I'm on a very limited budget and am hoping that one of my fixed blades will be suitable for survival/bushcraft use. I have a fixed blade in my bugout bag, but I'm thinking about changing things around.
What tasks should I worry about and what kinds of knives are best for those tasks? I initially approached this with the idea that I didn't need a heavy/stout knife, just one that cuts well. I had figured that my knives would be used for food prep, cutting cordage, making fuzz sticks, striking a ferroceum rod, etc. I never planned on doing any chopping...
Right now, my fixed blades consist of:
Buck 119 Special
Cold Steel Government
Benchmade Nimravus Cub
Mora Craftsman
Mora Clipper
Mora Classic
Mora 2010 Outdoors
Marttiini Big Game Hunter
Right now, the Mora Clipper is in my bugout bag. Should I rethink this? Or perhaps supplement?
Thanks.
