What is the purpose of carrying a knife out in a safari..

I always carry my granddads buck knife that was handed down to me while hunting. Usually, it's only used to whittle or open a snack. A nice fixed blade on your side might bring some comfort while in a foreign land. It's always a welcomed gift in addition to a tip. Besides, it just looks cool.

Lovely handle on that knife.

I am in Africa as I respond and am totally miserable as I didn’t pack my LB-7 which always comes with me along with a sheath knife of some sort. The folder comes in handy for removing small thorns from various body parts and on this trip would have been useful to cut a piece of moleskin for a blister.

@chris275 nice you are able to carry a family heirloom - my Father and Grandfather ALWAYS had a pocket knife on them wherever they were…they are handy and once you get use to carrying one you can NOT live without it. I use mine multiple times a day, a useful tool

Just finished my latest two week safari. I just loved wearing my new Von Gruff knife even though it was not needed
