Best survival knife?

[R. Johnson]

I used and SOG 6" fixed blade knife in SERE and it served me very well. Had my KA-BAR not been lost in packing boxes I would have used it. KA-BAR's were very popular among SERE students and instructors. ASEK knives are good too, but I'm not sure I'd spend the money on one.

Multi tools are fer kweers. NTTAWWT, Also TANAK (They Are Not A Knife).

Long knives suck. You gonna wanna be should conspirin to start in on doing no buscraft skeel tipe stuff nor gutting no deers with no Rambo nife??? No. No no, Nanette. Wut about feelaying a feesh? Gotting a trowt? How would one even begin to be not having that length be all in the way. Biggar is not always better, this is not Tejas. When how should often you be havin need that 2" that it be justifyin all the gettin' in the way?

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, the length of Jack's knife don't make up for his...I've lost my train of thought.

3" -4" fixed blade, non-serrated. Just don't plunge it into your femoral artery, because at that point it is not a survival knife any longer.

This just in: Blurry, poorly lit, awful cell phone pics of a well used Mora 510 in a sheath with a Sweedish Firesteel, and my RAT RC-3. I also have a RAT Izula that's pretty handy.

Uh, I've been busy lately, and haven't been able to express my normal amount of daily weirdness IRL. Sometimes it comes to the surface in the form of weirdness on the internet. I've got to let it out, mang. I am ashamed and I do apologize.

Please return to the regularly scheduled discussion. Where were we? Combination knife/bivouac?

SOG Fusion Micron for the win. Anything bigger is just compensating!

This thread got me to looking at SOG knives and I couldn't help but order a couple of the Salute Black Oxide's. I like their looks. Hope they are good knives.
