I live off grid in Denali Alaska. When I go into the bush, I carry in my ruck or my quad a Mora, a Cold Steel O1 Tailmaster, A Cold steel Kukri, and a Leatherman Surge. If Im riding my Quad, which I often am, because im old.. ,i carry a council axe and a bow saw. Up here, i use what's proven itself to me.. OH I also never leave home without my 4 max scout folder. Its beyond heavy duty..

The main difference between a hoarder and a prepper is that a pepper has a use for everything

1). Kitted out Victorinox Huntsman 2). Leatherman Signal 3). Buck 119 4). Kershaw Camp 10 And a bag full of Cold Steels!

1- Cold steel trail master in san mai 3 2- tom brown tracker 3- cold steel drop forged boot knife (element of surprise if i am ever in a bind) 4- any Mora. You're right, moras do finess well

1) Gerber multi tool (let's be practical here!) 2) My old (tough and still sharp) hardware store hatchet 3) OKC SP-6 8" fighter 4) CS Voyager XL

1) Leatherman Surge with bit kit (finer tasks, repairs, scavenging) 2) Gerber Strongarm (fighting and bushcraft) 3) Gransfors Bruks Scandinavian forest axe (wood processing and shelter building) 4) Silky Gomboy 270 (wood processing and shelter building) That is my list, but it includes an axe and a saw, since I would rather have those 2 things than another blades. 🙂

My first blade 1) LT Wright gen 5 ( delicate carving) 2) cold steel leatherneck (security) 3) esee 6 (chopping, batoning) 4) kabar becker bk9 for my big blade. It's hard to make this list because i have so many blades, and i could make this list 20 different ways. This will have to do for now. Good video.

As some one who has over 100 knives, plus a collection of Tomahawks and Axes, swords and machete's. Trying to pick just four. Not easy. But let me start by saying, I do not drive, and I need some special gear to help me through the day. So I have a EDC bag that goes with me every time I lever the house. In that bag I have a Swiss Army Deluxe Tinker knife, a old time Gerber Multi Pliers, with full size jaws and one hand open-able, and the newest addition to the bag a Cold Steel Voyager Drop Point folding knife, with four inch blade. These are always with me. So I will not could them. As for the four. 1. Mora Heavy Duty Companion. Great Blade. 2. Condor Tool and knife, Hudson Bay knife, the big one. 3. Buck 119 Special 4. Condor Tool and knife, Golok Machete. For wood processing and self defense. And of course my Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener. Got to keep them blades sharp. Now of course I will be a wise guy and add my Nordland type C viking axe, haa a great blade and a hammer poll. And my Stanley Folding Pocket saw, with a selection of blades. So there you go. I think I would also have a firearm with me. But that's a story for another day :)

My Council tool axe, Woodsman Pal which is so versatile, My Hardcore Hammer hatchet, and my Dawson Marauder.

I would take my Sealpup Elite and my Essee Tactical 4 like you also and my Coldsteel Machete .

1. Swiss Army RANGER 57 M GRIP: for fine work, game processing, and tools for scavenging. 2. Leatherman Wave with bit kit: for repairs and scavenging of items I find. 3. Cold Steel Tai Pan: for my defensive blade, I like the 13” dagger with wide enough bellies that it also slashes well 4. Gerber Strong Arm: for heavy-ish duty bushcraft and general knife tasks. As a fellow knife nut, this was a hard choice. I would have liked to have a small hatchet or kukuri. However, in a real SHTF situation, having tools that can do repairs, open cans, have awls, and more just seems to me to be a higher priority.

Dam this is a tough 1 if were leaving out folders & multi tools & swords 1) TOP's Prather War Bowie 2) SOG Northwest Ranger 3) Off Grid Sierra 4) CS special projects Kukri

A Silky Saw and a good general purpose axe. A sturdy belt knife and a good multi-tool.

1. Mora companion HD. Orange 2. USMC fighting knife. 3. I have a tool/knife for all my heavy work. 4. I have a zombie knife. 5. For backup a camp axe.

