Don't get one with protruding rivets in the handle..they hurt..a lot..
'IF' I had already bought one.. I would have made sure it was something like this..

Sorry to say the Yankie Seals Beat the S.A.S in this department ..yaboooo...
It has a finer tip for filleting/skinning,decent balanced weight for chopping.. and staggered serrations for carving your woggle or whatever..

Got to disagree on your choice of knife for a few reasons. Firstly the handle has those nobbly fits.
Also if you hold the knife a different way, say to draw towards you on something (and yes somtimes that is necessary) then they get in the way.
The serrations are pointless,
There is water on tap, cooking facilities and a compost toilet, but no warm water showers, no electricity and no flush toilet.
You will also need to be self-catering in food. Cooking facilities are available and there is usually salad stuff and fruit available from the land. I also provide basic foodstuffs such as oats, rice, lentils etc. However, if you want anything fancy, you may need to bring it yourself.

VERY valid points .
Choosing a knife is like choosing your underpants..very personal.
The finger grooves are VERY slight.
No where near enough to be a burden and when drawing toward you the pressure is against the inside of your fingers anyway.You don't feel them against the heel of your thumb.
I find the serrations useful.
When you have delicate work,it's much safer using the point of a serration than the point of the knife as it IS a large blade.
( nice pun on 'pointless' too..they are blummin sharp. )

You can do less damage to yourself with the serration if your hand slips.They dig in the skin and grip it.. I've had slips along the full length of a flat blade before..
Then you get to use your survival medical kit.. hehe

Ok, we have a tent, but its like an 8-10 man tent,..
and how do you get a clue when you just dont have the time to spend weeks practicing?........
I think the only plan we would have is to just pack up the car and find somewhere remote.....
AGENT-T.......absolutely great thread, and please post some pics of you in action!!!
