If it was me, SJTAC is the winner.

thinner

INFI ( good for Alaska style climate)

In my opinion a better all around camp/defensive knife

I personally am not a fan of the regulator handle, (does not fit me right)
 
A cornerstone of Canadian laws on knife possession is that a knife not be a weapon, strictly a tool. If asked by customs what uses you have for a blade in your possession and you respond with anything like “self defense”, they will likely confiscate. I lived within sight of the border in Washington state for several years and frequently crossed into Canada to hike in wild places. From my experience I’d suggest leaving expensive knives at home and be ready to lose whatever you’re carrying when you go through customs. Also, if you decide to take a Busse, don’t take one with the Busse Combat logo.
 
Rolling with the sjtac and scrapivore le. Ill have a buncha pics to post once i get up there. Roughly 18 hour drive and im only 4 hours in lol caught some reception here while were filling up fuel thought id drop in. The res c reg handles are a lil chunky to wear with my tool belt sland harness. Thanks for the input guys !!
 
For a one knife selection I would have to give the Alpha the nod with respect to the choices you have offered. I always carry a smaller blade on me and advocate keeping the larger cutting tools close at hand. That being said, the Pork Shank is another knife that really screams utility. Again, it depends on what you'll be doing on your great white north assignment. The flat ground Ratmandu is also rarely a mistake as a really capable do-it-all edc for the bush. If I were headed out, I'd take my trusty Basic 9 and maybe the Dogfather as close second.

Come to think of it, a good 1311 thinned out a bit would be a heck of a chopper. These knives are probably one of the best survival blades that approximate a smaller machete but have the added heft and rigidity. Handles are also comfortable for extended use. So many great options.

Good luck on your trek.
 
I was just having a hard time choosing wich of those 3 to take lol. I brought the sjtac for adventures and exploring and keep my scrapivore LE on me for utility. Thanks for everyones input !! Its amazing up here i thought ive seen it all in this province but i was VERY wrong. The nisga'a nass valley lava fields blow my mind everytime i pass through too and from the village were in. The highways only 25 years old it was only accesable by boat up untill then. The volcanos still active but had its major eruption 250 years ago killing 2000 of nisga'a peoples.
