Best single edged tool for survival.

This is not an ATAX answer, but I got a few really good shots of stuff I'm taking to the show this weekend and figured I'd toss the trail knife idea into the mix.

There's a few bushbeaters floating around here, the trail knife is generally shorter, with a straight spined profile instead of a spearpoint. It's still a thick bladed beefy chopping knife, though I try and get the grind thin enough to really work the slicing- And it's also designed to handle the other, "unmentionable" knife task.

anyway, here's a trail knife with a blade length up around 8 inches. fore and aft lanyard holes, the integrated guard with the handle works out, and the handle is long. this helps with balance, allows for choking back on the chopping swings. Just don't (thegame) repeatedly (thegame) try to chop trees down with the handles.

for consideration:

this version is a bit lighter, and - well, militarized-

Hey hey hey.. that was a total accident. I was standing at an odd angle, and I accidentally hit the handle when I was chopping. You go stand on a steep angle in the freezing cold and try not to make a mistake or 4. ::rolleyes:



And as far as best single edged tool, I personally could do anything I would need to with any knife that could chop. Preferrably -

koyote what's that model called. i got your miniature scandi grind and i absolutely love it. with the bigger version you have that could be a great set up for all around work.
 
The shiny one is a trail knife, the black one is a field dirk. It's a roundabout result of me hiking the Superstition Mountains as a teenager.

The one TheGame posted is a bushbeater. bit longer, spearpoint profile.
