"Like others, I have a number of knives, folders and fixed blades. I bought the larger (10") blades with the PNW cascade range in mind. While their main attribute is size, they stay in the truck because of that size. They are much more capable in some tasks, but if you won't keep them hanging from your belt while hiking, they are at best a camp knife and not a survival knife."

agree 100% with this opinion.

Like others ... I own WAY too much of this sharp steel.
I own enough knife hardware that I could have loaned it all to the legendary Jeremiah Johnson and he would have taken over the entire Rocky Mountains :-)

I am more impressed with folks like Bear Grylls who can take a simple small knife ... and use it for a wide variety of survival skills and practical tasks.
