I just discovered Morakniv Simple inexpensive knives at very affordable prices.
i bought the most basic 511 carbon and for a few dollars more i got the companion stainless. i think i got them both on sale at Amazon for 25$
The 511 is already earning its keep in the kitchen.
One on one, the companion is the better value for sure but someone, Kalashnikov i think it was, said "Quantity has a quality all of its own" . I will probably eventually end buying 5 more 511s just to stash in places where a knife might come in handy.
I am not a hunter and i don't go play surviorman fantasy. I do go out into the wilds in my my jeep and a few times I've found myself separated from a group away from cell phone range, never been a problem so far but definitely want be well prepared out there.
I often keep a glock etool and fm78 stashed away but i think a Mora would make a cood companion, to the FM
The Kansbol and basic buscraft both cost about 35$
whats the differences
Which one is the best general purpose knife?
53$ gets me the bushcraft knife in a sheath that includes a sharpener and ferro rod, 26$ gets me the "spark" which apparently is a companion with a built in ferro Rod.
just trying to decide on the best knife for a worst case situation that is unlikely to ever happen ( but something good for regular cutting task to justify the expense to my self )
One more thing, i notice that morakniv makes a camp ax/hatchet that seems a bit seems a bit pricey for what it is, does anyone here use one of those?
Thx & stay sharp!
