As most of you know I live my knife use on a daily basis. I live on a 40 acre farm and have a lot of daily maintenance, Mostly with blades and chainsaws. Each of these knives I would put my life on and in some of the cases I HAVE.
#1 the Vaquero is an all purpose fighting knife. It has the best features of a fighting blade and is even carried by the owner of Cold steel for that exact purpose. This aggressive blade style is damn good at all cuts and thrusts. It has the material gathering abilities of a kukri and karambit with the front point of a bowie. Hands down this is the king of folding knife fighters.
#2 the Hold Out II this is a great general use knife and feels great in the hand. Good for just about any task you put in front of it including self defense.
#3 the Finn Wolf is a true Scandi grind pocket knife and for a price tag of under 40.00 you cant go wrong.
#4 the AK-47 Field Knife is in my opinion one of, if not, the most versatile survival/fighting knife on the market. The 3V steel is the new super steel on the market and it's earning its rep.
#5 the Recon Scout is a 7.5 inch machine and in proven 0-1 tool steel it's even better. If your looking for a great survival bowie look no further. This can handle anything you dish out And it's usually under 120.00 US. I personally didn't like the hand guard on both sides of the blade so I ground down the back side so choking up is easier. Below is the finished product.
Also in case anyone doubts i own all of them
I have many others but, These are carried the most.
