Keep it Simple--- and Sharp
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 1/7/2017 | S Haugen

Before heading out on a trek, hunters need to ask themselves a simple question: How many knives do I really need?

When it comes to hunting knives, what do you really need? The question is straightforward, but the answer can become complicated by thoughts of what you want, rather than what you actually need. Personally, I own dozens of knives. They are great tools, and serve a range of purposes. But when I go afield, I keep it simple.

On all the hunts I’ve been fortunate to embark upon around the world, I almost always take only one knife afield. This knife has to be able to withstand punishment and perform to my liking, and it’s also got to be lightweight. When scaling granite peaks for mountain goats and sheep, ounces can feel like pounds after a few days. Read the rest of the knife story here.

[[How many knives do I really need?]]

14- never know when you’ll misplace a few- suppose you misplace 13? PANIC time! Come to think of it- pack 20- just to be safe

Only one, if you're really good with it. :)

In these days, you need one or more on a trek to the grocery store.

Somehow the ‘keep it sharp’ sentiment and ‘lay it on rocks’ photo don’t quite go together.
