I spent more than a decade in the army and deployed three times (twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan) I love the cold steel Bushman. It’s literally tougher than nails. It is much more knife than I really need but it’s served me without fail and it’s fairly light for its size and toughness. A small stick lashed into the hollow handle makes it into an effective machete. When doing trail maintenance I also bring the cold steel “SF” shovel. It’s a jack of all trades that chops, smashes, and digs with equal ease. It’s MUCH lighter while also sturdier than the issue folding shovel. When I went to the field it was in constant use being frequently borrowed by 1SG and then loaned to a constant stream of idiots on extra duty so that more results might be accomplished for a given amount of labor

I’ve been carrying a Camillus knife like that for 42 years now. It’s been with me on duty and off for all my adventures. Used it last weekend to spread peanut butter on torillas.

I have a knife like the one that was given to you as a kid. I carried it as a teenager and used it all the time. I still have it, but the blade has been sharpened so many times that there is almost nothing left of it. I’ve carried a pocket knife for many years and am so used to having one that I can’t imagine not having one.
