Here in the communist state of Michigan the gubmint says we can't carry a fixed blade unless we're hunting, fishing or camping. So I'm always hunting, fishing or camping.

Australia we are not allowed to carry a knife at all. Not that we need one to cut the watered-down gruel they feed us in the covid retraining camps.

[@JoelPerri7777]

Hear ya loud and clear from across the Great Lakes in NY. It’s the same rule for switchblades here, gotta be hunting or fishing, cuz we all know very well, switchblades are the “go too” knife for any and all outdoors activities. lol I mean really, these draconian knife laws are just so silly. I also don’t think I’m allowed to have anything over 4 inch blade. Let’s not even talk about our insane restrictive gun laws. But I digress…knives are most certainly tools and should be treated as such in the eyes of the law. I’m not aware of any slip joint plyers laws lol now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to my drafting of an obsidian bill, I’m sending to my local congressman, banning that stone for open carry…😂😊

The Air Force knife is known as the PSK, Pilot’s Survival Knife. The sawback is not made to saw wood, but aircraft aluminum skin. We used them in SERE training in the AF, but it is just an ok knife. Not my first choice now, or even when I flew. I have one, but mostly for nostalgic purposes. Thanks for the videos!

I really like to have a SAK with me - my favourite is a Victorinox Compact that has a blade, scissors, a pen, a pin (and few other tools) - really useful set of tools for an urban environment. A great thing about a SAK is that people don't feel threatened when you take it out.

[@M21Karl]

We have so many good knives to choose from these days. Way back - more than likely before you were born when about the only option we had was the Air Force survival knife. I remember trading one to some boy scouts for food during Ranger school survival training. It was totally worth it.

[@remfj40]

Fan of the Esee 4 is my go too if not just running around town. Good discussion points.

[@charlessalmond7076]

Excellent video sir! I am one of those knife nerds. Up until maybe 15 years ago I had never spent more than 50 bucks on a knife. The first time I did, I spent almost 200. I started reading alot more about steels, heat treats, and grinds. Having said all that, it really is simply preference. At the end of a full day of carving around a campsite, I'm either sharpening standard steels, or honing super steels. It takes me about the same amount of time for mantinance. Of my two current go to fixed blades one is 1095 and one is 3v. In addition to not purchasing something labeled "survival ", I'd like to add. If the packaging has a picture of a guy in a tac-vest, a big "don't purchase "! Sorry to be long winded.

[@jamescook2041]

Bought an F1 in the 90's at the recommendation of a writer I really respected. It was issue to the Swedish Air Force at the time. Mine came with a kydex sheath. Carried it on day hikes through the wilds of the Carolinas for a few years with it mounted to the bottom of my day pack where no one appeared to be the wiser. It worked very well. In 2002 we visited my Father in Law up in Alaska. With the airline restrictions in place at the time we shipped some stuff early out to my FIL; one the item was my F1. During the trip we had occasion fish for trout and my FIL caught a huge trout but he didn't have a knife to process the fish. I whipped out my F1 and in a few strokes the fish was cleaned and wrapped and into the freezer of the RV. I doubt his body temp was ever above 45 degrees before he went into the oven a couple of days later. The F1 has a stout spine but the edge remains scapel sharp.

[@unfi6798]

Agreed - F1 is a really good knife.

[@judgem0rt1s23]

"It's my knife, and I will use it for all sorts of things!" When I was in college, a lot of the young men in our program carried knives with them because, as you said, they are multi-purpose tools. At the time, though, me being a city a kid, I thought it was weird that so many people would carry knives on them outside of self-defense. After watching videos like this one, I now see why they carried knives with them wherever they went.

[@Low-effort-individual]

I carry a folder basically all the time unless I’m camping or travelling then Im using not to far away from a fixed blade I think the main thing is people should carry good quality stuff and not complete trash for instance I like my Chris reeve folders but I know for a fact a cheap cold steel folder would be a lot stronger but I’m not planning on falling trees with a folding knife worst case I use a saw in my Swiss Army knife right tool for the right job but don’t by shit

[@edwardenglish6919]

1095, 3.5 blade, 3.5 handle, full tang, 3/16-1/4 thick, scandinavian,exposed pommel, 90 spine. sculpted handle.

