Nowadays: Which ones??

Nowadays: Which ones?? - 01/21/21 05:53 PM

So: Without getting into any "specifics" as to what's to expect "nowadays", I was wondering...What Randall knife, if you only had "4" to chose from, would you prefer for:
* EDC
* Hunting
* Fishing
* Camping
* Bug-out!
That's correct. "4" knives and "5" categories. What'll it be? Let's hear from you. You don't have to already own any of them...or...you can have all 4 in your possession. It matters not and photos would be great, if possible.
This topic is "Randall-related" only. If you have a favorite pocket knife, etc. (Hunter's Pal)...you can certainly mention them but let's talk our 4 "go-to" RMKs for this discussion.
Thanks...and Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

Hunting—Model 3 5”
Fishing—Model 10 5"
Camping—Model 5 6”
Bug-out—Model 28 or Model 18 7-1/2”

The way I read the Capt.’s question - 4 knives for 5 categories - one has to do double duty. So:

EDC - 27M Copper Mini
Hunting & Fishing - 7-5 Fisherman-Hunter, standard
Camping - 5-6 Angier style
Bug-out - 18-7.5” Attack Survival, knurled with compass

* EDC 3 inch Model 10
* Hunting 4 inch Model 11
* Fishing Denmark
* Camping Denmark
* Bug-out Model 15

Those choices are based on what I have, but I don't know that another blade would be better.

Here are my picks:
EDC - 4-6
Hunting - 23
Fishing - 7-5
Camping - 4-6
Bug-out - 14

I could substitute a 3-6 or a sergeant for the 4-6, and could substitute a 26 for the 7-5.

Captain, this is a fun thread to read.

Hey folks,
I am (just now) getting around to a response to these very fine examples you have shown in all categories! Well Done! Mine are going to take a bit of time to "go through" so be patient...please! I urge everyone to contribute, if not by posting pics then by comment/s.

Below: No question, my #1..."Go-To" EDC would be one of my 2 RMK Model #10-3 1/2 inchers! Hard-to-find and limited to only one short run (maybe 50 or less) the 3 1/2 inch version of RMK's utility "Saltwater-Fisherman" is bestest...for me anyway!
GCTom will remember me actually using this little guy at one of our infamous "Steak Dinners" at The Blade Show. I, besides the original JRB, have had 2 additional sheaths made for this and my other #10-3.5. I have also had one made "for me" by one of my "kin"!
Hope you like this choice...
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

Re: Nowadays: Which ones?? - 02/20/21 11:57 AM

Same knife, sheaths by Greg Gutcher, Kenny Rowe and Mudbone...
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: I think I have "all" EDC scenarios covered...How 'bout you guys?...CCS
