knives
I have several knives i use depending on where i am detecting, don't like to bring any that are to big any where near tot lots. I have one i favor that is about like Gary's survival knife. I brought it back from the Philippines and it is pretty heavy duty.
I've got several regular folding knives including the Swiss Army style, but a very useful one is a multi-tool folding knife, and a survival knife with neat supplies in the handle.
I don't have a picture right now of my folding multi-tool but it is something similar to this (I should have at least 2 multi-tool knives)

Here is the survival knife I have, it was only $9.99 (obviously this one would be not be carried on you all the time)

Thanks David! It wasn't expensive at all. I think I've got about $35 in it.
I've got several CFK blades. In this pic the bottom two on the right, and the first, fourth, and fifth on the left are all CFK's. (what appear to be scratches on some blades are only reflections)

Philippine's bolo knives
you would probably like some of the knives they hand make in the Philippines in their black smith shops. https://www.bing.com/images/search?...pvt=philippine+bolo+knives+for+sale&FORM=IGRE

I'd like a Bolo and a Kriss. There are some nice examples in that link.

I really like the look of that wood scaled Damascus Longhair. Nice collection!
That's the prettiest thing I've seen in a while. I had a large collection of pocket knives at one time. Got rid of them years ago,..too hard to keep clean...just really more of a gun guy. But this did get my attention,...May have to get a quote on one. Went to the guys website,...he also does some custom work with old coins,.. go figure lol.

That is a beauty. CFK?
Have a number of knives, but my go-to is a CRKT M-18, now sold as the M-21. Just has the right feel for me.

Yeah, he does some really nice work, and is a super nice guy in person. Very meticulous about where he sources his wood, bone, horn and the silver coins he inlays as well.

My everyday carry is a Camillus TL-29 Electricians knife. Great steel that holds a keen edge, sharpens easy and locks open good and tight even without a mechanical lock. ( though the screwdriver blade does lock mechanically ) I started carrying it 12 years ago when I lost my old school Barlow.

it ain't fancy, it ain't "tactical", but it's built to last and cuts like a laser. Dirt cheap too. you wont find a better knife at twice the price....