[@squirreltamer2548]

I always have a spiderco or a Al Mar folding knife on my person. If I know I’m going into the woods, I always have a large knife (5 inches +) and a small knife (3 inches or less). The small knife being used for fine whittling and carving chores, the large knife is used for wood processing or self defense.

[@MichaelB2L]

Talking about knives, survival and not depending on the state is naughty

[@ColdHarborOP]

The fixed blade knife I love the most is a full sized Kephart pattern, something like an LT Wright Genesis in a saber grind, but the fixed blade knife I EDC religiously is a simple Mora Eldris. It drops down in one of the spare magazines pockets of my cargo pants and sticks out just enough to both be handy and not legally concealed. And it does indeed handle 95% of tasks I need a knife for. In a perfect world, we'd all open carry bush swords. Until then, the Eldris is a great constant companion.

[@pengovan]

After many years of collecting knives, I realised that the best survival knives are puukko and leuku. You might say they are not full-tang, and you will be 100% right! The thing is that they are so versatile and comfortable in almost any possible scenario. Whenever I do something with a knife, it's a puukko or leuku knife.

[@samueljlarson]

Some good points. Also consider buying and trying out different knives to know what you like and how to use your knife. People forget that the knowledge behind the knife matters way more than the knife itself.

[@briangrant2005]

You know what, I found a great Walmart Special Knife that came in their "survival kits", but it's a full tang blade and it's easy to sharpen. Can do staving and feathering with it, and it's super light! I have it as my Do-All Knife on my "Work Belt". Better yet, has a paracord handle and is less than $10 if bought by itself.

[@user-McGiver]

humble blades are the best buddies...

[@frost8077]

Is it a Camillus? I was really impressed with the little folder I have.

[@Outcaste153]

I am with you, I've used every knife I own a ton. For every task, even the tracker for food prep. I see it this way if your get a knife for the long term event and that's what you got you should know if it will do what you need to survive.

[@henryvandeventer2457]

"Folders have points of failure" Cold Steel has entered the chat 😂 I carry a CS Recon 1 (rotate between the Tanto, Spear Point and Clip Point), works great for just basic every day tasks and also for hard use. If i need to be a bit more fancy, suited and booted, i have a CS Code 4 in my jacket pocket. Usually have a fixed blade like the CS Kobun in my bag. For outdoors - hiking, camping,bushcraft- my Gerber Strongarm has never let me down. Heck, that thing crowbarred a car door open a few years back when we stopped on the highway to help people involved in a car accident. I've got a ton of "safe queen" EDC and "bushcraft/survival" knives that tend to just sit in a case while fall back on carrying and my CS knives, my Strongarm, my Glock field knife or even my Ruike Jager.

[@greekveteran2715]

I think the best survival knife is one that has a 1095 Cro Van blade with a Saber Grind. Folders, oh no, not for me. I like serrated edges; they are great for making feather sticks.

[@user-wv4sq1jk1n]

