what types of knives do you carry?

[GingivitisKahn]

I really like Gerbers.  They don't cost a fortune and they take and hold a great edge.  

I carry a Gerber LST folder (pretty much always) and whatever the heck their slab handled sheath knife is called.

True to my Florida upbringing, I carry a Randall , either an Alaskan skinner(11-4),Hunter(3-5),Trapper(25-5),Little Game (21-3), Bushmaster(19-5)or the Trout and Bird (8-4). Dad started me out with the Hunter as a Christmas present 30 years ago. Usually it's that knife or the Alaskan Skinner that I carry, depending on my mood(the Bushmaster when I feel adventurous)

I have a few myself. The only time I don't have my leatherman wave on me is when my pants are lying on the floor. I also favor a Benchmade Stryker for a pocket knife. I prefer a fixed blade when hunting. This S30V drop point is made by Bryan Baker from Boise (works for Chris Reeves);



I also rotate a Buck Vanguard and a Cold Steel Outdoorsman thru the mix. The S30V is some hard stuff! Oh to own/carry a Randal 25-5. Maybe one of these days...

Usually one of these.  The Randall 3-5 ends up cutting up most deer.



For EDC I have a single blade trapper made by Don Morrow.

Randal1 #26 Pathfinder or Jimmy Lile # 7....

While hunting I carry a custom by Lin Rhea.  As Tim mentioned previously, Lin is being very modest, and obviously doesn't like to toot his own horn.  I also have a Bowie of his I intend to use as a camp knife.  He is right on with the sheephorn, as it has a nice tacky feel when wet.  The hunter is extra special as my wife had it made for me.  I'm a sucker for Buckeye burl and the ebony spacer matches the ebony riser in my hunting bow.

Hi SquirrelBait, that Sabatier blade you have from your granddad is made by famous French cutlers. They make some of the very best kitchen knives as well as blades for kitchen equipment Moulinex Cusinart etc. I picked up a filleting knife for R10 at a store sellout. I could not believe my luck! The high carbon blade was rusted a bit and the new shopowner said they wouldn't carry such a 'poor quality' knife again. Ha, a little care and she's a beauty, you can shave with her any day you like. (R10 = $3.50!!)It's one of two I use every single day in the kitchen, the other is a Zwilling Drizak 10" chef's knife had them for twenty years, two good friends.

For hunting No9 Opinel,leatherman supertool and Helle 4" blade I made up to match my bow, plus spare small fixed custom in my pack, plus small hawk on my quiver.

For everyday use, I always carry my Kershaw Scalion, and for hunting it's my custom skinner made for me by Highpockets.

Buck 110 is my workhorse. You can never carry too many knives though.

[returntoarchery]

Hunting:

1968-1970ish Othello Yukon Hunter Rosewood handle Solingen Germany. Easy to sharpen to razor's edge and it will hold that edge. You'll have to kill me to get it.

1970 Buck Stockman Large blade model. Hard as h*** to sharpen but has sentimental value.

Every Day:

Swiss Army Victorinox Executive. Bigger than the Classic but fits well in the pocket without being uncomfortable.

[PrarrieDog]

A brother in Christ built me a hand forged huntin' knife hafted with a chunk of yella wood left over from the bow that Herb made. The wood was from an Osage tree that my dad and I cut before he passed. Both the bow and knife are really special to me.

That pic makes me weak in the knees every time I see it. If you ever decide to sell it send me a pm first. I can't get enough of that knife!!

[Gene Roberts]

A Gerber with a gut hook.

[Tater]

  This is my hunting knife by a local custom knife maker, W.Depperschimdt

            (sorry about the flash back)

[Ron LaClair]

Never be caught underknifed.    

 

[Lin Rhea]

I agree!
 

[Jack Guard]

Lin, i am lovin that knife in your avatar.  did ya take that hog with it ?

[Lin Rhea]

Jack,
       Yea, I did, but the dogs helped too. That hog had the best cutters of any we've taken even though he was not very big in comparison to some. We weighed him at 220 lbs.
 The knife has an 11 inch blade of my damascus.
