To go along with any BAK , machete , hawk etc , I like to have a small knife for those little fussy chores that require more precision .

Pendleton Mini Hunter would be fine , IMO . Mine is Japan VG-1 ,but available in 3V also .

If I was in a survival scenario I would want my Busse Banned Skinny Ash. However if I am being truthful the closest I ever get to that scenario is checking into a hotel without room service.........

I add myself to the lil’ knaf gang.
I would say that I’d prefer small knife over big one if I had to choose one. For longievity (staying longer time) I would like to have axe and or saw.
Small knife is also easier to carry, conceal or tuck away.
That’s just my vision anyway.

These two are two of my all time favorites and are my personal idea of excellent "survival" knives.

If I had only one knife and few/no other tools, I'd want a knife like this, 7 1/2" blade:


If I had other tools available, this would be hard to beat for my primary knife, 5" blade:

 

[Bob Denman]

Which ones would I grab when the crap hits the fan???
1. Buck BuckMaster
2. Busse HellRazor2
3.David Mary Godzilla Smatchet

 

[Ironbut]

I bought these two Busse's five years ago and so far they've never been used. Never.


I got this one in 1967 or 68. It's seen some use.

I'm just going to assume all these knives people are posting pictures of but no other details are Pakistani gas station knives.

Excellent. No name: Shame.

hotel without

Stayed in a primitive one in Nashville ,totally "self serve" . No lobby at all . Had to Email if you had a problem .

That was weird but my main problem was no furniture in the room except the bed and wall mounted TV .

I gotta have a decent chair (and hopefully a desk) or I feel like I'm on a survival challenge / camping .

Sorry for off topic ! I was equipped with survival folders in pocket and a ton of gear/supplies in the SUV . We survived !

P.S. But wait , there's worse : https://www.booking.com/articles/the-world-s-top-10-capsule-hotels.html

If I’m grabbing one to count on, my Junglas would be a good choice because the Vic Hercules is included in a “package deal”. That’s not cheating because two is one. lol




If the addition of the Hercules disqualifies my Junglas, I’d pick the Frontiersman because it’s easy to keep sharp, fits my hand well, is a big knife but is capable of doing smaller knife chores. I love using it in the kitchen and is my go-to camp knife.

I love the look of the Frontiersman. If they put micarta handles on it I’d get one for sure…

I am thinking they are, just polished.

It is a beauty for sure!

Ha - so they are!

Well then - anybody ever tried “unpolishing” the handle of a Buck Frontiersman??

If you were to, you could shape it to fit your hand as well. The big, squared grip seems to be what most don’t like about the 124. I have big hands so it works well for me as is.

 

[Bobthebrewer]

Ok, I know only 1 blade was asked for but I am a knife enthusiast so I cannot help myself, 2 pieces of 3V goodness. I would not feel naked with this combination.

 

[bikerector]

My RW. Old one was thin cut SR101 but now I'm rolling with an infiweiler. The SR101 got a lot of use before the opportunity for an infiweiler presented itself.

By this time I had the infiweiler. Only one of the group I still have after selling off many blades over the past few years.

Another old image, cleaning up some mtb trails near home.

I have a lot of knives that fit the bill, and I'd be comfortable with any of them...but since there's two in this image...I'll just go with either...especially since they're essentially bulletproof.
