Hello again.
I've tried to get some help here under different nick yesterday but I got banned for spaming - I guess it was because I did put link to my page in the post - I am sorry for my mistake.
Now I post the same question without any links and hope to get some answers as it is really important for me/us. Thanks in advance.
Me and a couple of my friends created a project - a list of 149 Things that we must do in our lives (I can give link on PM if someone is interested).
We want to show people that even with limited funds and other obstacles You can do amazing things. Moreover - You can make Your dreams come true.
And now back to the "I need advice" part
Our Thing 002 on the list is called: "72 hours with a Knife in a Forest".
There will be 6 of us (at this moment) and we want to spend 72 hours in woods with only "clothes on our back and a knife in a pocket".
No lighetrs, no matches, no food, no water, no nothing
And finally the question - what survival knife would You choose for such an event? It has to be multi-functional so we can cut wood, maybe scrape some fish, etc. It will be used for everything.
And how would You do it? You think every one of us should have the same kind of knife? Or should we choose different ones to have more varied equipement?
I would really appriciate some answers as I believe there are many Knife Experts here who can share their wisdom.
Regards

I'd use a Khukuri.
Especially one that comes with the little accessory knives. Use the sharpener (dull one) for starting fires..and sharpen the little one up and you got a handy little knife.
And whoever suggested cutting down a old japanese katana..should be beaten with a giant stick..especially since ones in good condition are worth several thousand dollars~

Mine is slightly customized with some micarta and leather, but overall this has been and always will be the ultimate 'one' knife for me. Its hard to put into words how good this knife really is. While it doesn't do any one thing perfect, it can do just about anything you can image with above average performance.
For me, its the perfect compromise between big and small. While personally I would classify this as a 'big' knife, its not a 10" Busse.
If I could only walk into the woods with ONE thing, it would be this knife.
