Survival Knife

Bear, that is exactly what I was thinking about. Stag, I love that knife set up of yours. I need to copy it. Can you get all the components at the same place? What is in that pouch next to the fire stick? Compass?

ESEE Junglas knife (outstanding sheath system)-ESEE firekit(button compass inside cap & cb/jelly packed inside with going gear striker attached)-pouch has altoid tin with fishing gear, band aids,and a few meds-Gerber camp saw ranger banded on sheath. I loved buying my gear before job loss !!

As soon as I get the green light, I'll post an awesome video my friend made for the ESEE competition.

I know of many folks that have zero use for a partial serated blade, and I see where most of them are coming from. Myself however, I really like having the partial seration. There have been times when cutting rope, that I have attempted to cut the rope with the non serated edge, and it literally took a sawing motion several times (probably 5 or more), whereas the same rope with the serated blade, l was able to make one good cut, and was half way through the rope, and another cut and I was all the way through. If there is a possibilty you will be using heavy rope (rock climbing, rappelling etc.), I highly encourage a serated edge.

Here's my answer to that-a Spyderco Dyad:

That big hole in combination with those serrations makes it look like a Cayman.

Here's my answer to that-a Spyderco Dyad:

That's a pretty good answer. My "survival" knife is a Sog Seal pup elite, and although not a very large blade, it has plenty of straight edge for my needs. I haven't owned too many knives that don't have some seration to them. Guess it's just a personal preference thing for most of us.

Absolutely-no right or wrong

Okay ESEE and R.A.T. fans, check out this video my friend from another forum submitted for the ESEE Major Survival Contest. The idea is to demonstrate as many survival skills as possible using ESEE knives. Here is the video, and here is his official submission with some more explanation. I'm pretty impressed by the quality of the video.
