Top 10 Bushcraft & Camping Fixed-Blade Knives
Full-tang and stick-tang blades that earn their place around a working camp.

If you can only carry one for general Northern woodcraft, a 4–5 inch Scandi in high-carbon steel is the default. Move to stainless in salt or perpetual rain, and to a heavier convex profile when you skip carrying an axe.
