If you had to go to war, what is the one fixed blade and 1 folder you would take??

I been to war (note the CIB in my sig line). I carried a MT D/A Socom clip point. No fixed blade. They just get in the way.

you picked the wrong fixed blade... that's why i picked the falkniven S1. big enough to do what you need, but small enough to not be in the way.
 
I'm more than making up for it now. I'm getting a ZT bayonet and I plan on carrying it.
 
My Emerson CQC8 and either my Swamp Rat Rodent 6 or Busse Team Gemini Light Brigade.
 
Of knives I actually own, my ESEE Izula, and my ZT 0301. The ZT 301 would stay out of the way as a backup in case I lost the ESEE, but still needed some toughness, the Izula would be my go to knife for 99% of tasks.

When I last went to the sandbox I had a CRKT M-16T and a Kershaw Chive, and picked up a BM Griptilian partway through in a trade with a buddy, but I would definately like a small fixed just to have something I could really beat up with the nasty stuff.
 
Busse Tank Buster - not ridiculously large, but plenty strong.
Some kind of multi-tool with stout pliars (otherwise I'd go with a Swiss Champ), Leatherman Surge? Super Tool 300? Dunno, don't have one... would have to research it a bit.
 
My Marine Corps issued bayonet, because I had to, it was free and replaceable so I didn't have to worry it, it's long enough to stab people, strong enough to pry, and because you can use it as a spear.

My folder would be the spyderco Military, because it is LIGHTWEIGHT and still wickedly long for stabbing if necessary. It's easy to say "I'll carry this 4 pound fixed machete" but I had enough junk to carry. Weight becomes top priority.
 
as someone in a military, id seriously ask what you are doing in the war? they say it takes 90% of the army to make the 10% of fighters able to do there job. that ebing said. are you recce? if so a large knife and a leatherman/multitool. are you armored? then a leatherman and no fixed blade. are you in the navy? a lot of good a fixed blade will do you on a ship that you cant get by with a multi tool. you goin out, you want to be light and efficient. i absolutely love knives but id sacrafice a large fixed blade for an extra mag
 
I am tempted to say Spyderco Military for the folder, but really I would take a Cold Steel XL Voyager Tanto, I know it is on the less $ side but it will take a heel of a beating.

As for the fixed blade. Extrema Ratio Suppressor or on a budget the Cold Steel OSS with a blackend blade.
 
Rough Rider Mini Trapper and a BG Survival Knife like on his show.!* What more could you really ask for when you have the weapons men cry for there whole life but really can't afford.!* {a little humor never hurt anybody.*}
 
Do own
Folder: M4 griptilian
Fixed: Don't own any fixed yet
Don't own
Folder: ZT 301

I think i feel as you do. I chose my Vic. because I see it as a tool. No way I'd even try to fight with a knife. That's what the rifles and shotguns are for.
