>>2358270my opinion:
a fillet knife for filleting ($10 mora)
a carving knife for carving [$10 mora)
a general purpose camp knife [$10 mora (companion, i prefer the standard not HD it's too thick))
if i know i'm only cutting food packaging i bring an utility knife (image related)
the notion that your knife is the #1 super uber ultra important part of your gear that your life depends on every time you go /out/ is only due to marketing since the 70's. i will not read any replies.
it's perfectly fine to have knives as an interest, like you'd collect and use fancy watches.
