The knife I use most

The knife I use most in a survival situation is the Tom Brown Tracker knife. It is more than just a knife, it is in fact a knife, a hachet, a saw, a draw knife, a spear, and the tip is hardened to enable it to chip stone in to arrow points. I can also use it to size and straighten my arrow shafts by using a hole set into the blade for that purpose.

This is not the model made by Tops, this is the Beck made knife which came out before Tops took over to manufacturing of them. I own both. In my view, I believe the Beck is far superior.

Remember I said this is the one I use the most. This only means that if I had a choice to grab one of my knives and run to the woods, that's the one I would grab. However, I would make do with just about anything at hand, even a piece of broken or chipped stone.

I usually carry with me at all times a small pocket knife. If need be I would use that. There is no ONE knife that is the best, it's all up to the individual to choose what they are the most comfortable with. Mine is the TRACKER.
