Im a bit unsure what I want to run for knives next year. Whats everyones goto set up for the knives you carry, especially backpacking/camping?
I like to have a general use Spyderco folder on me (in my pocket, or hip pouch of my backpack). And I have a havalon in my kill kit.
Havelons are good, but I like using a larger knife also while breaking down an animal. Do you guys carry a 3rd knife or use your general knife?
If you use your general knife during the breaking down process, do you find its sharp enough? I don't plan on sharpening in the field.
I like breaking an animal down better with a fixed blade instead of a folder and will pick up a good one this season, but Im not sure if throwing a fixed blade in my pack that only comes out if an animal is getting packed out, is the right idea, and I dont know about carrying one on my belt with a pack on instead of the folder.
