I'm curious to learn how we all ended up choosing Survive! Knives over the hundreds of company options out there in Knife Land (it's a real place).
I once carried a Gerber LMF II as my "go-to survival knife," because I thought I needed a sharpened prybar in the woods, and liked knowing there was a glass breaker pommel in case my helicopter ever crashed... And I don't fly a helicopter, but it seemed valid just in case I ever did. I knew from the start the relationship was not made to last with that 6-pound knife, but it looked tactical, and I hung in there far too long.
I went online and stumbled across this video (below) of Guy demonstrating the strength of the GSO 4.1 in 3V. I was moderately intrigued, but around 4 mins into the video, things got stupid, blew my mind, and I knew I'd found a winner.
This video is a classic, and is the reason I landed here. Will I ever hammer my knife into a tree and rappel off a cliff? Probably not. But it's good to know I can... Just in case.
