Why are y'all picking on some thirteen year old kid? :mad:
Butt out Sam!:mad: If you don't like it here you don't need to stay! The young man is going to learn properly if he wants to survive, ok? Anymore flaming on the mods & you'll be gone! I've had your nonsense up to here! Oh, BTW, you're not 13 are you?:mad:Quote:

This is y'all natural dispostion anyway since the 'Wolf Pack" is really just a bunch of half breed mutts anyway.
Here's what I think about politics:

And here is what I think of y'all:

As per your request; BTW, I didn't know he was 13 until he mentioned his age in another thread, but that doesn't give anyone the right to be disrespectful. And no one's "beating up" on him by being firm. Also, we're not yelling, but being assertive. 'bye.:cool:Quote:

The one I trully rely on? My Sog and my srk carbon and soon a mora crafstmen 740 carbon to test lol
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 addict just like me.
sarge- i have lots of knifes but most of them need to be sharpened.. and yes im allowed to use them.. .. and i will try that search thing now considering that i just found it.
Very good, when you get the hang of the search feature. also check on "knife sharpening". It may help.:cool:Quote:

ok maybe that didn't come out right the only thing i think could be better is the puukko. i heard there very good and they look pretty nice to.but the pathfinder is a great knife for everything.
Ah don't worry about it Bibow I was just having a little fun. If you like the knife, that's all that matters. As the saying goes - if it works for you, then it works for me.
Still, that was a pretty good laugh. I've been guilty of the, "dang, that didn't come out right" syndrome myself a time or three.
ya gotta hate when that happens
:) What's also frustrating is when you spend ages composing a beautiful post, with well thought out and insightful comments, then sit back to wait on the applause. Only to find people arguing with you, and responding to opinions you didn't express.
What? What are they talking about? I didn't say that, I said...well, let me take a look and see what I did say. Here it is, I said...oh. Well, that's not what I meant. :D
People here arguing? Say it ain't so.
OK Catfish - here ya go.

That's not true, Catfish. You can't go off like that and make some accusation against the forum and.....just kidding.
What are you talking about? That's not what I meant! Hang on, let me go see what I wrote. Oh.
:D

Nice collection Dave!
Thanks for the comments everyone.
Lots of research went into the collecting. I learned early on, to ask
questions, and to listen to the advice of those who know.
That and being lucky to get some good deals has allowed me to score some
good knives.
Now, I have to figure out which ones to put into my kit.
I've been trying to go by the rule of 3's, but when it comes to knives, it's
pretty difficult. I like them all, too much :)
In addition to the collection of knifes, I've got one of those break down
Swede Saws to add into the mix somewhere.
For the kit I'm putting together, I'm thinking:
Saw (the breakdown Swede, or a folding Buck or Gerbers pruning type saw)
Chopper (Hatchet or Chopping knife)
Medium size knife (General duty)
Small knife and/or Leatherman
Being new to this, any and all suggestions are welcome.
Critique and commentary will get a guaranteed read.
I'm going to be posting pictures of my kit, such as it is, in a separate post,
sometime this weekend for everyone to check out and give suggestions on.
Thanks again for the comments on my small knife collection.
Cheers.
Dave
As far as which to chose to put in your kit - just remember that the knives are tools (it's been said elsewhere and many times). Choose the right tools for the jobs that you may need to do out of your kit (sounds like that's what you're doing).
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.
I carry a lighter and a pocket knife with me at all times. Just a "what if" kind of thing mostly but they are both still tools I do use a lot. Anyway if I were going out in the woods for a camping trip or just to test my skills I'd take that and a larger fixed blade. It's just smart.
The real question is: Machete or hatchet? I say a machete is very useful and could be used to take down small trees or cut up fallen wood for fire but since we already have a large fixed blade a hatchet would be better. Hammer on one end and bone breaking tree cutting blade on the other.
I almost always carry a pocket knife with me. A big exception is if I visit a school where there are often times zero tolerance "do not pass go, go directly to jail for a long time" laws in place. Wonder how many folks have violated that by leaving some fishing stuff with a fillet knife as part of it in the trunk.Quote:

IMO you can get just about the same ammout of cutting power with a good kukri as you can witha machete. PLus they're smaller and fit on your belt. There wicked effective, and you really get a deep appreciation for them when you read about their history. FOr a chopper I'll almost always recommend a kukri, but that's just because they've worked so well for me. I'm getting a new one from Nepal, but it takes FOREVER to ship it.
There sure are a lot of post here, but I will have to say, CRKT is the Best! I love to collect them. I want to get as many as I can.
CRKT seems to make good knives. I've been looking at the First Strike for a long time. I like the Japanese style they use, I'm just not too sure about the steel. I'ts 440 A. I've read some negative stuff about that steel, but I have to think that if they used it in that knife it'd have to work well. I don't acatually won one of their knives though.
A knife for survival means your life, buy the BEST you can afford. Benchmade, RAT survival or Falkniven all make great sheath knives.
A smaller super-sharp folder is very useful, like Spyderco's Caly Jr or Sage too.
