Knife Recommendations, please
I'm looking to buy a good general purpose knife - one that can do lots of different things around a campsite [should I find myself in one].
Anyone have any suggestions? Thoughts?

I have a Chris Reeve one-piece-of-steel [which is no longer made, too expensive] but it's really too big. I think the blade is about 12"
I also have the Gerber that is the copy of the Sykes-Fairbairn knife, but that is not a camp knife.
That's a lot for somebody who used to be afraid of knives!
star, I've been looking at that same Gerber. We have a Cabela's trip scheduled this week - sales..........
Thanks, folks! Anybody else?

I'm partial to my SOG knives;

and here's a Gerber I picked up not too long ago that's just winning it's way into my "Panic Bag";

Although they are panned a lot in some survivalist forums, the Gerber series are a great value for the buck and I've not broken one yet - I have dulled them a lot, but they sharpen right up.
Gerber is very good as well.
Have at least 1 non-folder, they are surprisingly versatile since they are not hinged.
I like Gerber, myself.
You should have more than one knife. I carry two on me, used to be 3 or 4. A folding knife, a sheath knife, a Swiss-army style knife, at a minimum. partial serrated blade on the sheath knife might help.
