Survival Knifes

[Mike Quinn]

I have two multi tools with small knife blades on ,but, I would like something more substantial

 

[bubbadreier]

Fixed blade is the way to go in a SHTF situation in my opinion.

 

[Mike Quinn]

There are so many out there ,so I suppose its down to personal choice Unless you know different what have you got /used in the past that you would recommend.

 

[Roninsensei]

cold steel srk or real big gurkha kukri

Hi Colt , one of the knives I found today is a folding knife with a three and a half inch blade.it is an old knife and needs re sharpening. I would like a fixed blade knife. what do you recommend.

Cold steel or ka bar

 

[Roninsensei]

Listen to colt... Him wise!!

 

[kcdevildog]

Whatever brand it is I would recommend one with a full shank. If your gonna be depending on it you want it to last.

 

[Roninsensei]

Shank? Never heard it put that way. Do you mean tang?

Hey Roninsense do you have a Ka bar ? If so could you give a review on it.

 

[Roninsensei]

I'll look into picking one up. I gave my last one to a Marine being deployed and asked him to give me a review of it, It was a becker magnum camp. http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/144
My initial report is that it was made well but the handle was a bit too big for me. My Marine is a big boy so we'll see what he says about it.
I have an old bk 10 crewman by camillus that is practically the same knife as a ka-bar and i like the knife a lot as a survival knife I just think there's not enough tip to be a good skinner.

Have you check out the Opinels, just a basic simple knife weighs 1.6 oz

 

[Colt 1911]

The collar twist to lock, open or closed.

 

[Mike Quinn]

does it keep a good edge Colt.

 

[Roninsensei]

I do like the Opinels for light use. Its a fun little carving knife and the fact that they are soooo inexpensive. There's a little flex in the blade because its so thin but, good carbon steel knife.

 

[Mike Quinn]

it looks a good knife, but im looking for a heavier bladed knife

 

[Colt 1911]

does it keep a good edge Colt.

yeah, carbon steel. holds a great edge.
