I just bought this issue of tactical knives which is my fave of the rags. One big advantage to a Mutt sized knife is it is not a pain when getting in and out of vehicles. Even that extra inch of an S6 is always in the way and uncomfortable.
For a survival situation I want something tough and I am OK with giving up some edge retention to get it.
