Welcome to Bladeforums.

Stainless or not?
Handle material?
Price point?
Custom or production?
Hollow, flat, saber, convex, chisel grind?

The first knife to come to mind is a Bark River Woodland Special but it is only 4mm thick.
 
Just as I said in your other thread....if you define "survival" we can help you. :thumbup: It's purely a marketing term. Meaningless.
 
Still pretty new to the knife business. I am only 13 but probably have a higher knowledge of knives than some might think. But on survival, not the crappy Rambo knives. Something like a Blackbird survival knife or a SOG Jungle Canopy.

Hehe it's funny I went to a gun and knife show about a month ago.....so this guys trying to sell me this random mall ninja knife and I say I'm not really into that kinda thing, and after a little look of shock he asks me what I carry? And with out a word I wave my ZT 0200 out of my pocket.........the look on that guys face was simple priceless.

Any way, just thought I'd share...hehe
 
Get an ESEE3. It'll change you life and ruin you for just about any other knife in its price range. It is thinner than you stated, but it has taken a lot of hard work from me and still looks quite nice with no chips, cracks or bends. If there is a problem, they will replace it, even if you both know you did something so stupid that they shouldn't.
 
We scare easily on here, kinda like Harry potter....hehe the knife reviewer that must not be named!!....dude your mileage may vary.

Don't get ahead of yourself. :D You haven't explained what you mean by "survival." What do you expect to happen during "survival"? It's a marketing term and meaningless. Do you mean "outdoor recreation"? That, it seems, is what the vast majority of people mean when they say "survival." Not sure how "camping" became "survival."

If you are lumping the Ontario Blackbird and the SOG Jungle Canopy together, you might need to spend some time hanging out here and learning, because they are wildly different knives.

Forget the SOG Jungle Canopy. It is nonsense. The blade is thin, like a machete, but too short to function like a machete. It's hollow ground like a skiiner, but too big to be a skinner. Its "digi grip" handle is gonna rip your hands apart if you chop with it. It's not going to do anything well. You might as well get the Rambo knife.

The Blackbird....that's another story. THAT is a nice looking outdoors knife. Full flat ground slicer that will do the stuff that people do when they are enjoying the great outdoors.
