Survival Knife

I was always a folder guy until about a year ago when I discovered all the smaller fixed blades. An old timer told me that "a folder is a broken fixed blade".
Made sense when I thought about it. I still have a ton of folders though especially Spyderco's.

Check out this sheath Stag. I hope they make a smaller version.

Yeah been looking at that one for awhile-they actually used to make those sheaths for ESEE until they went their own ways. Esee has some new products that are coming out in the next few weeks. One of them being a knife pack-

I saw your Xmas list about a Gerber LMF II-I have one-good robust knife but edge retention and sharpening is an issue I have with it.

The J. Holmes for the really well hung knife. Specs as above on the Footlong just another inch of length without the pills or the exercises.

Looks like Gerber & Bear Grylls have teamed up for a new knif- looks very interesting -

Reviving an old portion of this thread. Dicks is now stocking the Bear Grylls knife. Actually looks quite nice in person. If my Seal Pup didn't already fill that niche, i'd be picking it up, but like someone else already said, you can never have too many knives or guns.

There have been some less than good reviews on blade forums on the above knife. Especially on the handle breaking apart.

Hmmmmm, guess it may just be another gimmick product, and not actually stand up to what it's marketing ploy would suggest. My Sog will stand up to anything I could throw at it, guess i'll stick with that.

Did you see the knife in person?

I thought they were not out yet -

I have a leather handled ka-bar that seems indestructible... for the better part of 18 years :P

Lately though I've been taking a Cold Steel Busman Bowie when I go camping... for about 25 bucks it was well worth it, stays decently sharp and since it was so cheap I don't feel bad about throwing/digging/chopping/splitting/hammering with it... Also would make a decent spear if the need came up.

I took a fairly good sized aspen tree down - well, chopped it up - when a wind storm knocked it down in my back yard with one of cold steels cheep-o kukries... Worst part about that blade is that the grip is murder on your hands, did a fun paracord katana wrap on it and it's pretty nice now... It also came with a terribly off-center sharpening job but was able to fix that with a file while bored in a couple of hours.
