatherman new Wave.
Overnight camping: BK7, Mora and my Leatherman new Wave, + Byrd Meadowlark in PSK
Just playtime in nature: Mora and a Vic OHT

One choice for camping

Another choice for camping

Hunting

I probably have way more choices for knives, but these ones were on hand.
 
Typicial outdoor carry for me is a swiss army knife and a larger folder. My swiss army knife of choice is a Victorinox fieldmaster tho I sometimes carry a Wenger backpacker instead.
My 'larger' folder for years was a Buck 110 then a stockman for awhile. These days I have pretty much settled on trappers and moose pattern slip-joints.
These cover my hiking/hunting needs just fine. If I am camping I will bring along a hatchet, an old Estwing that I have had for years.

As you can see I am partial to orange! Makes it easy to spot if I drop it.
Just got the Ranger knives recurve RD9 from Justin, what a beast!
Now all I need is someone to send me a tree in the mail and I am all set.
Next is my patinad RAT5 in 1095, my patinad Mora 911, my O1 survival blade from Gossman in the custom forum, was my first custom and first in O1, very impressed! Then the humble yet amazing SAK farmer. Missing are the sak outrider and my leatherman crunch.
Any combination of these will probably be with me depending on what I'm going to be doing. I think the O1 will be with me all the time, its so much knife in such a small package.
 
If it's just grab and go then I take my Ranger 5.5" with a LM Wave in the pouch. Manix is my EDC so it's already there.

hatchetjack man, I always get envious when I see that custom Ranger :D I emailed Justin about getting one similar. What is that othe rfixed blade in the pic with the Bark River? Looks like a sweet little knife.
 
Sadly I don't have a pic of my own so I stole this one from the bully at SRKW.:D

I also carry a pocket knife, multitool, and when I camp or go for long hikes axe/saw.
 
I can never seem to make up my mind. I always have a Vic Huntsman, usually in the sheath of a larger knife, with a photon and whistle on the "ring" of the Huntsman. Then, I usually have a slippie in my pocket, lockback clipped to another pocket, and a fixed blade on the belt. The farther from civilization, the bigger the fixed blade. Here are some of my choices:

Unfortunately I can't access or post any pictures from my Photobucket album here in Iraq:mad:

I usually have a few different setups depending on day hikes, camping, backpacking and hunting.

For all adventures, I have a SAK (usually my Rucksack or Huntsman).

For Hunting, my work-horse skinner is my Dozier Pro-Skinner. My little handy Firestone belt-axe does a great job for heavier chores. Along with my SAK, I usually carry my older Leatherman Wave. Of course a simple lockback such as my Ritter RSK-1, AFCK or Spyderco Military typically make the front pocket. Lastly, I like to carry a small folding saw such as Gerber or the Kershaw (Finnish saw).

For day hikes, it could be as simple as a folder (or two) and my SAK, however I'm usually trying out new blades on day hikes, so I typically carry several. I usually go with a smaller fixed blade; I like Roselli, Dozier, Mora, Fallkniven F1 and sometimes a few customs from my safe.

For backpacking/camping, it really depends on the area. I like to carry a big blade, but if I know it's going to be damp and the need to do a lot of log-splitting is expected, I'll carry my Roselli Hatchet or my GB Wildlife hatchet. For a big blade, I really enjoy my Bark River EVO-1...however, I've taken my Livesay RTAK, Ang Khola 15" or (if lighter vegetation), I'll take one of my Ontario 12" machetes; I have since added Fehrman's Extreme Judgement, Siegle's HoodlumII (on it's way to me in Iraq right now), and will eventually get my Patton 10" chopper to play with...I plan to get some good field testing done, but won't get any good camping until next year (2008). Since I usually have a hatchet or large blade, I typically go with a 4-5" fixed belt knife. Some of my top pics that have been taken out are my Fehrman Last Chance, Busse NOe, Mission MPK-10S (excellent knife for the price I might add), TOPS Pasayten (excellent knife, and one of my favorites) and Blackjack's Model 5 (nice classic)...I'll hopefully get to try out BGoode's Trailsman and Razorback's Nessmuk after redeployment as well. I usually carry another smaller fixed blade for minute chores...I've really grown to love AG Russell's little Woods-Walker in a neck sheath. Of course, I'll carry a folder and my SAK. Also, I usually add a folding saw.
