Just like the question says.... I have been slowly but surely growing my infi collection. I have a SH-e, FSH, Satin Jack-Tac, BM-e, and from the swampy area a ratweiler and a Battle Rat.

For the EOTWAWKI, I have no doubt that the FSH is the perfect knife. Lighter and more manageable than my BM, but my BM is by far the better chopper and renderer of overall destruction.

As far as bushcraft/survival knives, I am talking about a knife that can do everything pretty well: food prep, chopping, fighting, camp chores, fuzz sticks, etc. I have taken all of my knives out hiking for weekenders. The FSH and BM (and battle rat, for that matter) are too large for me to do the more mundane tasks efficiently. However, the Satin Jack-TAC for me is a pretty darn good compromise of strength and finesse. It may be my ideal outdoor/survival knife. What say the Hogs?
 
to be quite honest, i actually have had to 'create' tasks for my larger blades, which i am more than happy to do. i find the most useful to be the 3-5 inch blades. my mrs seems to accomplish most of what i need.
 
Your SH-E should be able to cover most of your bushcraft needs..

As for me, I am barely able to get by with my AK, with a SJTAC for the small stuff. I sure hope the balloon doesn't go up before my FBM gets here.. :(
 
A big knife can do a small job but a small knife can't do a big job. I'll take my SHBM hands down as I did when I was in the military.
Second choice is my wife's:rolleyes: Nuke Heart Variant.

True enough. However, I have yet to find anything that my BM can do that my SJT can't. Granted, my BM chops way better, but my SJT does better with food prep, splitting small logs, carving notches, making fuzz sticks, quicker deployment, etc. As stated earlier, my BM destroys everything in its path, but the SJT just does some camp stuff better.
 
Yes, that is a good combo. But that also means that your BA-E, NO-E, and SH-E are lingering unused in your safe. Send them to me and I'll put them to good use! :thumbup:

Actually, usually when I go out I take the BM-E, BA-E, AS, and SK. The NO-E and SH-E do see their fair share of air chopping though ;)
 
My HH and ST Ripper serve me well in the out of doors. The ST Ripper is fantastic for fire, cook and game duties. I'm still thinking about the Busse/Nessmuk Trio though.

Air Chops Rule!!!!!!

I am thinking that my NO-E could cover all my needs. At least here in the urban wastelands.

And yes, it does one hell of a mean "air chop". :)
 
The answer is ABA. There really is no competition except maybe the sister knives (anything of thin stock and straight rope micarta handles, such as the original SJ). Maybe the Paul's Hatchet...

Of course I was only kiddin' earlier, I must be suffering from some pre-FBM anxiety..

Troy is right! The AK really is the only way to fly... :thumbup:
