I know puukos and other nordic knives have been mentioned several times, but I really have to say that that's what I prefer. A good Scandi-grind knife can really save the day sometimes. |
I can wholeheartedly recommend this knife: http://www.kellamknives.com/index.php?main_pa...cts_id=792
It is slightly shorter and handier than the old model which I have. The spine is 5 mm thick, still, because of the scandi grind, it can be sharpened to razor sharpness if you want. The older modell was sharp enough straight out of box, with couple of swipes with diamond sharpener and leather strop it shaved my arm hair with ease.
My son and I have used and abused it on several occasions, especially my son on his scouting trips. It is still going strong. Good sheath, sturdy construction, rust resistant coating, cuts well, easy to sharpen, non-slip rubber handle. What more can you want?
