A lot of really good knives out there. Looking forward to seeing yours. Mine would be a Randall 14 carbon steel blade. Comes with a stone too. Or a Gerber with a fire stick for sure.

A Swiss Army Mechanic would be my choice.
Pliers, screwdrivers, leather punch and a couple decent blades.

Leatherman Wave
Swiss Army Hunter- I have used this on so many animals without fail, and helped set up shelter few times.
Esse Izula 2- This knife is on me all the time, and this small fixed blade knife has never let me down, even batoned with it few times no issue, game, fish, camp cann't go wrong.

The other was made by a friend. I mostly use it for deboning meat. It was patterned after a professional deer butcher’s knife.

Here is my go to knife combo for the last 25+ years. it's an Outdoor Edge combo that was gifted to me and it just does everything I need. It's comfy, will hold an edge and is easy to touch up. I've used the saw for just about everything and it's held up nicely as well.
So, I guess this would be my choice in a survival situation.

If I had one knife for the end of the world, this would be it. Not for hiking around, but one that does close to everything the ESSE 6 answers that call.That is a good looking blade for sure :saywhat:

Short enough to not be cumbersome and debone any game. Five inch blade is wide enough to grasp between index and thumb to skin.
My brother made it for me about 20 years ago out of a 1930s truck leaf spring. The steel has a low nickel content and keeps a wicked edge for a long time. The grip is made out of a nice chunk of birch burl, with a linseed oil finish which id amazingly not slippery, even with hands covered in blood.

If I only have a knife, I'd have to go with something larger and capable of heavier work like shelter making and fire prep such as this one...

But, if I could also have some other basic tools like a saw and axe or some really basic shelter and what not, then I'd personally opt for something smaller and lighter such as my Brow Tine model...
