None of my knives are “survival” knives and not one of them will ever be in a Rambo movie! But I can assure you that mine are more useful not only day in and day out but in a survival situation as well than any of the “survival” knives you normally see. Mine are not stirring sticks, pry bars, hammers or shovels but I can tell you that getting a little gasoline or other “normal” chemical that I would get on me is not going to make them fall apart.
