I’ve had plenty go through my possession but unlike some, I believe one can have to many. With everything, I only like to own the best I can find and afford for its given task.
From the top down
The hatchet is self explanatory.
Southfork was only cause I wanted to try it. I’ll probably sell it or turn it into a boat knife when the current boat knife goes diving without me.
The Crotts is my primary hunting knife
Dozier Yukon pro is my backup hunting knife or for international trips
Dozier freedom fighter is my pig hunting knife.
Phil Wilson filleting knife is my primary but doesn’t go on the boat cause I don’t want it to go swimming “accidentally”.
North arm is my boat filleting knife
I’ve got three of those PM2’s. One in m390, one in CPM 20cv and another in my safe in Canada in CTS-204p. I brought two here in case I break or lose one and left one there for when I’m visiting the old country.
The old timer was grandpa’s and never gets used.
I’ve got three leathermans. One in the boat, one in the truck and one in my pocket at work.
The spyderco waterway is my boat knife because it can’t rust and it handles all the cutting out at sea.
To the best of my knowledge I don’t have any holes in the collection although Phil Wilson is building me a larger filleting knife. Mostly for larger fish where my current 7” blade is to short and also to have a spare in the event this one goes missing one day.
I’ve also got my grandfathers and old man’s hunting knives packed away in a sea can back in Canada but have no plans on ever using any of them. They’ll get passed on one day when the kids or grandkids are ready.