My thoughts here will address what may be needed (IMO) in potentially the roughest of times: survival in the wilderness, urban, suburban, and rural areas to deal with life-threating attacks from animals and people as well as to use for general cutting, slicing, and chopping tasks around your home, vehicle, travels, and/or at your wilderness camp location during a survival (SHTF) period: • Blade edge: Long straight cutting edge with an arching belly for slicing, cutting, and skinning. • Blade grind: Flat or saber for edge strength. • Blade spine: .25 can be too thick and heavy, .125 can work, and .20 is good. • Blade length: 4” up to 6” is good. Below 4” is short. Have the blade length that allows the point and blade edge to be easily controllable with the arm and wrist; some people can control a longer length. • Blade point: Positioned at the centerline of the knife for instinctive use as an extension of the arm and wrist. It has a point with enough metal behind it that it will not break when twisting the blade. • Blade steel: 1095 or T1 tool steel requires cleaning of all moisture and oiling to prevent rust; they can also require sharpening often, after heavy use. I am currently using the following knives and steels: MagnaCut steel Buck 663 Alpha Guide Elite or the Buck 663 Alpha Guide Pro with the S35VN steel; NIOLAX steel LionSteel T5 model from Germany on a knife made in Italy and offered by BladeHQ; and the CPM 3V steel LionSteel T6 model offered by BladeHQ. • Sheath and handle: Good knife retention if you fall or tumble, allows for a firm grip of the handle to remove the knife from the sheath, and the sheath allows for wearing/positioning as you want. Has a handle that fits your hand with no “hotspots” as well as a surface that holds your grip. Securely fastened through the full tang of the knife. • Pommel: Has a pommel that can break a vehicle’s window and for non-lethal defensive strikes. • Balance: Has a weight balance located at the finger choil, and it has a finger guard in front of the choil to prevent your hand from slipping onto the blade during a forward- or reverse-grip thrust (penetration strikes). • Camp use: Can prepare food (cutting, slicing), firewood (making a hardwood wedge for splitting, beaver-chewing, feather-sticks, etc.), and shelter (cutting, notching) preparations. Can clear small trees and branches as well as be used to craft/make camp related items (stools, tables, chairs, pot-hangers, tripods, meat sticks, etc.). • Substance: Can kill, clean, skin, and prepare meat for food and pelts for coverings. • Defense: enough penetration to reach vital organs and sharp enough to cut through hide/skin, clothing, and meat/muscle to reach major arteries and the trachea (blood and air flow). I have a lot of other knives that I love to use at specific time, which I have used for decades. The three mention in this post fit the bill (for me) of knifes that meet a true SHTF Survival scenario (the two LionSteel knives are the best (IMO), the Buck 663 if good for non-wilderness general survival use but able to handle wilderness if needed).

[@Flyboyminer]

Hey brother, don't think the serrations on your F1 are for roots. I believe that is primarily for cutting through sheet metal in case of a downed pilot. The knife you showed next had good root serrations (longer and deeper). Great selection of blades, good sir!

I’ve carried and used every knife I’ve ever owned. I give away the ones that don’t fit well. There are some that I keep coming back to, but most of them are distributed in all the many backpack-kits that I’ve spent the last 40 years making. (It’s sort of a hobby) I edc a TOPS Brakimo so I’m not worried about my knife if I find myself in a predicament. Except for getting stranded in the jeep in the middle of nowhere, I don’t really see myself getting into a “survival” situation. And I don’t drive in the middle of nowhere as much as I used to.

I’ve lost too many knives because of the clip.. They just grab the vines in the woods.. A good sheath is just as important as the blade.. The main thing for me is the experience that comes with using all of them over the years and understanding how to overcome the deficiency of the tool (whichever one you have) when you need it.. I certainly favor a good full tang fixed blade these days though.. As far as that goes, I find you get what you pay for the majority of the time.. Other than writing a book here, I’m a knife whore 😂

I carry a Victorinox Explorer Swiss Army Knife for EDC but slip joint knives are dangerous unless, like me, you are used to them and careful not to fold them onto your fingers. Though I might be caught with only this little multi-bladed knife, it is NOT a survival knife ! Survival knives should be suitable for fighting off people and animals, general bushcrafting, game processing, fishing, food preparation and emergency medicine. Good possibilities include : Esee 5 ( 1/4 " thick and designed for helicopter pilot survival), Kukris by Cold Steel and KaBar, Old Air Force Pilot knives by Onterio and others ( attached sharpening stone on sheath, bolt pommel for hammering but needs shapening to be sharp ), British MOD Survival Knife ( 1/4" thick and rugged but needs sharpening out of the box), Glock Field Knife, Tops SXB and SXS , Woodman's Pal, Mil. KaBar. The key features to consider are : an easy to draw sheath, versatility, ruggedness, blade length of at least 5", hand guard or resistance to sliding hand up blade, use in type of wilderness you will be hiking through and added features you might want ( Think TOPS SXB, SXS---- and Tracker knives by various makers). Carry a belt-pack survival kit and forget about gimmicks like attached junk on sheaths and hollow handles.