#1 estwing axe #2 TOPS wild pig hunter #3 BUCK 124 #4 LEATHERMAN 300

Start it off with my Leatherman Wave+ and my White River Ursus 45 in 3V, the two knives I EDC anyways. Finish it with the pair of CRKT blades on my A-to-B Bag and plate carrier, a Kangee T-hawk and a Sangrador, respectively. The Leatherman has small blades for finer tasks, a small saw to effeciently harvest small tinder, and a small file. It really comes in handy for all sorts of basic everyday menial cutting chores. The Ursus 45 in 3V is an ergonomic and indestructible utility knife that could serve for defense, or about anything else, from harvesting game to shelter construction. I could use it as an e-tool or pry bar if I had to. In the forested Rocky Mountains, a small axe or tomahawk is an indispensable piece of kit. The Kangee has done a lot of stuff for me; wood processing, breaching, harvesting game. When you've seen how easily it effortlessly takes apart a deer, you understand the terrifying implications with regard to its use as a weapon...truly devastating. Then the Sangrador, a small double-edged dagger is what I feel is the ultimate fighting knife. It is sharp all over, lightening fast and responsive. Apltly named, sangrador translates from Latin for bleeder. I think these four covers all the bases with some overlap, and my drawer allows me to outfit my friends and family as well. It would be hard to leave some, like my Tops Longhorn Bowie and HOG 4.5 behind, but knowing my wife and kids have good cutting tools on them means I don't really have to.

Kukri and a mora ! All is taken care of

Kershaw Camp 10, Glock Field Knife, Mora Companion, Swiss Army Ranger.

My Cold Steel Bowie machete, Cold Steel bushman, BPS adventurer and Mora 546. Or Case raider bowie, Cold Steel GI tanto , Cold Steel peace maker 2 and Mora companion.

- APO-1S survival knife from AUS-8 steel. - Old Hickory carbon steel butcher knife. - Tramontina Bolo Machete - Camillus Titanium knife.

The Bob Ross of prepping 😂👍❤️🇺🇸

LOL, I have a box full like yours. 1) Cold Steel Magnum Kukri machete 2) Cold Steel Master Hunter 3) Spyderco Street Bowie 4) Ontario SP-1 Combat I didn't include any multi-tools because I have a small tool kit with quality tools already packed.

Carbon steel Machete. sheathed on my pack. Victorinox Fieldmaster. Around my neck in a leather snap over sheath. Buck Strider. On my belt. SRK. on my belt or pack. You said 4 knives. In addition to those, a Riggers hatchet and a Corona folding saw.

Bark River Bravo 3 ZT 0100 Bradford G-necker Leatherman Surge Was subbed but it shows I am not so re-subbed great topic

1-WTG Hemlock Ares, 2-CS Jungle Machete, 3-OKC SP-10, 4-CS 5Max.

The companion is probably the # 1 go to bushcraft knife

1) sog powerlock multi tool 2) cold steel drop forged survivalist 3) Crkt minimalist Persian 4) cold steel espada xl g10 5.) buck 110

The balance on the Strongarm is great.

Well without having had the opportunity to try all my blades I think these would be my choices: For a large blade, to process wood and chop vines, my Kershaw Camp 10 or my Schrade SCHF9. General purpose: a Gerber Prodigy or a QSP Bison. For a tactical type self-defense knife: the Cold Steel Recon Tanto or the Steel Will Argonaut. For survival and Bushcraft I would go with the Mora Garberg. For a light knife to cut food I'd choose the very first knife I ever purchased which is my Buck Woodsman.

Cold steel Kurk I machete in o1, kabar bk9 I have a small survival tin and a smaller blade attached to the sheath as well not sure if that counts towards my blade limit, my zero tolerance 0550 (hood sturdy folder), and my shiv work clinch pick not only as a last ditch delt defense knife but I think the blade shape will lend itself to small utility task and food ans game prep as well

1) Multitool w/bit kit - SO many things you can do with these, pliers, awl, can opener, basic tools, small knife, it’s critical to have this type flexibility with you 2) BPS Knives SK5 - excellent all around tough knife that’s Scandi grind, strong, and can do bushcraft, meat processing, and defensive work very well 3-Old roofing hammer/hatchet - had this forever and it does well at many heavy duty tasks and is a good weapon also 4) Gurkha Kukri - this has been a great heavy duty tool over the years and it can do many tasks very well.

What a brilliant idea! You got me thinking. Gonna have to open up my knife tub

I agree with the Mora. Since I do not have a fixed blade, I’d probably carry the Cold Steel Voyager. For wood, I’ve always used a Sven saw for backpacking and I know it will keep me warm. Ive always carried bear mace, a loud whistle, and a tiny air horn. Just because it’s sharper than a razor and I’ve used it to cut bandages, vines, and most any material, I’d feel lost without the Milwaukee spring assisted with the serration.

