What knife do u use for scouting?

[dim fox]

My main knife is an Opinel.

I have these two.

[lunar nacelle]

I use a bunch of things, but mostly a sharpened handle of a spoon

[dim fox]

Sharpened handle of a spoon? Thats creative.

[lunar nacelle]

An hour, a random spoon that’s got a pretty long handle (long enough to have about an inch or two of blade and and space for a hand to hold) and random metal working tools can manage to get you lost in trying to create a random thought that you had when you were about to go to sleep.

[lunar nacelle]

Oh yeah and to hold the whole spoon, i hollowed out the inside of a bigger, wooden spoon to put the metal knife spoon in

[dim fox]

I use this one, but mine doesn't have the MAXAM logo since it's a old one.

Though it's still in perfect condition, and i even have a belt holder for it

Funnily enough the Engine room of one of our Tugs has the same one

[dim fox]

Mine is from my grandpa, he was a navy sailor.

[lunar nacelle]

Cool

[molten magnet]

MORAKNIV!

[smoky crag]

Great and proud country of Sweden with another great craftmanship! 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪

[regal acorn]

jk its a really good knife

[vital dune]

My personal favorite

[covert geyser]

Buck 112 is my fist pick

Not my picture

[balmy lintel]

opinel 12 explore allume-feu (mhhh, France.) lost my first one in a camp in Italy, I've lost my current one because my mother took it to do something....

[dim fox]

random kitchen knife

[plucky scroll]

Victorinox rescue knife since it has a rope saw and locking blade is my main

[odd karma]

We are not allowed knifes at our scouts don't ask what happened my scout group is a bit.. you know

[fossil wadi]

usually using morakniv for knifes, they are cheap, very durable, easy to maintain and come full tang, so batoning and stuff is doable with em and if one decides to give up ill go buy another one

[raven gazelle]

SAK and gerber

[raven gazelle]

literal bayonet

[mild spoke]

My personal every camp carry

[worldly rain]

For scouting i use a lot of knife, but usually i use an opinel "Falcetto" N10 (Or in English an Opinel Pruning knife No.10)

[worldly rain]

Somewere i also got a Opinel Pesce

[next hornet]

Opinel N. 8

[worthy creek]

@next hornet has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)

[half geyser]

Mostly a scout knife from Helle, but i sometimes use a Morakniv

[molten magnet]

Did you know that the KM version is 20kr cheaper for the same knife with different colors?

[paper viper]

Who in Their right mind would buy a KM version tho

[mental crag]

I use a swiss army mountain s=knife, the Gladiator, has 3 knifes, 2 can openers, siscors, and other features

[plucky scroll]

Update of my everycamp carry for knives

[elfin shadow]

Yes the blue one is illegal to carry in the UK as it is serrated and locking and too long

[plucky scroll]

3 of my 4 are illegal but got good enough reasoning and they really don't care

[elfin shadow]

yup

[plucky scroll]

Mine all have some form of assisted opening with thumb pins and holes too

[elfin shadow]

I don't think that makes them illigal, but the length probably does if nothing else does (apart from the red penknife)

[plucky scroll]

It does, you're not supposed to be able to open them with one hand/in less than a second

[elfin shadow]

What country?

[plucky scroll]

UK, but most countries have similar rules

Assisted opening is illegal

[raven gazelle]

imagine having restrictive knife laws

I can carry a full-length fixed blade in public and it is fully legal

In most places in Texas a toddler can legally carry a sword

[plucky scroll]

Yeah well you can also buy guns at the supermarket

[arctic granite]

depends

I usually carry the good ol victorinox swiss army knife, the mountaneering one

do if I am going to do some bushcrafting i´ll carry a small foldable saw and or a small hatchet

[arctic granite]

nice collection

do i was looking to biu a more dedicated knife, something with more mmf , you know? ill check out the good ol truper catalougue , let see if i found something

[ruby cliff]

Thanks

I have a couple that are everyday carry and a pair that I bring every week to scouting

[last talon]

I always carry a Russell Grohman sailing knife I got from my dad and then I usually have a multi-tool and a handmade folding pocket knife I got in the states.

[obtuse fiber]

I personally prefer a letherman surge. It is just so versitile and i nead most of it frequently

[ruby cliff]

i prefer the wave +

[obtuse fiber]

I used to have a wave but i just realy love the bit more bulky surge ( also this scissors are brilliant)

[ruby cliff]

yeah fair

[worthy creek]

@ruby cliff has leveled up! (3 ➜ 4)

[ruby cliff]

nice

[floral crater]

i use a victorinox huntsman, just like this one but with a pocket clip on it

[arctic granite]

i use the other version, the one who has the file instead of the saw, more practical in every day life in my opinion, do i would love to have that one for when i go to the field and what not

[scarlet tulip]

Wait you guys use knifes?

[opaque oyster]

Yes ofc

[glass crypt]

My first knife and my favfrute one

[small grove]

Woaahh Thats sick, love it

[ruby cliff]

You don't?

