The Knife: An Important Tool for the Backcountry

I've decided to go with the Mora Bushcraft Black as my go-to knife in the wilderness.  It is robust enough to do all tasks without me having to worry about failure.  Because it's carbon steel it does require more maintenance, but I'm willing to do what is needed as a trade off for performance and edge retention.  The only problem is that this knife is so popular it's sold out at the store.  I will have to wait a few weeks before I can get my hands on one.

I'll be looking for a nice leather sheath to go with this knife.  This will be my first knife.  I expect to add more to my collection.  The next one is either the Grohmann survival knife or the BOB fieldcraft knife.  We'll see.
