I have a big “Randall’s Adventure” Ontario knife about that size that is a good wood processor for camp fires.
Most of those knives listed are no longer available from the sites posted......
Yesterday, I found a Swiss Army knife that a homeless person had dropped. Not much for choppin’.
New York City without long haul truckers deliveries means locals will have to catch raccoons and squirrels and use a proper knife to clean the meat
I always had a military knife with me. Once it was suggested an axe was just as good or better. The blade is kept sharp and you can also chop with it.
“What to look for in a survival knife
”The biggest factors I look for in a survival knife are durability and functionality.
You simply cannot have a working survival knife that doesn’t meet those two factors.
For durability, look at the steel HRC rating for starters, as we just discussed.[ in the article]
Also look for a full tang, meaning the steel from the blade material runs through the entire handle.
This is why I’m not a huge fan of the old-style “Rambo” type knives with a hollow handle.
I had one that should have been good quality, and the blade broke off. That doesn’t help much at all. “
”You also need to look at functionality. Ask yourself what features are going to be important to you in the field.
This goes hand-in-hand with knowing what else you will have with you.
This also means you need to look at how much space you have.
My standard hiking/adventuring kit always includes matches, a compact flashlight, space-saving blanket, rope, water purifier and a small tarp.
I make sure I have a knife that compliments these items.”
Check out the article which lists and analysis by name, five specific types of camping , bushcraft, and survival knives.
(My Opinion) : I have a neighbor who constantly carries his "Go Bag", everyday, to and from his vehicle, even though he commutes only 20 miles each day.
His "go bag" has nutrition bars, water/thermos, space blanket, flashlight, matches, cord, and a knife that is clipped onto his seat belt.
His rational for the clip knife is that he may need a quick release from his seat belt, especially if the belt doesn't release while under tension.
It gives him a sense of security as he has his tools immediately available to him, should the need arise.
Different tools for different circumstances - he is prepared for the unexpected for himself, or others.
My K-Bar has never let me down.
Just a smaller copy of a Guerka, or the Serengeti ranger knife, which can take a hand off no problem
