How would you rate the following knives as part as a PSK for the outdoors: Benchmade10510 Gamer Fixed Blade & Benchmade10400 Pica folding.
I have found those two very good priced in the internet and I will have the chance to attend to a show this weekend, so I will like to make my mind.
Thanks + Regards

I have only owned the Gamer and based on my experience with it I would say it is a very capable knife for your purposes. Also, youre right, the price on the Gamer is great. It's worth every penny of what most reasonable dealers ask for it. I have never handled the other knife but there is no question in my mind that if given the choice between a folder and a fixed blade in an outdoors survival situation, I'm going for the fixed blade 99.99999999999% of the time.

I hope you'll get a chance to handle each before you make the purchase. While the Gamer is a great value, I find the handle too thin to be comfortable for extended hard use. The Nimravus models suit me better for this.