In my opinion, anything large that Condor manufactures is going to be a good choice. They also have really good machetes.

ESSE6.,ESSE3. ( I wear it as a neck knife), Mora companion spark and an ULU for food prep. I didn’t even know they made a tactical 4 , I am working to hard it’s cutting into my knife time.

For me TRC K1-S Victorinox Swisstool or Swisschamp TRC Apocalypse American Tomahawk Model 1 or 2 depends of situation 😅

#1 kbar modified tanto #2 cold steel leatherneck tanto #3 crkt m40-15 #4 Gil hibben tundra bushcraft That was fun watching and deciding which 4 knives I would pick! Thanks

I believe a bug out bag should have the best you can afford for all people, don’t want too weak of steel or otherwise one may end up using the wrong tool for the right job ❤

Tops yacare, esee cm6, esee3/4 and my tops ice dagger. I like my silky zubat and pocketboy though too lol

1.Terävä Skrama 240 2.Terävä Skrama 200 3.Terävä Jääkäripuuko 140 4.Terävä Skrama 80

1. Buck 119. I've gutted a lot of deer with that knife before I learned a smaller one works just as well. But, after 35 years, it deserves to go with me. 2. KA-BAR Cutlass Machete. It is tough and cuts. It would be my first choice for a fighting knife. 3. Cold Steel Hudson Bay Camp Axe. It is light for an axe but works better than a hatchet. 4. Not as picky, but a small pocket folder with 2 or 3 blades. Something like Buck Knives Stockman Pocket Knife. Honorable mention: As a kid I always wanted, and then bought when I turned 18, a Buckmaster. It would be a great fighting knife, but it is heavy for what it is.

Great choices. Thanks.

Axe Fixed Blade Leatherman Butter Knife

Awesome vid brother, I would reach for my Esee 5 every time.

Love these kind of vids I was so hoping you went with a kukri for your big blade I would have 5 I never go anywhere without my SAK field master in my pocket as for my other 4 I absolutely agree toes the companion or a mora BCB my fighting blade I’m going with my bark river JX4 aka the bushbat , number 3 I’m going back to mora and the garberg and finally I’m ending it out with my condor kukri as well .

Always appreciate fresh takes that you bring on many subjects. The Esee reminds me of my Batinelli R.E.D. V2 which is one of my faves. Thanks!

I'm getting a esse stainless steel izula knife soon. Cost extra but it won't get rusty. I do have a big modern ka-bar knife. To heavy for my bad back. So my friend is getting it. I also carry a folding Gerber Bushcraft style knife. For defense I have my folding spyderco knife that's half serrated. Finally a 8 inch straight dagger.

Awesome video and concept. My four ride or die blades are the... Leatherman Wave Mora Garberg LT Wright Overland Machete Silky saw

The first thing I would grab would be something that could excel at multiple tasks. Which would be my Zombie Tools Scyllis. Styled after a Persian fighting knife. But nearly a 1/4” thick of well heat treated 5160 spring steel. Can easily shrug off batoning and chopping. But could easily transition to a fighting knife. Next I would take my ESEE 4 for smaller hard use tasks and game processing. Third I would take my Kobalt folding saw with interchangeable blades for metal, wood and plastic. And lastly probably a folder. Which, as much as I love all my fancy folding knives, would probably be my Ontario RAT-1. Until I get a Cold Steel AD-10 anyways haha

1. Vic Ranger Grip 55 or 78 on belt 2. Gerber Strongarm for bushcraft and defense 3. Silky Pocketboy 340-13 4. Skrama 240 I would take 5 Items. Backup Cold Steel SR1 Lite on belt. So I have a multitool with a decent knife size for daily tasks, food prep. and a sturdy folding knife for bushcrafting always on me without generating too much attention.

Dude, it came close to happening in 2020, when the big "C" hit. Lots of empty shelves in stores.

Off Grid RidgeBack V2 for my neck knife, my Tops Operator 7 as my belt knife, my 18 Inch Full Tang Kukri on my pack suspenders and an 18" Barreled 12 bore Remington 870 pump shotgun in my hands...

