As far as INFI goes, IMHO, nothing in the world beats the size / weight combination of the Terror Monkey Desert Storm Fighter.
8" of INFI blade with a weight of 14.5 ounces.
It is the only knife I own two of.

Great choices guys. Of those that have chosen a multi-tool for one of their survival pack knives (or even if you haven't but have an opinion), which do you prefer and why? Leathermen or Gerber? Gerber hands down for me. I have used both but prefer the quick opening of the gerber. Plus the replaceable saber saw blade set up it is he'd to beat or me. I had my first one for ten years, it didn't have the r.saw feature. They are very durable and reliable.

Survival Knife #1 = DFCG Like = Bombproof shelter builder, firewood baton, etc.
Survival Knife #2 = Swamp Rat RMD Like = Does everything the DF doesn't.
If I were going to have one survival knife it would be a Swamp Rat Chopweiler.
I believe in a "trifecta" though....
Small Fixed Blade = Scrapivore or Rodent Solution (preferred) Medium Fixed Blade = RMD (preferred)or S5CG Large Fixed Blade = DF (preferred in trifecta) or SOD or Chopweiler

Victorinox...Swiss Spirit !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> IMO a step up in quality from both Leatherman and Gerber ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Survival Knife #1 = DFLE Like = Effective zombie slayer.
Survival Knife #2 = Swamp Rat RMD Like = Just feels good in the hand (much like the S6).

The Leatherman Surge is my first choice, I really like the interchangeable saw blade feature, as well as the size, and one hand opening blades! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> The Charge and Wave are my second choices, followed by the Victorinox multitools.

IMHO I prefer leathermen. Gerbers always pinch my hands. My Surge is heavy but when Im in the middle of the desert I love all the options plus it uses a t type replaceable saw/diamond file combo. That I supplement with normal t type recipricating saw blades from any hardware store. In fact I try to use these instead of my blade because they are cheap and tailorable to the job. The sheath has a sleave for a couple of extra blades. The only gripe I have is the the swapable srewdriver bit in it sucks. Of course all of this is my opinion and I don't mind carrying a super heavy multitool.

Survival knife #1 : S5 LE Likes : INFI! Good size to batton, tough enough because it is INFI, easy to resharpen in the field. Can be choked up nicely for fine work as well. Survival knife #2 : Hmm tough prob my SoDF Likes : It is just [censored] tough and feels like it can smash through anything.
I'd prob also pair those choices with an environment focused tool. For winter/fall in forested areas a Gransfors bruks axe. In swampy areas a Busse Kukri would be amazing!
