Knife/Survival Knife Info.

[Proud American]

Alrighty, every one says that knifes are all opinions and everyone has theres, but what knife does that guy use? So I did an hour long search and compiled a list, this is no where complete but I tried to get info. Bassicly this list is to help those of us who have been through these knife post one toooooo many time(not me reffering to). So basicly the hope I have for this list is look at the list, find the person that you think knows somthin and see what hes got. also look at some of the oter knies out there. If I Screwed up please tell me and if you want to add your humble opinion do so. Drum roll please!

Remy: Ka –Bar and Ontario Rat
Beowulf: Home made knives, has no problem with machine made knives though.
NorthWindTrails: Ka-Bar, and second choice A 4-1/2 inch full tang fixed blade sheath knife of good carbon steel
Sarge47: Buck Vangaurd, likes it because it better then Ka-Bar cause of its better size makes it more practical. Still likes the Ka-Bar and the Rat-7 cause they are
good quality knives. No problem with the Buck Vangaurd 119/120.
List of knives Sarge wants as of 12-28-2007
1.) A very good quality "Ghurka" knife.
2.) Gerber LMF II

FVR: Ka-Bar, Marine pride loves it, does a lot of things with it.
NativeDude: likes Frost Mora Model S1, cause of its small size and that it holds its balde well.
Fog Harbor: Ka-Bar Kukri, heavy enoughf to use as a hatchet.
Volwest: Machete.
Robneville73: Ka-Bar Kukri, use as a machete but thinks more versatile, also uses it as a large fixed balde cause of its light weight.
Kufitar; As a Scandinavian likes a puukko knife.
Marcraft: has a kuukuri machete
Flandersander: Ka-Bar 12’ machete.

[Nativedude]

Thanks, would you add anything to your list

My Schrade knife was my main knife for 28 years, but they no longer make it so I retired it last year. It is now my back-up knife. Same size as my Mora. It's made of 1095 high carbon steel and hold an edge very well!

[Sarge47]

I have the Buck Vanguard as a ""Back-up" Knife, my favorite is my Ka-Bar "Bull-Dozier".

My post on the Vanguard was giving it the "props" I felt that it deserved. I also own a Buck 120/General. It's a bit longer than the 119 and you can only buy it, as far as I know, from Cabela's. That's for the Record, but great job, Proud, it must of took you awhile to compile all that info.

my knife buck all the way current knife short nighthawk http://www.buckknives.com/catalog/detail/430/234

[Smok]

That took you some time to do But that is not my main knifes . I feel honored just to be named in the pack

[Robbie Roberson]

The best survival knife is the one you have with you.

I always have my SOG Hunter Revolver.

I put a link but removed it because it might be considered advertising since I invented it........(smile)

Nice job, Proud. Looks like Ka-Bar might have a slight edge (no pun intended this time) but there are all makes and models listed.

[Proud American]

Smok i got your knife post i think in a post about axes or somthin.

Nice knife Sarge, i am lookin to buy a knife( hence the search)

robie you said that before, also showing us your knife I dont think would be breaking rules as your not selling them. Beowulf shows his knifes that are homemade by friends. Meaning id love to see your knife! Send me it in a pm if thats okay?

[Proud American]

Alrighty Ive made this list a blog and have edited it with your updates. Now it will be easy to refrence new people to the list also you can pm me if you want to update the blog

[Robbie Roberson]

I really should not post a link since it could be considered advertising in my situation.

[Proud American]

Well now I see why you hesitated your knife is a full blown by able product! Im inpressed but yeah that is against the rules but I asked. Im inpressed though still.

[Robbie Roberson]

Lets get back to the topic. (grin) I carry two types of knives for survival (for now), a folder and a straight.
The folder is a CRKT m-16 and the straight is a SOG Hunter Revolver.

Actually, I have 4 preferred knives; Kabar MKII, New Gen. Kabar, a homemade Bowie that is basically a Kabar with an antler handle and the last is my pioneer knife. It's a large steak knife made out of an old file.

First Pic, Beo style knives.http://Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

Then the Kabars.http://Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.


All 4 of them, at 15 paces can hit the bull and all are kept shaving sharp. But hey, I don't shave.

I am very comfy with large knives.

[Aurelius95]

FVR- Happy Birthday! By the way, I like the steak knife! Nicely done.

[FVR]

Thanks. I did not make that steak knife, mine did not turn out as purty, but I use it often at work.

Isn't the best knife the one you have at the time?
