If you were in a 72 hr+ off grid survival scenario what one knife would you trust to fill the role of a survival knife? To make kindling, to prepare food, make a spear, make a shelter or to battle a zombie (just kidding with that last part). I personally would trust the TOPS silent hero. Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Why is she so excited about knocking off somebody else's design? I won't bother going into how I feel about the original's value as an outdoor knife.

I have a few, that fit the bill. Ideally my Bark River Aurora 2, Tundra and Bravo 1 LT all in 3V. I would really like the Mini Duku for building shelter and all the heavy duty chopping. Probably not for hiking though. On the lower end nothing wrong with a Mora Bushraft Triflex and Hultafors GK, which are my beaters.
As long the steel and the heat treat is good enough to hold an edge for three days, any reasonably sized fixed blade knife should do just fine.

Lionsteel M7 large enough to chop, strong enough to baton with, and the choil works very well for me for finer work.

I've thought of that one - if only for the reason that I happen to have one within arm's reach right now... only it's not particularly stabby, in case that's needed.

So my vote goes to the CRK Impofu. More knife is always better than less knife, and you can do pretty much all small knife stuff with a big knife if you know the proper technique (cataract operations excluded).
