I always carry 2: one a leather-man tool with razor sharp blade and pliers, the other an NRA folder wooden scales stainless , brass lined with a 4 inch blade, also razor sharp.
They are indispensable on our farm.
If you are looking for decent work knives at fair prices I recommend three sites:
1) Smoky Mountain Knife works: https://www.smkw.com/
2) BudK: http://www.budk.com
3) Atlanta Cutlery: https://www.atlantacutlery.com/
If you want to see the absolute best store in the world, go to Smoky Mountain Knife Works in Seiverville, Tennessee. If it’s a knife, chances are they sell it there.
