Which knife do you use the most,and what
do you use it for?
The
A2 has been used for about half an year and only twice heavy used (one time is on youtube). Then, I abandoned it (I mean I stopped using it).
The
Skinny ASH1 is the most used of the three. I do everything with it: chopping, batoning to split wood, dig holes into the ground, cutting ropes, cables and the like, cutting cans, breaking coconuts and other things by hammering the end of the handle to implant the tip... I keep it fixed with the kydex sheath on my backpack shoulder straps when I go into the forests and use it for anything which comes to cut there. Sometimes I also do some entertainment in the woods or in the yard throwing with it. I use it also into the kitchen to hash and peel vegetables and other foods. Of course, for kitchen I have optimized knives, and using the Skinny ASH is just a caprice; but I use it just because I like it.
The
SOD is not used at all. I have just received it few days ago. I think I will use it only for cutting and chopping (the things its design is optimised for) and maybe rarely for batoning. I will carry it into the woods only when I will think I will need a lot of chopping. Otherwise, I will continue to use the Skinny ASH1 which is the best knife for survival I've ever touched.
BTW: the weight of the knives when new (because it's not mentioned in the specifications for bussekin knives) is:
Skinny ASH1 - approx. 425 grams
SOD - approx. 444 grams
(Fallkniven A2 - exact 370 grams)
