There have been so many topics about Survival knives debating what size they should be, what steel,what brand etc,etc !
No ones opinions are right or wrong as we all live in different area's and all have different expectations of what our knives should do.
However please correct me if I'm wrong but I'd guess that the one thing we all want is our knives not to fail on us !!!
This means our knives must be reliable so we can put 100% trust in them.
These are some knives that I trust not to fail....

Some great knives here bro ( I'm truly jealous ) but I notice a Mora in the mix and as good as Mora's are, would you trust one as your only tool in a survival situation ?
 
The 2 bottom ones in this pic I just found, Rat5 and custom RD9.

also my bushman, can't forget that.
I agree with the tougness issue, but a way around that is bring lots with you, in case one breaks!:D
I would trust my mora until it broke and then move on to my next favourite.

I would use a Fallkniven F1 and a Fallkniven U2 or WM1 as backup.
Any knife from Fallkniven will do.
The same goes with Bark River.
 
a trio of Rangers, haven't failed me yet:) custom Shiv, custom Afghan, stock RD6
 
No knife has ever failed me except when I was being a total idiot. I have since out grown that. I am headed out today and I will be carring a Mora and a SAK.
 
Mission's MPT-Titanium. That's the one. A strong, sharp knife that will not rust.
Lycosa
 
Some very good points have been made in this thread IMHO.

I agree with this completely. But I also VERY MUCH agree with this statement:

This means our knives must be reliable so we can put 100% trust in them.

Great thread Pitdog, you've really hit the nail in the center of this issue very cleanly here.
