Survival knife

[TMorita]

Any other recs? I don't really want a recurve blade. I think my list is now:

- Busse Satin Jack
- Chris Reeve Shadow IV, maybe another Chris Reeve as I'm not sure if I want the one piece
- Busse Badger Attack (thick, non-TAC version)
- RAT Cutlery RC-5 SERE, maybe the RC-4
- Scrap Yard Dumpster Mutt (although I'd probably just get a Busse)

Ka-bar Becker BK2 (5" long blade, .25" thick IIRC)

its interesting that unlike all the $ "dork ops" spends on ads, Randall knives, spends almost zero on ads, it seems like, but t hey have a five year waiting list.
their brochures are not very impressive, and their website is very plain.
I actually went to the Randall factory in Orlando and its totally underwhelming as you drive up. it looks like someones house, the driveway is dirt, if I recall correctly and there's really no paved parking.
you ask yourself "am I in the right place?"
but sure enough, they make awesome knives that have been carried by generals, astronauts, royalty and presidents, as well as real deal warriors.
so, I have 8 more months to wait for one Randall bowie, but another 3 1/2 for a #2.

well, did you get your randall?

I carry a machete along with a Cold Steel Master Hunter. The sharpest machete I have found is the Condor available at SMKW.com. I have the Inca with 12 inch blade and the 18 inch. I love mine for cutting paths and chopping small trees. imgadgetman
