I'm not knowledgeable enough about knives to suggest specifics. Own a Benchmade (heavy) but carry Spyderco (light).

Short sword? Well, if a machete won't do, how about something in a long bayonet?


Effective, affordable and might fit nicely on your new old .308?

PS. Anything happening in St. Pete I need to know about?

Not sure Tom. It was a present from a girlfriend about a hundred years ago. Still think fondly of her. She understood me.

Haz, I have a Gerber Gator that works well for me. It is relatively thin and carries well on my single point rifle sling.

That benchmade 707 looks perfect.  Little pricey but you get what you pay for.

Mac,  DOH! Why didn't I think of the bayonet?  Great idea!

I have had several Kershaw "Ken Onion Black Outs." Good blade, great assist open, reasonable price. That way it doesn't hurt so bad when I lose one(three now) in the woods.

Right now I carry a Gerber Air ranger.  But I have my eye on an Emerson CQC-14 "Snubby" 2 3/4" blade.  Legal in most states.

Haz...I know this is a little bigger 3.25 vs 3 but it is D2 and auto assist opening...check out the Benchmade 672 Apparition.

That's the one I have, great knife. Thought the handle was kydex, it's instead polyamide. Haven't lost it yet, will shed a tear when I do, it is that good. May have to get a back-up "just in case".  :(

Gave up the cheaper knives (these Kershaw Ken Onions are now about $40-50 instead of the $75 when they first came out), they kept falling apart on me before they wore out. Never sorry I went for higher quality.

I also have a Graz bayonet, no edge whatsoever, but one heck of a point.
