Sorry for the extras, but the RAT/now ESEE RC-5 and the KaBar are the points of interest below:



They both are CS - great edge-keeping & resharpening capability. Both are US-made, too. I carried my late Dad's old WWII KaBar, his companion of the So. Pacific, on many a camping trip - great brush clearer and camp furniture maker. A bit large for most camp food prep. A Buck 110 - or a SAK - took care of much of those duties.

The RC-5 is dedicated to my next camping trip - when/if there is one. My wife thinks of a motel as 'camping' now. It is stout - .250" thick. Great 'survival' knife, if a bit heavy.

PS That's a very recent production KaBar - The old one doesn't look quite so good!
