Okay Dogs, while we all await the new SY offering, I thought it would be fun to discuss survival knives but there is a twist to this question...

Please list your 2 favorite survival knives - one MUST be a Bussekin blade and the other can be whatever else (including another Bussekin or something different). You don't have to tell us which one you prefer but please comment on why you picked each one. I will post mine in the thread shortly. Thanks and have some fun with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Survival knife #1 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />F,DFLE, B11. (Only one at a time)
Likes : Chops like crazy, great steel, holds a great edge, and has a comfortable handle, not to mention an AWESOME warranty.

Survival knife #2 : Victorinox Swiss Tool
Likes : Many different blades including bits, saws, and other little things to make life easier.

I cheat though, I carry this combo together

Well, since there is so much interest I'll go ahead and add mine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Survival knife #1 : Scrap Yard Scrapper 6
Likes : Res-C handle, good size for just about anything. Tough.

Survival knife #2 : Falkniven A-1 (Want an A-2 soon)
Likes : Kraton handle, laminated stainless steel. Tough. good size also.

It is a tough decision but of the knives I own I believe those 2 are my choices.

1. Camp Tramp- great all rounder or my Battle Rat because it's so awesome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and I have that sweet new sheath for it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
2. SAK Trekker for multipurpose or my Koyote EDC cause it's a great small blade, do a lot, easy to carry, great ergos and plenty tough

#1. Dogfather LE
#2. Blindhorse Knives Bushcrafter

OK,#1-B11 cus one has to be a chopper & whats not to like about the B11?
It's lighter than the DF(my 2nd choise for a chopper)so easier to carry for an extended time.
Res c handles,nuf said.
#2 Vic.Hercules.It has everything else tool wise that you'd need.
(maybe not everything,but darn close & the vic's are much lighter than an all steel MT.)
In a survival situation I want to save as much weight as possible for food,water & ammo.

#1. DFCG (Because I don't have a B11 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />)
Legendary Choppers, both. Nothing else needs to be said.

#2. MUPPY FANTASTIC smaller do it all blade with a handle you can get your whole hand around. Will work as a much larger blade because of the shape and thickness.

I would also have a leatherman and an EZ-lap model M diamond sharpener. (along with a fire kit, first aid kit, SS water bottles/SS cup....Etc.

B11
Leatherman Wave


Show me the new steel!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

1- B11 - What else to say about this one? So light and versitile for it's size.

2- Scrapper 5 - This one could change, but in a survival sutuation I find the S5 a good choice because it is so lightweight and great at smaller tasks

1: Swamp Rat Rat Mastiff

2: Busse NARK

Those two should take care of anything I need.

Hmmm, I may have to add the B11 to my list of Bussekin knives to try and pick up...Maybe I'll have better luck than I am having getting a Weiner Dog or the NMSFNO. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

K/S -- all three knives are worth the search! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
