Nice combos Vic!!!! I'll take number 6,7 and 8 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. The Rat/combo would be a great way to go with a light machete.

I have many options. All of them include the OHT, which is a great knife. The saw even works. The sun is low, so this is the best pic I can get of my YG for Unsub. I lost my platen, so I can't sand the ricasso. There isn't a flat grind left on it, giving it that classic 3rd World Grind Shop look. But it sure cuts better. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Combo023.jpg)

Its a great knife - for sure. Locking blade (serrations at the front and plain edge near the back - very cool), locking bottle opener/screwdriver, saw works very well (and a little more substantial than the other SAK saws), tweezers could surely come in handy when you're "away from civilization", phillips driver, punch - lots of good stuff. I'll give it two thumbs up as well - and seeing Vic adding it to his mix further supports my high opinion of it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Vic, I like the S6 and SAK combo.. My 'Rucksack' is basically the same as your OHT but without the 'spyderco' thumb hole in the blade and with a red not black body. I'd add a Gerber Legend to them though myself.. Then you really can do most of everything.

This was my old, reliable combo. It weighed 19 oz total. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Combo002.jpg) But some of thick areas required a little machete work to get through, so I got a bigger knife. This CS MTC Kukri served me well, along with my trusty Bucklite and SAK Recruit. This combo weighed 23 oz. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Combo001.jpg) But a guy traded me out of that Kukri (I have it back now), so I got this 12" machete, now up to 24 oz total. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Combo003.jpg) The machete was replaced with this Ontario Survival Bowie. Now up to 26 oz. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Combo004.jpg) But could carry this lightweight 18" Tramontina, my SS4, and an SAK and still travel light and cut anything in my path. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Combo005.jpg) Or this combo might work. I already know the Ratweiler can slash through undergrowth like a machete. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Combo006.jpg) Here is a tough light combo that can do anything. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Combo007.jpg) This one is a little heavier, but not too much to carry. Think I might go with this one or the Ratwieler. Got to upgrade, you know. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Combo008.jpg) I like your combos, very good ideas!

Vic, I would take the 18" Tramontina, SS4, and an SAK. Then my swamp combo is a Machette, SEAL Pup, and a SAK Explorer model.
