To those of you whom use their prized knives... what tasks will you be using your S5?

ALL OF THEM!

I plan on buying 2 or 3 so 1 will see use and the others will probably not. I plan to use it as my hiking/camping knife. I'll take it along on hikes, etc. I may also use it around the house for yard-type stuff.

The real question for me is if I buy 2 or 3 color combos - which do I use and which do I not? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

phonebook stabber
limb chopper
toothpick
box opener
tag remover
bottle opener
apple slicer
hmmm.. I'm sure i'll think of more...

I'm hoping you mean tree limbs Clint <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That's funny KnotSlip... :-)

I'm gonna use it on limbs, and definitely not trees....


first victims: the neighbor kids who keep running through my veggie garden <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> (just kidding) (maybe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )

I see the S5 as an all-around field knife. It would do well for skinning, preparing kindling, meal preparation, and just general cutting chores. I have always preferred the 5" to the 4" in a hunting knife. For years I carried a Schrade Old Timer Deerslayer or else my trusty Air Force Pilots knife. That size is handy and not as bulky as the 7" blades, but big enough to do a lot.

Those all sound pretty good to me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Come on guys 5" blades makes perfect letter openers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

for 100 bucks,one is going
in the toolbox in the van.
Havent thought about uses yet.

This will be my new, all purpose camp knife to accompany my FFBM.

The NMSFNO still nails it though, if I can only have one.
