Best Survival Knife

[Julius Skrrvin]

Axes are great for splitting wood, strongly disagree with PoZ.

Survival hatchets are pretty cool too.

Rather get a Machete

Axes are great for splitting wood. But it is dangerous! I didn't say they weren't great for splitting wood.

They aren't great for taking down standing deadwood for a campfire. I would much rather use a saw.

You need a really good Axe, definitely not something you would buy from Big 5 or some other store at the mall.

Knives are for fags get a sword

Oh yeah for sure I wouldnt handle anything of a decent size with an axe. Definitely on the money regarding the cheap stuff. Dont need an axe head flying off the handle at you or something like that.

 

[VerbalIntercourse]

obviously it would be better to have an actual saw, not to mention a bunch of other tools. but I thought this was about one all-around tool for survival

If you're good with an Axe, that is basically all you would need I guess in the Northern forests.

But for the tropical forests there is no all-around better tool than the machete.

Also a partially serrated blade that is made by gerber is going to be made of Stainless steal, that's tougher to sharpen and hold an edge.

I wasn't trying to argue for one particular brand. for that matter, Mora also makes knives with stainless blades

overall, I'd rather have a knife than an axe. I can't imagine cleaning a fish with an axe. for the record, i do have some experience with this

Ka Bar is a good brand.

Think about how you're going to sharpen that in the field? I'd try to be more practical

Ever use a sword? Swords ar more manly.

My boy has this, he got it as a gift its very nice. Paired with a medium sized knife would probably be very versatile.
