:edit: nevermind you got it. No idea, don't recall seeing it in any other episodes. Tough to tell, maybe one of the SOG bowies?

 

[newknife]

It almost looks like a SOG 2000...but it's a little different.

Web site http://www.survivaltopics.com/survival/survivormans-knife claims the the knife is a Buck 119 Special, although that doesn't look like a Buck in the picture above.

"After some research I was able to discover the survival knife Les Stroud uses on his popular Survivorman television series. Besides his multi-tool, which has at least one smaller folding blade, the survivor man knife is a fixed blade Buck 119 Special."

Not a 119 ,looks SOG ish to me also.

Looks like a Muela design to me. Reminds me of a Mirage with a longer blade, minus the fuller and coating.

Yeah i think you're right, definitely looks like a Muela.

Seems like the show with the guitar, he had a Buck, but I am with you, not a 119. He did have a cheapo survival kit in the Paupau show. Maybe this was a cheap knife? Although I don't think he would have chanced a really cheap knife.

I agree with mistwalker, looks like a Muela to me.

He has definitely used a 119 on the show before but he switches it up all of the time. I read somewhere that he would often just go into a sporting goods store and randomly pick up what was available in the camping/survival section. Dunno if it's true or not, but he used a number of different knives on the show.

I think this may be a Muela Mirage-18 knife. Here's a link to a picture from Knifecenter's website...sure looks like it might be this one: http://images.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/muela/images/FXKMMIRA18.jpg

Sure looks like it to me.

It's a Muela.. I had one when I was a kid.

 

[newknife]

thanks for all the help. what's up the steel it's made from? it's called "Moly-Vanadium stainless steel". How is that steel?

 

[Wanderlust]

FYI the knife set up he usually uses is a LM Wave, or some other kind of multi-tool and a Buck 119. But in some episodes he changes it up an carries something different.

 

[Fred A]

Believe it's a Muela Tiburon.

 

[PayetteRucker]

So how are these mysterious Muelas? They appear to have nice designs and their prices are all over the board. Factory fit and finish, steel/ht quality?

 

[Troop]

Looks like a Mirage-18 to me.

Usually it's AUS8 or very similar.

I used a Muela for many years in my late teens and early twenties and really beat the crud out of it and it did great.

It's a Mula.There was a thread a while ago talking about the knives he uses.I think there was a list made.
