That corkscrew has quite a bit of uses other that corks. I have used it to pull O-rings, snap rings, the hook shape for pulling knots out...and several other uses. Also a good spot for the small screwdriver

That was a great answer about sharpening to a 17° edge, and if it rolls, throw a 20° edge over it. I've done this before with great results. It's "almost" like the slight convex you get when using stones...

For DCA, boy scout knives is a more complex discussion. As an adult leader, I carry a Victorinox swiss tool on my belt and a spyderco tenacious in my pocket. I also recommend Leatherman waves and Ontario rats for leaders. For boys, recommend the Victorinox tinker or hiker. For boys I also recommend 420hc lock back knives by Buck. Easy to sharpen and the lock back mechanism is easy for kids to use.

I recall carrying a Victorinox, a little Case, 2 blade knife and about a 6' fixed blade that I got from trading in bottle caps..I'm sure it was top notch.

When I was in boy scouts oh so many years ago, I carried a generic swiss army knife, a folding knife with a leather sheath, and in my backpack a large fixed blade. Of course in my troop one of the fundraisers was wood sells. We would cut, split, deliver, and stack it. I used a chainsaw a few times and a hydraulic splitter many times.

Over the years I have used various stones, and ceramic rods to sharpen knives. But the best sharpening system I've ever seen is on the Smith's tri-hone. The fine stone on the kit will sharpen D-2 or any other steel to a sharpness that you could shave with. Really and truly sharp, and the D-2 will hold that edge quite well.

Here's a question for a future KnifeAQ. I sometimes work in an area where there is a blade length restriction of 2" and below. I am not a big fan of carrying automatics, but I appreciate what some of the California legal auto options offer - A substantial handle and blade but without exceeding the 2" limit. For example, the Pro-Tech Halfbreed and Hogue Microswitch come to mind. These are more durable and comfortable to hold than say a Spyderco Ladybug or SAK. My question to you is, "Are there any non-automatic folders with a 2" blade that can stand up to heavier EDC tasks?" A pocket clip is a plus.

Another good recommendation for the Boy Scout pocketknife is the Fieldmaster. Only $38 at KC. But… I do agree with DCA about the corkscrew and would go with Huntsman. It’s the same as the Fieldmaster but the 3D Phillips driver is swapped for a corkscrew. Many handle colors available too. As a bonus, you can store a micro screwdriver or a small fire steel in the corkscrew itself. You’ll loose the three dimensional Phillips but the can opener works as a 2D Phillips driver.

I regularly use it for light chopping and wood prepping (for fires - inc. batoning) with no problems (although grey finish comes off easy). I've had zero problems with the edge. However, the overall knife design is simply not chopping focused and it's not an efficient chopper. If you're looking for a hard use chopper or intend to chop logs etc. look elsewhere.

Having watched Dutch Bushcraft Knives beat the absolute hell out of a Benchmade Bugout, that would probably be an excellent choice for this. Nice stee, light, and strong. I personally use a Paramilitary 2 for my gutting/skinning and have used it for feathersticks (as well as farm work daily for years) without issue. Whatever you're looking for, with the gutting/skinning you definitely want phosphour bronze washers and open back construction so all the gooey bits are easy to keep out and clean. An ESSE Izula may also work for you, I use mine to process birds and fish but it's not light and the carbon steel either requires care and cleaning (or constant use!) to keep rust away. So! Hopefully that's some food for thought and happy hunting and knife buying!
