Lets see them knives!

The axe is a GB mini and the Jegermester I bought new from Ragnar.
And yes it is quite the slicer.

Very nice set up!

(I had a Jegermester I'd sold to someone 'round here at one point in time before I ever got around to using it- definitely one of the Helle knives I shoulda kept and used)
 
Here's a few....

The lumpy thing in the 2nd pic is the sheath for the Buck 185, the webbing all gone from salt water. (I bought it from someone in Hawaii for $32)

If you are talking about the green one it is the Trekker model, they also have one called the one-handed Trekker.

Sorry, but that's not a Trekker. It's not even a Victorinox. It's a Wenger Mountaineer, I believe.

Wenger doesn't get the luv that Victorinox does, but their big outdoors knives like the Mountaineer are bigger, and arguably beefier, than anything Vic sells. I've got one of those, and it's a pretty nice outdoors tool.

The One-Hand Trekker is pretty sweet though. The one-hand opening feature comes in real handy when the other mitt is busy!
 
Here's my collection. I use them all.
4 Busse SFNO's (1 muddy variant, 1 custom SFNO)
And a Busse 5/16th INFI SHSH II with a modified swedge.

Okay, you asked for it. My survival knives would be a CS Master Hunter or a Frosts Clipper, or a Kabar, or AF survival knife. But here's one I made for myself this past summer:

351bosp.jpg


The blade started out as a 9x1 inch wood planer blade that I picked up at a yard sale for pocket change. I believe it is M2 steel. I couldn't touch it with my drills, had to take it to a machine shop to drill the tang holes, they spent 1/2 hour at it, $20. I didn't forge it, but shaped it, my grinding sucks. The blade is 4-3/4 in, handle 4-5/8.

The handles are what I believe to be axis stag, not Sambar stag, another yard sale find. I slabbed them off with a radial arm saw.

I'll be the first to say it, the sheath has all the charm and beauty of a corn cob. But it works. The outer cover is raw hide, the inner-liner is a piece of folded, wettened and molded chromed leather.

Rawhide is interesting stuff to work with. I got this stuff at a pet store, a big honkin chewy bone. Soaked it in hot water in the bath tub, then cut out this piece. When it's wet, it is like rubber, can be cut with scissors. After it dries a couple of days, it is as hard as Kydex. The belt fastener is a simple 3-inch tab on the back, it has all the snap and strength of plastic.

Will I carry this in the field? Absolutely. Would I consider this a survival knife? No. After about 5-10 minutes immersed in water, the sheath will become flabby. However, the knife will still be good ;)

I'd take the knife you made over any of the ones you mentioned, a much more practical design. I like it alot!
