Hi all,

First post here.

I apologize if this has been covered before and I did do a search but the results were scattered. So here is the question I pose.
What type of survival do you have for your kit/bob bag.
My personal belief is not one can do all. I have a small lockblade for the small chores ie. skinning game, repairs of equipment, but I'm looking to upgrade the 7 inch Kabar to something in the 10 inch range and at least a 1/4 inch wide at the back strap. I also believe that the 300 dollar knife is the best way to go either, some were in the 50 to 150 price range.
I've looked at the Ontario Spec Plus Survival Bowie and the Cold Steel Trailmaster Bowie in black.
The knife chosen would be part of the BOB I carry and what will come along during hiking/camping/training exercises. It will be a work horse as a machete/camp ax cannot always be taken.

What are your thoughts? What do you have experience with?
