The Dedicated Fixed Blade Camp/Survival/Bushcraft Knife thread.

[HA556]

I thought this would be a fun thread to do. Lets see your fixed blade camp/survival/bushcraft knives. Remember, fixed blade so, no folders and such. I'll start:

1. Custom made hand forged camp chopper
2. Puma SGB 6396 Bowie
3. Ka-bar/Becker/Esee BK14
4. Esee PR4 Camp Lore (New to me today and will be my primary)
5. Cold Steel SRK SK5

If you have photos of your knives in action around camp, field use etc. etc. Please post 'em up!

I had a really sweet Gerber Mk.1 dagger back in the day that I had to unfortunately leave behind, because we had to di-di out of there before I could dislodge it from a dude's eye socket.




Ok, not really.

I use my el cheapo Firebird all the time. Have multiples of them in cars and camp sets. including the original I bought when they first came out that has seen many backpacking trips. After I vetted the first, I bought the others. Great knife. Pic from internet.

Another pilot survival knife.
I can't believe how many times I walked right by them back in the 80s and didn't jump for $10.
Kicking myself now.

No kidding. I've got several that I picked up before things started getting nuts. One for each vehicle. I used to carry one with my gear in the field back in the day. It was the Rambo knife before there was a Rambo knife.

The OG cold steel srk gets plenty of use, the Ontario rd7 is probably the most widely useful of the bunch.
The 2 bk3s I honestly don't think are very practical at all (I've never had to escape a burning vehicle with my knife)
The short blade esse rides around with me constantly, but has never been used.
The 2 on the end are toys. The cold steel recon tanto is brand new last week.

I have a Benchmade Nimravus for fixed blade needs.

You ever go out in the cold with them aluminum handle scales?
Honest question, not clowning you.

Not really. That's a good question and something I hadn't thought of......

I love the canvas micarta stuff. It's good with or without gloves on.

Digging around my gear, I forgot this old classic Western 66. Needs a better sheath and sometimes I let my son use it. Trying to keep it in good shape for possibly a grandson.

Look for straight up replacement scales too.
Nothing says obsessive hobby like spending money on upgrades.
