Well well well, here we go!
I got thinking the other day, this knife is good for this and that knife is good for that, BUT
If you were told you would be camping in a cold, wet and woody enviroment and could only have ONE folder of no more than FOUR inches, which would you carry?
Oh other rules
1. Must be a production model, no customs.
2. You will have no sharpening stones, thus you will have to sharpen using local stones etc.
3. You will have no tools to adjust or open a knife, no SAK etc
4. You will have a basic survival kit and no cans will be opened.
5. The knife will provide shelter and dress food etc.
6. NO MULTITOOLS! OR FIXED BLADES!
Well I get thinking about this and my top choices were eliminated for the following reasons.
Spyderco Military- great knife flat ground plain edge great steel 2nd choice
BM 750 Great, but reground edge is difficult to maintain WITH proper kit. 4th
BM 710 M2 as above and M2 rust problems?5th
MT LCC, Great all rounder steel puts it at 3rd place
Large plain Sebenza. The best folding fixed blade, great steel, tough as a tank and not as heavy as the LCC. 1st place!
Any other suggestions?
