Which knife is the best for camping/hiking? tell me why… or tell me what knife you think is the best…?
The SOG Seal Pup or the Gerber LMF II ?
I am going hiking/camping with my family in July and I want to make sure I have a good knife… if you have a better suggestion then the 2 knives listed above please let me know… thanks
Neither. For camping I have several choices. For a good overall camping knife, I use a a regular fixed blade made by Buck knives. I also have a few excellent survival knives, two of which I bought at Cabela’s. One is made by Fox and is of excellent quality with a high carbon surgical steel blade. The other is a Kershaw outcast knife.
As far as folding knives, I have a buck 110 that was custom made at Buck Knife Mfg that is a very nice and versatile knife.
A cheaper folding knife made by Camelus is excellent and has a speed lever for quick opening and has held up over the years. Another site to check out is buckknives.com
This is a direct link to the Buck Knife Co. They have pretty much everything you need and have a life time warranty on on of their knives and totally stand behing the product.
I collect knives for a hobby and have had many knives in my collection. Sog isn’t bad for the money though. But for an over all good camping knife I would get something that is versatile in several aspects. I sugest checking out the web site for Cabela’s at cabelas.com
