I have a Kershaw BT. This is 3 knives in one. It comes in a nice black cordura sheath. It has a saw blade a fish fillet and a hunting blade. The blades are removable(only use one at a time)and 6 inches long. Perfect size for most any use. Very user friendly and easy to change out the blades, quick as well.

One blade for me is fine... a bayonet.........................................................connected to a fully locked & loaded AR15... LOL

for all around camping and hunting needs i carry a crkt razell ss7 its a big honkin blade that is razor sharp on top on bottom and on chisel point top edge is serated for cutting rope fulltang construction window breaker and most importantly a church key in handle base. very heavy a glancing blow will leave a very deep cut. i also carry a crkt m16 i got from walmart for 20 bucks i use it to strike me fire starter

Take two knives. One big Swiss Army knife with all of the extras and one divers knife with the cutting edge on the back of the mirrored chrome blade with matches inside and an compass on top. The mirrored blade can be used to attract attention in case you have been hurt and need help in case you can't light a fire to get help.

I admittedly do not know much about blades, but when considering price to performance ratio, I've been happy with my purchase of a Kershaw Roughneck. Reasons:

- Blade had nice little area on top of the blade for sawing
- Sturdy frame for the blade
- Great grip and texture
- Nice sheath (often where people cut cost)
- Comes with a good edge on the blade out of the box
- Is in the 35-50 dollar price range

For me, I'd rather an item that wasn't cheap to the point where I'd doubt placing confidence in it under reasonable usage situations. On the other hand, I'd also rather an item wasn't expensive to the point where it influences my decision on what and under which likelihood to use it. That is personal preference though.

I've got a full sized (7") straight edge KA-BAR with a nice non-slip rubber handle.

Would I say it's the "best"? Probably not... but it's up there and it's definately a quality knife. Sharp and precise enough to shave with, but heavy duty enough that I've used it to heft trees and split large logs for fires.

i have a machete, a few knives cut down from henkels
that i got from the thrift store.
what more you need?
make some from a file.

The snook is the best guerrilla survival knife hand down.
