This knife was the hands-down winner the last time we had a similar thread.

Has anything changed?

I carry one of these in my "back-home bag". My bag is currently a fanny pack.

I've had both stored in my vehicle.

I also have one of the Chris Reeve hollow handled knives with stuff stored in the handle that would be my first choice. But the K-Bar and Mora have got to be the better choices where possible theft is an issue......................DJ

A K-Bar is hard to beat and the Glock field knife ain't too shabby either.

Forager you read my mind.... that skeers me!

My K-Bar and I have been all the way around the world.

have an old K-bar with the leather washer handle and a new one with the composite handle, but I also have three of these stashed in vehicles, bugout bags, etc:



have a kershaw folder and Swiss army knife for fine work...this big cold steel bush ranger is for heavy stuff, and also not a bad camp knife. I don't really plan on fighting anybody with a knife as long as I have a functional firearm, but it would do for that, too.

I like the Cold Steel Master Tanto. I think there's one in here someplace:

The perfect tool for your everyday zombie decapitation needs.

and one of these for the little stuff:

The best I've seen is a Spanish army knife. I always keep one close by.
Correction, it's no longer listed that way.
Google Aitor Knives and look for the Cuchillo De Monte

Here it is, note the parkarised (sp?) parts missing were blown off fixing a 5ton truck battery. I managed to make a circuit.
It is razor sharp. How i roll.

For bloodletting, a USMC K-Bar is tough to beat.

For doing lots of neat schitt in a survival situation, an Original Leatherman.

I gots a couple Old Hickory butcher knives around here somewhere.......

I hope the little hippie POS that stole my damned Ka-Bar at least appreciated what it is/was.

These are the two that actually got used a lot (Ka-Bar, Gerber),


Here's the Rambo-licious safe queen (AlMar Warrior)

Shane, I see you have one of the originals. Don't see many of those old Gerbers around. I use a Cold Steel Recon Tanto and now I have my Wildswalker knife.

I picked up the Gerber in 1979, just after boot camp.

Very nice find. Saw several in Vietnam, but I used a Puma bowie over there.Lots more need for a working tool than a killing knife.

FWIW - There are a couple Glock knives on clearance (~ $22) at Midway.....Midway knives
