This is my personal opinion only. Any combination tool is a little of this, little of that and a whole lot of nothing. I have never seen a combination tool that will do the work of separate tools....

FVR is right on. I guess the AF knife is ok, I have one and don't care for it, personal preference. I have an Ontario style Kabar and it bent easily at the guard. My retired Kabar is 45yrs old and is...

You've got that right. When I was a kid everyone carried a Case XX pocket knife and except for youngsters nobody bothered carrying a fixed blade. You did everything that swam, walked or flew with one...

Think I posted somewhere before. Buy cut nails different sizes and drive into a dowel or homemade handle and shape on grinder keeping cool with water. Those nails are tempered and will hold a good...

Since I can break the handle out of a crowbar and I travel long range on an ATV I carry the right tool for the purpose intended. Now at home and make my own knives anyway I always have a few blades I...

Had mine since 1965 and I don't think I could replace it or my EK purchased at the same time and both well used for their intended purpose.

I have a bunch, use a few especially a SAK and carry a SOG Flash II for "emergencies" but I started making my own several years ago and actually have made better working knives from old saw blades...

Nepalese kukris after 1800 will always have a notch or kauri commonly referred to as a cho cut into the blade directly in front of the grip and bolster. The kauri is greatly disputed as to its...

The full thickness of a saw blade is plenty for a knife and the Dremel cuts very well even if it takes a couple of discs for each blade. With a good, long file draw filing removes lots of metal...

Blood Groove, the hump works like a good skinner, keeping the guts from getting cut. If you read the dimensions on the knife the blade is thin, but not flexible. Sears carried a small double bit axe...

I appreciate that. Those are made from a 10" carbide tipped saw blade, full tang. Handles are hardwood. Maple on the larger one and cherry on the small. I used 1/2" flooring scraps. Pins are brass...

Here are a couple I made for my grandson. That's the style I like, fits the hand, slices well, good skinner. It is not an axe or saw just a good style blade. If you want you can modify an Old Hickory...

Koster Nessmuk without a doubt. Just my personal opinion but you wouldn't believe the uses and punishment mine take. I don't plan on chopping with one, have other things for that.

You're getting as bad as some of us. Nasty habit but I have had it a long long time. Just wait until your biggest decision before you leave the house is which knives to take. Yep you're a knife...

I didn't know that Nell. He did have a site online a month or so ago. He uses the same material that I do so I was interested in his work and Caribou, ME is very familiar to me, saw it mentioned on...

I have seen him a couple of times on other knife forums. He lives in Caribou, ME last I heard. I have loads of friends and relatives (my Swedish side) in the area. He used old saw blades from local...

I usually find old saw blades, files and old truck springs, always can make something sharp and pointy for nothing. I get cherry, maple really any hardwood scraps to use as handles and any junk brass...

That sure beats my first. I like the pouch type myself. I couldn't tell if you put a welt in or not. Anyway it looks good to me.

Guess I will have to get one and give it a try. I've never used or even held one, I still use the old `60s USA Ontario and I guess I need to retire it.

I just gave up and started making my own. I get what I want. They are sharp and pointy and I can lose as many as I want. Haven't tried a folder yet and probably won't, too much trouble. If you have...

Whatever I have at the time. I generally make my own, can't get what I like without paying a small fortune.

If that link is right you ain't gonna get much for under $10. Go buy an Old Hickory just about anywhere under $10 and you will get a much better knife. If you can't make a sheath out of leather wrap...

Nessmuk style blades just moved up on my list. I have the ole USMC K-bar from '65. The John Ek that I bought back then and just about a bushel of Case, Hen & Rooster etc. The old couple of fixed...

I have dropped more than a few dollars on knives that were only good to clean my nails with. I bought whole display cases years ago of Case XX in and around DC. Some hardware stores I had to pay half...
