On my person:
Benchmade RSK Mk 1 Folder or similar quality folder.
Prefer the S30V over the 154CM.
On my belt or gear:
EESE 3
On my pack:
Gransfor Bruks Small Forest Ax
An ax is an ax, a big knife is still just a knife.
Cheers

I carry
Spyderco Endura
Gerber Diesel Multi tool
I'm still looking for the perfect fixed. I want a 6" to 8" blade, nice and wide with a convex gring. I think a Swamp Rat Rodent 6 is about perfect. I don't do a lot of splitting big wood with knives. I would use a saw or ax(I have a gerber fiskar ax that rocks) to fell bigger standing dead trees. This all changes depending on location, season, and distance.
Pure bail out is
Rodent 6 or Esee 6
Esee Junglus or Rodent 9
Sawvivor or medium ax

Seen on Amazon about that price, but not sure they are from legit suppliers.

Would be worthless if it couldn't be sharpened. Chisel blades, like all designs, have their pros/cons and some love them. I'm sure other true blade/knife experts here can further comment best practice for sharpening.

I'm no expert, just learning really. But I did pickup a few recommended items:
Kabar Becker BK2
Kabar Kukri
Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel
Leatherman Wave
I have about 6 Kershaw folders, but I'm not sure which one I would carry into the woods, either my Blur or Speedbump because of Sandvik steel. Also, with weight being an issue, I'm not sure which of the above I'd leave behind, might be too much to carry all of them.
I enjoy reading responses on this.
