This one’s been with me for 11 years now and it will likely be sharp long after I’m not.

Here, I had just gone through a bunch of stuff for a big batch of chili.
The acidic juices from the tomatoes etched it quickly, but any sort of patina never stays after splitting a few logs.

It’s big and heavy, but it’s my goto around the yard and car camping.

This is my most used big knife, what’s yours?

    I really need to get a khukuri. I have 1 custom fixed blade in 3V that I use for a lot of wood processing. Otherwise a couple Mora’s are always around for a variety of tasks.

      This one is 16.5", 30oz of steel from a truck leaf spring, so likely 5160. It’s differentially hardened so it keeps an edge, but the blade can take a beating.
      With a 3/8" spine and a full tang, it’s not indestructible, but close enough.
      Somewhere between an ax and a knife.
