@Bradley1,
I just imagined your first para being read in a Crocodile Dundee voice...
Now it just so happens that I have a kukri which is looking for a new home! Someone left it behind in a house we owned once. I will never use it. If you'd like it let me know!
Light & small folding knife does all we need;leave the gung-ho stuff to Bear Grylls types!
+1 on the light and small folding knife.
Mercator. (steel folding knife) An 80mm blade. Perhaps a little heavier than many would want but it's comforting to know you have a decent knife with you.
I often also have a slasher and silky saw with me instead of or as well as a knife when doing a bit of track clearing whilst tramping.
+1 for the Merc. I've carried mine for nearly 40 years and it can still nearly slice my finger off.
Wenger Ranger 58, which is a type of Swiss Army Knife. It's big but I'm more likely to cut myself getting little SAKs open. Decent blade, decent saw, plus the usual screwdrivers, can opener etc.
I leave my heavy plier-based Leatherman at home.
Thanks all for your comments
