One of the first things that you have to consider when camping is the type of knife that you will bring to your journey. Of all the many tools that you will bring, the knife is the handiest of them all. It could be used to prepare food, start fires, cut ropes, and even ward off wild animals — a true survival tool indeed.
Wes Siler states that there are three questions that you should ask yourself in order for you to know the ideal knife to buy for your camping trip. The three questions are:
- How are you going to carry it?
- How are you going to sharpen it?
- What are you going to use it for?

The Benchmade 380 Aller is supposedly legal to carry in most countries. Of course, you can tell just by looking at it what conditions had to be met to fit those stringent requirements. Your plan to carry knives with more versatility is probably the wisest choice.

Unfortunately your number 3 seems most important! In my country there are laws forbidding some kind of knifes and other laws forbidding to carry some other kinds of knifes! If it looks cool or not would neither impress a salami nor an attacking wild animal;-) And if you can sharpen it, it nearly does not matter how sharp it is at the beginning of the journey.when going on a camping journey i would surely take at least 3 different knifes with me...
