It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside will blow your mind!!! 10 miles east of Holbrook Arizona. I-40 exit 294 - Sun Valley Rd.

If you're coming from the east, it's on your way to Overland Expo :-)

I like kershaw knives when it comes to pocket knives and esee knives for my survival/camp knives.
Esee knives are awesome.

I tried destroying an ESEE Izula 2.... Over the course of 5 years... It's still in impeccable shape!

That's my old hood. How are the prices? I'd take a Sunday drive if it was worth it.

I'll throw in another for ESEE, two deployments and two training cycles. It's a great knife and I haven't been particularly kind to it. It's the most I've ever paid for a knife, but it's been worth every penny. I'd love to pick up one of the smaller ones for work.

I didn't do any comparison shopping, but I read a review online that said they were high on prices. But the selection is overwhelming. Worth a look.

I prefer my gerber gator for a folding option

for a fixed blade I find myself using my buck diamond back all the time (generic pic)

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, 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?

I love my Benchmade Bushcrafter. I always have it with me when I am camping, wheeling, etc. . . It can handle a variety of tasks with ease and it came with a leather sheath which was a great bonus. Sheath also has a spot for a firesteel if you're into that sort of thing. I have used it for everything from breaking down kindling to making dinner to starting a fire. Can't say enough good things about the knife or Benchmade in general for that matter.

I have a Benchmade Griptillian with Micarta scales. I use this for everything. It's always on me and it holds an edge pretty good.

Main camp knife I use is Kershaw but just recieved this custom blade from Half Faced Blades. More of a knife I can pass down to my son when he's older. Elk and carbon fiber split handle with mosaic pins.

I'm a knife maker and custom knife collector. The perfect knife doesn't exist

Best to get lots and lots of them for different functions! Hahaha

My edc is my kershaw trace drop point.

My "truck knife" which gets used for pretty much everything while camping is my JR knives neckr Jr.

Have been looking at the Fallkniven range for a few weeks been waiting to see if any offers come up in January before making a purchase

I'm a firm believer in the tool for the job, but as for an all around camp knife, I made a Sax style knife. I figure if I break it I'll just make another, so far so good.

I always carry a Ontario Rat 1 in my pocket. An Esee 6 on the outside of the backpack or in the car. A spare Kershaw mini in the backpack.

My Rat 1 with custom scales. :) One beast of a knife. Best part about it? It's only like $20 off amazon. I've owned Kershaw and CRKT, but I keep going back to this knife. It's such a stout knife that has yet to fail on me.

 

[timberwolf_120]

I just got a CRKT Fossil. absolutely love it as a EDC.
the blade is on the bigger side tho. So a cop may give you crap for it if he sees it.
But this past Christmas my grandma used it to carve the turkey and cut pretty much anything that needed be cut and it worked flawlessly. its also got a decently thick blade so you could pry with it if need be. Its definetly not a benchmade but for 50-80 bucks (depending where you buy and if you get the serrated or not) its a great all around knife. Plus it looks cool as shit lol

this is my jeep knife. its just some walmart knife that was part of the holiday sales a few years back. haven't got to use it yet tho

 

[TreXTerra]

The Ontario is a good looking knife, I love the custom scales on it. Did you make them or find them somewhere?

I found them on Etsy, from this store. Took about 2 weeks time. 3 days to make it, the rest to get it shipped over seas, through customs, and at my door, from Russia.

I carry a Kershaw Ken Onion Blur in my pocket and have a Benchmade Bushcrafter I carry as well when I'm around camp. I'm a sucker for the S30V steel.

I have a few cheap kitchen knifes in the mess box but I'd hate to have to do much more than food prep with them.
