Knife advice please.

Would like to get a mean looking knife to go camping with, but something that is practical too. Possibly something to butcher meat and saw through wood if needed. Any recommendations?

 

Gransfor bruks small forest axe

Bacho laplander folding saw

frosts mora bushcraft knife

Thats what i use and will cover nearly all the tasks youll likely need

 

Get a pocket chainsaw was going to be my reply, thoughts of a mini chainsaw sprang to mind. I Googled it and there is a pocket chainsaw out there but not a petrol one.

 

too quick Para. Iwas just about to say this one is for you.

 

Thanks Para. This was aimed with you in mind!

 

what you want is one of these. It has a survival kit packed into the handle, so if you fall out of any helicopters you can sew yourself back up.

I wouldn't try to elude a police manhunt with anything less than this.

 

When you get one - you'll be able to cut the sleeves off your shirt and make a headband!!!

 

can't beat a good Rambo knife. There is not a bushman craft which can't be performed with one, carving your name on trees, cutting heads off worms, split knackers etc - its a great knife which can help you if you get lost too. The one I had even had a nail file in it

 

Demonstration and review of the Pocket Chainsaw

head and knob, not necessarily in that order springs to mind

 

I wonder how that would have fared on the sheets of ply-wood at last years winter camp??? :- :- :-

As said the big old type survival knife are cool to look at but useless but if you want to look cool how about

Right ive given this a bit of thought now and if you really must have a manly looking knife

Id reccomend the MOD survival knife

Its a chunky cumbersome knife for small tasks but will do them to an acceptable standard
There built tough and strong and are excelent at battoning log rounds into knidling
