Randall or Maddog?

[Chicahiro Ishida]

If you are left alone in some wilderness (do not know cold or hot), which do you choose Randall M12 sportsmans bowie 10" + M11-4" or Maddog T.U.S.K.+ Pack rat ?
Is there better a pair of 4" and 10", for example Cold Steel masterhunter + trailmaster?

Or same question :Randall M1-7" or Maddog A.T.A.K?
Or, is it something like so that 'Randall is no good in such cold seaside, but better in desert'?

These knives are on opposite ends of the looks spectrum. Both have their die-hard supporters. There have been numerous discussions about the Mad Dog claims and knife performance - do a search and draw your own conclusions. My personal opinion having owned both (five MD's and 13 Randalls) is to buy the Randalls. The Randall's have stood the test of time and are proven designs. The Mad Dogs are good knives but the spartan tactical look just left me cold after a while. Buy what style you like - I'm not sure the choice will turn on "performance."
