Last week I went car camping and backpacking in Algonquin park. I carried my beloved Barkriver Aurora for an entire week in the woods. I trekked with it, processed firewood, and flipped a canoe wearing it. After all that, with only a negligible amount of surface rust later on the CPM-3V, it still could shave paper. I also carried on my backpacking trip a cold steel trail hawk tomahawk. And that thing just plows through wood like a (you know what). I cut down and split up a 45 foot tall pine tree for our fire and it just ate through it like any cold steel should.

Bearded axes were not just used for hooking shields. It's great for Carving, hewing and getting a longer edge with less material. Though the Freyr is neither a well designed bearded axe or axe.

My favorite camp knife is one you don't stock: Scagel Medium Bowie. Scagel was recently purchased by Bark River knives. They're made in the same workshop, use the same materials, it's just the design that they purchased. There's a lot of variety to them as well. Mine is the Osage Orange version. Very useful knife out in the woods.

I prefer the esee 5. I have 1 and it's a beast. I had a bk2 but traded it with esee 5 because I found it more polished , finished, and functional. It has a better cutting edge and pointer tip. The bk2 is more like a sharpened pry bar. I also have a 60th anniversary stainless steal Ontario Ranger series. I take both knives out into the field and use the esee 5 for heavy tasks in dryer conditions and the stainless steel for lighter general tasks especially in wet conditions. I'm up in southern Ontario Canada. I go up to Algonquin Park regularly. I don't take a hatchet. Just my 2 knives and a silky saw.

Spyderco coincidentally makes kitchen cutlery and sells their shitty chef knifes for like $400.

Some Knives are often designed under the scenario that is all you have on you, so it has to be a jack of all trades. Hopefully it will be a knife that’s able to chop, feather-stick, field-dress and prep dinner at the camp.

I have a very nice bearded camp ax from a company called "Arms and Armor" made from 5160 tool steel. The reason behind this type of design goes way back too the era of the Vikings. They did not have a lot of iron to work with, so they made the ax with as little iron as possible. When sharp, its a great ax design for chopping, and splitting and since you can choke up "Under" the cutting edge, you can do some fine work, and maybe feather sticking. My two camp knives are the Mora Heavy Duty Companion, and the Becker BK-16, both very good knives. I also carry a small folding saw.

The Gerber Principle seems okay. But when I think about going to buy it all goes wrong. I could buy the principle in 420HC for $50 or get a Mora Robust in 1095 for less than $20, or another medium sized Mora in 12C27, slightly better than 420HC, for also about $20. I know the Mora heat treat is very reliable. I have seen the punishment that the Robust can take, so I don't really care about the full tang on the Principle that much. So then it seems silly to get the Principle. Now Gerber makes more sense in the area of the Strongarm, where they have a very good value in a small survival knife. Or maybe a medium/small russian bushcraft knife of good quality and value (BPS, Stryi, Beavercraft). The Principle is in the price range of a Condor Terrasaur without really competing head-to-head on a functional basis. I suppose it has a slightly better sheath. I tend to make my own sheath when a good value knife happens to have a mediocre sheath.

I have a big fixed blade that I use for Bushcraft when backpacking, but it's not ideal (it's the Dawson ranger) as it probably weighs more than my backpack at over 2.5lbs. I've taken this knife on 5 day trips into the Sierras over 12,000 feet mountain passes. In backpacking, every ounce counts, and I did in fact use the knife to help make a fire on a cold and rainy day so it's not like I didn't use it either.
