Couldn't agree more!
Also make it a sharp one. My choice BTW is always a Swiss Army Knife. Fairly legal and dead useful.

Old Marksman folding/lock, with a blade about 2.75" cost about a fiver 8 or 9 yrs ago, SS blade, alloy scales, rock solid and sharp enough to shave with, does what it's sposed to, it cuts.

Got a couple of others, butterfly knife (stays indoors) and an old thing with what looks like brass and black leather banding along the handle, got William (somethin)gers on it, Sheffield? Found that one years ago.

Only ones I actually ever use daily are the Marksman and a 10" chefs knife.

I had the Fallkniven A1 some years ago, before I stupidly allowed myself to give it to a friend. It was a first class knife.

In the same class is my current number, and I won't be giving it away, the Bark River Bravo 1.

Folder: buck 110
Fixed: boker magnum
Utility: leatherman blast

Reasonably priced and the quality is good for the price point.

Got some cheap Chinese folders I got via britishblades which are actually very good for the money!

You need some way to keep 'em sharp too! I've got one of the lansky multi hone sets which is great but slow!

I like sharps

Mmmmm, I've always wanted to get a quality knife so am reading with interest. I have a day to day sak, which is great. A basic mora knife for when I'm in the forest, and I have a reserve mod standard knife which I keep just in case.

Helle Harding is superb. I carry a Bernie Garland Bushcrafter when I go deep in to the woods in Sweden because it was made for me and its great. I would never take a knife over an axe though...
