ONE knife.....

[IndyGunworks]

for SHTF. you can only have ONE blade of ANY sorts. which would you choose and why?

at the moment i would probably choose my trusty k-bar.

It's the perfect size to do just about anything and everything. Heavy enough to chop through some thick stuff but thin enough you could use it with food too if you needed. And it's pretty incredible steel that'll take a beating and just smile back

A quality kuhkri is the first thing to pop into my head. Of course I don't own one...yet.

One of those knives with a compass, fishing hook and line, matches, and maybe a needle in the handle!

Since I'm a blacksmith, I'd choose the knife that had the most retail for retooling; so either a solidly constructed Kukri or a Cold Steel 1050 machete.

It's just versatile. I can chop wood, make shelter and in a pinch use it for self defense. It's tough as hell and I'm confident I could gut large and medium game with it. Prolly have to practice small game but I'm sure it could be done.

Interested to see where this goes, I am in the market for 'the' utility knife.

 

[Double T]

One blade? No way!

I would have a utility blade, a 6" or so hacking blade, and a hatchet/hawk in the least. In all honesty, I would probably have a scalpel in my pack, as well as skinning knives, as good clean cut pelts may make good bartering items in the winter.

You request is like dividing by zero, not possible with "real" numbers.

 

[96firephoenix]

Do Machetes count?

 

[combat45acp]

Spyderco Military for sure, I have carried it for 12, 13 years or so...would feel naked without it.

Busse SHBM. It was on my LBV for years all over the world and it worked then so it should work in the future.

One blade.... YES WAY..... thats why its a hypothetical game. so hypothetically you can only have one knife for the rest of your life into the apocolyps which is it?

 

[jeremy]

For just one knife I would prefer a 4 inch blade, can be used for several tasks and is still a decent fighter. Most persons think that a Survival knife needs to be big and heavy, I used to think that. Till I started to use a knife to survive...

My RC-4...

I would have agreed, until I tried to re-sharpen on my own... pain in the arse


so, I chose my Leatherman

 

[Zoub]

Since I can have saws, axes and garden tools, which include my hori hori knives I will go with my Gerber 525. Thick spine, drop point, great choil so I can choke up for detail work, shiny enough to use as a survival mirror. In SHTF shiny stuff will be hard to come by so I want shiny too. This is old school, early 1980's Gerber, not today's Gerber.

Any knife with this general design in 4" to 6" is great.

It's Good **** man

I keep mine Sharp pretty easily with an occasional Stropping, when that fails I take it across my Lansky Sticks...

I got your Lansky stick right here bud.
