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

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

Most all of my knives are rubber overmold of one sort or another. As long as it is grippy when wet, then I like it. Metal is cold and is a heat sink, so not good in the cold or after sitting in the sun. I have a few all metal long guns (except for a plastic hand grip) that are not comfortable to shoot when very cold or after sitting in the sun in the summer - wish I could have them coated in rubber in certain strategic places, especially where I have a cheek weld.

For knives I always look for rubber/TPE/et. al. - it doesn't have to beet spongy or thick like many Cold Steel knives, just enough to get a good grip when wet and not freeze to my wet hands or gloves when sub-zero temps hit.

Because I like to make things mine, I ordered a different set of handles and sheath for my Esee PR4 Camp Lore. Made by the Knife Connection. @Longwalkhome

Forgot to add the Blade Teck Tek Lok for S.O.B. carry.

Camp/survival/bushcraft... my favorite genre of knives. Pretty much whittled my selection down to a few that just tickle my fancy. ESEE 6, Ka-Bar (of course), Navy Mk 3 (not the one I was issued way back when, but same company's model), the Glock field knife (for you Glock fanboys), a Mark Hazen Legion (more of a tactical knife, but it's cool), Snake Blocker Apache Falcon (tough as hell) and the SP-2 (the improved AFSK, got a few of them, but meh).

I LOVE this thread and HATE it!
Love seeing all the knives because I'm an addict and hate it because it makes me want to buy more!!!

Chris at Iron Ridge made the blacksmith knife for me. There's a NOS Colt bayonet in there, the Browning bowie is Chinese crap, but it's stamped Browning so...
The Rat 4, the Esee Junglas and the Ontario TAK have TKC custom scales.
Only a few have been used, most are pretty minty.
I live in the woods and no longer camp, so I may trade or sell some since they just sit in a drawer. It's a waste of good knives.

I think I got mine at either Knife Center or Blade HQ. @The Heretic's link is as good as any, they're not hard to find.
I'm surprised they're not more popular.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

They look like a good all around knife or even a EDC...neat in any event...and yeah one would think that they would be more popular.

Liked it enough to order one.

I would have wished that it added some jimping and a bit to the thumb on the bolster, but I do love the carbon steel.

Personally; a Kukri, next a KaBar and then maybe for a third a high carbon steel GP 4" knife

KaBar Kukri - there you go, you don't even need to buy two knives:

@bralko85 , what's the paracord on the hatchet do?
I might have to throw a wrap on my small ax, because I like the look. Just wondering if I'm missing a legit reason.
Thanks.
