when choosing a knife try to think how it would be used related to your basic needs,first thing i think of is a fire,for signaling or to stay warm or cook something you have been lucky enuf to get.shelter,pine branches layered to shed water works good,a small lite blade is useful in a lot of small chores but might take too long cutting wood ect.my swiss army knife has about a 3" blade & is a great knife but i would leave it at home if i had to choose only 1,99% of us will never need such but it is nice to have it,mike243

only 83 dollars
I would say there are to many knives out there that are perfect for one or two jobs. One that is going to live up to all of these catagories needs to be not to big or to small.
Probably gonna look at one with a 4" heavy blade, drop tip, non folding. Can use it to gut an animal, cut small limbs/tree's less than 2" and most camp chores. The other thing you would want to go with it is a small sharpening stone.

I have a Case Lightweight Hunter (fixed blade, rubber handle) as my main camp knife. It's not something I'd want to carry on me, but it's great for an all purpose/camp knife.
I like the large Bucklite Max, which is my main deer hunting knife. I'd get another just to have as an all purpose/camp knife.
I also like the Case Ridgeback, and the Buck Woodsman as smaller options...although I don't have either.
Like others have said, Kabars are hard to beat. I'd like to have one, like the Short Kabar knife.
For years, my main knife was a folding Gerber Gator. I found this knife difficult to sharpen, and started getting other brands.

Got an old Western W36 from back before they became a part of Coleman and then Camillus. Had it for almost 30 years and it's hard to beat for a general purpose belt knife.
Bark River makes better blades than anyone. I carry a mini-slither myself or a Blackjack 1 7" stag.
