I have the SOG Seal Pup and although it is sharp and feels well made, the handle is a bit small for my larger hands. Looks a bit vicious too for a camp/bushcraft knife - think it will just remain in the collection rather than a usable knife as it looks like it's designed for a little more than gutting fish and chipping wood!! :o

In the same class is my current number, and I won't be giving it away, the Bark River Bravo 1.
I'm with you on the Bark River Bravo 1 - such high quality, this is a knife for life! I've also got the new Bark River bushcrafter which is a little smaller and more manegable.

I mostly use it for gutting and skinning, a little carving too. I have a Laplander folding saw and a small Hultafors axe for heavy work. Right tool for the right job.

I have all sorts of knives,Gerber,Mora(they are good)Coldsteel,and Green River.

But you know what? My favourite fixed is an old wood handled ,carbon steel butchers steak knife. It was my first knife as an apprentice all those yrs ago. I cut the blade down and put a Scandi grind on it,and Jan made a sheath for it. Tough as Hell.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Not had a great deal of experience but I really like my Mora clipper, great little knife, even just for doing jobs in the garden and for under £15 no great loss if it's damaged or misplaced.

Well, having read this topic, I have just purchased a Falkniven A1. Not cheap but okay. Got an okayish price, could I get it cheaper, probably. Oh well. I am happy to pay for a quality product that lasts.
The last knife I'd like to get is a quality Kukri.
