>>674590well, then you have things like the CS SRK, which is basically a full tang, only the tang is not exposed, and there are videos of people doing really crazy shit to them.
And since we're taking a trip into crazy territory, there's another knife worth mentioning (pic related) - yup, the tracker.
Quick digression for those that don't know the story:
Back in 1980s, a journalist asked Brown, if he had to survive in the wild with only 1 knife, what would it be, to which Brown replied that it didn't exist, because he hadn't designed it yet. And went on to design the famous (or infamous) tracker as the ultimate survival knife.
But like the old saying - the best survival knife is the one you have when you need it. The TBT represents much of the 1990s trend in survival knives - big, clunky, 1/4'' thick.
Now - on it's own merit, it's a pretty good knife. It cuts, it slices. I've chopped with it, and batoned with it. I used it as a showel, and a hammer. It's not something I'd carry with me on any regular basis though.
It is basically #YOLO in knife form. One of those "fuck it, i'll just bring this one and do everything with it" knives.
For other people, that yolo knife might be a BK7, or something else. It's still good form to have a backup knife, but unless you really expect to push the limit of what you need to do with a knife (or just need a big one for a specific reason), you'll be better off with something smaller.
Especially, that most of the time, the knife you will end up using in any given situation is your edc knife - one of the reasons people carry stuff like the Izula, and similar blades.
