What yall use on a daily basis? I cannot deny that I am becoming a blade nerd... I likes me a good edge for every scenario...  ... I carry a simple chicago folding multiblade for the grunt work... my hog knife has always been a standard/half serrated KA-BAR... both solid working knifes... but, for "special occasions"  .... First off is my "goin' out" pocket knife... Bob Lum Spyderco... SCARY sharp. Lay it on what you want cut... pull... and just keep your fingers out the way....  GOOD KNIFE WHEN YOU GOTTA CUT SOMETHIN' FAST.  Next is my standby 10" fillet knife... I've broken down a LOT of big fish with this knife... DANGEROUS knife when you know how to use it... If I can find a sheath for it, probably be carrying it as my new hog knife... just need to find one with a little more mass to it....  I'd love to see yall's FAVORITE knifes and why you like 'em... |

I like my Buck knives. Mine are always handy when I need a shave I like the weight and I have used them so long I can just flick it open with one hand.  |

I've always carried a Moore Maker trapper. All the knife you need 99% of the time.

Warthog V-Sharp. It is almost too sharp  I used to use stones and oil. But this will put an adge on real fast then you put the steels on and it will keep it sharp without taking off too much metal. I use the Classic because the other one flexes after being used a while. http://v-sharp.com/ |

Interesting dub, I've avoided those "draw type" sharpeners because I feel the micro serrations from a perpendicular sharpening motion cut better... but I have not, honestly, tried one of those draw type sharpeners.... defenitely look easier to use...

You use a circular motion. I still use the stones if I need to sharpen near the tip but that is not very often. I saw skinners using them. I pulled out my old knife that needed sharpening and in thirty seconds they did what would have taken a few minutes plus you can't mess up. When you are skinning just have two knives and someone to clean and sharpen them as you hand it to them.

Noah, Best blade money can by is in your back yard, imo.
Randall Made Knives. Probably have a five year waiting list these days, but he won't sacrifice quality for production.

I carry a CRKT knife i took off a crack head years ago. I carry it on duty, in the woods you name it. Id be scared to cut myself with it though.. its probably had more crack on it than blood... When im hunting i carry an alaskan guide with about a 6 1/2 inch blade |
