from what I own, koster survivor or bk-9

Damn Bruce, a clip point barong!!!!! nice stuff man, still slicing away with my hunting knife.
 
Thanks guys!

Brad, your knife is one of the first 4 or 5 that I ever sold.....

The blade is 13 1/4" tip to scales, forged from sawblade steel that is ~0.280" thick. I have used this steel on several choppers with excellent results (there are few guys here with them). Handle is a tad over 7" with cocobolo scales and copper hardware. Blade is ~2 1/8" at the widest.

Here are some more pics:

I would have to go with this 6 inch S30V blade by Tim Olt. Wicked sharp, indestructible, and it excels at all things 'bushcraft'

Yep, the two i have are great choppers, and the steel is excellent.

That is a great looking blade, Bruce. Very nice. :thumbup:
 
My Matindale Bolo machete is my SHTF blade so I gotta go with it. However, either one of my HI khukris or my CS Trailmaster or 18" Ontario GI machete would be just as reliable. The khuks are probably my toughest knives I own (one is warranted as a prybar) but they're heavy and not well suited for lighter tasks.

It is my purpose-designed answer to the posted question.
 
Frank, if you ever have to use your knife for that purpose that pitdog is talking about, I am kind of thinking that your Truth knife will set you free so to speak lol lol.

My pick would be my ESEE-3. Just love that knife. (Although at some point I want to get my hands on a BK-2) if I couldn't take that, then my Mora 2000, but it would need a better sheath.
 
Ok pitdog, after getting 3 pages of answers did you learn anthing new from these responses?

Personaly I did. One thing is the chances that you or I would have the time to only grab one knife would be not likly. If you can carry a bigger knife the chances are that you can strap or tape a smaller knife with a sheath for it or a pocket / pouch to hold a smaller knife plus some other survival gear.

Second thing is it really is neat to see what others would take for the (one knife) survival situation.
