If you could have only 2 knives?

[9x56MS]

A buck 110 folder and a Ka-bar fighting knife.

First thing that comes to mind is how the heck am I ever going to have a family dinner. If you mean for myself, I would take a butter and a steak ...... I know, I know; take my trusty griptilian and a larger fixed blade Morakniv Kansbol. Its just that only two is kind of harsh.

 

[CapnMac]

Shoot, I can't even cook with just two knives . . .

 

[HoploDad]

A Demko edc, even in the AUS10A guise is a joy to carry and use. The locking mechanism is fantastic. One-handed opening and closing is simple with a little practice. That and my High Road 10-year anni knife for field dressing a white tail or an axis, and I'm good.

Perhaps we're looking at this backwards. We've been trying to be inclusive about what a knife is, while we should be restrictive. That way we leave all our axes and multitools out of consideration leaving them available as not knives.

Yeah! That's the ticket!!!

 

[Bazoo]

Let's say axes and multitools, machetes, and your kitchen knives are safe. Unless you use a hunting knife for a kitchen knife, or a butcher knife for a general purpose field knife.

I could certainly make do with a good drop point fixed blade and an old USA made Old Timer stockman, however lately I'm getting a lot of more use out of my SAK, Opinel, and Spyderco
Sadly, my Buck Folding Hunter and Presidio seldom leave the drawer

 

[Bazoo]

The old timer 34ot is a fine little knife. I carried one close to 10 years. I still have it, but it's just a touch small for me.

The jumbo case stockman fits my hand better. I think I'd like the large stockman best but ain't had a chance to try one.

I might get. A large old timer. They sure look like the right size. I just rather have something other than plastic scales.

Go, Navy.

 

[aarondhgraham]

A Sharpfinger for skinning,,,
And a bowie (or small machete) for chopping.

Two knives? Yeah right! My collection of sharp edged items is too big to settle for two. And the little collection I have doesn't even compare to what others here have!

 

[Elkins45]

Some sort of 4-5” dropped point fixed blade and a Spyderco Para2. Maybe a Fallkniven F1 or Entrek Javalina.

 

[earlthegoat2]

Buck Vanguard and a multi tool.

 

[The Night Rider]

If I had to pick two it would be my Strongarm as a field knife and my Benchmade 710 for a general purpose pocket knife.

Multitools apparently don't count so I'd also have my Gerber Multitool

Yeah you might get a few sideye looks buttering your toast with a Kabar fighting knife.

 

[borrowedtime69]

My Esees. My Junglas & either my Esee 4 or 6. Esees are my perfect knives for the money, 1095 high quality steel, drop point, micarta grips and great sheaths.

 

[CapnMac]

Having given this considerable thought, as this is an incredibly strict requirment, my two would be a 10" chef's knife and a USN Mk1. Paring veggies with a chef's knife is possible, just cumbersome, as would be boning fowl or fish.

Seems a wicked sort of Perdition to be denied my multi-tools, the several Gentleman's Companions and, of course, all my Bokers . . .
