Fixed blade knife survey

[backpacker]

If you were in a remote wilderness area and could only bring one fixed bade knife with you, what would it be? ( assume you have a pocket knife like a Rucksack with you also)

Please be specific.

Depending on the specific area and/or mission, my Camillus PSK or my Busse Basic 3. The PSK for chopping, hacking, and general camp chores or the Busse for field dressing.

Without a doubt, my Busse Steel Heart- E. It's the perfect all around knife, and I know it won't fail me.

Long Term: Blackjack Marauder II, 15 inch. Nearest thing to my hardwood chopper.

This knife is out of production, but there is a British/Australian cunning plan to make something better; it will be a long while yet 2002).

Here's something a little different. I just bought two scandanavian style blades from Ragnar (www.ragweedforge.com) and I made the handles and sheaths for them.

One has a 4" laminated stainless steel blade which is a great little camp knife. The other has a 7.5" stainless blade which will tackle some larger jobs but is still light enough to carry on a hike. I got both blades for about $35 and they have a cool traditional look that you don't get with a Busse.

I'm sorry to say "it depends", but for me it depends on how much weight my poor back can take (less and less each year

). If I was homesteading I would just get an axe.
