My Knives

I am a very avid knife collector, and have a tool for every use. My daily pocket knife is a Gerber Cover Mini, designed by Rex Applegate and William Fairbairn. It's a medium sized locking folder. It is very well built, has a higher carbon content for longer lasting, more durable edge. About $35

My utility knife is a Ka Bar Ghurka Kukri. Better than any hatchet, and most axes. Heavy, but easily controlled. Holds an edge VERY well, and after being grounded 100+ times taking saplings down at the root base, still shows absolutely NO chipping on the blade. About $45

The knife I carry on my belt varies, from one of a few Ka Bar fight knives, Gerber LMF II, or a high carbon dive knife who's branding I cannot remember.

The LMF II would definately be my first choice to have in a dire straights situation, but I need to purchase a new one, my old one was given away as a gift to an Eagle Scout.

ANY time I'm going camping, or any other situation where I might wind up in trouble, I'm fairly prepared. I've always got at least a knife in my pocket, a larger knife in my car. Camping, I've got my kukri and something on my belt.

If nothing else. BE PREPARED!
