TomSwango,<br><br>Who does not love giving knife advice?<br><br>Personally, I would not spend the money on a titanium bladed knife for use in my camping/emergency kit. These knives are speciality items specifically designed for Underwater Demolition work where a magnetic blade could cause the user harm. <br><br>I have not seen or used either of these type blades (making this advice even more valuable ), but my opinion is that a traditional steel blade would better suit an outdoor kit. You would be paying a high price for a highly specialized tool that would not be necessary in a kit. The lighter weight over a steel blade may be an advantage.....but I would not go down this path.<br><br>I would point you to bladeforums.com for more information about Mission knives, but their search engine is currently disabled to basic users due to server overload. However, you could post a question there specific to these knives.<br><br>My current favorite outdoor kit knives are a Becker CU7 and a Chris Reeve Shadow III. The Becker is big, inexpensive and well done for $50. The Reeve is small, tough, and expensive, with a small integral (strong) hollow handle perfectly suited for a fire making kit.
