    Someone posts this routinely. One of the oldest members on the old forum replied "I'm too old for little knives"

    Its a flat piece of steel with a handle on one end and a sharp edge down one side.

    Personally I don't have big knives, but I do have relatively big knives. I gave up on folders completely. I have a short, thick bladed drop point sheath knife.

    A survival knife reflects people who are prepared for extreme circumstances where they must pitch themselves against nature in an all out bid to not die. These people will mostly die. If they live it will be because they managed to crawl into the camp of someone enjoying life outdoors in the same circumstances.
