Knife, Multi-Tool, Both?

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Just wondering what you guys carry when you go afield. I've always carried just a 2-bladed Case. Been thinking about getting a Leatherman. Curious as to what everyone on here carries. Justin

Both

[Son of Texas]

I carry a case stockman in pocket and a schrade skinning knife in my pack, I hardly ever use my skinning knife.

Case stockman or Scrade stockman and Gerber multitool. I like the one hand operation of the Gerber over the leatherman. I also have a skinning knife in my pack.

A Schrade multi-tool built by Vise-Grip. I'm not sure if they make them anymore considering the demise of Schrade cutlery, but if you can lay your hands on one----get it. I destroyed 3 multitools in a year--1 Leatherman, 1 Schrade Tufftool, and 1 Gerber before I ended up with this one, I have had it for going on 4 years now, and haven't even destroyed it a little bit.

 Also I carry a Coast lockback knife, so I'll have to say I carry both.

I carry a Leatherman Wave on me every single day. Great tool that gets used a lot.I'm a network troubleshooter by trade so I'm always taking jacks apart, opening panels, ect. If i'm hunting, I'll carry a fixed blade with me. Generally a Buck (Vanguard,Kalinga,Mentor) but I have several fixed blades of different makers to choose from. No shortage of blade over here...

Kershaw Alaskan Blade Trader.  I don't leave home without it.  Quit carring my Victorinox multi tool a few years back.  Used is very little and haven't missed it either. dino

Leatherman Wave is always on my belt, usually a Benchmade Snipe, or Columbia River M16 folder in my pocket, and one of a multitude of fixed blades that I carry when actually hunting. Oh, and there's often another one or two more knifes scattered about my person, (neck,and/or boot). What can I say, I'm a knife freak  :cool:

[**DONOTDELETE**]

My everyday carry is a Cold Steel Vaquero. Mean 5" serrated blade. Sharpest knife I have ever held. I teach knife/gun/self-defense to law enforcement personnel and know the importance of carrying a knife. I've been also looking at a Browning Stag Big Game. The one with the Saw, Gut Hook, and Blade. Kind of expensive though.

Leatherman Surge.  My son says I carry too many knives but this is the one I always have with me.  I've used a Leatherman of one type or another to cut up more animals than any other knife I have.  The Surge has two good working blades and a very good saw for bone.  It is quite handy for trimming those evil limbs from my shooting lane.  The diamond sharpener is great for touching up a broadhead or a knife edge in the field.

Have you ever noticed how often you get a shot when you forget to bring a knife?

This may seem like over kill but I carry a leatherman on my belt. A folding gerber knife in my pocket. A folding saw, two more knives for field dressing and skinning in my day pack. I belive in being prepared for almost anything....lol

I wear a Leatherman original. I've had it for years. Cleaned-quartered and deboned 2 elk and I don't how many deer with it. It's a great package.I always carry another knife,but,I've never had to use the back up yet. Holds a good edge.

Sent my Leatherman back in to the factory couple months back to have a screw put in. Lost the original and replaced it with a hardware screw. That Leatherman was 13 yrs old, and gone thru 3 holsters. They sent me a brand new one in exchange. I carry it everday  and use it several times a day. In addition I carry either a Kershaw folder or one of many sheath knives. Plus every quiver has a knife and every BP shooting bag has a knife. Plus my van has a folder on the dash at all times and a Case hunting knife in the back in case of ??. I guess I'm knife silly.lol.

boker folding hunter, case trapper, leatherman wave

[Over&Under]

leatherman charge for me, with pocket clip, along with regular hunting knives

[Mike Orton]

For a major hunt, like elk in the wilds, I carry a Knives of Alaska 2 knife set, (either the Light hunter w/ cub knife or the Brown bear w/ the cub knife.  More importantly though is the Gerber Urban Legend multi-tool.

For an Archer/Bowhunter I can't think of a better multi-tool.  I particularly like the cutter the Urban Legend offers.  It's made of Carbide and is replaceable.

I have carried for years a custom Emerson folding knife, to me its the best knife made, period. As for as multi tools one with diamond edge file is great for touching up BH's...      

[Taiga Recurve]

My EDC is a Camullis Heat (robo assist folder), a Leatherman Wave. When I go into the field, my additions are, gerber saw, BK7 (fixed blade), and a Becker Necker.
