"Survival knife" to me says medium to large blade.

This is one of my favorites. Small enough to have with you, but big enough to be usefull.
I couldn't agree more. Is the background included in the sale of one of these?
That would make a perfect survival kit.:thumbup:

Yes, and the price is only $700! Actually that rifle is gone, part of getting rid of ones I don`t shoot anymore.
Sorry for the primitive drawing, there is only so much I can do with MS Paint. The idea here is a welded pommel that can be used as a hammer or crusher, splitting wood can be a lot easier with a few wedges made out of wood, you can make a decent plank that way. The center of the blade point is the axis of the handle so spinning the blade like a drill would be centered in your hand.

The top one kinda reminds me of this knife that I drew a short time back.....along these lines?
Great looking knife! Could you give us some details? I love the belly on it.
+1. :thumbup: that looks like a hella cool knife.....
Today's mail brought my RC5... very impressive! Here it is with previous iterations of the same theme... 'Bushcraft-heavy' - survival!
I think it fills the bill nicely. The LMFII fails due to the serrations - I just don't like them. The KaBar, actually my Dad's old WWII knife and not the new one shown, was my camping/bushcrafting/survival knife for years... it is still a useful design. The Buck is just neat - and inexpensive. I have plenty of good examples for hiking/'bushcraft-lite' and real 'bushcraft'; Bark Rivers, Bucks, Marbles, etc. Now I have a decent real 'survival' knife.
I like the 4.5-5" size - basic large drop point and a .25" or larger thickness CS blade. I would leave the thumb notches clean - for firesteel use, much more important than a fire bow bearing point. Canvas Micarta, shaped like, gads, can I speak the name... a Busse 'Magnum' grip, would be ideal. Perhaps I'll get out some rasps and have at my new RC5. I like Sharpshooter leather sheaths - I'd try to use one he makes, too. The RC-5 is pretty close to what I want. I am quite happy with it - after a whole three hours - it really is what I'd design - maybe clean those notches... maybe leave it as-is!

I had thought about that one too. That's a big blade to have the divot in the center of the handle.
It is a Dave Beck blade (as were the others) with osage orange handle by Scott Gossman.....
next to a BRKT Bravo 1
This is one of my favorites. Small enough to have with you, but big enough to be usefull.
What is the blade length on this knife?
