Spot, you are far from spot on with this list.
Besides the Spyderco there is not one blade on the list I would own let alone put on a top ten survival blade list.
To be a top survival knife in my mind the knife has to survive itself, tough nearly indestructable and holds an edge.
Look at Busse blades, Scrapyard and Swamprats for a start. Not many stack up to these.
Dont take my word for it learn more about tough blades here .http://www.youtube.com/user/noss4
Its all about the steel not the maker.

My survival knife is a little different then those posted. I like something good for chopping and brutally strong. I went for a
KaBar Becker TacTool. This thing is very thick so it can be used to split wood or swing like an axe. It's only downside without
the curve blade is that you can't skin things very well with it.

Same as Dave, besides the Spyderco the listed knives are tactical and hardly the best survival knives. Sorry, but it looks like you
got the list from a gun magazine. Get real, in a survival situation you want a knife that has been used for bush crafting or
camping. Lots of good blades out there and my top 10 list would look completely different.
In the end it boils down to what you have on you right now. If it is the kabar then this knife will be your survival blade.

One comment, steel alloys are fairly irrelevant, heat treat on the other side is very important. Hence makers are more important
than steels.
For example Rats and Dogs use common steels with proprietary heat treats which makes them outstanding blades (besides that
their designs are also very good). With infi you have a marketing gimmick, sooo secret steel. Odds are it is normal high carbon
steel with some slight variations. Some people claim it could also be a nitrogen steel but then it wouldn't rust and infi rusts.
Frankly, if you ask me in the wild you want something like classic 1095 high carbon steel with a good HT because it is
sufficiently tuff and easy to sharpen. Supersteels are so hard that you cannot really sharpen them in the field.

awesome survival knife choices, mine in particular would be the Gerber Prodigy, its exactly the same as the LMF II but
without the lashing holes, but even without them its not like the knife has any different performance. Anyway good choice of
knives up there. Keep it up.

Some people have a very narrow definition of "survival situation". In an urban setting, some of those knives would do just fine.
You'd likely be scavenging more than hunting and skinning and building shelter. That Tac Tool would be appropriate then.
Sometimes it's more immediate survival. 911 was a survival situation and 5 or 6 men trapped in an elevator escaped without a
knife among them. They used the squeegee that happened to be in the hands of the window washer trapped with them to pry
the doors open and hack through the wall the found themselves facing. In that case, even the Gerber LMF would probably
suffice. Think outside the box, people.
There are still lots of people who swear by the Ka-bar USMC on that list, both military and outdoorsmen.

Okay this is an excellent selection of survival knives. I personally love the SOG line of survival knives. The KA-BAR utility
knives were standard military issue for the Marine Corps for about 200 years. Cool stuff!

Good point. It would definitely figure in choosing the right one. Thanks

A good knife is a well cared for knife. I am a blade junkie myself and have more than once been questioned about and even
arrested for carrying such things around. The look on the cop's face while I tried to explain that the machete behind the seat of
my truck is a tool, not a weapon (while my .357 magnum ta)urus lay on the dashboard) was priceless. And the SOG jungle
primitive and tomahawk in the trunk of my cadillac are cool and fun to play with, but the CASE XX Copperlock that is in my
pocket when I'm awake and on my nightstand when I'm not is good for as much as I wanna do with it. Before that was a Smith
and Wesson something or other, that got lost at work, before that was a Gerber (choose a bunch of letters and numbers). I
snapped the blade off that one using it as a pry bar. The point is, know your knife and know its limitations and versatility, care
for it because you will miss it when you try flint knapping for the first time. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst!

The best survival knife is a large bowie knife. They are durable and you can sharpen them over and over again. In a survival
situation, you will need a knife that can cut into tough materials like tree bark and leather. You have to be able to hunt small
and big animals in a survival situation.

Lol I don't think there is anything more contrversal in survival than knives. Everyone has there fav's but if your looking for a
survival knife just remember what you are gonna use it for. Tatical knives are for defence more than survival but if you know
how to use a knife most any will do. I personally carry a minimum of 2 but usually 3 knives any time I venture into the bush. I
like to carry a small camp axe a large bowie and you will never find me without a mora bushcraft survival knife. I also like
tanto blades for digging, piercing and prying. I carry a small tatical drop leg pouch survival kit that afords me to carry 3 knives
easyly along with other necesities. If I loose, break or dull a knife I can always finish my task with another knife and resharpen
or repair later in camp when I have time. Its also why I dont spend big money on knives. I can carry 3 good knives for under 100
dollars.

This is a pretty controversial list! I have to admit, this would not make my list for top 10 survival knives. Still, it sparked some
interesting discussion here in the comments section. I agree, 1095 is a great steel for a fixed blade survival knife, and is my
personal choice if we are just talking about commonly available steels. It's very tough, sharpens easily, and takes a very nice
edge. It's not very corrosion resistance and depending on the task edge retention is merely ok. Still, for all around survival steel I
really like it.

For survival or just general self-defense a good knife is a necessity. Whenever I go into any wilderness area, my knife is truly one
of the first items I stow as part of my survival gear. Lately I've been using the Metolius Folding Knife by Gerber. Easy to store
and sharpen, I literally dont go anywhere without it. If you are interested in adding it to your outdoor survival gear, you can
find it at www.patriotprovisions.com</a).

I generally carry 3 knives, too- plus a couple throwers for play & hunting. A tactical knife is a class of it's own, but a survival
knife should be an excellant fighter as well. A bushcraft/field/skinner doesn't have to be a good fighter. Survive means- survive.
Whether the threat of starvation, animal attack, exposure, thirst, any scenario you know of, you can dream up, or have yet to
encounter. First and foremost a survival knife should be heavy duty, robust, sharpenable by the user in the field and capable of
taking/holding a good edge. Kukris, bowies (my personal choice) and simular knives, and even short swords such as a good
quality gladius are prime examples. These are not necessarily the first knife you reach for or even use at all on a typical outing
but are what you are going to want in a real life and death challenge. Personal preference in everyday using knives has no place
in selection of a "survival knife". Some of the knives listed in the article are known to break with normal usage. The only one
worthy of consideration is the Spyderco. Does anyone really wish to wonder in a shtf situation whether their gear is going to
fail/kill them?
