Ka-bar knife

I've been using a 5" tanto tipped non-serrated (though I wish it was) ka-bar for around a year now for hiking and survival practices. The grip is non-slipping and fits the hand well. The blade can be honed for a razor edge (careful, if the edge gets wet it will rust).

Also very important is the sheath, the one that came with mine is by far the best one i have. It has three locks to keep the knife restrained. It is capable of horizontal carry (more out of the way).

Also i always carry a Leatherman Juice S2 in my pocket. It is a fine little multi-tool that can take a beating.
