    Is a multi-tool worth the weight on a hiking / camping trip? The first answer would be yes. After all you never know when you may need a pair of pliers for something. Then again, I am 52 years old, been hiking, camping, hunting.... for decades and have only used a multi-tool a handful of...

    Armchair commandos may believe anything sharp will make a good skinning knife, this is simply not true. *Certain types of knives are much better at skinning wild game than others. *Let's take a few minutes and talk about types of knives to stay away from and types to consider. For most...

    what is a good knife for a load carrier? I am putting together a fighting load carrier (FLC) and am looking at mounting a knife on it. I have an SOG mini pentagon 2. It has a blade of around 3 inches. Which makes it nice and compact. On the other hand, do you really need a knife on a load...

    So my friends keep asking me what I want for Christmas and one suggested I might like an all-in-one tool. Now I'm supposed to pick the one I want. I've read about some Gerbers and Leatherman but I don't know what model would work best. I think I'd keep it in my earthquake emergency bag that's...

    One of the great topics in the survivalist / prepping community is about survival knives. Everyone has an opinion about what kind of knife would be ideal for surviving in a post-SHTF / post-TEOTWAWKI world. Some of the discussions on knives revolve around real world situations, while a lot of...

    Hello everyone, I just wanted to see what others prefer for their knives! This could be EDC, survival knife, anything. To begin: My favorite EDC is my ESEE RAT at the moment. It has maintained its edge well and I have abused it plenty. This may change when my Emerson arrives soon. As for a...

    Hey guys, So, I see that the Gerber Bear Grylls line gets a lot of flak. That's totally fair in most cases.' The ultimate knife is crap, what with it's tang and cheap steel and lousy sheath. But what about the ultimate pro edition? That's full tang, a nicer steel, an updated sheath (even if...

    Hello all, I've been fooling around with two things a lot lately, and those are my new work sharp KTS and my Gerber parang. Now, I know the Bear Grylls line of merchandise doesn't get much love, but even it has a few goodies. This parang has been working pretty well for me in yard work (i.e...

    You have $25 to spend, you want to buy a good quality knife, so which one do you buy? What is the purpose of a $25 survival knife? In my opinion, knives in that price range are disposable. They are the knives that if lost or stolen are not going to be expensive to replace. From a survivalist...

    Hi there - I'll have so much to pack into one average-sized bug out backpack that I figure a multitool will be needed since it will save space. I need one for my own kit (which I'm willing to spend more on) and one for a less expensive backpack bug out to be sold in a silent auction through my...

How is it there are so many of you I see posting on the " Only One Knife To Survive " threads that you actually think you can live with only a multitool? I own a few of them, and...

    Well I was at the outdoor store the other day, and saw this; I have liked the design since I first saw it, and the other day I bought it! Have not overly used it, so as far as long term I cant speak to how it will hold up. The things I do like about it are that it is an excellent chopper...