I also choose my Condor heavy duty kukri, Joker for bushcraft (cant remember the name) Tops S A.W. for tactical uses, and for fine tasks i just don't know.. so many choices. Probably a Buck or a cold steel folder

My Grandfather made a Knife in early 20th century so that's coming. I have a Tops Frog Market, odd shaped but a solid slicer for camp or kitchen. An LT Wright Kephart for the field. A Silky type saw for wood.

David McIntyre has a video titled: *Four Knives*. It's worth watching. You really need to do some camping.

Victorinox swiss champ, morakniv companion,schrade hatchet saw combo and work sharp field sharpener

Thanks for the video. I grew up in East Tennessee. I was surrounded by the easter deciduous forests similar to where you are. I would pick one set of blades for that scenario. I lived in Oklahoma City for six years. I lived in southern Louisiana for over ten years. I've now been in Wyoming for over ten years. I've lived other places for shorter periods of time. I lean towards a different set of choices for each location. Much would also depend on whether I could carry a true axe or a saw for processing wood. Either of those would be better than any kind of "blade" in a survival situation. Because I live where there isn't a tree within a mile of my house in any direction, I don't currently own a good axe or even a good saw. Much would also depend on what other weapons I could carry for self-defense and whether I lived in a place where I thought I would need to fight my way out of my location. For instance, I lived in western Houston for a little over two years. If things went insane at that time and I had to get out of the city but didn't have access to firearms, I'd have to choose blades that would be primarily fighting blades. I have a short sword that has "Cobra" stenciled on the blade. I think Windlass made this series of modern fighting swords. I'd probably pick this sword, pick a tomahawk by a company that I refuse to acknowledge any longer, and pick a push dagger from that same company. None of these would really be top choices for other situations, but I would take them in hopes that they would give me the best chance to fight. My fourth would then be a bushcraft knife. On the other hand, I wouldn't take the sword or the tomahawk if I had access to firearms and ammunition for self-defense. There's no point in using a short sword when I have the option of shooting an attacker. I would still carry the push dagger in case someone got close to me by surprise and I couldn't draw a gun in time. I currently live in a very unpopulated part of Wyoming. If I had to go somewhere, I'd have a reasonable chance of not being surprised by someone getting close. Under those conditions, the push dagger doesn't seem as important. Survival would depend on getting to some place with trees, but I'm not sure where I would go or what trees I would find. I don't have a real saw right now. I think I have a Harbor Freight version of one of those Asian trimming saws. I'm going to assume that the saw would cover many of my wood processing jobs and not count against my total. 1. machete - I have two old machetes that I've used quite a bit when I was younger. I'm not sure which one I'd take, but I feel confident processing wood with them. I'd still hope to use the saw for most wood processing, but a machete is still a great tool for building shelter and can be pressed into service as a weapon. 2. kukri - I have a couple of kukri. I'm not sure which I'd rather take. I'd take one. A kukri would be a good backup for wood processing, would be effective for self-defense, and could probably be used for hunting. 3. bushcraft knife - I have a Gerber of some kind that would probably be my first choice. 4. bushcraft knife - I would probably take my other bushcraft knife from the company that I don't like to name. Maybe I would take a smaller kukri instead.

Gerber multi tool, wtg mt. Hood for bushcraft, Silky bigboy/gomboy depending on trees. Tactical bk21 for brush, bk9 for indoors/urban.

So many wonderful possibilities, but I like these combinations: A Team Victorinox WorkChamp - Multitool/Food Prep/Carving Mora Kansbol - Food Prep/Carving Cold Steel Rajah II - Fighter/Food Prep Condor Atrox - Chopper/Machete/Short Sword B Team Victorinox WorkChamp - Multitool/Food Prep/Carving Cold Steel Drop Point Voyager XL - Food Prep/Camp Steel Will Argonaut 810 - Fighter/Food Prep Cold Steel Tanto Machete - Machete/Short Sword

Your Apocalypse Grid Down, Bug Out on Foot, Camp multiple nights, Harvest Game, Process Wood, Defend yourself scenario is tough. 4 Blades must provide a wide range of capabilities without weighing you down, a Tall Order! 1.Gerber Down Range Axe/Hammer/Pry Bar-for rough brute work. 2.Bidor Parang-for deep in the woods work. 3.Leatherman Surge Multi Tool-for transitional, versatile and delicate work. 4.BG Survival Knife with Fire Steel, Integrated Sharpener, & Whistle-for if I could only have one.

