From R.G.:
This is the Survivor by Dajo. It's a hollow ground drop point blade made from a good grade of Chinese stainless steel. I was able to wrap about 10' of paracord around the handle because of its unique design. This makes the grip a lot more comfortable than the G10 scales alone. It has a 7.5" total length. The sheath is fairly decent and includes a Swedish firesteel. I've done some branch trimming in the field with it and it holds an edge pretty well. I'm still learning to improvise the other necessities like cordage, etc. But without a decent blade, those jobs are all a lot harder.
That's a lot of knife for the price, with some unique features. I like the firestarting notch....
ReplyDeleteActually read a review on one of these awhile back, can't remember where, but do remember that the review was very good....especially considering the price of the knife, which I believe is under $50.00....cant beat that! Great entry!
ReplyDeleteYour thought process of improvising other necessities is spot on. Things like ferro rods, lighters, flashlights, batteries, 550 cord and duct tape would be in short supply and eventually run out in a true TEOTWAWKI scenario. Those that can revert back to stone age living will make the transition. In my opinion, primitive skills are essential. Good post.
