    Default Big knives

    I carry a Becker Companion.

    http://www.tomarskabars.com/BK-2_INFO.html

    Massive, inexpensive and high quality steel. I have a Becker Brute too, and have used both in the backcountry. The brute has a wider back near the rear edge to use for batoning the blade. I'm starting to appreciate the kukri design more and more though. the sheath leaves something to be desired, so I wrapped it in paracord for durability. Hell, I wrap EVERYTHING in paracord.

    I just bought a Stryker and it's 5/16 inch steel, just massive.

    I steer towards heavier knives mostly because I've broken the thinner ones while misusing them. I just dont want some casual misuse to damage my only tool. The Becker Companion I bought for 47 bucks from tomarskabars.com it's a bit more expensive now, but it's a no-frills kinda knife. No fancy finish, no fancy scales (although you can buy some) and a kydex sheath. I'm just a heavy knife guy nowadays. ESEE and the like are good knives, but they are pricey for my tastes.

    Default Survival Knife

    Just curious to know what everybody thinks is the best survival knife? I use a Gurka Knife, KaBar and a SOG Seal Pup. They have all served well over the years.

    What do you use? Pic's would be nice.

    I love my Seal pup, fantastic knife.

    That's the one I take hiking/hunting/fishing. If I found myself in a survival situation it would be my go-to blade.

    Well I'm sure Staglefty will be here shortly to show me up (lol), but I will post mine anyway.



    Both knives in the pic are fairly new to me, the smaller one (IZULA) is my daily carry, and the larger one (ESEE4), is my camping/backpacking/survival knife. I have yet to use either of them very hard, but the quality alone leaves me confident, that once I need them, they will be phenomenal. I've also used the Seal Pup Elite in the past, and it's also a great knife.

    If I was the kind of person that thought the government couldnt provide all I need I would say a Cold Steel SRK. But Obama will take care of me so I dont need one

    I have a seal pup. I love it. I had an awesome leather sheath made by the guy Rocky Mountain Tanners (Formerly Jerry's Leather). Excellent job. I will post pics later.

    I think knives are just like our guns,we'll all have personal favorites. I have Kbar's,Spyderco's,Gerber's, etc. All good knives. I've recently became a huge ESEE fan. Made in the USA,no BS warranty,fair prices,great edge, and easy to sharpen.

    I see people like the seal pup, but it's made in Taiwan, and that's a turn off for me. Is it that good?
