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

Off the top, thinking these:

EDC—Mini 27 on belt, or Model 28 in bag
Hunting—Model 3 5”
Fishing—Model 10 5"
Camping—Model 5 6”
Bug-out—Model 28 or Model 18 7-1/2”

EDC- Cattleman, WT
Hunting- 7.5" with #6 grind,WT
Fishing- 8-4" wrist thong
Camping- 5-5" Brad
Bugout- 7.5" sawteeth,knurled and compass

Pap

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 - cattleman
* Hunting - #23
* Fishing - #7 4.5
* Camping #14
* Bug-out #14

* 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.

EDC - CCFT
Hunting - #19
Fishing - Sasquatch for filleting big catfish
Camping - #15 FT w/sawteeth
Bug out - #15

*EDC: #10-3"
*Hunting: #20 and #4-5"
*Fishing: #10-5"
*Camping: See Hunting
*Bug-out: #14

Matthias

OK--if only 4 knives...I would modify it (even though with RMKs "more is better")

EDC—Mini 27 on belt, or Model 28 in bag
Hunting—Model 7 5” with Model 6 grind if possible
Fishing—Model 7 5"
Camping—Model 5 6”
Bug-out—Model 28 or Model 18 7-1/2”

EDC/Hunting = 8x... its what I edc now, and what I've hunted with.
Fishing = #10-5"
Camping= #5-6"
Bugout = SSP 4 5/8

* EDC -- 5-4
* Hunting -- GTR
* Fishing -- 10-5
* Camping -- 15CDT with all the trimmings
* Bug-out! -- (see camping)

EDC = 10-3

HUNTING = 11

FISHING = 10-7

CAMPING = fireman

BUGOUT = 15

ANOTHER lurker asked me to post this for...their choices....

EDC-GTR SP
Hunter-m27 copper (rabbits and squirrels)
Fishing-6-9 filet (they have big fishes in Miami)
Camping-SGT model
bugout-4-6Fighter

Here's mine

Very nice Steve. Really like that Camp Mod. 15.

Here are the pics:

My 8-4 old style:


My 10-5:

And one of my 18's:


Matthias

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.

Here are mines:

* EDC : my triathlete
[/img]
* Hunting: a model 3-5"
* Fishing: A model 7 4,5" micarta handle
* Camping: my model 23
[/img]
* Bug-out! My fireman

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

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

Heyyyyy!!! You still have that Mudbone! NICE!<3

Lovin' the Mud!
