wood carving knives
What/Where is the best place to buy camp knives?

I like to go camping, and to whatever in the woods near my house. I want a knife that isn’t huge like the ones for hunting, but definitely not something as small as the knives on multi-tools. I already have the Wave from leatherman. Basically, a knife that can help build a shelter, widdle and carve, etc. Sorry if I’m being too picky, obviously it does not need to meet EVERY single one of these ideals. Thank you so much!

I personally use a multipurpose smooth edge SWAT knife that folds and locks, locking blades are very important, and has a thick blade with a hollow grind on it and the blade is about 4 inches in length. I can filet a fish or cut through bone of a medium bird with it. For other camping tasks I either bring a small hatchet or a machete depending on the chores required. If I expect to deal with a lot of brush I bring a machete as it will also hack through small to medium sized wood but requires some more work but it does better clearing very small branches and grasses. If I know that I already have a clearing I bring the hatchet.

As for serrated blades those are only good if you are cutting vines or ropes so I generally keep a small 2 inch serrated blade in my pocket or pack for cutting ropes. I don’t like to cut ropes if I can avoid it however when kayaking and rock climbing I carry a knife where there is a serrated edge at the heal of the blade for about an inch or so. Every task has a knife that is required and every knife has a task and to find an all purpose knife that you like will be very hard and that is why I always carry two or three.

I also carry a small (.75×2.5inches) stone that I can use with water or dry that has both course and fine grit on it as you never know when you’ll need to sharpen a knife and honing your knife around a campfire is manly and soothing.
