What's /k/'s favorite innawoods knife?
I picked up an ESEE 6 a few weeks ago and I finally got a chance to use it. Other than a few fine cuts for tenderloins and the back strap, it wasn't too much knife to clean a deer.
I also value the ability to baton fire wood, as rarely as I may need to. It's nice to have the option.

I don't carry one knife innawoods. Depending on what's needed, I'll pick one from the following selection:
-Mora for fine work
-BK2 for heavy work
-heavy duty russkie folder for backup (and it's portable enough to throw in a pocket)

That pattern 07 Enfield sword bayonet is probably my favorite blade, on cool factor alone.

I looked at that same BK2 at the store, but decided on the ESEE; I think I liked a more conventional blade profile since my primary task with it will be skinning game animals.

Back in the 1980s, a journalist asked Tom Brown jr, if he had to survive in the wild and he could only have one knife, what would it be. As a result, Brown designed the famous (or infamous) wilderness survival knife, a.k.a. the Tom Brown Tracker.
If I could only have one knife, that would not be the tracker.
If I could only have one knife it would be this thing, LTWK Next Gen. Basically a scalled down version of the Genesis, with a 3'' blade, full flat grind, and a superb handle that is very comfortable in every position I can imagine - saber, hammer, pinch (both guiding the tip and not), and reverse of all three (for chest pulls, cutting from below, etc.).
It does everything (except chopping, and heavy batoning, obviously) - edc, bushcraft, it will get shavings/strike a ferro rod (ltwk spines are legendary).

Nigger rigged pocket wave style opener.
Works pretty much as nicely as a real one and it's far less likely to get stock on your pocket and slice your leg open.
It's great if you're lazy or if AO/Auto folders are illegal where you live.

I would not.
I once had a GI Tanto snap on me and slice my hand.
I wouldn't even dream of pushing their folders.

Good little knife.
>>28030504
to be fair, it is a bit of a glorified Izula 2. Similar size, also has a nice, full handle. The next gen is just more comfortable for me.
Condor mini bushlore is another option here, though the handle is just an inch too short to be as good.
Honestly - in the 60-80 dollar range you can find a number of really nice blades. 120-200 dollars is premium stuff, pushing the envelope, and all that marketing jazz (not to say it isn't worth it), and above that is just paying extra for jewelery.
Really, the biggest deal with LTWK for me, is that when you think about things like TOPS BAJA 4.5, B.O.B., or HOG, with their $180 price tag, and then realise you could buy a genesis for $170, there's just no contest.

>being this dumb
really? Are you even trying? So the only "valid" thing to do is buy a $400 piece of pocket jewelery?
Not to mention the fundamental stupidity of comparing LTWK, HI, and even solid mid-tier knives like tops/esee/BM/ZT to a cheap burger.
Most of my knives were purchased because I wanted that one, specifically (looking at you, tbt), sometimes with extra costs because EU (so my $185 HI became a $255 order because shipping costs).
Yeah, I could buy fewer, more expensive knives, but, frankly, I see no point. You get dimiishing returns in terms of quality once you go above $150, and there isn't a single CRK design that would even pique my interest, if that's what you're getting at.

You haven't changed a bit.
I'm a fan of the RAT 4 as well. Mine is issued and has seen some shit.
>>28032346
I only respond to the sebongomeme with "learn quality". If you were under the impression that I consider everything "not ltwk" to be inferior, then that's miscommunication. LT is hardly the only quality knifemaker.
That said - LT Wright does make great quality knives - with sharp 90 degree spines (if you care about striking ferro rods) and very good heat treat.
On the other hand - Rowen (which makes knives for ESEE now) also turns out good quality knives, and they're not the only one.

Some serious wear anon, well done. That's what for what tools are made, to use it. Not like 90% of /k/ does and treat knives like precious jewels or some shit.
>>28031425
Yeah because the EU is all just one nation right?
Czech republic for one does not even have knives mentioned in their weapons legislation, so anything goes.
You could carry a 15in Bowie knife concealed or openly if you wanted.
People will probably look at you funny but it is legal.
While in Texas you can not carry a Bowie at all.

>>28032181
I couldn't find an actual picture of mine, still haven't taken one, so that was the closest one. Mine has a wooden (not sure what kind) glossed and stained handle with a brass guard. But where as the blade starts to curve on the back side, mine is straight. It comes with a nylon covered sheathe with a belt loop attachment and a s&w full name logo on it

>>28035444
I can't carry a hatchet. I'm not the biggest strongest guy in the world and my kit is just barely on the edge of being too heavy for me to carry as it is. I can't afford an extra 2-5 pounds. And a "pack ax" or whatever you call those tiny hatchets does very little that my TOPS B.O.B. can't do. And I've never had a problem preparing firewood with my knife, so I would say if you can't baton with your knife, then yes, it is worthless.

>>28037469

Why do people do this?
>>28037482
because it provides a nice straight edge to do finer cutting with.
I usually used it to help strip cable that was too short to get the whole knife behind
>>28030218
Ive been carrying this for about 5 years now. Fucking love it. If I ever lose it or break it somehow, I'm just gonna get another one. Although probably without the serrations next time.
>>28037438
>my kit is just barely on the edge of being too heavy for me to carry as it is
Post it
And the best part is they never mention thick prybar knives are almost always worse cutters than dedicated cutting knives.
And that 6 to 8 inch "military" knives are extremely niche in real life, and rarely used even in the military.

Splitting wood doesn't come up nearly as often as youtube makes it out to. And full flat is more universal than scandi grind (where on earth did you come up with the 10 times better bullshit?).
>>28026923
Puma Big cat Tanto. Pretty low quality knife, but it is extremely sturdy, and hefty. I have much better knives but they are smaller than i would like for innawoods. I have a razor sharp Wtterlings hatchet id bring before a knife though, can slice paper with it after chopping down a tree no problem, so thats my go to innawoods tool.
>>28026923
Not my innawoods knife but I use it for guttin stuff. Blade gets dull swap on a new one, and then when ya get a chance resharpen.

You fucking retard, EU is not a country.
In Poland I can legally carry a two-handed sword on my back if I fucking want to, and cops can't do shit to me, as long as the blade is covered so I don't accidentally hurt people.
And I'm not making it up, I have friends who are in medieval knighthood clan, they sometimes carry their swords to training on their backs.
