Hypothetical Question
Wayne Adamson
the end would be taken off you what would you carry? The knives must perform
an all conditions, with no way to oil or look after them, sharpening must be
performed with a pocket tool or built in sharpener.
I considered the following
Phrobis 3 M-9, cos the steel is very rust resistant and the sheath has a
sharpener and other functions and despite how others criticise 425 steel I
think it is fine for this situation.
Gerber Gator ATS-34 H/S great for skinning etc and is very strong.
Leatherman Supertool, covers all the other stuff, cuts wood, has 2 blades
etc etc.
What about the rest of you?

I'd probably carry a Cold Steel Trailmaster (stainless) and a large Gurkha.
Then the latest survival knife that carried the most stuff (compass, saw,
matches, etc,,),
If "survival situation" means attacked by one or more opponents in a life or
death situation.
I'd carry a Tai Pan (cold steel), Escalator (designed by Bram Frank), and
Crossada (hand made by Bob Dozier).

I rather have a large Gurkha too. Especially since the Gurkha is a highly
trained Nepalese mercenary skilled in jungle survival.
You're thinking of the Gurkha's knife, the khukuri. Don't worry, I had a guy
once ask whether it would draw undue law enforcement attention if he walked
around with a Gurkha straped to his belt :0D

Wouldn't the Trailmaster and the Kukri serve roughly the same purpose of
chopping and heavy cutting?

There's an important difference.
Having a big knife strapped to you would probably get you arrested in
California, but being strapped
to another man wouldn't.

claimed that you could make a spear out of a trail master. Its thick enough
to whack into a tree and use as a step if you had too. While the Gurka
would take care of all chopping needs such as firewood, clearing, and
defense if you needed.

Yeah, but what if the guy you were strapped to had a big knife strapped to
him? %-)

Serious answer this time.
Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel
Benchmade Axis
Leatherman Wave.
Wave- for all the fiddly things.
Axis - for all the heavy *cutting* tasks such as dressing game.
Shovel, for digging, prying and chopping (to protect the other two from
abuse).
