Selecting best length for survival fixed blade.

Okay you want a scenario? Here you go:

Your plane crashes in the most remote part of the Everglades at 2am in the middle of summer. Alligators are closing in and the mosquitoes are on the attack. Cotton mouths, pythons, etc. You have no light save for the full moon.

What do you do? Why do you do??

Wish that I had a bigger knife

I already asked what fine task the thought needed to be done in survival that a larger knife could not do.

What kind of fine cutting tasks do see yourself performing where your 1/8" thick LT Wright GNS prevails in a survival scenario?

Also, a lean-to with some branches isn't going to cut it for an extended time... especially if we're talking about a colder climate.

Your original post.

I could chop a tree down with a GNS. It would take a while, but I could.

 

[Wolverine777]

But it would work for many others correct? Do you see how you just want to argue?

Exactly. This guy is cut from the same cloth as Lasador. And just as annoying

The swamp? I was born and raised in it baby! Broward county florida. Take my big knife and get the f out of the water lol

Let’s see you remove a splinter, or pull out threads, or put fine notches in branches.

He said FINE task. What fine task will your gns do that a larger knife WILL NOT do in a survival setting?

Nice list! When I go out: I take a Platinum MasterCard!
I guess we don't go to the same places...

The poll was simple. People showing up to argue with me made it what it is. Don’t compare me to Lasador when I’m still here after the first post.

At an 1/8" thick, "take a while" is an understatement.

Settle down and read the post above yours.

Ah, but it can be done. The GNS is an excellent survival knife.

Big knives with good geometry will notch damn good. Pull threads? Most certainly will. And if for some reason my survival depended on pulling some microscopic thread, I'd sharpen a small stick to a needle point and use it to get under the thread.

A disagreement does not make an argument.

Okay, good for you. You take the 14” knife, I’ll take my GNS. Case closed. Still want to argue?

 

[shinyedges]

The horse has been beaten again. Good god. Why does every thread of yours end in you arguing, and losing?

Don't you get tired of it? Stop taking up losing positions, guy. You think everyone here is just out to say the opposite of you? Maybe you ought to do some introspection and see if you are the one who needs to reconsider your position?

Post #96 accused me of arguing.

So now you’re flopping to the other side of things hahaha.

Look, let me level with you here… I know you’re arguing with me because of who I am, and the points to be had for the team by trying to make me look bad. I wasn’t born yesterday. Maybe consider that 24 out of 44 people picked a knife under 6”, and you’re fixated on me for preferring the GNS.
