Best Survival Knife w/9" Blade

K Williams · Jul 5, 1999

In your opinion, what is the best survival/combat knife with a 9" to 10" blade?

Busse Battle Mistress or Hood, 15in Ang Khola from Himilayan Imports, or Nordooh from Rob Simonich.

thanks and take care

I've heard a lot about all of the Busse Combat knives- all good things of course.

Is there an echo in here?!! Battle Mistress or Nordooh. Can't go wrong with these.

Tempting to just say BM as well but your requirments would determine that ....so for a list .....

Busse Battle Mistress ...... tough as nails, best for my use.
Trace Rhinaldi Armagedon ....awaiting mine but heard only good things.
Newt Livesay RTAK ....best value for money bar none. Adheres to KISS principle.

The above would be my choice in 9 inch although I would opt for a Busse Steelheart in 7 inch above all.;-), second choice would be a Bob Dozier Ranger in 7 inch.

Go for the Battle Mistress, one of Chris Reeve's A-2 survival knives with a blade length that suits you, and maybe a Mission MPT.

The battle Mistress is incredible but check out TOPS Anaconda with a 9in. blade.
One HELL of a knife!

Try a Gurkha House Service #1 Khukuri. It's affordable, comes with an unconditional guarantee, and is one tough S.O.B.

I bought one just to play with, but it has now replaced my old bowie as the one i'll grab if TSHTF.
