deffo 1 with a stanley type blade, various different shapes n sizes out there but get 1 that has storage for a few spare blades, they need a squirt of wd40 now n then to keep sliders or blade catches running free but as soon as blade is blunt turn around till blunt again then replace, far simpler than sharpening knives

Carving knife with the blade cut down here, keep it in the loader. Just remember to take it out before you go down the road in case you get pulled.

Opinel.

 

[Matt77]

Opinel here too, this ones at least 6 years old, just sharpen it on the concrete barn up rights, admittedly the blades getting down now but I think it’s done well enough.

 

[Shavings man]

Opinel again got no 8 carbon sharpens well with diamond file.

Get a serrated one. They are the business for plastic and string.

 

[Extreme Optimist]

One of these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rolson-Too...fe&qid=1576429795&sprefix=rols,aps,165&sr=8-3
Great knife. Stanley for the plastic, standard blade for the strings

[Matthew Britton]

Opinel here and have been for years and years, they make a great pocket knife, the inox ones don’t rust either!

Opinel here as well. No7 is my preferred size, but currently have a no8. Carbon blade and wooden handle means that if I drop and lose it, it'll end up rusting/rotting/getting chewed by the pigs till there's nothing left. Plus they're cheap to replace.

Keep it sharp by flashing over it with a steel hanging up in the boot room. Test sharpness by shaving arm hairs.

Only downside is the blade is hard to open when the handle has got wet and swollen up.

We use them here as much for tradition as anything else, although we haven't found anything that fits our system better overall.
