Tasks:
1. Chopping medium to larger sized limbs and firewood
Killa zilla
2. Batoning wood/logs
Tough choice here - many excel at it. The knives that performed best at batoning were also the ones that ate up my batons fastest. Probably either the Regulator or M9LE - one for the length and the other for the thickness. Both tear up batons, though.
3. Making fuzz sticks and small stuff for fire starting
The vex is best for fuzz sticks, as it's thin and I've kept it hair popping sharp. The S5 or Muk would be better for batoning down to matchstick sized kindling.
4. Cleaning fish
bird dog le easily
5. Cleaning small game
bird dog le here too
6. Cleaning/dressing out a hog/deer or large game
scrapper 5 probably - the last time I was around for a deer cleaning I was about 15 and it was done with a buck 110, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details...
7. General camp all-purpose camp dutites
NMSFNO - big enough to chop and baton well but still somewhat reasonable to carry. Also super comfortable for extended use with the hand-shaped micarta handles, yet more durable than res-c.
8. Hiking companion blade
S5 here too - big enough to beat on but small enough to carry. I don't usually build fires when I hike, though - if I were expecting to do so, I'd carry something bigger.
9. Food prep - veges and meat for cooking
Muk. I LOVE that knife in the kitchen.
10. Brush clearing
M9LE hands down. Light and fast in the hands - nuff said. If I get myhands on a SAR8 or Bushwhacker, this might change.
11. BFE survival (woods/swamp/jungle/etc.) - All tasks
Probably the NMSFNO - for the same reason as I'd choose it for camp duties.
12. Urban SHTF survival - All tasks
Regulator. I'm not someone who plans on doing much stabbing of people, but I imagine the regulator would do it quite well, and it's got the beefiness needed to bust open car doors or break into buildings to gather supplies.


BONUS:
13. Zombie survival.
Waki. Duh.



You'll notice that a few favorites dominate the list - I have a few other Bussekin blades that I dig, but not enough to edge out the others. The SOD and DDF, for example, could perform well in many of these tasks, but they are mostly edged out by the INFI knives. Now if you're talking price to performance, well then the Yard offerings win every category. I could carry a different knife from the yard for every single task on that list for the price of one killa zilla.
