I like the fixed blade skipper, i think the tools on it are great for the outdoors.

    *  Shackle opener
    * Marlin spike
    * "Compass" emblem
    * Large ergonomic handle
    * Large blade
    * Side blade-lock system
    * Bottle opener
    * Large screwdriver
    * Wire stripper
    * Reamer / punch
    * Sewing eye
    * Pliers
    * Wire cutter
    * Phillips screwdriver
    * Tweezers
    * Toothpick
    * Keyring

Its around £30 If you look on, www.smarter.com, you might get it cheaper or anything else your thinking of getting.

seems to have a lot of stuff that you'll never use outdoors! i always think swiss army knives seem like a good outdoors option but imo just a simple fold away knife will do everything you need it for. I usually use one of these, pretty damn cheap so it doesnt really matter if it gets trashed, but then again i'm not really into this whole bush craft malarky so I prob dont really understand knives in full.

It would suprize you how handly the extra tools would come in chris, there nice little knives also.

Dont get me wrong I know they are cracking little pieces of kit, I'm more of a leatherman err man myself but i only really use it about the house or in the car or something. How often has anyone here used a philips screwdriver or a pair of wire strippers at their wild camp? I only really carry a knife now incase something goes wrong when i'm climbing and i need to cut a rope! (touchwood!) or to make pokey sticks by the fire! just a blade is fine in both those circumstances.

[Wolf_Larson]

I would love a leatherman, but a good one will cost near £100

My Victorinox Swiss Army original Hunter , has a good sharpe blade,  wood saw,  tin openner, bottle openner,  Reamer, Puncher & Sewing Eye,  tent peg puller,  Scissors, toothpick, Tweezers,  Wire Stripper,  Corkscrew

I could use most of the tools on a camp.

sounds like a nice piece of kit. make sure you look after it!

[chris]

woah that sounded kinda sinister , didnt mean it to be! I just ment that i had a knife and i never sharpened it or oiled it or anythin and now its a rusty pile of crap!

[Wolf_Larson]

LOL you have to look after your tools.  

No it did not sound sinister, i dont know much about knives myself. I was going to get a good hunting knife at 1st but there not cheap and look scarey.

Im glad now i did not jump the gun and get one, as i think the Victorinox Swiss Army is the best all rounder, and its not going to make you look like john rambo when pulling it out or put a hole in your pocket.

And like anything else if you look after it, it should look after you.  

Try not be bad to your kinfe im sure its crying out for TLC.

Cheers chris

Or use the tooth pick after eating the horse.
