Cool thread.

In a survival situation a saw really tops my list of important tools to have. An Awl could come in handy too and maybe a file.

You can probably see where I am going with this and yes I know you was asking about a knife.

Think about a Surge with a S30V blade, extra saws and files for the exchanger thingy, scissors and awl. Not to mention drivers which can be a lifesaver in modern day survival situations.

Plus it is something you can use day to day and would be on you when the baloon actually goes up.

I was thinking about this topic more when Boker came to mind. I looked at the Boker BOB and the Boker Vox Rold Scout. These knives both look interesting however never owning a Boker I cannot comment much more.

Boring specs, but bloody good knives imo

I had a play with one at one of the Brit meets. I liked it, but not enough to want one as again its quite expensive over here for what it is

Not a survival knife per say but a great all around outdoor knife. Harder to find these days, the Marbles Woodcraft is an excellent knife with excellent steel. This Gladstone era one has the famous 52-100 (@ 60-62 HRC) ball bearing steel blade used when Mike Stewart (Bark River Knives) was there.

This knife was a gift from my daughter and lives in the SAK bag so it goes with me out the door in a fire...it's one I do not want to lose.

A knife less than 4 inches. Then having the Pen knife for that purpose would be a great option which you be carried for everyday outdoors.

Thank you Mike! It's a real slicer and tough too...the spine is 1/4" thick!!!

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #114 on:** May 18, 2015, 07:15:08 PM

With a spine like that I'd say it qualifies!

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #115 on:** May 20, 2015, 10:19:55 AM

Another one to add to the list the Tops Ute. Compact with a lovely thick spine

styx · **Reply #116 on:** May 20, 2015, 03:17:32 PM

I have a feeling you like thick spines

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #117 on:** May 20, 2015, 05:12:01 PM

In this sort of tool, yes

If it's for carving or bushcraft then I prefer a thinner blade

raistlin65 · **Reply #118 on:** May 21, 2015, 11:57:19 PM

Darn you, Mike. All this talk about heavy duty 4" survival knives got me thinking about small 3" ones. Ordered the Boker Plus Krein PSK today. 3/16" thick blade in a small knife.

The biggest mistake one can make if wants to AVOID buying any more knives for one's collection is to hang out on knife forum threads

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #119 on:** May 22, 2015, 12:00:59 AM

That does look cool and in one of the best real world stainless steels too

Let us know what you think of it please mate
