Earlier I said:
Boy, tough one. Let's do two lists, one for general "Hunting/woods walking and another for End of the World.
Walkabout:
1. WarDog
2. 411
3. Swamp Warden
End of The World:
1. 1311
2. S5
3. 311
And as stated, this is not an Always these, but could change on a whim.
But on further reflection I have changed it some.
Walkabout:
1. Tali-whacker (for what life might bring)
2. S5
3. Mud Puppy
This will give me the versatility I feel would be most useful in any situation.
One semi-large blade (Tali-Whacker) for emergency shelter building or possible defense against man or beast where carrying a firearm could land you in Federal Custody.
A light weight mid sized blade that will that will be up to the task asked of any "Bushcraft" blade.
A smaller blade for delicate work and just general small knife tasks where a sharper point may be needed and for skinning.
End Of The World:
1. BWM (Bush Whacker Mistress)
2. WarDog
3. Mud Puppy
Once again, a larger knife for shelter building/ease of preparing fire making material and protection from man or beast if needed.
A medium size knife for "Bushcraft" needs that covers most all tasks normally associated with "Hunting" Knives.
A smaller blade for delicate work such as preparing food for the fire and "Minor" surgery that would invariably happen.
Two INFI blades, nothing more really needs to be said. And One Stainless Steel blade. All three lending themselves to not needing to be babied or pampered to much to keep them in top shape as far as corrosion control is concerned.
Well there you have it. It was (For me) a tough decision and is a departure from my original post. But looking at all the aspects and trying to be realistic (would we REALLY need to depend on a knife to defend ourselves from other people) I think my second choices are much more aligned with the real world uses for the blades.
