i will take two of the knives on the picture with me on my manly funtime trip with a few friends.
they will be used for:
cleaning game,
making wooden tools:(spearshaft, bowdrill, bow, arrows...)
processing food,
cutting whatever we need to cut.
which two would you take and why ?
from left to right:
opinel no. something
esee izula
crkt m16
real steel takin
d'eskabar
eskabar
real steel bushcraft II
real steel observer
esee 4
gek edc
martiini fishing knife
bkt bk2
Shit tier.
I can tell you based your purchases on what you saw on your daily YouTube dose of survival videos
>>30023018
all your fine edge knives look like they have dulled blades. bk2 and that mora-esqe knife is my choice
>>30023041
post your collection then and i will tell you in detail why your knives would be shitty and useless in my situation.
>>30023099
er you know what, the opinel over the mora. also please sharpen your fucking blades before buying a new one. get a razor dispenser if you want disposable edges
>>30023124
well nvm again, i see 2 reground edges. either way please sharpen the opinel. and sage because youve gotten enough bumps from me
>>30023142
hopefully not the mall ninja axes in that picture. zombie terminator 2000's
>>30023192
a wooden axe wont. calling something an axe, and functioning like an axe arent mutually inclusive
all metal axes go into the trash
poorly profiled axes into the trash
poorly weighted and ergo axes into the trash

You seem to enjoy folding knives... Alot.
Also, robust vs companion?
>>30023099
i dont see a mora.
some good, some bad
Some of those are good simple shit. Nothing too fancy, wouldn't feel bad using them.
I'd probably go with the Martini, I carry one of their Puukko's a lot for bushcraft. Great for making wood shavings, preparing rabbit, and striking a firesteel.
I have a Norlund axe I usually pair with it, I guess the closest thing I could use there would be the BK2. I'm not fond of the BK2, but it could work just fine for starting a split in a log to put a a wooden wedge in, maybe some chopping.
Despite what others say OP, you have some good stuff there.

The hammered one looks nice, albeit a bit boring

Thoughts on the 810 Contego?
>>30023553
was holding the schf36 in my hand when i clicked image
>>30023553
What's the orange handled one on the right familia
>>30023650
its nice, cheap and Chinese, but nice.
>>30024043
love it. that and the 0560 on the upper left are my favorite knives. I have been EDCing it since I got it 4 months ago.
>>30024068
it's a fucking heavy knife, didn't expect it to be so thick when I ordered it. I still like it though.
>>30024095
it's a ganzo g739, a benchmade griptillian knockoff. pretty good quality for $15. nothing like a bench made but still good.
>>30024166
Thats great to hear man, I've been really torn on either that or the 950 Rift for my very first Benchmade. any thoughts on that?
>>30024380
>950 Rift
personally I like the look of the 810 better, objectively I would say the grip profile on the 810 is better and the blade is slightly longer. I would get whatever you think looks cooler though. both will be good knives.
A lot of people say the grip is too aggressive on the 810 or that it is hard to get a good hammer grip purchase but I find it perfect in both cases. incredibly grippy and comfortable.
benchmade axis locks are fun to play with too.
>>30024539
is CPM M4 in the 810 that much better than benchmades 154CM in the 950?
>>30024565
I've never tried benchmades 154CM but so far the M4 has been insanely durable and has held an edge better than any other knife I own except maybe the 0560's Elmax steel. I haven't owned it long enough to compare it to that.
I haven't had to really sharpen it yet so I can't speak to that but I have heard it's not too hard to do. given how long the edge is lasting I wouldn't care if it took a lot longer than normal to sharpen anyway. Given it's use I would have had to sharpen 13mov or AUS8 at least 6 times over by now. pretty happy with it.
>>30025023
thats great to hear man, and the last question: the Contigo isnt too big for EDC Right? I Currently have a spyderco C07P that i have EDC'd, 9 inch+ overall, 5.6 OZ and it really was a breeze to carry. Though the spyderco will be thinner than this benchmade. Thoughts?
>>30025023
I haven't used this knife for obvious reasons, but i have used the nimvarus which is also 154cm.
As far as edge retention goes it's virtually indestructible for light use, and resistance as hell to heavy use.
I have no idea how to sharpen knives properly so i just send them back to benchmade when they get dull.
>>30023018
none of those knives have a gut hook 0/10
>>30023288
>Whatcha think
i think most of the knives posted on /k/ have been bought by kids with allowance money, birthday or holiday gift money, money earned from minimum wage jobs and i think most of you care more about quantity over quality.
this is also reflected in most of the posts people make in these knife threads.
