Quote HistoryQuoted: The Blind Horse Knives PLSK2 is perfect for camping hiking. Not sure what you mean by "do it all" but this does everything a fixed blade this size is supposed to do. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/514647/3EB5E0EE-548C-4C86-88CF-EAFAFD01F946-1901947.jpg The company is now called Battle Horse Knives and they have a similar knife to the PLSK2 called the Highlander. These are all hand made knives in the USA not machine made in China like the others posted above. ESEE, Gerber LMF II and Becker BK7 are not made in China. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So the problem with the internet is there's so much information and so many situations. So like you, I have zero desire to get in a knife fight. I worked with a guy who did knife fighting training. Fuck that. So where am I then? Well I like to camp so I want a beefier knife to do stuff. And being completely honest, I like cool stuff too just because. So I got an Esse 6 because that'll be a great camping knife for whatever. When I got a Tomahawk I opted for a quality manufacturer but I thought "Man the spike is kinda cool. I mean I don't need that, but if the tool is already quality why not indulge for cool?" I actually do use the spike sometimes for moving logs and shit but being honest it was for fun. Moras are just so great and cheap I have a billion. They're in my truck and my packs and everywhere. They do pretty much everything except split wood. I've fileted fish with them, cut paracord, trimmed branches for kindling, etc. So basically I camp and do outdoors activities, so my knives get used, but I also like to be like "lol that's fun" when I use it. I haven't been camping since I picked up the Esse a few months ago. I have shoehorned Moras into everything and probably given like 3 away. I just picked up the KaBar Harpoon a few months ago. I haven't used it for anything aside from testing it on batoning some red oak firewood I have. It blasted through that with ease - granted it was well seasoned wood. The MoraKnivs I have come sharp as it is, and are easy to keep really sharp. Years of camping - albeit years ago - in scouts taught me that saws beat axes/hatchets for cutting wood - axes/hatchets beat knives for chopping/splitting wood and knives beat axes/hatches for finer work. There is no "one best tool". |

I haven't been camping since I picked up the Esse a few months ago. I have shoehorned Moras into everything and probably given like 3 away. I have a small tote box full of Moraknivs of various makes and models, but I would have to say that the Companion is hands-down my favorite. I have a carbon steel Companion I use for general food prep needs, and a stainless steel Companion I use for fishing. I also have a stainless steel filet knife for fishing. I have a few Bushcraft models, but they feel bulky compared to the Companion. I also have a carbon steel Basic I've beat on pretty thoroughly, so that I don't abuse my Companion any more than necessary. The spine and handle are pretty chewed up from playing around with quartz as flint, but it's a perfect size for small projects. I think the Basic's best feature is the large finger guard, giving it a very secure grip, which I like. The Craftline and Pro models have the same grip design. I know the Kansbol and Garberg models are popular, but the lack of a finger guard makes me nervous. It looks like it would be too easy to slip forward on the grip when applying any forward pressure. I know they're great knives, I just happen to be rather picky and risk averse when it comes to knives. I've broken a few folders over the years, which has made me cautious of where my fingers are in relation to the blade. For a general purpose knife, it's still hard to imagine that these $100+ knives being posted are somehow better or more capable than a Morakniv Companion. Granted, some of these high end knives are practically works of art, but I personally would rather have a dozen Companions than one really expensive knife.

There is no "one best tool". Yep. At Scout Camp, we could always tell who the newest Scouts were when it came time to collect and make firewood. New Scouts always went for the hatchets--because, hey--it's in our blood to like pseudo-weapons. Hatchets are cool. Bowsaws make firewood and poles. Quickly. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Threads like this one are filled with nothing but pictures of 400 dollar safe queens. Flash!! There is no do all knife. If you want something useful, get a Morakniv, and a decent Leatherman or Gerber tool. Take the rest of the money and spend it on something useful like maybe an Appleseed shoot. Q: When was the last time you were in combat? A: During your last wet dream. I have a Combat Africa as well. It lives in the box in which it was presented to me. The chance that it will ever serve its intended role is close to zero and gets smaller every day. It is a work of art and a personal treasure. I would never have spent the money for one, but I have no desire to part with it. That said, a Case Trapper is an infinity more useful tool for my everyday life. |

There really isn't a "do-it-all" knife. Compromises have to be made depending on what task you're undertaking.
For a camping/bushcraft tasks, take a look at the Jeff White Bush Knife. You probably won't find much better for the price. You'll have to sign up for email notifications...it sells out FAST. Bush Knife (Yeah I know, some of you will object that it's Dave Canterbury's website, but try finding that knife anywhere else). If you're not into that one, take your pick of Becker Knife & Tool BK2/BK22, BK7, BK10 or ESSE-4 or ESSE-4HM. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: ESEE 4 is a very practical general purpose knife. A 'do all' knife probably can't do much at all. A fantastic knife for the money, but the Esee PR4 corrects the one major problem the Esee 4 has...blade thickness. The PR4 is on sale at Amazon for $100. I'd say best bushcraft/survival knife (I know of) in the 100 dollar range. That said, I just purchased the Lars Falt Casstrom knife. 4.5" blade, 3.5mm thick scandi grind in K720 steel $180. Pardon the oily grime...I'm currently applying lindseed oil to the curly birch handles. This is an amazing knife in this price range!  Attached File |

On is a carbon steel 3.5 in. that I put a patina on, it turned it almost black, kinda interesting. the second is a SS 4.1 in. version that is a kick around. Nothing it hasn't done that I've asked it to, and for the price, I've asked some ignorant things of it. Still looks and preforms as new, so far. If I run across a great price on a 4 inch carbon, I'll probably get one, just to have the dark blade. Unfortunately, these seem to be a victim of their own success, as the pricing is inching upward, almost weekly. Both take and hold and edge that gives off impending doom when taken from the scabbard. Just right. |

Mora Companion Stainless here, but I should not have gotten the heavy duty. For one, wanted to upgrade when this one wore out.
I also think the thinner carbon steel blade is the sweet spot in terms of utility for just about everything, and "heavy duty" in the Mora world is swedish for total fucking overkill. |

I have a few of each, and agree that the 0.10" blade seems more useful than the 0.125" blade, without sacrificing much at all in terms of durability. I don't mind the thicker blade on the Bushcraft though, where it seems more appropriate. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just get a Buck 119. USA made, about $50. Or spend a little more, and get a Grohman Canadian Belt Knife. Either one will do anything you need of it. Wonderful butchering knife. A little delicate for some purposes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: stainless or carbon? @JLPettimoreIII Both my original #1 and the #3 Boat knives are stainless but my #4 Survival was custom with carbon steel blade. While the carbon steel requires a little more attention for maintenance, I can get a much better and longer lasting edge with their carbon steel. If I wasn't around salt water all the time, I would opt for their carbon steel blades. With enough use, it will just get a beautiful patina and have a natural protective coating. ROCK6 |
