What happens when you don't have your favorite blade with you or it breaks or you lose it?? More than likely you'll be dependent on your back-up and/or EDC. It would be advisible to determine how well you can do in "the bush" with that SAK, Spyderco, Benchmade, etc. since Murphy is smiling about you best laid plans.
ok i got it rite hah ha
sorry for the mess back there.
You lucky duck!
How is that N690? I bet spyderco did a killing on the heat treat.

The Urban Jungle of South Florida requires a different survival knife than what most of you would consider standard on this forum.
It's like a souped up Sharp Finger!
It's a little beauty, something between a knife and a cutter. with the screw that keeps the blade securely open and close.
The Wal-Mart should sell this little thing for $3 to $4, or at least something looked like.
Enjoy the photos:thumbup:

it's a great knife i've use it fir felling trees spliting wood down to the small task of making furry sticks for the fire. i real like the knife because of the wide spin it make for a perfect buton knife, the full flat grind blade gives good sliceing power. you might be suprised but the finish of the micarta is pretty grippy. the knife weights about 2 lbs but the blanace is just rite you can chop for long periods and you arm dosent feel like its coming off. over all the knife is a winner but the sheath is a little lose for my taste but a little heat and a pinch point and its good to go if you like i can take some pics of the hossum at work .fb16 woodlander it's the big boy the dayhiker is on my list.

the 690 has been great so far but i have little knowledge of this steel .but what i can tell you is that can beat on a tree till it falls and still cut open a pack of hot dogs. cut rope or steak. in going to take it on my next white river trip. it stayed home this time because of weight issue i was worried about and it turned out the kyak had more than engough room and boyancy
wish i had got to take it. sorry for the miss spell on a few words.

I have taken the belt loop off my Scrap Yard SS4 kydex sheath and threaded paracord through the eyelets to attach the knife to my day pack straps. Other than that I usually just wear it on my belt.
Here is a pic of the knife and sheath to help you picture what I am talking about:

My BK7 with a modified handle in its original sheath with attachment for the leg. Its my survival setup for one-day hiking or other short outdoor activities.
My other knifes for outdoor use whit basic modifications. Mostly done fore a better grip and more control.
