Camp knife what do you use and why?

[Hugo]

Nothing large at Hugo towers, well apart from axes.
This is what I use lately well something along the lines with Walnut handles, as I gave the top one to a friend just after Christmas.

My design, blade supplied by FGYT, i like it as an all-rounder, and i find the handle very comfortable.

the blade is 52100 and the scales are g10 with stainless fittings.

A question if you dont mind.

Why the steeply swept point, and not mor gentle like a leuku?

with the intention of this tool being used very hard, the tip is swept that way to enable prying, chiseling, other things. the balance is to front heavy to use that portion of the blade for fine work, which is why the blade near the ricasso is narrower, to aid finer work.

Great, thanks, well thought out!

that's not far away from an MOD hacking knife as it is!

This is the same as the one josh posted but wasnt keen on the tip so had it modified. I found if i was using two hands to push the blade down it was stabbing into my hand on the tip.

Here's my baby.

Great looking knife Rob!I'm making one similar,just a little shorter. Even as just a blank it feels great in the hand.Darren.

I asked the same a while ago. Ended up with a leuku and loved it. Just last week i got hold of a FGYT Nessie and got to say it does everything apart from really delicate work for which i have just ordered one of his smaller knives.

mate you will love that smaller nessie i love mine so much never thought in a million years out of all the knives i have thatr would be the one that i love, thought the shape was mad at first untill youi stary to use it, and i use it every day, in the shope for prepping woof for the wood burner, and then when out in the woods, the only thing that i have not tryed it for yet, is prepping some game, but i just no it will do that to.

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Thinking about the smaller nessie as well but the one i ordered is the DSP. Very sharp, very pointy.

i have only just realised that i have quite a few knives of varying kinds, will have to get them out, clean them up, post pics and get laughed at!

apart from my mora (who would dare) and my new, nearly adopted F1
