We all have our favorites! Tell us about them and maybe post a pick or 2.

A guy I worked with told me he had a bunch of "army knives" which is a pretty promising thing to hear for a "knife guy" like me. So he eventually dug them out and brought them in...total GARBAGE. QVC garbage to be exact..

Among them was one or two of the hollow handle "RAMBO" knives

, along with some horrible hunting knives and kringeworthy kukris, wobbly wharncliffs and sucky swords..

Funny I have never had a kukri. I think it is time to look into one!

In my opinion there the best heavy duty blade out there

Certainly there one of the few knives I'd happily trust my life too

I'd say that would suit you down to the ground mate, as it's a lot of blade, but the weight will be about the same as one of your Hawks

yah I know every time I look at one that is what comes into my head the hawk works perfect for me.

Yeah but on a Kuk you've got a lot more options in the wood's imo

I was looking at the rajah II but I'm worried that the folding aspect might ruin the whole purpose of a kukri.

They do look nice, but I'd be warry of using a folder for any heavy or abusive work $:-\$

Rmember the old outdoors wisdom. A folding knive starts its life broken in the middle!

Those are good words Hawkchucker. However, some times a simple, economic choice like a KA-BAR, or an ontario knife marine raider are the best for you, and your wallet.

Amen to that

Ya know the Kbar never did it for me. Carried one for years in the corp. and hated the darn thing. It allways broke opening crates of ammo and dragon crates. That is why I went to the CS SRK. never looked back.

Some folks swar by the standard issue Kabar...did it break in the same place all the time?

I always wanted one just to "have one" I guess, I really like the look of the stacked leather handle Kabars..

I owned a SRK for a while, and that thing seemed indestructable!

My dad showed his to me a couple of days ago. He had bought it back in the 80's when he was in the army. All i can say is it's a great knife.

hawkchucker · **Reply #21 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:30:21 AM

Yup but they die at the choil every time. I can stand on my SRK after putting into a wall, but the Kbar jsut never could take the punishment. i guess that is why it is issue for BUDS!

SMK · **Reply #22 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:34:49 AM

True, but compare the kbar's cost to the srk's cost. You could go through 2
or 3 kbars (if you're a good dealhunter) with the same amount of $ it takes to buy an srk

However what do you do if you are in the field and it breaks!

Borrow your mates SRK.

Or just steel it!

My fav t shirt in the Marines I had was a shirt that says "if you die we are splitting up you gear"

kinda morbid but good!
