Here is a retro survival knife, a blast from the past. Mountain men and trappers carried knives like this from 1700s into the 1900s. It is the original "Camp Knife" design. And it still works.

Bark River's version is a joy to use. That wide convex ground blade is a superb chopper and splitter, right up there with the Ratweiler. This knife can chop, split kindling, skin, slice, and even do some more delicate notching and bushcraft. It has enought point for sticking and defense. It is superbly balanced. Its A2 steel is plenty tough for these tasks. This is the original prototype of all the camp type knives that followed, and it is a serious survival knife. BRKT got this one right and it is a great all-around knife.
