all jokes aside, South Florida is sub-tropics, and there's nothing there that could be called a "jungle" (if you've been to the everglades you've seen what Florida is really like). living in Miami was a trip though. I swear if it got into 60's, Haitians would be walking around with winter coats and mittens and shyt

now I'm in Louisiana, where lastnight it was in the 30's. (and in a few days I'll be hill bombing in SF )

If you're out in the woods you def don't need a serrated edge. An axe/hand axe is the best for cutting wood. Ive used a saw and they're a pain in the ass for big wood pieces unless you got a really good quality one. All you need a knife for is cutting small stuff/cleaning meat which a straight edge is better for unless you wanna make things a lot harder than they need to be.

If you keep a good edge, you can cut through all of those materials.

I have never needed anything beyond a Mora knife, and there are plenty of others who have had the same experience.

The "Survival" Knives look cool--they are big and crazy looking, but I have found that it is really unnecessary and impractical.

A survival knife is one you can carry with you at all times and is reasonably sized - basically a pocket knife. Not anything 'big, or ridiculous'. However, you cannot get a sharp enOugh edge on a 2-3" Length blade, which certain applications call for. in emergency situations where time is of the essence, there is a noticeable difference using a serrated edge vs. the sharpest blade. Just a fact.

I can shave with my Mora's, that's how sharp they are.

I would prefer a sharp blade, so I can quickly prepare kindling, feather sticks, cut rope, and use it for any other emergency situation.

One can easily cut wood with just a Mora knife, you just need the knowledge of how.

the point is you don't have an axe/handsaw/chainsaw/lazer gun

So a reasonably sized log falls and you have to cut it with a pocket knife.

The sharpest pocket knife is not going to be more efficient than a serrated edge pocket knife. You cannot get enough force to cut through that log faster than a serrated edge because of the size, regardless of how sharp the blade is.

Nothing a skill can't overcome.

These videos have no relevance to my point.

You can cut anything with a blade with enough time. A serrated blade is far more efficient in certain applications where time is of the essence. If it wasn't, they wouldn't make a serrated edge on most pocket knives.

I just don't agree. Serrated blade doesn't have the teeth like a saw. I never seen someone use a tactical knife for foresting without using a baton. Honestly, I never used a "tactical" knife before, but I doubt it would be more efficient in an emergency than a Mora.

I can do anything with a Mora knife. Not only can I cut trees, I can split logs, I can feather stick, I can create wood tools, and I make a shelter. I can also easily sharpen it using a small stone.

I know I can survive with it for days if I need to. That's all that really matters.

Why don't you tho? Planning to get lost in the woods or something? I'm talking about a camping/hiking situation.

I have a hunting knife, gerber tool and e-tool.

E-tools are important. Make sure you pick one up. It has a chopping side and sawing side that is useful.
