Wasn't sure about 'fair use', so here's just a link: Compact, light, and sufficient Been using somethings like this for 40 years.

cmg, I've been thinking of using the smaller of the three Victorinox knives in your picture having used them in the kitchen for years but was wondering how you carry it - do you simply stick it in a blade protector and then in your pack or have you made a sheath/scabbard for it?
Have considered getting a simple scabbard made that holds two of them.

Geeman,
I made fixture to my packframe for mine to ugly I will not post a pic of it.
Fashioned in the field - just two slaps of wood taped together and onto the strap.
Works, if it does not look good.
There was however a gentleman somewhere in the US that made the neatest kydex neck sheaths for these knifes.
I really great idea - I just do not have a link. Perhaps someone can help out?

My prefered one, Chris Reeve's Ubejane. The best steel I ever had. It still shaves after field dressing 5 deer.

A Marbles drop point design I bought while visiting Smokey Mountain Knifeworks in 2003 - has become my favorite skinning knife.

Can't post pics from my computer on this site. My current processor is that Alpha with the CPM S30v steel- sweet. Not the best handle but its light, the saw is handy and its the only knife I've owned that can do 2 elk without touchup. I have a little Dozier folder in D2 but haven't had a chance to use it much

The C48 Wegner (Bottom) is a gem. Done 5 caribou at a setting without resharpening. The Middle Impala is for Moose (better skinner) and the Ocelot (Top) is an amazing blade.

INGWE, I ordered that Randall 7-5" with the ebony handle at the Randall shop in 1964 and received it in 1965. I think they are up to about a 4 yr waiting list now.
