Gerber Prodigy is a great all-around camping/outdoors knife with an awesome sheath! Available at Walmart, sometimes on sale for $40-$50.
And as close to indestructible as you can get, especially at the price point.

Nice. I need to get me a SRK. They look just right for a lot of things.I'll throw in another endorsement for the Cold Steel SRK and SRK-C. Between the two of them I didn't spend more than $75, its good steel for the money, better steel is available in more expensive versions, and the tips on both are very sturdy. The only thing they can't do is take hammering to the butt without damaging the handle. I wouldn't hesitate to baton the SRK, and the SRK-C is just small enough to be widely useful but still handle well for finer tasks.
There are no "do it all" guns. When I was young and more foolish, I tried to find one gun to do everything, but there is no such animal. The least # of firearms to do most things is 2, but 4 or 6 is more reasonable
Knives are similar.
Very well put.There are no "do it all" guns. When I was young and more foolish, I tried to find one gun to do everything, but there is no such animal. The least # of firearms to do most things is 2, but 4 or 6 is more reasonable.
Knives are similar. Most used will be something in the 2-4" range, but when you need a big blade, you really need it. The least I would be comfortable going into the woods with is 2, but if I have a vehicle, 3 would be the minimum:
1-4" small task (can be small fixed blade or folder).
3-6" general use or kitchen
large chopper
You can do a lot even with a sharp 1" blade, but will struggle with cutting large veggies, fruit, or processing a lot of meat.
That's because they wanted to branch out into the knife market from the multitool market.Leatherman even calls it a "knife" - not a "multitool."
And IMO, they succeeded very well. I carry one like the one in the picture (mine's green) in a homemade sheath, and hardly a day goes by that I don't use it at least once.That's because they wanted to branch out into the knife market from the multitool market.
I just finished up this Kephart in AEBL and black canvas micarta
The Kephart is about the greatest camping knife of all time!

Welcome to THR, Parker_83! BTW, you don't get any "extra credit" for them, but pictures are a plus. I know I'd like to see a picture of a Mora Bushcraft Black knife.I think I paid $40 for my Mora Bushcraft Black knife. Lightweight and tough. Easy to sharpen with the scandi edge. Great knife.
