Members,
As many of you know, the lovely Elizabeth had a major shoulder surgery this past Wednesday. She is doing well..."but"...I'm "on the docks" for another month or two. In other words, "Cabin Fever" is setting in on the Ol' Captain...(aargh)!
So...What's say you about building a RMK for "Cabin Use"? No other qualifications. Just a knife you would take with you to your cabin for:
* Fishin'
* Huntin'
* Campin'
* Kitchen
* Etc.. Etc..
What say you> Anybody in?
Let me know,
Capt. Chris

How about 4.5" Denmark Special with a little broader blade? Should be a good slicer and general purpose knife.

Or a Yukon skinner with less upsweep? And perhaps start with the 3/16 stock.

I think each gets to a similar place from a different direction.

Edit : I thought this was more a theoretical question, or a fantasy scenario.

For an actual existing model, I'd go with the Denmark Special.

Anything we could do creatively with a Model 10, it is titled "Household Utility" after all.

Since you started the thread with a fishing reference ("on the dock"), let's go for something of the fisherman variety.

Man, I’m in on this one!
Thinking a model 10 in 5”.
As always, I’m here to learn and I believe I’m about to get some learning!

I'm in! I'm starting to think for my use, and my limited knowledge as well as number of RMK models, the model 25 is it. Great edge geometry for camp, or cabin, kitchen. Obviously excellent on game and works well for other camp chores realistically expected of a knife

Much like the previously mentioned model 10, unfortunately, I don't think there much "building" we can do on either?

Model 25 would be a good project knife.
