Whats your favorite survival knife?

[TopSpecUS]

A knife that is versatile and durable for outdoor use. Can be used for cutting, digging, splitting, and defense. And not too much hassle to sharpen.

Aren't we doing this in your other thread? Is this one different?

And, I believe, if a member with Dealer level status wanted to do some market research in what "survival" knives BF members would like to see them carry...I'm sure it would be well within the rules to just openly ask the members. I'm sure every one would be glad to help knowing the context.

I'm not implying that is what you are doing, and I may be wrong about the rules...I often am.

Buck 119. Or a Woodman's Pal. Maybe both.

I'm in an urban/suburban area so I want something that can handle man made materials as well as woods duties. I really like the Ontario 499 pilot survival knife for this purpose. 1095 steel is easy to sharpen, and the heavy solid steel pommel is excellent for hammering. Most importantly for this knife is the small toothed saw back which can be used to cut metal if needed. Low cost makes having multiples no problem. This knife was originally designed to first deal with man made materials, then possible wilderness and lastly defense so it's fits my needs perfectly.

I do have another thread for this. So I am going to close this one.
