I have two favourites . A Fallkniven H1 for general use and a Tora service for heavy duty cutting . The H1 gets much more Woods time but the Kukri I find is a fantastic heavy cutting tool . No links but feel free to research them . I bought the Tora for £29 around 6 years ago which is fantastic value for a traditional Nepalese kukri . Prices have gone too high for me to justify buying another . The Fallkniven is my highest cost camp knife . It does nothing that a Mora can’t do but I do
Appreciate it’s bullet proof construction .

I do not care much for the kukri style.

They usually will not fit into the peanut butter jar.

Fit is also one reason I have to carry a Mora as well as an SAK. The SAK will not reach the bottom of the jar!

The camp knife used by CH as his avatar is also a good choice for general purpose work. We had a long thread about those and a dozen or so more just a month or so back.

I am satisfy with you but there are a lot of work where kukri style knives can work perfectly than other type of knives.

I carry several and so does my son.

We both have a lightweight, half tang, fixed blade (about an inch) ankle knife - Remington. Great for if tangled in a thorn - bloody thorns can really bite lol. Also good for slicing cooked meat. Can shave with both as they are razor sharp and great for throwing - proving your aim is worth a damn.

Son has various multi tools with folding blades of varying usefulness. As does mum. Son also has a fully-locking plastic sheathed diving knife - gut hook, straight edge, and serrated edge. Not cheap due to to the full lock hard plastic sheath but good for a young one where preventing injury is best practice.
My side knife for pheasant, wood pigeon and rabbit is my my four inch, full tang Buck (USA brand- very good), nice grip and a fire strike section and a small serrated part on top - saves dulling main blade for everyday use.

We carry a wide-range of various wood working tools, as these would be hard to make in a grid down (not impossible as mum is an engineer and can build anything when pressed to the wire) but having them can mean making many other tools easily, if you get my gist. Tools are useless without hands that hold the knowledge of HOW to USE them or make them.

Mum packs two Ka-Bar Beckers, plus one unspecified bladed surprise. One Becker is good for wood processing and root digging. The other is for dealing with pests - mozzies are awful.

Mora make nice bushcraft knives but the plastic sheaths are a bit naff, I have leather sheaths for mine.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
