Define the characteristics of a survival knife?
Not being my usual pain in the ass self, curious what ya'll feel needs to be part of a knife to be considered a survival knife?

Isn't it traditionally a sawback and a hollow handle filled with magic stuff?

I've always felt any knife is a survival knife if you've got survival skills. If you don't, no hollow handle will let you thrive in the woods, and 3 inches of sawteeth aren't going to be felling any trees.

So, for me? A Model 5 and a hatchet are what I bring to the woods, so I guess I'd be in favor of a set like that.

A Model 5 design and a hatchet would be the ultimate setup for almost any situation.

A. We can't go wrong...
B. I vote for a everyday "tricked out" pocket knife... Artifact ivory and hammer- marked blade...

Tom,
It was your chute blade that got me hooked on them. We could do lots of different variations and tweeks on that blade.
