These are the ones I use more than any others. Nothing fancy or "tacticool". Just good, solid tools that never lets me down.

Image
The Victorinox folder is my EDC. It's always in my pocket both for everyday life and for hiking.
The Big one is technically not a knife (it's a bush axe). It lives in my pack and doubles as both axe and machete.

The last one in detail:
Image
This is my go to knife for bushcraft and various tasks around camp. Always in my pack and it has been for more than 15 years now.
Everyone should have a good old fashioned full tang, no nonsense knife like that.
Gear is a poor substitute for knowledge. And much heavier.

Got a Camillus era BK7 in the mail yesterday I had planned to mod. Once I found out it was a Camillus I ordered a Ka-Bar version to mod and will keep the Camillus as a user.

Thanks. It is indeed a great tool.
The power of an axe, combined with the maneuverability of a machete. And more flexible than both.

It has gone though 2 inch saplings in one 45 degree chop more than once. Leaving a perfectly clean edge< :)

My POHL FORCE H3 ALPHA 2, great knife, really love it.
I try to use it in my EDC kit but it's very big for a folder.

Picked this little baby up at Red Dawn in OKC. It's a bit unique in the shape of the blade...plus the interior metal is colored and works well with the handle.

My Dad gave me this when I was in High School back in 96. It is a Puma White Hunter he got in Germany in the 60's

Hold on to it! Those older White Hunters are very popular and highly sought-after among hunters in Germany. The newer production models can't compete with them.
Off the internet until further notice.
