What knives do you depend on in the woods?

[ignium]

I'm curious as to what knives or other handy tools people bring with them when they go hiking.

Most times, if I'm in the woods you will find me with just a simple lock blade knife (nothing tactical just normal knife) and a multi-tool of some sort. If you are only on a day hike, you should only plan a small emergency kit that will get you through the night if need be.

Leatherman Wave when hiking and doing outdoor stuff. Otherwise the Wave stays in the truck.

Benchmade Osborne 940 at all times. Always.

Swiss Army Tinker model in winter jacket.

Kershaw Leek
Leatherman Super Tool
Case Masonic Hobo Trapper
Sometimes a Victorinox SwissChamp (unless there's a Kahr K9 in that pocket).

This is every day, not just for walking in the woods.

I always wear a SOG Power Plier in a belt pouch; and usually have either a CRKT Alaska Bwana, SOGAirSOG, or Spyderco Jot Singh Khalsa clipped in the pocket.

SHMBO sees this as an improvement over the Buck 110 I carried on my belt at our wedding.

Leatherman and a superknife.

I'm preferential to Gerber knives for purely sentimental reasons. I keep one clipped in the pocket at all times. This is it: http://www.gerbergear.com/product.php?model=5871

I keep a Recoil tool around me (laptop bag, backpack, or on my belt). This is it:

Both have survived years of day hikes, daily usage, and being used in a manner probably not thought of by the designers.

USGI folding utliity knife that I've had since Desert Storm I keep with me always. Buck 110 that I've had for nearly 30 years on my belt. An old Case XX folder in my Camel Pack, and the best tool in the woods I've ever seen - a Woodsman's Pal (originally issued to the Signal Corps in 1942).

I carry a spyderco endura in my pocket and a older old henry in my pack.
