Not sure what it is about this one, but it seems to be completely “unloosable”. Every time I temporarily “misplace” it, it finds its way back. It spent one winter and early spring outside by the dock up at my in-laws place in the Adirondacks, after I lost it outside while ice fishing. A house guest found it the next summer. It actually spent the last couple weeks up here again, when I forgot it down on the nightstand in one of the downstairs bedrooms on our prior trip. Somehow, it ended up hidden behind the alarm clock. No worries, I got it back again. Before I had that, as my “edc” knife, I’d go thru one or two a year. I’ve got a drawer full of backups now, which I rarely need. I carried this little “Outdoor Times” USA Case, the last couple weeks. Back to the “spare drawer” with that, when we get home from this trip tomorrow. Old Reliable Imperial is back again. I was very thankful to have it back yesterday, when I used the ground down small blade as a screwdriver to adjust the carburetor screw on my 1950 Mercury Super-5 outboard motor: t That got me out to some nice 4th of July smallmouth bass:

Sometimes, the best value is in the bargain boxes. I took a liking to Imperial, years ago.

This little “razor blade stainless” Imperial is what I’ve been carrying camping for about the last 15 years. I got it from a $ 1 box at the Alexander Steam show. It took me about 20 minutes of sorting thru that box to find one that was made in USA. The small blade had a busted tip, which I reformed on a bench grinder. I broke the bone off one side of the grip in a campfire knife/axe throwing contest about 4 years ago. A little JB weld and a file made for an easy fix.

Goodness, you want to pay $2000 for a camping knife?? Never heard of this brand but I took a look at the link and I've seen way nicer custom made knives for WAY less money. Anyway, you surely DON'T need to pay big money for a camping knife. Lots of brands out there that will get the job done for not much money. Kabar is surely good and even the Swedish knives by Mora don't cost much at all yet will get the job done for camping type work. Camping type work can be tough on any knife. I would imagine that breaking a $2000 knife would ruin ones camping trip pretty quick.

I agree with Doc, those pricey knives for me are more of a collector's item than something to be used for hard work. I also agree that the Kabar military knife is a very good choice for an all around hard use camping-bush knife, top notch construction and USA made. Al Bing Videos

Those knives by Noblie are pretty darn pricey. They are pretty to look at, but I would never want to actually use it when paying that price. My favorite knife for all around use is the old standard army surplus Kabar style knife. Just grind off the upper sharp edge for safety, and you will have a very durable, and indestructible knife that will do everything from whacking limbs when clearing shooting lanes to cutting up your steak for dinner. The Army chose good steel when picking that knife, It holds an edge real nice, but is also easy to sharpen to a razor sharp edge. Not anything fancy to look at, but one tough knife.

Hey folks, I’m looking for a new camping knife that can handle everything from food prep and firewood work to general camp tasks. Something rugged but not bulky — and ideally with some craftsmanship behind it. I’ve been checking out some knives by Noblie, and they definitely caught my eye. Beautiful builds with high-end materials, but I’m wondering how they perform in actual outdoor use. Anyone taken one on a trip? Thanks for any suggestions
