So, you are stuck on a deserted island...

[jabroneeman]

What two knives, fixed blade and folding knife would you want to have?

 

[NateReed]

I'd want something stainless since I don't know about availability of oil to keep a carbon blade rust-free. I think I'll go Spyderco's VG-10 fixed blade. I forgot the name. I think I'll also go with the Calypso from Spyderco

 

[Maddogg774]

Busse heavy heart and Demko Ad-10.

 

[jabroneeman]

Lol well how about we will allow oil and even a sharpener so that should help

 

[jabroneeman]

Just googled that demko and that thing is a BEAST. Looks like a great choice

 

[Angus McGunnigl]

Machete and Leatherman Wave

 

[Bigfattyt]

Busse heavy heart and Demko Ad-10.

Probably change the Heavy Heart to a NMFBM in a thin configuration, like .25 or so.

Demko in a thinner stainless stock.

Those two should keep me in the gravy.

Esee 5, Leatherman Charge

 

[NateReed]

With oil I'd probably go with a Cold Steel Recon Scout and a CS Spartan

 

[Jastab]

A busse ffbm, and benchmade adamas. Two rugged ass knives

 

[sintro]

What climate is the island?

 

[Luis G.]

Leatherman Charge TTi, and Junglas sounds like a good pair.

 

[recon1s14]

Spyderco Manix 2, and my custom Recon Tanto

But can't I bring a pretty knife with me too? Gonna need an Opinel to slice up all those fruit and leaf salads :thumbup:

 

[Bill1170]

What climate is the island?

Arctic Circle, obviously. Puukko with stacked birchbark handle and H-1 Catcherman would be a good combo.

 

[jabroneeman]

Well the point of my asking was because I wanted to know what knives you guys would choose if your life depended on it. And which knives you would trust to not fail after MUCH abuse. So you can pick the climate conditions of the isle and say which knives you would choose. But the first island that pops in my mind would be tropical I suppose, so salt water would be an issue

 

[kdstrick]

Well... Assuming the island is surrounded by salt water, corrosive steel is out of the question.


I've taken my infi steel knives kayaking into saltwater many times without issue. I know scuba guys that carry infi as well, no problem.

INFI is my choice... Basic 11. It chops... It slices... it dices....


With the right knife who needs a folder?
