What is a good survival knife i could buy?

Can you send me some links and reviews?


Get this. I used to think that Swiss Army knives were for dorks. That is, until I received one as a gift one year as a teenager. I took the thing to Boy Scout camp one summer and enrolled in a merit badge program called "Wilderness Survival". This was back when boys were men and they sorta trusted teenagers to have common sense.

As part of the training I received, I was placed in a remote location in the wildernes (not more than 2 miles from the camp) and told to survive for 2 days on my own. I was allowed to wear as much clothing as I wanted when I went out, but was not allowed to take any sort of pack with me. No rain gear, no change of clothes, no canteen and no method of starting a fire. I was allowed to take a single knife along and was given 1/2 pound of raw ground beef. Let me tell you something. I took my Swiss Army knife along with me and I very quickly changed my mind about how useful they can be! I built a simple shelter out of limbs that I cut with the thing and used the tweezers to pull some splinters out of my fingers.

Sure, you can buy those big heavy Rambo style knives. But a Swiss Army knife (the real ones, made in Switzerland) are what I would call "wilderness surgical tools". They can build you an adequate shelter AND be used for a variety of medical applications when you need urgent care but a hospital can not be reached.

Which company makes good knife's? for a decent price.


As stated by the other answers, BUCK makes some really good knives for the hunter. Wal-mart has good prices on them and I got my sheath knife for about $30 or so.

I am not a fan of the newer style of survival knife with the "saw blade" but prefer the clean standard cutting edge.
