Only 2 knives for s.h.t.f

[fanofsteel]

If you could only have 2 knives you already own in a apocalyptic event what would they be and why. My 2 are, 1. Cold steel srk 3v, tough rugged, and won't break very easly given you don't pry with the tip (use a crowbar or rebar). And number 2. Spartan blades ronin shinto in magnacut because it's beefy, balanced, and strong. I was torn between the spartan ronin shinto and spartan horkos, I chose the ronin shinto because it's just a bigger piece of magnacut.

 

[Synov]

Carothers Shiv 2.0 and K20.1 (currently being made)

 

[Danke42]

The 2 I have on me when it happens.

 

[Boattale]

USMC fighting knife and SAK Spartan.

 

[scorpnsnake]

A pair of these.

[The True North]

Leatherman Rebar and ESEE 6.

 

[Mk-211]

BK&T BK-2, because that's what Ethan said he would use.

BK-9 for the small stuff.

 

[John_B]

The 2 I have on me when it happens.

This I guess. Small SAK, chapstick and rabbit foot if at work.

 

[knarfeng]

If I have a choice, SAK Farmer and Gerber Strongarm.

But it'll probably be whatever is on me, so that's most likely going to be an SAK Pioneer and whatever modern folder I have with me that day.

 

[Drop bear]

Gerber center drive. And the cold steel 4 max.

I still think being able hide a big knife in a pocket is a super handy feature.

 

[1911bphil]

It will probably happen while I'm at work, so a folding utility knife and my SAK Signature.

 

[WedgeAntilles]

CRK Pacific (carried daily in my backpack) and Inkosi (for ease of maintenance paired with usability and strength.

 

[XtianAus]

● Demko freereign
● Trc south pole or polheim

If I have to pick only two knives, the first would be my ESEE 6. It can do a multitude of tasks, making it a very versatile tool. For my second choice, I’d bring my much-loved Spyderco Military, which can be found in my pocket most of the time.

 

[DMG]

Probably my Carothers FK2 and a Swisstool. The one with scissors. If multitools aren’t allowed, a GB2 or Magnacut Hogue Ritter.

 

[AMR11]

Esee 6 as well for me. Borka SBD for the second.

 

[Shorttime]

TOPS Pry Knife.
The blade on a pliers-based multitool.

If that doesn't count, then probably a Buck 110.

Let's be honest. I'm a town boy, I think adventures are nasty cold wet things that make you late for supper, and I would either be dead by the third day, or valuable enough for my knowledge that the other survivors would keep me safe.

 

[Steely_Gunz]

That depends on the level of preparation I'm allowed to have

I'm I can have time to mull it over, the big blade I would lean toward would be something I am familiar with, easy to sharpen, and can do big work. Most likely a khukuri around 15-16" over all length and of thinner stock. My second is a no brainer: Leatherman Multi tool, most likely my Charge TTi.

If we are talking about what would likely be on my person: The Charge TTi is on me everyday. The last month+ it has been riding along with a Cold Steel 5 Max. So I still feel pretty good with that.

 

[Andersonbushcraft]

I'd say probably one of my 5 inch belt knives like my lt wright forest trail or ratmandu and a large chopping blade for building shelters and processing wood. Likely my busse battle mistress or parang. If I was stuck in a big city vs my rural area, I'd go a tough folder and a mid-sized fixed blade. Probably a hinderer eklipse and my ratmandu. Definitely would want simple, easy to sharpen steels, and simple operation, nothing to break.
