3-4 inch Survival Knife

[PayetteRucker]

K, I'm looking for a fixie 3-4 inch survival knife that can complement my thunder blades for things like carving, skinning, etc the stuff a .25 inch thick blade won't be able to do well, but if pressed can handle heavy work. I was looking at the Rc4, the Fallkniven F1 and Ranger Afghan, anyone have any ideas in that pricerange or any thoughts comparing these three knives?

These are a Benchmade secret. US made 440c at an outstanding price.

Wow, that's a decent looking blade. Not too hot on the NRA stuff all over it (been a member since I was 18 when I purchased my first rifle, a K-31, but I've never liked being a walking billboard) but for the money... definitely an option.

I would consider a Bark River gunny.

 

[Alberta Ed]

F1 would be my choice.

Should be plenty of options there, if you were wanting something a bit more traditional.

I'm sure you've considered but there's also the RC-3.

Then try the Benchmade Rant--the Rant is a good knife at a good price. Or the Fallkniven F1 if you want to spend more.

i highly reccomend the RAt RC-3 tough but thin enough to be a great slicer. also it has RAT's awesome unconditional warranty.

I'm quite partial to the KSF leather sheath as well: http://www.knivesshipfree.com/RAT-C...-Handle-Black-Blade-Plain-Edge-Leather-Sheath

F1...

 

[Torm]

F1 would be my choice.

I'll second that. Great knife and reliable company.

RAT RC-4 might fill your needs, outstanding warranty

Well, the usual suspects are:
Fallkniven F1
RAT RC-3
Bark River (they have som many).

RC3 or 4. Search ended.

i like that rat izula, if you can cut a fricken 4X4 in half with that small knife in 5 minuets and still shave the hair off your arm after; you can use it to survive in the wild!

check out youtube. it shows this amazing feat as a test. very awesomely fantastic.

Given the size, I was pretty incredulous when I read that, so I tracked it down, and Wow! Sorry that I doubted it!

I have a Gossman PSK. It is a great little blade that can do most anything that you need.

RAT Cutlery RC3 or RC4.
