everday like cutting rope or cardboard contruction stuff on the house survial would be i want to be able to have it hold up to chopping down tree branch make a chelter if necessary and to kill me some dinner if need be
 
Why use a folder to chop down a tree branch and how exactly would you kill an animal with it?

Anyway out of those I would choose the Kershaw. The company has the best reputation out of all of those and people seem to really love those knives.

edit: maybe I missed your sarcasm?

yeah there wasw a little sarcasm there, but none of the knives metioned are folders to let u know
 
Sounds like you should be getting more than one knife, ezz.

How about a nice Vic Farmer or Leatherman for around the house (both have saw blades for those trees)

And a nice chopper (Like a Busse, or Ranger) for chopping (or just an axe).

Throw in a nice midsized knife like a Bark River or Mora for food prep...and you're set.

As for killing food with a knife...good luck.

yeah i already have a benchmade griptillion and a zt 0200 but i was looking for a fixed blade, the only fixed blade i have rigth now is a ka-bar but im looking for something more erganomical
 
Do you want a knife for EDC or do you want a camp knife? I don't think you can have both in one package
 
OK ezz...now we are getting somewhere! You want a heavy-duty fixed blade and it appears that you are willing to pay around 200 dollars (the price of the Currahee) for it.

I would say this...forget about a knife with a top guard (like the standard KaBar)...it reduces its useability...you don't need it.

Also...for survival/field use a recurved blade isn't ideal in my book...harder to sharpen.

RAT and Fallkniven (as well as Busse and Ranger) might be what you are looking for.

thanks for the hint ill have to check those out, my friend has a rat 5 and its pretty nice but i dont want to get teh same as him we already have the same surfire but yeah ill look into those
 
ezz...I'm a little biased because I'm a big fan, but check out the Ranger RD series. High quality, indestructible, no questions asked guarantee, great prices, customizable, the maker Justin is a great guy, etc, etc, ....

Again though, RAT, Busse, Fallkniven, are excellent. Don't forget Bark River! Also very nice.
 
+1 on the Fallkniven.
F1 is a real EDC/survival/bushcraft/camp knife. Used by Sw AF.
S1 is about one inch longer blade otherwise the same as F1. Less EDC, more camp knife.
A1 is yet another inch longer. Barely an EDC, more camp knife and chopper.
WM1 is about one inch shorter than F1. A really nice EDC/survival/bushcraft/hunting knife
H1 is a really nice EDC/bushcraft/hunting knife. Works as a survival knife too.

All these knives (except WM1) has the tang going out the back for pounding etc.
Can be bought in different steel types and with different sheaths.

The absolute best and strongest 4" is the H1/3G followed by the F1/3G (just 110 made) and the F1 standard issue (lam VG10).
Most Fallknivens are also available as blade only for those who want to make their own handle.

They cost about 80-100 USD but performs like knives three times more expensive.

You can also look at Bark River. About the same thing as Fallkniven.
