i have a mora in every bag

 

At least Mora and Kershaw camp in each.

 

In my bag or on my person, is my CRKT Drifter (my daughter just got me this for my birthday recently), Condor Bushlore, and a SOG Fixation.

Looking for a new pocket folder, thinking either Kershaw or CRKT. I am very seriously considering adding my @Bear machete to the bag in my truck.

 

brokor if i were u ...i would be carring that one @Bear made on my hip or back {crockidle dundee style} all the time ....
U better not disagree... we are on a role here!!!

 

LOL... Thanks for the kind comments @DarkLight @Yard Dart @ghrit @KAS and thanks for the pic... @Brokor always nice to see pics of the "orphans" and happy to hear they are finding their way into a place in your gear

 

In pouch on my side, Letherman super tool, Line man's sisers, & letherman parana tool,
On my keys. Letherman mini,
In mymwallet... small folding guber

In each bag, Mora, and guber machete,

in truck tool box, Hatchet, & tomahawk (cold steal), double bidder axe

All are... sharp!


Enough I think

 

35 year old Buck 110 a dog decided the pouch was a chew toy but the knife is still going strong.

 

My favorites:

-Australian Military machete, by far the toughest machete ever made.

-Gerber Mark I, dagger.

-Spyderco Atlantic Salt, will cut just about anything, quickly.

-Havalon Bolt and a Benchmade 162 Bushcrafter for game

 

I have a 1943 USMC machete that was carried across most of the Pacific by a friend's Dad. I also carry a Cold Steel Kukri, a 1972 Buck 110, and a Mora Clipper.

I'm a big fan of Case knives. The Trapper on top is the one I bought on the base PX back in '74. I've "lost" it several times in the past 40 years but somehow it keeps showing up. About 5 years ago I found a vintage Case Trapper in excellent condition complete with the fancy sheath at a local gun show. I'll admit the new-to-me one on the bottom spends more time on my belt than in the BOB. I prefer the Case Trapper because it has two distinct blades each has it's uses and with two blades I can keep one reserved so it remains sharp.


The K-Bar spends most of it's time in the pack waiting patiently to be called up for use.
K-bar useful for medium chopping and batoning for splitting larger wood.


Molle gear, sidearm and boolets go in a different pack.

 

Bear makes pretties. Neat.

I swear by a Mora Companion. Love Puukko. Always pack at least a tomahawk with me. Looking into some larger knives and daggers that will hold up, and suit my needs.

 

Wetterling axe, GB hatchet, Custom Kukri, Mora #2, Opinel, and a Corona saw.

Seems like a lot... until you spend some time out there with less. I guess I could be good with the saw and kukri. Maybe I'll try that next fall...

 

It depends, I do not have a dedicated bug out bag, but a bag that the contents change on the circumstances. So it might have a buck 110, a sog field pup, a buck 119, different types of swiss army knives, a leatherman or sog multitool. If the situation was to arise where I would be leaving my house, the destination is well stocked with all kinds of cutlery. In the truck a cold steel bolo machete, corona folding saw, and an eastwing hatchet are waiting to be used. My choices of what I am carrying are plenty. I have four pairs of shoes, almost always wear carhart t-shirts, three belts, one for dress, one for work and one for everyday, but I have tons of knives and different types of sharps, I could go the rest of my life and never have to buy another knife. My want list of knives grows weekly and will never be sated. When I was a child I was knife deprived and that unfortunate experience has turned me into the knife fiend I have grown into. Mothers do not let your children grow up to become a knife fiend like myself, make sure you sons do not grow up knife deprived or they will become knife depraved like me.

 

Eric Luther Knives custom made bush craft knife. 4.25" long 2"wide blade, 9" over all, 1/8" thick. CRKT M16 folder. Abiqua Hunter skinning knife and a Fremont Knives, Farson Blade. Sawvivor folding saw. Still deciding on the hatchet/axe I want to add.

 

Mora Companion, multi tool and an Ontario RAT5.
