I asked, because a Southeast Asia scenario most likely would see a native parang in use, a tramontina cutting vegetation in Brasil to reach yesterday's sad air disaster and a swedish airforce pilot ejecting from his SAAB with a Fallkiven. Your in the classic, resource rich arboreal forest so you must decide if your going to do woodcraft like Mors Kochanski who favours the Mora, but carries an axe and could build a trapper's line cabin,or rely on your knife alone to do minimal energy expended survival. Moras are fantastic knives, great training knives and backups. But if your planning on one knife that may have to see some abuse a more robust blade is a wise precautionary acquisiton. It need not be the 'sharpened prybar' like my infamous MK4 Adams from the U.K. Read Doug's article, tell us what you have now and watch the posts build up faster than the old Green River Buffalo skinners . <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
