Absolute tank of a knife. It's what I graduated up to from a Mora nearly 6 years ago and I couldn't ask for anything more in a knife.
Feels nice in the hand, sturdy as fuck, holds an edge well. The spine is nice and square so it will scrape a ferro rod well.
Can't say enough good things about it. One of these plus and Opinel and you're golden.

I use my oldtimer mostly for gutting fish and the Callimus for everthing else. During my last trek inda woods I used the Calimus for 2 days straight for cutting down and splitting trees about 2-3 inches in diameter and it still retained a nice sharp edge at the end of it all.

It's a good knife to have in your collection, but most knife enthusiasts will tell you to have a broad range of tools (knives) for their respective jobs.

My Kabar has been solid, and will last long. But there are thicker knives that will be better for batonning wood, and smaller knives for dressing game, ect.

I've got several knives that go /out/ with me and it's hard to pick a favorite. I went car camping and canoeing at Lake Granby and did a little hiking in RMNP last week and took pic related. The handle is made from cedar from a branch in my back yard that was broken in an ice storm a few years ago and the blade is a cheap Pakistani-made blank from north coast knives that actually holds an edge fairly well.

Before you guys pick on me for car camping, let me explain. My wife has MS and can't innawoods the way she used to, so we're limited in that respect. Our family still goes /out/, we took a noob kid who hadn't ever slept in a tent before with us, and fuck you if you think you have to be completely survivalist or bushcrafter to enjoy being /out/.

Need to complete my /out/ knife set.

Have a leatherman wingman, a mora, now i need something heavy duty.

Don't want to spend a buttload of change, but i'm currently considering these 3 from cheapest to most expensive:

>kabar usmc (leather sheath)
>becker bk7 (nylon sheath)
>cold steel srk (secure ex sheath, plastic of sorts)

any recommendations?

Of those three, go with the Becker for heavy duty use. The USMC knife does have a stick tang, which is weaker than the wide tang on the bk-7. The SRK is VG1 San Mai III, which is a sandwiched steel from a manufacturer whose heat treatment I don't trust very much. If it was all VG1 I might consider it.

AUS8 is pretty good knife steel if it's heat treated correctly. It's similar to 440B, and the AUS steels are like the 440 steels in that they'll all make a very good blade (yes, even 440A) if they get good heat treatment and very shitty knives without it.

I have a Camillus folder with a VG10 blade that takes a good edge and retains it fairly well.

I bought one of those (Camillus-made) at the PX at Reese AFB in the mid-1980s. I still take it /out/ more often than any other knife I own. It's a little brute and will serve you well. Sand the leather a bit and protect it with a good oil. Put a convex edge on it. It'll never be your best tomato slicer, but it'll never fail you if you trreat it like a knife..

I looked at K Bar, E-3, E-4 and E-5. I wanted something long enough yet not huge like E-6. Comfortable grip and has blade finger choil that allows me to hold the blade differently for carving etc.

I also like the shape of the blade. In person, the LS is stunning and very balanced. I'm glad I went with it. Having the emergency fire kit built into the tang compartment is a pure /out/ thing. Love it.

I also got the emergency pouch and OD sleeve kit.

Please don't buy knives like these guys. When you are working on a tough piece of wood or rope, your fingers will slip without a choil or finger groove. Imagine working that knife in wet conditions, kiss your digits goodbye.

In /out/ situation, a cut from a sharp knife is deadly.

I've decided on getting a TOPS Viper Scout for my primary blade.

The problem is, I don't know which version to get. Should I get the antique micarta handle scales, as seen here, or should I get...

I prefer to use sharp knives. It's safer than bearing down and using it incorrectly, but thanks for the safety tip.

Amazing how much grip top shelf scale materials like bead blasted canvas micarta have, even when your hands are sweaty. Neckbeards neckbeard though.

I had a Leek AO that jammed with dirt so bad the spring couldn't push the blade open. My current EDC is pretty bombproof, but the edges of the spine are slightly rounded off. I don't think it qualifies as an /out/ knife. $400, and I really don't care either.

Do explain how I'm going to slice off my fingers on >>344929. Remember that I know how to use a knife, don't make unnecessary push cuts, and don't stab people with it. Almost all of your cuts should be pull/draw (depending on which term you prefer) cuts. That means your hand, if it slips, will come off the back of the handle, not past the handle and onto the blade.
