I'm going on a cow elk hunt this December in New Mexico. It's going to be a new experience for me - never done a guided hunt, never hunted elk and never hunted the Mountain West. I'm having a lot of fun thinking about what to take with and carry. Knives being one of the things getting day dreamed about and maybe even some regular night dreams.
For sure going to be a belt knife of some description and a pocket knife - a stockman, maybe a barlow but for sure a traditional slip joint knife. Compact SAK will be a constant.
So these are the pairings I'm thinking of as of now. Feel free to offer your opinions and suggestions.
Buck 110 and Buck Stockman, a true classic pair of made in USA knives.
Another pair of pretty decent American made knives, Stainless Randall Model 7 that has yet to go to the field, and a CV Case Medium Stockman that's been around a while.
A couple of more modern knives with more modern steels. 3V BRK Canadian with custom sheath, and a M390 Lionsteel Barlow.
Finally, into the more or less wayback machine. Kabar Kephart and an Imperial Barlow. These knives have soul if you ask me.
