I found an amazing knife last spring
That is the link for the kukri that theycarry. It is rugged and made of nice carbon steel. For 20 bucks you can't beat it for a solid camp knife. Mine has seen alot of camping time this summer, from the NC mountains to the hills of Alabama when I went to visit family.

What I have is what I use
Here are the blades I use. Each has a task & purpose, some have been with me 20+ years, others only a few months. A good knife can be your best friend. I am no expert on knives, but as a retired army ranger with over twenty years service I can tell you what has worked for me.
1. Swiss Army Knife. By far, this is the knife I have used more than any other and it is the same one I purchased in the shoppette at Harmony Church in 84. If I had to have only one knife, this would be it. edc.
2. Benchmade lockblade folder: With the partial serrated blade, this has been handy around the rope and I suspect would make a good small fighting blade. It is edc for me.
3. A good short-blade machete (Back of photo): this one I purchased in Panama in 86; cheap, cheap, cheap, it has done what gov't issued blades could not. Key to good cutter, or any other blade is keeping an edge, a firm grip, and a strong arm.
4. Cold Steel SRK: A proven fighting knife, nothing else to say.
5. Gerber folding saw: Purchased in 93, one of the first from gerber; it has been an incredible performer and has cut small trees (largest about six inch dia.) on four continents.
5. Gerber CRK (CHERRY Blade); New addition, but I have been very impressed; excellent lashing points, thick, heavy blade. Look forward to giving it a workout soon in Uwharrie.
6.Gerber Gator junior machete (CHERRY): Also a new addition, love the handle, but the scabbard is weak; I can already see myself making a new one; this goes to Uwharrie also.
These are my blades; they are what have worked for me, some for a very long time and some when my life depended on it. Everyone will have different experiences and a different opinion and these are mine, for what they are worth. One last thing, when you buy a knife, if at all possible, handle it first and see if it fits, if it feels right for you, and then learn how to use it. Multi-tools are another story. Suggest moving this thread to Knives & Blades. Thanks for reading, take care.

I'm partial to Bucks, Kabars, and old United Cutlery (pre Chi-Com) for reasonable price and durability.....Carbon steel only, if you can find it....I hate that 440 SS crap, but sometimes it's all you can find.....I also like the Kershaws for pocket folders...."I Have Sworn Upon the Altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." -Thomas Jefferson
