This should give you all a laugh. It's long gone now but the very first "survival" knife I bought was in the early 1980's & was the Marco Polo None of your hollow handle Rambo rubbish for me!
If it's hanging out in the woods, living off the land, I might opt for one of these and a good hatchet. A couple of Vics wouldn't hurt either.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)If I had only one to do everything...wood processing, shelter building, hunting, protecting myself, it might be this big camp knife.Blackjack Warner Moran Rio Grand Camp(Image removed from quote.)

I keep this one in my Jeep for emergencies paid less then $12 for it back in the 90's. I have to admit that bang for the buck it's hard to beat a CS Bushman. This isn't my best Knife but it takes a beating and comes back for more. Definitely got my money's worth out of it.

Spears you say I have a couple of those rusty Bushman waiting for a diet Coke bath and a couple of hoe handles bought (you use hoe handles because they have greater lateral strength than a shovel handles for swing cuts, or so I'm told).
