Yessir - thanks again! I use it at least every other weekend.Oh, the memories.
Happy to see it being enjoyed.
Sweet! How do you like your Winkler? Tough edge? I’m close to buying a highland hunter…This would do.
No not at all - just your favorite survival knife, not necessarily your most capable. Feel free to include companion knives, etc. I have many smaller survival knives that I love, the Siegle just takes the
.Another old Winkler? You like it??
Saw this in another thread - very cool.
You would be wrong my friend.
That siegle is super cool!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 youand,
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.

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!
Do it! Super nice knives. Do it do it do it.
Do you live in one of those places where giant snakes appear in the plumbing fixtures ?

Thanks! And yes it does - it also has a lot in common with another one of my favorites and a brother to the Eraticator, the Swamp Rat SawManDu.
Here’s mine:
Interesting article and cool story - especially that he was involved in cutting competitions. You can also see how his original design style has remained similar throughout the years…
Ooh - the ASH - beautiful example.
