I refrain from using my folders for food duty unless I absolutely can't avoid it; I hate cleaning gunk out of the joints. And I wholeheartedly subscribe to the "duplicate" knife philosophy. One to use day-to-day, one to stash.

OK, so I actually carry three or four on a day-to-day basis if you include the Classic SAK, Moneyclip SAK, Leatherman Wave, *and* the "real" EDC knife (currently a First Production Run Gerber Air Frame fine edge with the machined Titanium handles), but the good ones all have twins...in the Air Frame's case the twin is a "1 of 1000" serrated AL-handle Air Frame.

But anyway, my camp stash also includes a couple of Henckels kitchen knives, a 6" chef's and a 4" utility. Nothing like a good kitchen knife for preparing food.

An extra knife or two is worth the added weight, to me. The Classic is for nail-clipping and package opening, the Moneyclip really only gets used as a money clip, the Leatherman gets used for DIY/repair jobs, and the "real" EDC knife stays sharp in my pocket. Before the Air Frame's, I was carrying a couple of Air Ranger's, which are the same design, and those *did* get used more often, so I'm confident I can handle the Air Frame's well, when needed.
