sooner or later i will put a knife into my (yet being planned) survival kit. so now the question is what knife ? i want it to be a folder, and most likely either a benchmade or a spyderco (although other suggestions are welcome). not a sebenza, i dont want to spend that much on a knife that will probably get ****ed up anyway. also it has to be very lightweight, and at best a long blade, something around 4". also, corrosion resistance is important, as it might probably stay unused and with no treatment such as cleaning in the kit, possibly even under wet conditions sometimes.
basically, it boils down to either the benchmade ascent II or a spyderco endura frn. another thing is, what do you think of partial serrations ? see, the knife will possibly cut everything from wood to cans, hence i think they might come in useful. i know most of you guys dislike combo edges, so do i, but for this specific intended use they might be useful, dont you think ?
with combo edge, the ascent would also get a coating, which is good for resistance - as a survival knife i dont care for the looks much. then the steel would be another issue - vg10 vs. 154cm.
so, any suggestions for this one ?