1. Leatherman Charge. 2. Morakniv Pro Robust. 3. Cold Steel SRK. 4. Cold Steel Trench Shovel.

I'd take my Gerber Prodigy, Muela 5161, and it'll be a hard pick on anything else, but I'd have a hatchet.

1. Ghurka 13" Kukri 2. Blackjack Mamba 3. Cold Steel Taipan 4. GCS 163 Camp Knife I got my first Kuk when I was 11 years old, been my first love ever since When I joined the mil I augmented the Kuk with the Mamba since the performance was similar but MUCH MUCH FASTER when speed was of the essence. I added the Taipan after I became a contractor for everyone's favorite "Three Letter" -- very handy that knife...handy indeed! The GCS is amazing for both processing and chores around the camp as well as acting as a pry bar and diggin at them roots!

Mine would be helle falknevin. Tops moccasin ranger. Esse 5 and condor village parang.

Whatever the Joe X knife will be. Four of them!

I pulled these out of my blade crate. Tops bushcrafter, Lion Steel T5, Bark River Bravo 2 and Bark River Trakker.

I think we are talking 4 knives but if we include a multitool, here it is: Surge Multitool Condor bushman parang Gerber strongarm (unused in a bugout bag) Brother Scandi D2 or Condor Terrasaur. Reserve: Cold Steel Master Hunter (toss up between this and the scandi

1) Companion: Vosteed Nightshade 2) Tactical: Bark River North Country 2 fixed blade 3) Bushcraft: Tora Blades Havildar Khukuri 4) Big Blade: TFW Ginunting The Vosteed Nightshade is a folder I have used for everything: Household chores, Cooking, opening boxes, precision cuts and detail cutting, etc. The slanted blade really helps take strain off my wrist when I gotta make a lot of cuts in one sitting. My Bark River North Country 2 comes with a sheath I can carry on my belt. I like appendix carrying since its out of the way and can be hidden well under a jacket. My Tora Blades Havildar Khukuri is the one I like the feel of most. I love khukuris and have several in my collection. Tora makes some of the best ones that are historical reproductions. The stick tang construction makes the blade more top heavy and less strenuous to both swing and carry. And it can be used to fight in s pinch. The TFW Ginunting is a Filipino blade. Its machete length, lightweight and slender. It can be used to slice through vines and light brush but excels more in combat situations where the forward curve at the tip causes slashes to stab into a target and also "rebound" faster for a second swing. And the top 1/3 of the back edge is sharpened so it can do reverse cuts but also being blunt at the back end of the spine allows me to brace and block with my blade if needed.

The kukri 💪

Hi, I'm German and a bug out bag over here would look totally different than in the US. No weapons but lots of foot and goodies for trading ,tobacco and schnapps. People come together in tragedy, they don't rip each other's heads off. ;) But if I would have to take 4 knives I would take those. Leatherman Wave AD 10 SOG neck knife Omega Slings Belt Knife

Buck 110 Gerber strongarm leatherman wave and my Parker survival knife from the 80s

1) Skullcrusher SXB ( Chops like an ax, notches wood with its saw feature, can be used for defense ). 2) Woodman's Pal ( Good for clearing brush, cutting fire breaks and can be used as a weapon ). 3) Swisschamp or Explorer Swiss Army Knife for unmatched versatility . (Victorinox Brand only ) 4) Air Force Pilot's Survival knife : Pommel is a hammer, sharpening stone in sheath, saw for creating sawdust tinder, blade shape good for fighting. Note : Nothing made in China !

Very cool video sir. Based purely on the stuff I actually own I would choose my Gerber Gator Sawback Machete, Gerber Strongarm, Joker Campero and a Swiss Army knife.

-Leatherman P4 -Bark River Gunny -Tops Prather War Bowie -Tops .170 Machete

1.Bushman Bowie cold steel (got love that spear/bushcraft knife 2 in 1) 2. Counter Tac 1 3. Truper double edge machete

Great topic! No budget knives on this journey Daniel! All are already in my Go Bag. My Hunter knife is my Shokunin Warlock hunting knife. This knife is second to none for processing all game. My Combat knife is the Ka-Bar Becker BK9. This weapon will KEAL! My Camp and Wood knife is the Big Bushcraft Hatchet knife #7. Use it one time and you'll never use another. Last but not Least...My Pangui Neck Knife. This is the one that saves you in the dark places of the world when you need a secret friend! What ya think?

