Favourite, NON scandi knife

[Robbi]

This one gets the occasional outing, I like it a lot, Opinel style lock up and very robust.

Any of my Dave Budds, or my Randall 23, Gamemaster.

I've pretty much exclusively carried a puukko for the past few years, except when backpacking. But, as far as non-scandi knives, these are my favorite and go to knives. Both are convex grinds.

Alex Jivan Aberg style knife. A very nice and robust knife that for me, is a great general purpose knife that can do it all.

The other is a Bark River Ultra-Lite Bushcrafter that has been changed to a full height convex, which I feel cuts much better than the original "scandivex". It's such a lightweight and useful knife, and although somewhat small, is capable of performing like a bigger knife. It is my first choice for when I'm heading on a backpacking trip.

Hmm, depends on the situation but what probably gets the most use is my Randall #10-3, although my Randall #18-5.5 is my true love and for the real heavy stuff my Svord Golok seems to handle anything from felling trees to slicing tomatoes...

My SAK Solo is with me almost everytime I leave the house. Brilliant knife for the price. If it had a "sportier" steel and be easily disassembled, I wouldn't consider another folder.

My Esee Izula 2 is good if a little thick stocked.

I have a lot of cutting tools/toys. And I would have to say that my favourites are some ESEE variations, perhaps the rescaled 4. I have a Condor Bushlore coming in and I look forward to using that. A knife doesn't have to be expensive or fancy for me to appreciate its utility. I like Opinels for what they are.
