Just curious. What is your primary wilderness survival knife? what would your dream Survival knife be? My primary is a Bowie i made, with a commercial surval knife as back up in case of loss or breakage. What sheathware do you use or prefer? Thanks for your responses and thoughts.

My primary survival knife is the one I ALWAYS have on me. Wilderness, urban, day, or night.

In my case, that is a Byrd Robin these days. In the past it was a Spyderco Native, but I've grown to like the less expensive Byrd Robin even better for day-to-day carry.

When I go out into the winderness I usually suppliment my primary survival knife (not replace it, supplement it) with something a little bigger. That may be a Mora Clipper or a Cold Steel SRK. Whichever I feel like lugging around at the time. The SRK is pretty heavy, so mostly it says at home while the Clipper gets to go. I bought the SRK only because it was on sale, a factory second, a long time ago ... $29. Couldn't resist at that price, even if it was a Cold Steel (a fairly low-end knife), but honestly it doesn't get much use.

I don't have a dream survival knife, because I think the ones I already have (although inexpensive) will do everything I could ever need.

My EDC is a Kershaw Ken Onion Tanto folder, never put my pants on without it. My SHTF knife would be my Cold Steel older model Recon Tanto (tough as nails and I got it used but for free). I keep it in the SHTF bag, which is always either in my Jeep or the house.

SAK - the one knife I am sure to have on me and reliable edc. You can get a lotdone with a SAK

Spyderco Atlantic Salt- bright yellow. I have it on my person 99% of the time. It is the knife that I will have with me if something happens- my dream knife would probably be an Al Mar SERE variation, or a Chris Reeve fixed blade.
If I go to a formal function, I scale down to a Spyderco Dragonfly, a small Leatherman, or an AG Russell gentlemans knife.

Some variety of Leatherman Tool, currently the Blast or Wave, along with an SAK Classic. Actually the Classic gets the job done most of the time. I sometimes throw in an CRTK Stiff Kiss, but that is rare....

Current: Mora 840 / 860 (carbon v.s. stainless)

Dream: Fällkniven F1

All my kits have a knife. (Buck, Rukko, CRKT, SAK, Gerber) Every kit has a folder, most have a multi-tool, and there's a fixed blade for my longer term kits, but I always have my Leatherman Wave on my belt. I also have an SAK on my keychain, which is almost always with me as well.

my EDC is a Benchmade Elishewitz Aeries Axis lock, and for more formal occasions a Reeve Sebenza

my GHB has a cut down 12" Collins SA (Guatemala) machete, and old Cold Steel SRK with carbon V blade, Victorinox Farmer

most of my outdoor recreation time is on the water, so typically have a Randall 5" #10, but lately have been carrying a Grohman #4

gave my Reeve Yarborough to a friend's son when he was deployed to Afghanistan

My Camillus Heat is always in my pocket.
SOG Paratool on belt pretty much always.
On any outdoor hike/hunt/walk/adventure of any distance I have a Mora Bushcraft Triflex on my belt.
On a real backpack/longer dayhike, i add a gerber sportaxe.
