Thanks Robbi,
I can def see how a collection begins now as they are a piece of art really.
Its funny as ive never had a bit of interest in them before now.
Lets hope the weather at weekend is like today so i can finally get out and about.

You started with a nice blade there....when I started down this path it was cheap market stall jobs and a few rust blades from a flea market...i was still hooked....

 

[Erbswurst]

Put some leather balm on the sheath from both sides, let it suck in, and polish it afterwards before you use it.

NO!
He already got a good knife and doesn't need others!

Perhaps additional a Victorinox Compact and that's it.

That's a bushcraft forum here and no blade junky club!

I love your passion man, but fear not, i seriously have no intention of buying any other knives.
I have spent a good amount on a list of gear for wild camping and like the idea of carrying only what i will need and use.

We have all been there and said the same words, even to our loved ones, looking them in the eye, promising that's all I'll ever need.....just wait....

Hahaha I get it man I really do.
Some of those knives are stunning but I'm good with one, I swear.

 

[Robbi]

it's a good general all round knife ... enjoy

but ......

you'll need a thinner blade ... 2mm ish .... for food prep and slicing

you'll need a bigger thicker blade for camp dutys ( battening wood for fire prep etc )

you'll need a slim dexterous knife ( bird and trout ) for game prep

then you'll need a small pocket knife for those jobs ......

and an axe ( or 4 )

welcome

fixed blade knives are great but i think you will find a folder a far more useful tool, not just for bushcraft but most days

 

[Erbswurst]

I admit that, depending on what one wants to cook, an Opinel No8, or even No9 if one doesn't go for hiking alone, as folding kitchen knife might be a good addition.

But I do such food preparation with the Victorinox Compact, the in my opinion best way to carry nail scissors and convincing kitchen multitool.

EDIT:
My Opinel No8 Carbone did see, what I was writing here and shouted, that it is also a bushcraft knife, and a good one on top.
I just write it here, because I don't want to get problems at home and / or should I return to France after the lockdown.

Looks like a nice knife

 

[Brizzlebush]

That's a great tool. It should serve you well.
