knife for wood cutting?

Bk2 $52 on amazon. I suppose you have more to spend if you want. I'll post up pics of my beckers tomorrow.

Have a couple Falkniven knives., F1 and a A1. Both have convex grinds. A convex grind works well for chopping/cutting wood.

I've cut up branches with both to try them out, worked well. Slow going, but doable.

Here's just a couple pics of my two beckers. A bk2 and bk11. My bk11 is my edc, horizontal carry at 11 o'clock. Bk2 stays in my get home bag along with a tiny strop shown in the pics, and a Leatherman Wave. Last but not least, my Gransfors Bruks, small forest axe is in my "Tools" bag.

Tools bag explanation: I have a family, so clothes and general camping, GTHOOD type stuff is a massive endeavor to keep organized, and undoubtedly something will be overlooked or forgotten. This is where my 'tools' bag comes in. I know if my wife or I have only one bag to grab, it's that one. She knows it, I know it. My family can forget or lose comfort, clothes, entertainment for the two young ones, etc. While this category would be a terrible thing to overlook or forget, I know the truly important 'tools' are all together and accounted for. It includes everything not pertinent to 'get home' survival and lends more towards stuff for comfort, like an axe, multi-fuel stove, better sharpening tools and larger strop, better rain gear, small tarp, larger capacity water filter, extra ammunition, firearms cleaning supplies, crank radio, simple Ti pot to boil water, a bit of cash, etc.

Thanks for looking. Keep your powder dry.

Cheers,
Matt

I definitely want a F1 one day, just so much $ to part with.

I also like the Condor Knife and Tool offerings. Definitely something for you guys to take a gander at. Carbon steel and leather sheaths at budget pricing.

Check out the tests on the Kukri. Can be found for around $18. I have several more expensive knives but I also have several Cold Steel Kukris. Can't beat it for the money.
