Survival Knife

Outdoors Quote of the Day, Survival Knives
There is no tool more useful in the backcountry than a knife
Raymond Mears, The Survival Handbook
The Back country traveler needs to be able to rely on their knife. Choosing the right knife is extremely important, a good Knife will never let you down and must be able to perform all the tasks you ask of it.
Some of these knives, are only posted here because I like knives, I have received a couple emails from people annoyed with me for putting up pictures of the Rambo knife…… Yes, I realize that the Rambo style knife in not an ideal survival tool, but it sure does look cool. If your looking for a really good survival knife click on the first picture for our review of the SOG Seal Pup Elite.

Crossbreeding serious survival tools with movies- esp. RAMBO-
is not the way to start serious discussion.YMMV

Sorry, I like Knives and I like to have a little fun sometimes….
On a serious note the Rambo knife is not an ideal survival knife, but i like the way it looks so I put it up. Even when taking about survival a little bit of humor and entertainment can be a good thing. It’s good to take time to be a little goofy……

While I am a big fan of several different knife manufacturers or craftsmen; ML Knives, TOPS, Walter Brend,FallKniven,Ontario,Bill Moran, Becker-Both Orig and Ka-Bar versions, Bark River, and many others I couldn’t resist adding the most recent Rambo knife to my collection. Amazing..It only took 4 movies to create a knife that could actually be used in the jungle setting it is shown in. I carried three knives in the service and continue to do so every time I am in the field. Only rarely would I consider an axe an essential tool, though VERY useful. Otherwise a Parang or machete would due every where else a big knife is required.

The only knife you actually have labeled is the seal pup elite. You should label the other ones. I like the Kukri a lot so far (if you can get the real ones the Gurkha used made from leaf springs collected from recycled truck suspensions) and Randall Adventure Training has some knives that hold up pretty well to abuse. I prefer knives with a plain edge that I can sharpen without hassle.
I would recommend reviewing more knives and also links to places that teach good sharpening techniques. Hopefully more people post reviews.
