My Top 10 Favorite Survival Knives of All Time

[DerBiermeister]

ESEE knives cover all bases.

I have three with the biggest being the Junglas (10 1/4" blade). That knife is perfect for heavy duty wilderness demands.

for me, I'd rather have a small knife and a saw. I acknowledge that I'm not as experienced as some of y'all, so...

What does a large knife do that a small knife and saw can't?

Well you can do away with the small knife that mostly is used to pick meat from you teeth by using a Arkansas tooth pick like below-

Split wood. Dig holes. Chop up sheet metal..... I could go on.

Please do go on because I've never carried a large knife.

Why split wood? I've always just put bigger logs on the fire once I got it going well. And I find plenty of smaller wood that I can baton into smaller pieces and shave up some tinder. So I legitimately don't understand why so many split so much wood? Also, how does a big knife split wood? Do you baton with a $150 knife? If you're splitting wood, then it sounds like a pretty wide piece of wood and how did you buck it up into logs?

Not that I've done it, but Ray Mears has a video on splitting wood with a saw...



My Morakniv bushcraft can break up dirt for a poop hole or trench around the tent/tarp. What else are people digging for?


What do y'all use a large knife for? I'd really like that info.

Why a large knife?
Compared to a 6'8 person my arms are short. Long knife equalizes things a bit. Goes a lot deeper into a bear too.

you don't need a big knife for a bear. My 4" morakniv can just stab my friend and then I run away. He's not a good friend.

This is only useful with dry seasoned wood and way more work than batoning.
My Bk2 was no where near $150 under $100.
But I would put money on my knife splitting yours in half and still cutting my steak after I cut it off the deer. The fact that you could look up and post that guy splitting with saw but still ask the questions you have asked here proves to me that you are a extremely sheltered city boy or just another little troll.
