Hey /k/illers, What is the best all round knife. Something

>using a filet knife for whittling
Wew

Mora. Old hickory.

But really, it's so easy for modern manufacturing to produce a decent knife that it doesn't even matter. A whetstone is more important

Bayonets are pretty terrible tools and are generally only good for stabbing.

There's no knife that's good at everything. A knife that's decent at multiple things is a compromise.

Look into outdoors/bushcraft designs.

I meant for scraping bark off for kindling.

I wouldn't use a bayonet for any of that. You'd be better off with a Mora. And you really should be "cutting wood" with any knife, I'm assuming you mean by batoning? That's a good way to get a severe laceration. Whittling will be fine but cutting big one is a big no-no for a Mora. Gutting, skinning, filleting is all delicate work and you need an appropriate blade for it.

cold steel ti-lite

Gerber prodigy or strongarm. Only because I value being able to cut through my car roof or use the glass breaker to fuck shit up if I had to. The thing is thick enough to pry without breaking too.

Enjoy cutting your hands if you ever have to stab something. The only reason they opt to not put any sort of hilt on it is because Swedish law would then classify it as a weapon rather than a tool. It's literally a cucked knife.

The 511 and the Robust both have hilts on the bite side.

There is no single knife design that would be good for that all, but you might want to look into Finnish puukko knives. Their basic design was developed over centuries especially for working wood, so they excel in that. Notice that there are a lot of blade designs available and while they are remarkably good utility/bushcraft knives you should pick one with blade design that best suits for the purposes that are a priority for you.

You might want to consider getting a separate knife for filleting fish if you intend doing it a lot. Finnish puukko-manufacturers make separate knife blade design (which is useless for working wood) for that specific purpose with blade that is long, narrow and thin. For whittling one should get a puukko that has rather short blade (less then 4 inches).

Mora (being Swedish) is rather similar to typical puukko knife, but lower quality & cheaper in general.

terava skrama from varusteleka is reportedly great for bushcraft.

>a knife thin enough to fillet a fish, but strong enough to cut wood
Man up and carry enough tools for the jobs you'll encounter. Don't even THINK about using a knife for processing a meaningful amount of wood, a hatchet or axe is the only way to go if you want it to last. Batonning is a meme.

4-6 inch utility knife. Or just buy a multitool/swiss army knife.

>Gutting, skinning, filleting is all delicate work and you need an appropriate blade for it.
I'll make allowances for special cases, but having gutted, skinned and filleted with nothing more special than whatever was handy at the time, I'll venture to say that all those things can be done just fine with any old dull and rusty Mora knife. Specialised knives can help, or even be preferable (my mate who used to work as a butcher has a good handful he brings with him), but it's very well possible to make do without them if you're just doing those things on a hobby basis, which is what I gather the OP needs his knife for.

The cheap ones with the hollow plastic handle, or the slightly more expensive ones with a gummy grip. Maybe buy their ball knife if you're expecting to do a lot of gutting, but one of those will last you forever since you only really need it for one or two cuts every time.
Buy a pack of the cheap ones, and bring two knives with you when you expect to use them. When you've sharpened them down to a toothpick's size or they break in half or whatever happens after a few months of hard use, you can throw it the fuck away with no hard feelings because it's a piss cheap beater knife.
