Best Busse Survival blade(s)?

Tim, what some don't realize is that a survival blade is a tool first and a weapon of last resort only. The more dagger like you make a blade, the less cutting surface it has. A large drop point has lots of useable surface area for cutting and chopping. This is no different than discussing which hand gun works best. It is a personal thing. what works best for one, will not work for others. There are numerous tasks a knife will have to do, last of which is stabbing iinto things. However, to assume that a certain knife can't stab based on looks, would be wrong. I have stabbed a SHBM deeper into a log than a CS Trailmaster which has a pointier tip. But really in any real situation stabbing isn't an issue. That is why good made straight sticks in the forest:)

Here is a very popular WWII survival knife. It worked in the south pacific:

I would have to vote on the Skinny ASH as well. Not too long or heavy to carry all the time and short enough to do fine cutting. Heavy and long enough to do some light chopping. Nice combo of tasks with the 6.5" blade.

I would of voted on the fat .32" thick ASH but it's a tad heavy for me to carry all the time. (unless it's modified to be lighter)

I Light Brigade or skeletonized tang on a ASH-1 .22" thick would be just gold! Lets hope it's on the future manufacturing list to make.
