what types of knives do you carry?

[Orion]

My pocket knife if a Swiss Army Camper.  While  hunting, I use different size custom drop point sheath knives, which I mostly leave in my pack until needed.

all most every time i go hunting i have a different knife. i am not sure what they are called.

My EDC is a customized Swiss Army, I rehandled it in bocote, and now it is much more fun than red palstic.

I carry a Becker BK9 in the pack, an AO "Scallion" clipped to the pants pocket for easy one handed access and some other knife from Cabelas that came free with a magazine subscription-oh, and a Helle Veiderjman or something like that. Wait a minute-I think I am carrying too many knives!!!

Most often I carry a sheath knife I made. Blade came from a catalog and is Soligen steel. Is sharp and stays that way. The handle is an antler from a 2 1/2 year old buck I killed with a recurve a bunch of years ago. The recovery required a nasty uphill drag over rocky terrain, resulting in nearly total loss of hair on one side of the animal. The other knife (other antler) went to the friend that helped drag the deer out!!! Good thing we were lots younger then.

For EDC I rotate between:
1) Benchmade Mini-Griptilian (this usually goes hunting with me as well).
2) Spyderco Navigator
3) Swiss Army Vox (very slim and trim with only the big blade and a combination bottle opener/screwdriver/wire stripper)
4) Swiss Army with a few more accessories on it.
5) A.G. Russell Woodswalker (fixed blade) which carries in a leather sheath in the back pocket.

**I end up carrying the Swiss Army Vox more than anything these days, it's got everything I need for the suburban/office environment and eases my fear of being stuck with a good craft beer and no opener.

Hunting:
1) Love my Helle Harding!
2) Spyderco Bill Moran (fixed blade) with drop point blade.
3) Buck folder from 1994 (not sure of the model?) with a 3" hollow ground blade, it takes a breast off turkey or pheasant like a laser.
4) Helle Steinbit - great fillet knife that also doubles as a boning/kitchen type knife.

Hunting I carry a small trade-style neck knife with a firesteel-magnesium stick included into the sheath.  In my pack I carry a Helle Fire, best knife ever for taking apart an elk (ask dave2old), and whenever I am in the woods I carry a puukko style knife on the belt.  Actually just ordered two new puukkos!  A Kellam and a Finnish one with a Finnish brand name I can't type in.

   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.

Well Lin that is pretty damn modest...........

I have seen your site and your work is amazing. I just have not had the time to call you about a knife. I would carry one of your knives with great pride!

Beautiful Work!

Tim,
      Thanks. I just forged up a damascus billet from which I hope to make me a knife. I sold my personal knife right off my belt the other day. I really wanted to keep one just for me, but I can make another.
   The one I will make me will have a 4 inch dropped point blade of damascus, a Stainless guard and pins and Sheephorn for the handle scales. I like the Sheephorn for several reason, but mostly because it stays grippy even when wet.
   There are a lot of good production knives and I have some too, but when it comes time to rely one one in a serious way, I like the idea of it being custom built for that specific purpose. That's just me.
     Holler at me anytime Tim. I can tell you about how I took the Hog in my avatar.

Hey Lin............

Funny you mention that knife as that is exactly what I was thinking about. If it is available I am very interested. Why don't you shoot me a PM with the details about time frame and price. I need a knife like that to go with my bows.

Tim    :cool:

[Mulberry River]

I carry a Kershaw Ken Onion auto EZ-out lockblade all the time everywhere. So quick & useful for everything from dispatching a road-casualty deer to gutting an arrow-shot one, to numerous other tasks. Also I carry a Gerber brand Wyoming knife for zipping open animals to gut them. Very light, very handy in the backpack!

[Crooked Stic]

Aurora Hunter by our own Numitokayo.
 

[Mike Gerardi]

I only carry one knife. Doug Campbell Caper! Just the right size and shape.

[Lewis Brookshire III]

Mike that is a Very nice Knife, Daniel makes quite a blade from what I have seen and Sylvie is quite the leathersmith too!

[Ausable]

Sheath knife - Helle, buck or browning.

[jrchambers]

i cary a short skinny old gerber,  makes the pooper cuts really easy and is easaly inserted in the neck for bleeding.

[Wudstix]

Day-to-day; I carry a CRKT M-16 in my back pocket and a Swiss Army single balde in my front pocket.
Hunting; I have a Buck Tactical in my back pocket.  Schrade sharp finger, High Pockets skinner, Gerber Gator II, Buck three blade inmy pack.  There's probably one or two others I forgot about floating around in there as well.

[Squirrel Bait]
