Howdy fellow Texan! You'll find a lot of us Lone Stars here on Equipped.com.

As for my favorite survival knife:
1. Camping: Mora + mini-kukhri
2. Hiking/canoeing: Mora + leatherman Wave
3. At work: Leatherman Kick + Traveller Swiss Army Knife (SAK)
4. General out and about: Leatherman Wave + Camper SAK
5. Texas Renaissance Festival: Himilayan Imports 12" kukhri + mini-kukhri + Tibetian dagger + Chinese "Scavenger" knife + Spanish Navaja knife + whatever other shiney-pointy DW will let me buy. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The Kukhris are sharpened on a leather-wrapped dowel covered in emory cloth. Lansky sharpening system takes care of the rest.
