I have started watching Alone beginning with the first season.
It has really had me thinking about what I would want in a knife as my only cutting tool other than a axe.
I have always said that I feel I could get by with just a Wolverine as my only knife.
While I do feel the knife is very versatile and would not be a hindrance, I think I may want something a bit different.
My thoughts now are that I would want a little more length as well as some more belly.
This next knife would also be very useful in a survival situation.
The drawback with this one is the handle shape.
I feel that it really limits the comfort in certain grips.
My ideas now would be for a knife with a 6" to 6.5" blade that is 1.5" to 1.7" wide.
I have made several different versions of Camp Knives but I think I would want my Survival Knife to be a mixture of a couple.
I like the blade shape of this this pattern and it is also very handy for multiple uses.
This one just has a little too pointy tip which could break off right when you don't want it to.
This one I feel is the most viable candidate for a starting point.
Shorten the blade, give the edge a little more curve, and give the handle a little more downward angle.
I think that would make a winning combination.
I would like to hear and see some of your ideas for what you would like to see in a Survival Knife.
I do have plans to start on my version sometime after the first of the year.
Who knows, with you guys input there could be more than one version made.
Let have a good discussion.