I have five blades for SHTF. Buck 124, Cold Steel Recon tanto. Kershaw Camp 10, 18 inch machete and Stihl hatchet strapped on bug out bag. My wife and son have their own knives, waxed canvas bedrolls, bug out bags and firearms also.

BPS kiridashi - best wood carver ever, Tops Tom Brown Tracker - firewood processing, shelter construction game processing, Glock 81 - indestructible utility knife, dig a hole, dig an arrow out of a tree (or a zombie skull in keeping with the theme), process game, strike a ferro rod, and the handle stays cool when you heat the blade to cauterize a wound, Cold Steel Templar - equally indestructible and the only blade capable of Hollywood level throwing - any style, any distance, any target, sticks every time! Does my Sven saw count as a blade ? An absolute necessity

Cold Steel Kobun, Tops Steel Eagle 107D, SOG Jungle Canopy and my first and most sentimental Cudeman jjsk2

The Kukri is your battle knife. In the Apocalypse you need to think about weight. Carrying water. I agree with 1 and 4. Otherwise, you need a knife that can become a spear. Or shovel.

The RMJ Tactical SHRIKE Tomahawk can do anything. The Tops Kuma KAGE if you’re worried about zombies. Tops wild pig hunter is a pretty good survival, knife, and the RMJ Tactical up close and personal for smaller tasks.

Neat Knife Box! I'd take my Fiskers Splitting Axe and my Gil Hibben Kukri Fighting Knife for work, and my Gil Hibben Highlander for slicing watermelon. I always have my Leatherman on my and use that daily.

Dude... I'm tripping out right now that you have the exact same tub to store your knives as I have 😄. Your choice of knives when the crap hits the fan seems logical to me. I'm not sure what I would include. Good food for thought. Great video. Thank you

My Bolo Machete, Spyderco Yojimbo, Randal Hunting Bowie and a small prybar

1. Multitool, on my belt 2. Spyderco Police 4 in K390 for camp chores, rope and small stuff. In my pocket. 3. Survive Knives 5.1 on my belt. For wood processing and defense. 4. Mora Companion in my pack. Rationale: I will have three important items on my person.

Rather than the Mora Companion, I'd select the Mora Eldris (were I going to choose a Mora.) The Eldris handle and blade are shorter, but that makes them more controllable and they're still long enough to get the job done. In fact, the Eldris handle is more comfortable and useable than the other Mora handles.

Fighting knife choice would definitely be the cold steel oss.

Camilus carnivore X,Fiskars Billhook saw, Bowie knife, and a good size Gerber folding knife.

Yes, Gerber Strongarm, Mora Companion, *3 bladed pocket knife* or Victorinox Huntsman, at the moment I have no kukri knives but several machetes. Either other. Can't recommend brand as I have little experience here.

Really enjoyed this video Daniel. A great concept to explore. You could easily make this into a series, like 3 weapons and 3 pieces of gear for the apocalypse or best throwing knife and slingshot combo. Thanks for the upload ✊

Cold steel bushman turned into short a spear for reach, multitool or Swiss army knife (Huntsman), BG Ultimate pro knife. Some kind of a machete maybe the cold steel jungle machete. Hope there is no zombies in this Apocalypse or my chubby a** is dinner.

1 a swiss army knife w wood saw metal file and 8 other blades..2cold steel OSS, carbon V blackened blade,,3 buck124 4 a quality made Brazilian machete w saw teeth on the back properly set and sharpened..FYI all cutting teeth on a wood blade (circular saw,jig saw,hand saw,) must be "set" or bent, so that the cut is wider than the blade,,cheap chinese machetes ,(after shtf no telling what you will run arcross),you can look down the top and see the teeth are straight and flat like the blade,,every other tooth must be set,, you can do this with a vise and a hammer and nail,clamp machete so just the cutting teeth are above the vise jaw,and lightly tap the first tooth away from you, next tooth tap towards you,next tooth away , repeat till done..a quality machete w sawback teeth will already have this done,u look down the top and you will see every other tooth bent so the cut is wider than the blade..survival wire ropes dont last too long,or you can carry bow saw blades and a few bolts with you for a wood cutting saw..and the buck 119 is very popular ,BUT its a partial tang knife,and can be broken,, the buck 124,@ $200 is a bit pricy ,but its a full tang knife, unbreakable with two hands and 300#, look for a used one online..thats dinged up..or a cold steel GI tanto , if your on a budget.
