What is the best survival knife on the market?

Question

I have heard that it was the Gerber LMF II but does anyone know others that are just as good? I prefer fixed blade and i dont have a preference when it come to stainless vs. carbon steel, also it needs to be full tang.

Answer 1

I like the good old Kabar Marine Corp knife.  Take a look.

Answer 2

best is one you have got with you

Is Gerber best knife? - Its good, very good but don't know about "best"

better steel than most --12C27

Entrek has some good blades

Fallkniven has good reputation

I always liked Cold Steel Recon Scout

and for the money the old Ontario Pilots Survival knife is hard to beat

And the Leatherman multi-tool type has a lot going for it

What do I keep in my pack and in my car? Marine combat knife  - One by Ontario and one by Camillous

Best? No. But inexpensive, I have 2, and I like the knife
