What are your minimum edged tools?

[The Heretic]

Agreed!! Car camping / motorhome or trailer, I always have a chain saw.

This saw would be too big for camping.

That pic was taken about 100 feet from my house.

I still have about 3 or 4 cords of firewood logs left over from the thinning I had done.

I got this yesterday:

This is the Schrade small tang Kurki

IMO it sucks.

I should have listened to the reviewers and my instincts. The tang/handle is entirely TOO small. I can grip it, but the balance is totally off, and the handle is so small and thin that is just isn't workable.

Oh well, live and learn. If you don't try something then you just won't know

Try wrapping the handle with paracord...

Try wrapping the handle with paracord...

I could wrap it with a number of things, but it is just too small.

Besides, I don't like to wrap knives with paracord; if you are butchering an animal/fish, the blood soaks into the paracord and this can not only make it a mess, but it can infect other food with any number of diseases.

I'll give or barter it to somebody with smaller hands who feels they want a smaller kukri style blade.

I have quite a number of knives and I am always buying some if they interest me. I am going to get the new Schrade SCHF36

Granfors Bruks small forest Axe and Essee #3 fixed blade go everywhere with me outdoors.

Both small and lightweight but very efficient at cutting and chopping.
Barber shop strop sharpening keeps em shaving sharp.

Edged tools usage... a bit of a rant
