So I'm sitting here watching that Tom Hanks movie Castaway and I started wondering. If I was in that position, stranded and stuck there for the long haul, which Busse/Kin would be my top choice? Started thinking ASH2 because it's choppy while still being knifey........But then I figured the closest thing to food prep would be cutting open the bellies of fish, so maybe maybe give up some knifeyness for more choppyness..........yep........

I choose the Huck.

Let's hear yours. No "either this one or that one". No little blade and a big blade combos. You are stuck on an island with one blade. One. Single. Blade.

GO!!!

3/16th thick makes it slicey, but still a decent enough chopper.

You only have to chop so much wood (you only need to build one shelter) but food is a daily chore, so compromising on choppiness for slicyness is worthwhile.

INFI because you're surrounded by salt water and SR-101 wouldn't fare so well.

Also if I'm going to go mad and start talking to my knife I'd rather talk to a 'mistress' than 'Huck'.
 
Doesnt he have to pop out a tooth with a blade halfway in? I'll give you $100 to try that with a battlesaw or a mistress
 
BB13.

Choppy, but with a lanyard through the lanyard hole and around my forearm/elbow, I can hold the spine for smaller knife game cleaning and other detail work.

I would sooner fire harden a piece of wood, and use that than any Busse. The edges get too keen too easily, and the want for blood isn't getting anywhere near my neck...
 
Oh ASH2 all the way bro!

I’d carve me a couple of paddles and a canoe with this baby! Chop down some palm threes, slice some fish, carve spears, build a palm tree log cabin or treehouse lol, you get the picture! :)

I would have to also say Ax Hammer or it's cousin Satin Jack Tac. My first choice would have to be a 10" JackHammer but we don't have one yet.These would be the perfect size in case some bacon washed up.
 
I'd have to go with a TG for one simple reason, the dbl guard because you could lash it to a stick and it's a spear with weight enough to chop poles for a shelter, versatile enough to carve and heavy enough to use as a hammer and strong enough to be an entrenching tool and a climbing spike to get up to the tallest branch to hang oneself :D
