If, God forbid, you were ever separated from your family and in a survival situation where you were having to fight to get home, which would you want by your side? A $500 wonder-knife, or one given to you by your family that is perfectly serviceable for the job it needs to do? The mental battle is the toughest part of survival, so I've heard, and that knife would probably be your ace card in keeping up the will to get back home.
