I started out my knife addiction buying cold steel knives worried I would need to bust open a car window, baton wood logs, and start a fire way more often than I have. Now I buy knives based on how well they feel cutting apples and oranges, stripping wires, and they have to be a fidget toy. Otherwise I have my leatherman for most other small things and a truck full of dewalt tools when those aren’t big enough. Much happier

Back in early 2015 I was repairing a bi-level railcar. I was up on the second with a harness on, about to go up top. I swung around to the ladder and my foot slipped. The safety harness strap wrapped around my neck. I managed to get out my CRKT M21-12G and cut the line. It has been my knife of choice ever since. Best knife I have ever owned and I know I can trust it with my life.

I've noticed that knives made with more traditional looking materials like wood and brass, two handed opening knives and carrying it in a belt sheath all make the knife much more "friendly" to most people. Granted I do live in Montana where lots of people carry knives but I think the buck is still a friendly looking knife today because it looks like a "my grandpa carried that" type of knife.

It is not the best at anything, but it can do almost any job in a pinch. The Garberg is a sturdy, fixed blade with full tang so it should have all my bases covered.

Buck 110. For several reasons: 1) In some places, I'm limited to folders for EDC. I'm automatically limited to folders. And, I challenge anyone to find a tougher folder than the 110. It's all brass with wood scales, so the handle and mechanism are virtually indestructible. The point is the weakest point of the knife, which brings me to my next point. 2) I've dealt with Buck's warranty service on several occasions, and it's the best bar none. The only thing I can imagine ever breaking on the 110 is the blade. And, Buck will replace my blade for $10 if it ever does. Any issues with the handle or mechanism are free. So, as long as I don't lose it, I could potentially run the same 110 my entire life and never need to buy another knife.

I carried a Buck 110 in a Nite Ize holster along with a pen light, a small curved mosquito clamp, a bite stick,trauma shears, a small lighter, a pen and a tourniquet for 23 years as part of my medical kit. As a paramedic with several missions as a first responder to aircraft incidents and rescue missions a good knife was crucial in almost every scenario. That Buck 110 served that purpose well. While working with EOD on gunnery range clean ups my Buck 110 was a secondary tool to my Kabar. When the Kabar was too large for certain tasks the Buck 110 filled in. Unfortunately, while trying to pry a "souvenir" off an old tank (target) I broke off the tip of the Buck. Heartbroken, I used a file to re-shape a tip but not as pointed as the original. I still use that Buck 110 (55 years later) and it serves as a vital part of my survival kit in my bug out bag. The primary blade is a Gerber Strongarm which has proven itself in spades. As a matter of fact it survived a "tag gauntlet" involving several You Tubers putting it through the ringer...total abuse with intentions of trying to break it. I love it so much I bought two of them, one black and one coyote brown. Depending on what color my backpack is determines which Strongarm I take. If I had to choose between the Gerber Strongarm and the Buck 110, I'd have to go with the Buck 110 which presently resides in a Hyde and Drink leather holster alongside a Leatherman Sidekick.

And my favorite fixed blade, don't use it much either, is a custom Buck 119 420HC Chipflint blade, with brass guard/pummel and Iron Wood grips, with brown distressed leather sheath ... razor sharp from the factory and flawless in it's manufacture...BTW - just purchased a Morakniv Garberg Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife with Carbon Steel Blade, 4.3-Inch and I can't wait to get a grip on it... from all I've heard, it's a real pleasure to use and most utilitarian!

The guy that said everyone overthinks their knives is 100% correct. There are tools for the job. I understand that emergencies happen, and it’s good to be prepared for anything. However, if you’re walking around with enough stuff on you to survive the apocalypse? You may be over doing it a little. One knife to keep forever would be a knife that retains its edge, tip, is corrosion resistant, and easy to carry. If it meets those few qualities, you should be fine. You don’t need to walk around with 7 knives on you. Honestly a small fixed blade would be the perfect EDC knife because it’s less likely to break, they’re easy to carry, and you can always tie it to a stick and make a spear.

Before I even got to the end I was hoping to see the Buck 110. Of all the damn "super steel" knives from Benchmade, Cold Steel, Spyderco, USA Gerber and others I've collected over the years and wasted money on, that BOS 420HC is all you need. Ease of sharpening is the biggest thing for me now and that BOS 420HC takes a razor edge. I don't want to have a super steel sharpening session on the trail or at the campsite with a Worksharp pocket sharpener. So now all those super steel knives sit in a drawer and I rock the 110 in a pouch or an aluminum 110 drop point with a pocket clip from Copper and Clad. And I'm not an Uncle Randy (hat tip Pete - Cedric and Ada), I'm in my thirties. Plus mine represents Idaho with the Idaho state stamp on the blade.

I have a fixed blade knife forged by me. It has a shape that evolved over the years. I have made a dozen or so belt knives. It is made from s30v. 6.25" blade is flat ground with a distal taper. Full tang with black jigged G10 scales. If I could only have 1 knife it would be what I constructed. Yes s30v is difficult to sharpen but once it is "scary sharp" the edge stays that way with very little maintenance.

@@jcolterh I hear that a lot but I've had my 940 for over 10 years, it is my most carried knife by far and I play with it all the time. It's probably been opened and closed thousands and thousands of times and I've never had an issue with it. I actually have 15 knives that have Axis locks, the oldest one being close to 20 years old and I've never had a single issue with them.

I'm all about folders but if it came down to I can only have one forever, it would have to be a fixed blade due I to the fact that I don't believe a single folder would last me the rest of my life. Well, maybe a cold steel would.

I have a lot of knives. I mean a lot. Inexpensive ones, expensive ones. All types of steels and blade shapes. Every time I buy a knife, I try it out with the intention of replacing the Recon 1, tanto. And every time, I end up going back to the Recon. Some people dislike the knife because they don't like Lynn Thompson. Some people dislike the knife for whatever reason. I have 6 of these knives in different styles. One of the things I use it for is to cut up very thick cardboard from appliance boxes. These are some of the thickest, strongest boxes you'll find. The Recon slices through them like butter. Some people might say a utility box cutter would be better suited for the job. I use those too. But there are times when my Recon will do a much better job. I keep my knives very very sharp so that helps. 🤙🏾

My buck 110 from the 80s doesn't even look like a 110 anymore the steel is to soft and gets ground away quickly though it stays thin behind the edge for awhile the only guys that have buck 110'S forever are guys like my dad who hardly sharpen and like using a horrible edge..
