Its finally time for my first thread, after months of lurking in the shadows. :grin:
After quite a bit of internet research on forums, youtube & local stores (Price point, quality & selection) I've decided to purchase some SOG knives.
I'm a chef by trade and love my blades currently owning around 15 knives. I own Global, Porsche Croma, Fiskars & Wusthof blades. I know each knife and what they are great at, but for me one knife can't do everything.
So applying my twisted logic to the SHTF, I think I'll need minimum of three different blades to bug out with and this is where advice is needed.
Knife One. The last line in self defense, a fighting knife. I've already taken a shine to the 'Agency.' (Possibly starting Krav Maga Classes soon.)
Knife Two. A utility survival knife. Something that's at home with the general knife tasks.
Knife Three. A folding knife. More aimed at the skinning and preparation of game (& possibly road kill
)
I intend to team these up with a camp axe/tomahawk too. For a little extra redundancy.
Any advice on blade brand/selection would be great, its something new for me and I look forward to your comments.
Cheers
Sheldon
