I saw the thread for knives already, but I was wondering more about large knives for chopping wood, fire making, shelter making. I was looking at the ESEE Junglas and the RTAK II with 5160 steel as well as a few others. What are your guy's preferences for large knives and why? Will a knife like that make my outings easier, or should it be replaced by ax or a smaller knife?
I usually do through hiking (hike into a camp sight for a night and leave the next day) for 2-4 days around Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia. I've also done a few 2-3 week trips and I really want to do a trip where I build my own shelter. I've also gone out to New Mexico and am planning on going up north to the Southern Canada/Northern U.S. area too.
Any advice?
