I've just received my RSK Mk3 fixed blade and a MINI RSK Mk1 folder - holiday presents from my very understanding wife. I am thrilled with the workmanship, fit and utility.

The folder is very nice and will be my EDC, replacing a dinky SAK keychain. I am impressed by the look and smooth action right out of the box.

The Mk3 is going in my survival carry kit which I carry in my day pack or regular backpack depending on the hike. The sheath has more attachment options than I can understand! Does anyone know what all the attachment options are for, or is there a link to an explanation?

As well, we ordered the five pack of the Pocket Survival Pak, for my and my wife's and son's cars (and any hikes), plus one for my survival carry kit.

Just before the holidays, I got the Prepared To Survive DVD from my library. I highly recommend it. It reinforced much of what I knew, and introduced some new learnings. The DVD convinced me to examine my knife selection and lead me to get a better EDC and a good fixed blade for potential survival situations.

The take home message from the DVD for me was "a knife and a survival kit is only good if you have it with you". No brainer advice, but guess what - I wasn't following it. A good EDC and an easily carry-able survival kit just makes sense.
