Best Survival Knife

[Mr swag]

im copping that mora surivial knife and dropping the bk2

any machete i should get?

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.

what your logic here? you act like it's 100% gimmick. do you think the military invests in gimmicks?

those are knives made for combat. different function.

and they are costly. Mora's are 9$ and up and they last a lifetime. Mora's are tools not weapons. If that's what you want, then chose a tactical knife.

I go outdoors all the time, and I have never encountered a situation where i said, "if only i had a tacticle knife".

they're all 'tools'

I have a pocket knife. most of the time I use it to open beers. but I've found several times when the partially serrated blade came in handy. it gives it more functionality as a tool. it still has the same straight edge (shouts out to Minor Threat) that you like. plus the option of a serrated edge

you're going so far as to attach yourself to a particular brand. it just seems silly

anyway, I'm gonna to be in the bay next week, and plan on making a trip to one of the federal parks up north. any recommendations?

I'm not attached to a "brand". Mora knifes are very different than most knifes.

The Backyard Bushman » Knife Grinds Explained

The scandi grind is about as simple as there is to understand. In the world of primary and secondary grinds, things and terminology can get confusing real quick. A scandi grind is simple, because there is only one grind, and you are looking at it. It is typically in the range of 12.5 degrees per side, or 25 degrees inclusive. With this being the only grind on the blade, the bevel created is wide and flat.

This grind is typically recommended for beginning bushcrafters because the width of the grind makes it very easy to sharpen. Other thinner grinds can make it harder to determine what the proper sharpening angle is. With the scandi grind, being wide, you can just lay it down, pivot the knife on to the grind, and it becomes obvious that you are holding it at the correct sharpening angle.

This is just my opinion that will continue to pop up multiple places on this site; if you don’t know how to sharpen your knife you have no business using it or carrying it. If you are out in the woods with a dull compound bevel knife and do not have the knowledge to do anything about it, you are in trouble. That is the reason the scandi grind is usually so highly recommended.
