The Quest for the Best Knife.

[velo47]

I think every one of my packs and vehicles has a Mora in it. Companions or Clippers.
I usually have a Griptilian or Mini Griptilian in my pocket. If not, I have a Buck 110 or Helle on my belt.

I forgot to mention that for the camp kitchen I do have a full-size chef's knife and a serrated bread knife. I'm so used to them at home that I figured why make camp cooking harder than it needs to be?

Buck 110 is the first knife bought for every future hunter in my family. My dad has given away 6 to his kids and grandkids. I’m about to buy my first grandson his. He should be born late November early December.

Here in Europe, especially in Scandinavia, most of the people own a Mora Knife. It is super handy, good steel and affordable.
The Mora comes in different versions, but the simple Companion is the best one. I use multiple ones. One is attached to my chest bag one is in the car.

Go to "Smoky Mountain Knife Works" and have them send you a catalog. They sell SMKW and 15-20 other major brands, 175 pages of knifes and related "stuff".

A friend of mine turned me onto the Glock knife. I’ve carried their pistols for decades and this knife is amazing and super tough. Holds an edge real good too! I’ve used to split small pieces of wood and then to cut my steaks (after washing it).

I'm curious what knife or knives everyone favors when out on the trail.

I usually have one or two old kitchen knives for cooking, my Kershaw Cryo II in my pocket, the old Victorinox I bought as a kid lives in the glove box all the time and I typically keep my Leatherman Juice S2 in a small pouch (along with some other bits and bobs that can quickly go in my pocket). Finally, I have a Mora fixed blade I keep in my SHTF bag, but it is also good for cooking, gutting fish, or whatever else needs doing.

I'm curious what everyone carries around camp, in their camp kitchens Wholesale cutlery, or just has kicking around the cab of the rig. How do you like it, why do you use it, would you get the same knife again?

What kind of knife do you carry on duty? I am looking to add a better knife to my duty carry and off duty carry. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be much appreciated! (Brand name if you can too) thanks!

I used to carry a Benchmade Auto-stryker, but the metal seemed to not want to hold an edge. Now I use CRKT knives as I’ve had great luck with them, the m16 knives are hard to beat.

Mora Bushcraft Black is my favorite. Carbon steel sharp, able to strike a ferro rod, well built and best of all, pretty reasonable price.

Through many years and many, many knives, I find that the more money I have in a blade, the more I tend to care for it and keep an eye on it. That said, you can easily overspend...kinda like sunglasses.

The best blades to fit my personal budget and expected quality have been the offerings from Spyderco.

I usually always have an Endura 4 or a Delica 4 on me. I'm a huge fan of the full flat grind...you can get them scary sharp without a ton of effort.

Can't remember if I posted but here's some of mine.
Gerber tan is my EDC and love it. Use it multiple times a day.
Red is Victorinox and is a floral knife but great all round
Black is a buck.
Interchangeable blades for the other. (dumb knife) but interesting
Diamond sharpener I bought in 1992 and still going. Three passes on any knife and you're done
