I EDC this knife for self defense, this would not be my primary survival blade as it is too thin of a blade, however it does have excellent penetration and slashing ability. It could work for survival situations but I would strongly recommend something different. All in all an excellent knife.

First off,I spend alot of time in the woods.Between hunting,camping,hiking,working and practicing my survival skills.I've owned many knifes before I settled on this one.Its about the best knife for an all-around outdoor/hunting/survival knife.

I love the handle.Its very durable,comfortable,and might i add,stylish!

The blade is a perfect all around length also.Its not a machate/bowie ment to hack wood and foilage.Its also not a tiny caping/carving knife ment for woodcarving or for surgical use.But it'll do either function in a pinch.Its primarily ment for cutting cord,rope and webbing.Making snares and traps.Self defense.Processing game.And playing a LARGE role in any survival situation.BTW,I love the serration on the blade.

The sheath,in my oppinion,is a bit overkill for an all around outdoor knife.

The feel of the knife is great,thou nothing to brag about.

Might i add for being a hardcore survivalist.This would make a perfect TEOTWAWKI knife.Coupled with a EDC folder and a big bowie/machate,and you'd have an exellent trio.
