what types of knives do you carry?

[Ian johnson]

I like seeing what other people carry and why, I carry a case yellow handled trapper, best knife I've ever had!, I carry a hendrix made hunter when hunting

[Brian Krebs]

I carry a sheath knife on my belt all the time. Its a Schrade 171UH - a heavy bladed knife that is super strong.
 I use it for cutting baling twine; and as I would an axe when I have too.
 I also carry a pocket knife - a cheap folding knife with a blade that locks open. It has a beveled edge; and half the blade; the lower part is serrated.
 Its so cheap; I cannot find a name on it. But then I sharpen my knives so often that they tend to shrink after a while  
 For field dressing elk and deer etc; I use the folding knife. I also carry a small file; in case I have to resharpen the blade.
  I use my knives all the time; and I think a knife like my Schrade which has a large hilt- is what you need for self defense against man or beast; as it keeps your hand from slipping forward.
  I think it is kinda foolish to have a folding knife that doesn't lock open. Just my opinion; and I have the scars to back up my opinion  :(

For work I carry an el cheapo fixed blade thing I won in a raffle,,it's cheap but sharpens up to scary sharp very fast an easy.
As a hunting knife I have an 8" bowie made by local knife maker "Brian Baker" of Svord Knives.
Nothing fancy,just very sharp and well made.
For butchering things I use Victornox.

[Stone Knife]

A bone handle case trapper, yellow handle case muskrat for the small work.

everyday carry knife is a cold steel spectre
for hunting a cold steel mini california drop point hunter or sog northwest ranger

[JBiorn]

A Coast lockback for everyday, and a nice drop point belt knife when hunting.

I have carried several production knives and still do from time to time. But since I have started making Custom Knives, I've really begun to appreciate the difference. They do tend to cost more than productions, but generally so do the bows.
   For those that prefer Custom Bows, a Custom Knife would fit well into your equipment. There are several makers with websites who make knives to order from various materials and for different uses. These guys test there knives, sometimes to destruction, to get the most out of the steel. I recommend Ray Kirk of the Cherokee Nation.

For work I use either a Benchmade Griptilian,or a CRKT M21-14.

For hunting and such,I usually have at least 2 different Damascus knives on me.They get rotated quite a bit.One on my armguard,and then rotate thru the 5 or 6 customs I have.

[Whip]

I carry a number of them for different reasons.  My prized possesion is a dandy Tippit knife I won in the St. Judes auction a couple years ago and don't leave home without it.  
Then I have a straight blade Buck knife that my grandmother gave to me as a birthday gift some 40 years ago.  It was my first real good knife.  She was a special lady to me, and her knife rides in my pack on most hunts.  
I also usually have a Sharade leightweight folder tucked in as a backup.  Not too many trips when I need them all, but I like having them with me just the same.

[Doug in MI]

I've carried a Buck 501 lockblade since I was 14 for everyday use. I have worn out a couple but always replace it with the same model.
For hunting I like a fixed blade and I have a couple style Buck knives I like.
I also have a small Bark River fixed blade I have trying out.

[Izzy]

Either an Emerson CQC 7 or a Benchmade Griptillian for every day.For hunting I have so many I switch often but I usually pack the Benchmade as a spare.

[crittergitter]

I carry 3 knives when hunting, 2 Dozier customs (Master Hunter & Bird & Trout models) and 4" Case Trapper. All 3 are razor sharp and ready at all times. I gotta say though "those Doziers are the sharpest knives and have incredible edge retention". They are the only custom that I have ever been willing to spend so much money on and will again.

[Taiga Recurve]

My EDC is a Camillus Heat (robo assit), Becker Necker (neck knife), a leatherman wave, a fire steel that fits in the sheath of the leatherman and a braclet made out of 15' of 550 cord. When I go hunting I just add my BK 7 made by Ethan Becker.

[Talondale]

Old Timer 8OT is my everyday pocket knife.  I have a CheatR knife made by Frank that I got as a White Elephant from a fellow tradganger. A few other knives that rotate in and out while hunting but always carry a Wyoming knife for gutting.

Depends on the "mood for the day".  Any number of folders (as I have about 30-40).  Funny thing is that my "favorite" is probably the cheapest one, an Opinel with a high carbon blade.  It can be made wicked sharp, and is just so darn simple.  Plus, if it gets lost, I'm only out about $5-$8.  When it comes to hunting, I use a fixed blade.  Mostly production ones with  slender blades (KOA Bear Cub or Jager, Gorhmann T&B or Camper, or a couple other odd ball ones that I just liked).  Some day I will have one from Doug C, or other makers here, just haven't had the opportunity.

Some have a "bow sickness", for me it is knives.  Not from a collector perspective or needing some really high priced item, but just shapes or styles I like.  Though it must hold an edge.

[bayoulongbowman]

the best knife I carry is a "Emerson"...used these for long time...gave one to my daughter boyfriend for his 2nd tour in Iraq, one of Americas best , a Marine!

[Plywood Bender-laptop]

I carry a Benchmade AFCK almost everyday.  I've had for about 10 yrs.  In fact, I bought a spare because of the old saying, "If you find something you really like, they will quit making it."  BTW- I think they did quit aking it.

For hunting I carry any of a couple favorite belt knives.  Lately, its been a Grohman canadian hunter.  I also like the Helle Harding, but I have given all the ones I made away.

My EDC is a Spyderco Military.When I go hunting I add a Buck folder in a pouch.I am looking to replace the Buck with a Dozier.

[KodiakBob]

For years I carried a Spyderco, good knive easy to keep sharp, now I have a Gerber Rex Applegate Covert folder. When hunting I carry my fathers very old Navy issue Camillus belt knive.

[beachbowhunter]

Either a Helle Polar or Harding knife that I made up and a Buck 110.
