Here is my favorite, a recent Xmas present from my dad, handmade by him, right down to the shealth. It’s a candian belt knife style, with the handle made of ancient swamp Kauri from New Zealand.
I have also been extremely impressed with benchmade. I had a mini-griptilian that was my go-to knife for years. I left it stuck into a tree at a backcountry campsite about a year and half ago. I re-visited the campsite a couple weeks ago and found my knife 90% buried in the dirt. I was amazed that I even found it, but even more amazed that it was not much worse for wear after the year and a half in the elements. I ended up using it for the next 3 days after a bit of a rinse in the river.
I figured this thread could use a bump back to the front page.
IA hat in the New Zealand backcountry:

Help me out with this one…A swimmer was attacked and killed by a shark, supposedly a Great White, off one of Auckland’s west coast beaches the other day.
Cheers guys, it was a great trip even though the fishing wasn’t as good as anticipated.
Simon, we got a few browns in the paddock. Got a rainbow too, which I didn’t even think were in there. Didn’t see any deer, but the hunter we shared the hut with got a pig his first night there and a deer the next morning. Heaps of sign everywhere. Fish numbers were way down in the headwaters…I expect still an effect of the flood a couple years ago. There were a few fish about though. 😉
