one of my favorite knives

[Scott Young]

i love knives and have boxes of 'em. they have served me well over the years. i have a knife that is not glamorous, but i have grown to using it more than any other knife save my pocket knife. it is a 1/4" thick 10" blade bowie. the clip is as sharp as the blade edge. i use it for everything. i camp and hunt alot. i find it is the only knife that tend to use. i use it for kindling, clearing a path, easy quartering etc. when at the camp i find it is the single tool i use the most. here is a picture of it. i also threw in a picture of my 94 44 mag and a case trapper to show the size. i will admit the knife is ugly, but you won't destroy it.

it is an ontario sp5 bowie

Sometimes, "UGLY" is beautiful. Great knife.

In the last couple of weeks I've come to love a knife a bought some months back. It's called a mini Kabar and it does look similar to it's big brother, but the blade is closer to that of a WWII airman's knife. I'm in the process of removing all the paint or coating from the as I use it for cutting food at times when I'm out and about. I need to learn to post pictures.

The Ontarios are mis-under-appreciated....good strong workers but cheap enough you don't mine actually using the pee out of them........

it is an ontario sp 5 and yall are right it is cheap, well built and tough as can be. i don't mind working it to death cause i don't have a fortune buried in it.

I have a Frontiersman, great knife, prefer it to my others, ( read more expensive ) ones.

Nice piece, you never know when you will need a big knife, folders are always in my pack, but always have big one on my belt.

i use it regularly when i coon hunt. it is better than any machete due to the 1/4 inch blade. it really can hack it's way through the thick. i will end up getting a second and third for my son and daughter. Hunter is in cub scouts. i am stocking him up with camp hatchet, cookware and knife as he progresses. my daughter when she gets up will be in girl scouts and i will do the same for her too. i am planning on getting one of those really nice hatches for them that will last them a life time. i want to instill quality in them be it fine cutlery or great utility. i don't want them to grow up. i am having fun being a dad.

Good for you Scott, there are good things at all stages, my youngest just turned 27. Keep up the good work.

YK,
Look up that picture you posted for me of my knives, the fixed blades picture; the one on the far right.

Ugly is okay if it works. But if it's pretty and works, even better. Here's one of the first catagory. It followed me home when I finished messing around with helicopters.



This one is one that is in the second catagory. Spent yesterday jeepin' in the high desert with this and a Blackhawk as companions.
