Where's ya tool? ?

[Jonjon79 13,358]

I've not had much chance to get out so far this year but, last night, while I was getting my kit ready, I was thinking that a good useful knife is invaluable

 

I thought it would be interesting to see everyone carries in their kit .........

 

I never have to do any bushcraft type stuff with mine (I'm too much of a fidget arse to sit in a hide for too long). I really only need one for unzipping a rabbit or squirrel or, breasting a pigeon.

 

about 4yrs ago, I picked up a little black keyring lock knife - it was £3, in a tub on a counter in some shop.

it's got a little 1.5", razor sharp blade. It's easy to sharpen on an oil stone and, it's never let me down

 

A couple of years ago, the missus bought me a nice little Damascus knife, with some sort of posh wood handle for my birthday.

The blade on this is just shy of 3". The handle is small but, sits perfectly in the first 3 fingers.

It's sharp and, feels easy to control.

The leather sheath is thick and secure.

 

last year, our very own Davy Thomas, made me a knife from O1 tool steel.

The blade is 4 3/4" and, the scales are made from my favourite blue, black and grey laminate with brass pins.

He even made the Kydex sheath himself - the knife clicks into it for a really secure fit

 ........ And, the edge on the blade is like a feckin scalpel

 

Yet, the funny thing is, it's always the little 3 quid jobby that comes out hunting

 

There's definitely a pride of ownership thing with the other 2 and, they're more than capable of doing what I need but, I'll be no where near as gutted if I lose the little one.

Mine knife set up is quite simple, I have a mora for general duties and a gerbet filleting for prep/skinning, although I also carry a hooked Stanley blade which is useful when skinning

The mrs bought me a really nice Enzo for Xmas, but I'd hate to lose it so I stick with the good old Mora for most stuff.

I know a couple of lads that like Stanley's

....... Cheap and easy to switch blades when needed - it makes sense.

I use an outdoor edge hybrid hunter for everything from rabbits to deer, awesomely sharp, and after use a few strokes on a diamond hone and its scalpel sharp again.
