in my opinion, there is no such thing as "the best knife" its a toll that does a thing, a very broad catagory of tool infact, it would be like asking
>whats the best hammer?
walk into any hardware store worth its salt and the saleman will look at you like your mad. you have to think what you want the knife to do for you, is it gonna be for food? for wood? carving? does it need to be exceedingly sturdy or would a thin lithe blade better? so much variation it is practically impossible to find "the best knife" and that is not even accounting for personal taste!
for me its three way tie between the
>Mora classic
>Condor bushlore
>ESEE 6
if we are talking just a fun trip to the woods for a bit of fun and practice i would bring the mora or the bushlore, in a sort of fantasy survival, i had to go on the "Alone" show kinda thing i would bring the ESEE, but on second though i would consider the Mora classic, i bought two with the expectation that it would break under stress because it is not "muh full tang" but, to be honest ive put the Mora through atleast as much as the Condor if not more and its just smiled back at me and kept on chucking, the ESEE 6 does have one fairly major advantage over the condor in a longer term scenario, the relative thinness of the blade and the length actually enables it to make shingles, which is lovely for bowdrill, but if one really had to hunker down, you could hypothetically make a propper roof, hypothetically of course
heres an old shitty picture of the knives i owned at the time, everything seen quite a bit of wear since then but its fun to look back
