So I finally decided to switch from keeping my normal day/overnight pack loaded up to a more permanent evacuation bag. The problem as it stands, is that I tend to want to use every knife I own, including the numerous fixed blades that I have acquired over the years. So herein lies the problem. I don't know which blade I want to pack away. Right now, I have the bag packed up with a Mora 510, a Glock Knife, a Byrd Wings, and a Swiss Army WorkChamp. It's the glock knife that bothers me in this scenario. It is up to the tasks of being "tough" but that edge, I just know it won't hold well if it needs to be used. I "think" I need to suck it up and duplicate a knife I already have and trust, such as a Onatrio Pilots knife or an additional Kabar style. Something I can toss in there, trust, and have enough familiarity with to know it will complete my needed tasks. Here are my choices, and wherein your advice.
Marine Combat - probably going to be a kraton from Ontario or Kabar, as those are less expensive.
Pilots survival - speaks for itself - I have seen factory seconds that were dirt cheap - how do those hold up.
Buck 119 - I actually don't have one currently, but it was the fixed blade I learned on.
BM Rant DPT - probably at the upper level of what I want to spend, and maybe too much for a duplicate? Not sure.
This may seem crazy, I don't know - feel free to tell me I am thinking about it too much.
