I wish I could carry my izula in the office. Iām on an izula kick myself. One of the best designs out there, especially for under 100 bucks.Right now, I'm using an ESEE Izula as my main cutting blade. Sometimes paired with a tiny MT like the SOG Powerpint or a small SAK.
I find that it's worth carrying a separate longer saw, such as the Backcountry Access saw, just because longer saws are infinitely more effective (every inch helps) when you need to clear a downed tree limb blocking the trail or build a fire.
I pulled the trigger awhile back, but now cause of the last few posts, I'm looking at bugouts
There's a lot of options for bags, one that a gentleman on BCUSA turned me onto was the karrimor sabre 35. It seems durable, reasonably priced, and smartly lain out. The weight is actually pretty respectable too. I received mine a week or two ago and I'm in the process of seeing what I can slip in there for an over-nighter. It's a little big for a daypack but not over-weight. I like it more than my kelty redwing 50. Picked up both used so that's always a big bonus.
That's a topic for another thread.
How are you finding your Sabre 35?
I was a big Karrimor fan for 20+ years but then my 4th one (about 10 years ago) didnāt seem to have the quality of the earlier offerings. The closure cord was noticeably thinner and started to fray quite quickly and didnāt run through the ālocking thingā very smoothly. The rucksack material felt flimsier than earlier. One seam started to fray (but didnāt actually fail).
I moved to Tasmanian Tiger at that point for a day pack. I think the model was combat pack or something. But it has been better than perfect for many years.
I might be packing more weight into your bag than you want, but essentially I will either bring my axe or I won't. There's always a; fixed blade, backup folder, and pocket saw. I'd strongly suggest bringing a small fixed blade on top of a folding knife. Of course, you're talking to someone who's been a dummy and got lost in the middle of winter, off trail, at night. I didn't plan my time well and when it got dark, there was some mild cloud cover/haze preventing me from seeing the mountain peaks to triangulate off of, and the rolling hills were killing my ability to walk straight. Long story short, I settled down, built a fire, then made a shelter.Good morning, peeps! I have a question regarding backpacking. I would like to start backpacking soon, and ofcourse this is a excuse to purchase another knife. I do own an esee 3hm, Dpx hest fixed, Buck 101, bk16, bk10, etc..
The best folder for wood processing I've used so far is the ColdSteel FinnWolf. It's currently 35$.So I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions for a small pocket knife, as I'm pretty new to the backpacking world.
For making a fire, I'd highly recommend bringing a pocket saw. Either Bahco Laplander or a Silky variant (I haven't tried yet).So I was wondering about other knives that are around $100 or a little less, that people have had experiences with on their journeys, and how they liked them, as to give me some other ideas on some other knives, that I'm not thinking of. Did that even make sense? Lol! I hope you all understand what I'm trying to get at. Have a great day today as well
For silky saws, I have the silky Gomtaro 300 (11.25ā saw blade, 13 oz) and the silky pocketboy 130 (4.5ā saw blade, 6 oz). I prefer the Gomtaro for any wood thicker than a couple inches diameter.I might be packing more weight into your bag than you want, but essentially I will either bring my axe or I won't.

Edit; for grammar
Great hack!+1 for the Silky Gomtaro. i bought a Gomtaro replacement blade, wrapped the handle with paracord and made a sheath from plastic and duct tape. weighs less than 3oz. can't beat that.
you can get the Gomtaro with a shorter blade.
now that i'm back in switzerland, i mostly hike above treeline, so i carry either a Vic Farmer X,a Vic paring knife or my Fred Perrin neck bowie.