[@Desert_Manimal_1095]

The Tom Brown Tracker is fool proof on carving feathersticks out of ANYTHING but it’s not a capable fighting knife like the Tops SXB by EJ Snyder… The Esse Juglas looks like a really good balance between a nimble defense tool and a capable chopper… The Ontario Marine Raider Bowie is discontinued because douche bags wanna buy cheap Chinese steel gimmicks…. The Channel Joe X is undisputable about showcasing the most durable blades…. Cold Steel SR-1 is a really good affordable small folder…. Mineral Mountain Hatchet Works and Work Tuff Gear make extremely tuff blades…. Cold Steel and K Bar are ok but I trust Tops more but they’re expensive. …. If I know anything, you need a full tang chopper like the Juglas and something to featherstick unless you’re good enough to do fine work with a huge blade… I personally think The Tom Brown Tracker is the best for it’s size. It has both a huge sabre and a finer grind in one tool with a functional notching saw and it’s indestructible… it just doesn’t have a hand guard for defense

[@michaelthigpen7677]

[@Wolf-viking]

It’s funny you and a lot of guys praise the Glock knife. It’s standard issued for danish military and I can tell you we do break alot of them.. I can tell you haven’t dig alot of trenches with this knife, cos you would know that the saw on the back of the knife is so bad as the old Rambo knifes… sorry I love your channel but Glock knifes shouldn’t be on any list for survival it’s a fighting knife not a general purpose knife for outdoor

[@LarsSmith-rv4ot]

If I have to grab one knife heading out the door for survival it would be the Gerber Strongarm. Hard to break the blade, I can sharpen it. What can you do with a broken blade? Ounce for ounce, dollar for dollar the fake Strongarms off Temu or AliExpress are the best knife. IMO $10 - $15 for an near indestructible knife. I don't have any knives over $100 so can't say but for now it's the Strongarm. Not perfect but tough.

It’s concealable as not to scare any of my soft neighbors but big and strong enough to take care of anything I might encounter close to home. When I go in the bush I always carry a fixed blade though. And when I’m in the city I have a light duty Benchmade bugout in my waist or pocket or a razor sharp Civivi.

The concept of a "survival knife" is crippled in any way. You don't usually plan on surviving, but when you do, you normally take a big chunky "survival knife" with you.

if you get the RIGHT multitool, with the right blades, it beats ALL belt knives to hell. Get a Leatherman Crunch, and toss out the SS serrated knife blade, the Phillips blade and the SS file. Replace the knife blade with one made out of an Old Hickory paring-knife. Add two real -deal Nicholson files, , one a 3 sided file the other a flat file. Alter the tool to be taken-apart and reassembled with no other tools. Grind the end of the vise grip jaws to a needle nosed configuration. Alter the small flathead blade to be an awl, needle and twin edged drill blade. Alter the medium flathead to be a scoop knife and a chisel. Alter the end of the 3 sided file to be a gouge. The vise grip holds one of my 3 different saw blades. A knife is just a knife. It can't do even 1/4 of the things that the modified Crunch can do.

It's always the old timers that take bench grinders to their knives. Lol they are the worst about it.

The root of the problem with knives is the stupid marketing behind them. The thing is that there are so many knives that would be good choices and I think really it comes down tos people preferring something light and short and then on the opposite end of the spectrum some people want a knife that they can baton wood with and can serve as a pry bar. It all comes down to what you need your knife to do and what applications you're going to put it to.

Real men don’t wear skinny jeans 🤦‍♂️

“Survival knife” idea is getting outdated. 4.5-6” full tang fixed blade with decent steel that can get ya by if need be. You’re not getting a one tool option