[scarlet tulip]

We don't use knifes cus it's a safety hazard

But if we can I'd prolly use a balisong

[elfin shadow]

My explorer unit had 3 ish feeder groups, only 1 of which taught knife skills regularly (mine) we had explorers who didn't know how to open a Swiss army knife

[plucky scroll]

It’s funny actually, POR recommends using Swiss Army knives to start off knife skills, but I think they’re more dangerous than they’re worth

[tidal gale]

Safety hazard

What country doesn’t use knives?

[elfin shadow]

i'd love to see them try and cook food without knives

[tidal gale]

Yeah lol

[ruby cliff]

Just use a spoon lmao

[elfin shadow]

Cutting ingredients?

[ruby cliff]

Spoon

Just a very sharp spoon

[glass crypt]

Lol sounds like a nightmare

[raven gazelle]

I’m surprised you’re not British

[opaque oyster]

Probably a former british colony

[dense saddle]

Parang (Malay knife used for chopping/slicing) and pocket knives

[scarlet tulip]

I'm Pilipino

[scarlet tulip]

I meant when camping on school groundsT-T

But it were in outdoor camps like Jamboree or cltc were allowed

[tidal gale]

Oh ok lol

[elfin shadow]

I literally have a knife on my keyring lol.
Though i didnt take that to school.
We factor it into our risk assessments and most of the time we dont have any issues with people bringing knives.
More injuries come from chopping food...

[quaint anvil]

i use a classic victorinox

[tacit marsh]

still need a knife

[plucky scroll]

Bought another one this week in Portugal

The iguanadon by böker

[raven gazelle]

I have the V42 by Böker

[plucky scroll]

That’s a fighting knife 💀

[raven gazelle]

yeah ik

It's cool

[dense saddle]

I'm looking to get a new knife, are Opinels nice?

[ruby cliff]

Depends on what you are gonna use it for

[lunar oak]

Cant go wrong with an opinel or mora

[ruby cliff]

just get both

mora for the more heavy cutting or splitting wood, and opinel for the smaller stuff

[fierce bobcat]

Not allowed to carry them in the UK

[spring crystal]

well normally carry two knifes with me, one that never changes is my SAK fieldmaster and other one is either a morakniv or a walmart version of a benchmade bugout

[plucky scroll]

not strictly true

you can carry them with just cause

going to scouts/a pioneering activity is a just cause

I take locking folding knives with me to cubs/camps and its completely fine

[fierce bobcat]

I cant where i am 😭

[spring crystal]

do you recommend it?

[raven gazelle]

Yes it's absolutely worth it. It is a super cool thing to have. But the sheath is unfathomably long

Get a custom sheath or else you're gonna have to deal with this:

[plucky scroll]

What you ever going to use it for?

[raven gazelle]

I just have it as a novelty item, I can technically carry it for self defense at my age although I’d rather just wait till 21 and get a handgun because even if it was in self defense any case where a minor is carrying a full-length double-edged dagger is very suspicious

[strange spruce]

Classic opinel 8

[spring crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/meu-gif-27420939

[spring crystal]

dont worry about it

[spark breach]

One of the base Morakniv models

It used to be so shiny

Need to get/make a new strop for it, but it's been with me for like 5 years

[arctic granite]

heard about them, pretty good reviews for what i heard

[deep ibex]

Foxly

[dense saddle]

Used it for about a month, very very useful.

[normal totem]

Since a few months I've been using the böker little dvalin tanto style. Its actually more a little axe than a knife but really fun to use

[arctic granite]

Nothing like the good ol swiss army knife

[wicked comet]

i need this I NEED THIS

[plucky scroll]

Why

What would that be practical for

That’s a stabby stabby

[wicked comet]

wood cutting

[plucky scroll]

How on earth will that help for wood cutting

[wicked comet]

maybe

[plucky scroll]

I have 3 knives on me rn and all three would be more useful for chopping wood than that

[wicked comet]

Perfect for hunting (I slaughter chicken and fish)

[plucky scroll]

Fair ig

[wicked comet]

and aesthetically excellent knife

[plucky scroll]

It looks more like a clench grip tho

[wicked comet]

dagger

[plucky scroll]

Agree to disagree

[wicked comet]

My aesthetic taste is weird

[plucky scroll]

Feel like you’d like this tho

[wicked comet]

7/10

[plucky scroll]

So that’s Damascus steel and antler

[wicked comet]

What was the correct use of this?

[plucky scroll]

This is fully titanium

[wicked comet]

nice

[plucky scroll]

7/10

[wicked comet]

ok

I will make a collection

[plucky scroll]

This is my most recent purchase

That’s my edc collection

I get a new knife at every international event I go to

[wicked comet]

The green knife handle is very nice

[plucky scroll]

Yeah it’s super comfy

[wicked comet]

[summer fulcrum]

This looks like the knife from the scouts canada scout shop

[dense hearth]

[ruby cliff]

[plucky scroll]

[dense hearth]

[ruby cliff]

You have a foto?

[dense hearth]

[strange spruce]

[lethal pivot]
