This ia my survival knife. A Marto Brewer. I got mine in 1986. Like most kids at the time, I got mine after watching First Blood. Its heavy, clunky to be wearing at the belt, restricts your movement, so I usually end up carrying it in my back pack. A smaller knife and a machete could do a better job. Have I ever got into a survival situation with it? Well, I managed to get myself lost in 87, after losing track getting up a mountain. It was getting dark and I was in a hurry trying to get to base camp. I had to spend three nights in the jungle. The Malaysian jungle is a real nightmare. But, I was carrying enough provision an they found me on the fourth day. Not really a survival situation, the knife did gave comfort. Psychologically that is. I recommend for mobility to get something smaller. But psychologically, a big knife just gives you a little advantage.
