Adam,
Thanks for the link, I have already studied the information well. I have just purchased my first fixed blade knife, but it will never see EDC, so my PSK blade will be crucial. I think it may be the perfect survival knife! It's the Ontario SP-25 Spec Plus USN-2, an updated version of the AF survival knife. PIC

Ok, maybe not the "perfect" survival knife, with multi-pocket sheath, and a blade that will clear out jungle undergrowth, but I'm pleased! I see in the Shot Show report they have a newer, improved line than the Spec Plus, but they dont include a lanyard hole. I only like this knife better than the original AF knife in that the sheath is ballistic cloth instead of leather, which I understand will rust a carbon steel blade if neglected (been there). I really like the Kraton rubber handle as well.
