Ok fellas and felladies,
I like survival knives. Always have. I understand the term can be loaded and difficult to define but that’s ok.
If you have a favorite survival knife - specifically a FIXED BLADE that you would choose over other knives in your collection to carry into harms way (e.g. a potential survival situation):
A) it’s ok - you are ok - you are entitled to your interests and your beliefs and I support you
and,
B) please post a PICTURE! Or better yet PICTURES and/or videos!
You are encouraged to include the name/manufacturer/maker of the knife, what makes it your favorite, and if you like, where/how you might anticipate using it - whether or not it’s a survival situation.
I’ll go first. Mine is one that you might recognize, as I’ve posted many pictures of it around this forum. It’s made by Bill Siegle and he calls it a “Chopper/Fighter”.
It’s 18oz. (so heavy, but reasonably packable I think) 1/4” 5160 ground to a fairly thin edge. It’s got excellent handle ergonomics and I love the overall shape of the knife. I carry this knife for enjoyment during trail clearing and on search and rescue operations where I’m hiking alone at night in the forest without much other gear. Also my pick for a knife in the unlikely event I was going to be in combat and knew I would be moving through/living in jungle/heavy forest:
Let’s see your FIRST CHOICE survival knife. Try to keep it to just one knife, that’s currently in your collection, but feel free to show/describe other knives/tools you might want to bring along.
Thanks in advance for playing!

. Couldn’t leave the knife alone. I probably need therapy
