If you could only have one one knife(preferably a folder), and you were stuck some place and need that knife to survive. It was a nessecity.

What knife would you pick?


factory knife under $200
 
If it's a folder, I want a biggun. I'm liking the Camillus line of large cudas...Probably one of those.
 
If it's got to a folder, make it a old Al Mar folding Sere. Big enough for all tasks and in a pinch can be used as a boat anchor! :D No seriously That is one solid knife. Now if we are looking at a fixed blade, Chris Reeves Project I or II! :)
 
It would be the same Benchmade 805s TSEK that I always have with me anyway.
 
wow thanks for intrducing me to the AM-S2K Al Mar SERE 2000.

they are relaly nice.

Great knife, but it sits in my drawer and I EDC a BM710HSSR or a BM Doug Ritter Grip. If I had to pick one, I'd go with the BM710 just because I feel it's built more solid.
 
I'd rather have a decent fixed blade in such a situation, but if I had to pick a production folder, it would be a Buck Alpha Crosslock PBS. It has a nice 3" modified spearpoint, as well as a combination saw / guthook. A nice all-around knife.

Cheers,

Mike
 
Probably my SnG. Can't think of much it couldn't handle. (If we're only talking about folders that is.)
 
Folder? A SAK, something simple like a Trekker with a wood saw. Basically every function you could need a small folder.

Fixed blade? Something heavy duty but utilitarian like a Becker BK7 or HI 15" Khukri.

Ideally, I would have both, but if just one, I would probably take the SAK and make everything I needed from there.

I dont know if I would take a sak.

Cheaper metal. will prob rust easier. My life on a small blade like that.

id either have a Benchmade 710HS or a Spyderco Military

Not nearly as fast as the M2 in the 710HS would.

I highly doubt that, unless you're stranded on an island with a lot of salt water around. I've never had an SAK rust, or break a tip. Victorinox uses very good steel with a great heat treat.

Stainless steel is not cheap steel. As much as I love 1095, if I'm stranded on an island (which will likely never happen), I'd rather have one of my Buck 110s with 440.
 
Tough question.
I don't know if the blade-steel needs to be a ultra premium steel since you would need to sharpen it with whatever rocks or stones you could find...so I would probably choose a Buck 110 or a Buck 112.
These knives are incredibly stout, reliable, and very practical.

But on the other hand, a large Swiss Army knife has so many other useful blades that would be very handy...and it really does'nt make alot of sense to trust your life with a single blade...so I would probably choose the largest lock-blade Victorinox SAK with the most tools.

Good luck,
Allen.
