Of course. Not using them would be like building rifles and not shooting them, where's the fun in that?Quote:

Massive, inexpensive and high quality steel. I have a Becker Brute too, and have used both in the backcountry. The brute has a wider back near the rear edge to use for batoning the blade. I'm starting to appreciate the kukri design more and more though. the sheath leaves something to be desired, so I wrapped it in paracord for durability. Hell, I wrap EVERYTHING in paracord.
I just bought a Stryker and it's 5/16 inch steel, just massive.

I steer towards heavier knives mostly because I've broken the thinner ones while misusing them. I just dont want some casual misuse to damage my only tool. The Becker Companion I bought for 47 bucks from tomarskabars.com it's a bit more expensive now, but it's a no-frills kinda knife. No fancy finish, no fancy scales (although you can buy some) and a kydex sheath. I'm just a heavy knife guy nowadays. ESEE and the like are good knives, but they are pricey for my tastes.
Just curious to know what everybody thinks is the best survival knife? I use a Gurka Knife, KaBar and a SOG Seal Pup. They have all served well over the years.
What do you use? Pic's would be nice.
I love my Seal pup, fantastic knife.
That's the one I take hiking/hunting/fishing. If I found myself in a survival situation it would be my go-to blade.
Well I'm sure Staglefty will be here shortly to show me up (lol), but I will post mine anyway.

Both knives in the pic are fairly new to me, the smaller one (IZULA) is my daily carry, and the larger one (ESEE4), is my camping/backpacking/survival knife. I have yet to use either of them very hard, but the quality alone leaves me confident, that once I need them, they will be phenomenal. I've also used the Seal Pup Elite in the past, and it's also a great knife.

I have a seal pup. I love it. I had an awesome leather sheath made by the guy Rocky Mountain Tanners (Formerly Jerry's Leather). Excellent job. I will post pics later.
I think knives are just like our guns,we'll all have personal favorites. I have Kbar's,Spyderco's,Gerber's, etc. All good knives. I've recently became a huge ESEE fan. Made in the USA,no BS warranty,fair prices,great edge, and easy to sharpen.
Here you go Hurley-try not to drool in your coffee [Beer]

For around the same price the Seal Pup elite retails for, you can get a 100% USA made ESEE, that IS IMO better than the Sog.Quote:

Was it a Gerber LMF II or the older style?
I've heard from more than one person that the LMF II has trouble holding an edge. Just what I've heard though (from multiple people).
The Companion and the Brute. I believe in tool steel!!!
I did too, till I found out how hard to sharpen my D2 Kabar is.Quote:

That video is what sold me on them.
FYI the destruction tests, the guy basically cuts shit from softest to toughest and sees how it does (starts with a piece of fruit, ends with steel plate or concrete), tests how well they chop, pry, chisel, etc. till he breaks it.
It's a beast of a knife and hard to sharpen and keep an edge. I bought one before I started with ESEE's. JMHO [Beer]Quote:

I can't speak on Seal Pups but if I remember correctly some Spyderco blades used to be stamped Seki City and seemed to be a good blade. [Beer]Quote:

Mine is an early one from Seki.... never really realized it was special till now.Quote:

I also found Scrapyard Knives on the internet, looks like some cool, high quality stuff fairly priced.
Fairly priced -IF- the prices on their site are current. I checked ebay and there are 2 "SOD" knives posted for sale at twice the price shown at the Scrapyard site.
Ouch. Customer service at Scrapyard leaves something to be desired. Their website shows quite a few knives for sale, types, prices, etc. Remember these are not $400 and up customs, these are basically $100 and some change knives. When I inquired via email as to the availability of a knife shown and to verify price- I was told the following virtually word for word- we put a few knives up on the order page for 4-8 weeks, when they're gone we take them down and they may never be available again. We only have blah and blah avail at this time. Thank you.
Have a nice day Scrapyard and goodbye. (from me)

That's your opinion. I'm pretty sure most of the folks posting on this subject know what whatever knife they're talking about looks like.
Alright, I didn't necessarily mean this thread was "useless".... just thought it would be nice to see some pictures. Just like the original poster requested.Quote:
