Current Events > Knives out. What's a good general purpose outdoors fold out knife?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Want to get one for my camping supplies. Need something sturdy. Spring action fold out is nice but not required as long as its easy to unfold. Heard spyderco brand is good.

Who goes camping in 2021? I only camp in my recliner in front of my tv, I dont have knowledge about knives but I heard a Bowie knife is good for camping

Why do you want a folding knife?

Buy something full tang (fixed blade)


This is basically the perfect knife. Its been in circulation largely unchanged for decades for a reason.

I got a Bker Automat Kalashnikov 74 that's been pretty good. I use it for work mainly

I use this

I have a Benchmade Griptillian and it has yet to let me down for anything

What exactly are you using knives for. Filleting fish?

When you think of a knife, what role is it likely to play in your setup?

like to process food? Baton wood? (Split pieces of wood down the middle), maybe wedge cans and or pummel nuts?

if you want to do all that youre better off with a full tang as xethuminra said^

Buck is a good brand

if you plan on carrying it every day then a nice folder can still serve those roles but with a huge loss to hardiness and strength

Benchmade is also a great brand for folders, the Osbourne is probably my favorite

but actually my favorite knife of all time is actually the Swiss champ by Victorinox

that shit comes with an excellent saw to process some tree limbs, a good blade, handy tools, and is built to last

I absolutely use it for EVERYTHING since it is a multi tool

Its also worth noting the carry laws in your state - some states dont allow you to even own certain types of knives (ie automatic knives)

Ballistic knives arent legal in US anywhere to my knowledge.
