Mountain men wouldn't have bothered with a scenario like this. They'd have had the knife that was always on their belt, another bigger knife, and they'd have had an axe too. I'm not good at this "only one" scenario stuff.

Amen Brother,
I think they would have had a good laugh at us for even talking about it.:p

But this only one scenario is a very interesting diversion in our snug houses, with a cold brew in our hands, eating tobasco peanuts, with no wild animals or indians left. Chris

Just possibly they, and their biographers, left behind written words that, just possibly, I've read a lot of.

Just possibly :)

Love to know these written words so I can be enlightened also.;) I love period stuff that is not too much pulp. I have read everything I can find that I think is halfway factual, especially Nessmuk and anything about Oetzi. I have to say I totally disagree that primitive man or a mountain man would chose an axe, from what I have read I think a modest belt knife would get the nod. Chris
 
Easy!

My Becker BK7.

But I'm taking runningboar and his Mora and RescueRiley with his double bit axe with me.

:D :p

This Becker has done it all for me, splitting wood, making fuzz sticks, cleaning fish, pickin out splinters, cutting up cheese.... you get the point.

Not too big, not too small, comfortable in the hand. I'm going too miss this brand.

I truly am jealous of the Becker! If I had a BK10 that would be my only choice.:thumbup:
 
Okay, for this thread my parkerized Randall 14 comes out of retirement. :)

Thanks Barny, I always loved the Beckers but wanted it to be more in line with my rustic style.

Trust me, the picture is very flattering, its fairly rough in its build.

Say, how did you get the coating off that BK10? I have one and was considering doing the same with some sort of epoxy-removing chemical.

I used a paint remover from Home Depot. Took the scales off, soaked it in the remover and used some steel wool to remove the gook. Then I put first aid cream on my hands for about a week because I didn't feel the need to use rubber gloves.
 
Just my .02 so as not to offend anybody but...

1. can't say that I've really ever needed to use an axe in the field although it would have come in handy. Just not proficient enough to confidently do smaller chores with one.

2. Not used one before but got to thinking about Native Americans and the use of a tomahawk.

3. I forget the name of the movie with the hannibal lector guy and kim bassinger's ex-husband where they are in the woods and fight this bear...anyhow, the knife that was used in that movie looked like a folding buck 110.

... SO I say why not a Buck 110? Can do buchcraft skinning, gutting chopping. Proven name, durable and probably a knife that, and I use this term losely, "the common man would have" on at any given time.
 
I once saw a custom knife on here that could be used to split logs cleaner than cutting pie, I would have that.

The movie your thinking of is "The Edge" and I think your going somewhere with this...good point.:thumbup:
 
For where I am I would have to say small axe, maybe hatchet size or a little bigger. Tough call though because I really like my Howler LM which would probably be on me if anything like this happened so maybe I should choose that.:D

It's the sharpest blade I've ever handled (now) and I don't enjoy trusting a folder to stand up to all the possible abuses it might have to. An axe would be nice, but it just won't cut it for the smaller stuff.

That's a nice blade bro !:thumbup: What is it ?:confused:
 
Gransfors Wildife Hatchet, kept razor sharp, it'll will do what I need... and then some. :D

I would hopefully be able to find my way out of the bush given enough time.
 
Only 1? Unlikely. But if I have to it will be a Fallkniven S1.
