What knife would you use in a survival scenario?

[master_nylo]

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!

A buddy of mine did pretty with only his SAK when stranded for several days on the upper Skeena one chilly October. He said it was surprising how much wood you could saw with that little knife.

I’d bet Felix Immler would have a sturdy log cabin built with his SAK in 72 hours.

Anyone know what type of blade that Japanese soldier had who held out for decades in the Philippines after the end of WW II?

Probably a good place to start.

I actually don't mind the pro.

If it can't be done with a Jarbenza it simply can't be done......

Exept if it's done with a Jabenza. Then it can be done.

I just went through that process for a Christmas gift for a friend who is just getting into survivalist stuff, sort of.

I went for the Mora Kransbol multi mount because of the weight and the stainlessness. So he can pack it to his tactical gear and not have to worry about it untill he needs to use it.

I couldn't justify the price of the garberg.

Unless you are trying to cut your way through a brick wall or something. It should hold up.

He’s Swiss. It would have a cuckoo clock in the parlor and a train station outside.

It’s never been proven, you’ll survive better in rags or bear skin than to be properly outfitted.
My late Mother‘s advise was, “It’s always better to be overdressed, than under.”

Maybe this one. Or my Buck 105, which I don't yet have a picture of, and which I've carried camping for many years.

Either one of these guys would probably work for me.

One of the several high quality Machete’s I own + a SAK or a Leatherman.

I hear all you really need is a Vic Executive, but....

It’s definitely one of my favorite knives! 52100 and micarta

I've had a Fallkniven F1 for years now that has not let me down at all. I've built shelters with it, done some batoning, feather sticks, etc. Comfortable handle and the VG10 has held up wonderfully. Not fancy by any means but it's been more than adequate. I'd trust my life with it in a survival scenario...

...along with my Glock and AR by my side.

...Maybe my Mora Garberg, because that Scandinavian chick with the glasses on Youtube spent an entire video trying to abuse it to death, and failed.

...But I'd really rather have a second knife, just on the possibility her experience was a total fluke.

Did I pick yet? Skrama.
