- Two knives I recommend for this project, depending on budget:
High End Knife
falkniven A1 amzn.to/2MbX7x1
Value Knife, the one in the video is the SCHF38, but the SCHF9 is better for a survival knife in my opinion.

I personally think every survival knife should have a fire starter outfit if nothing else...
Fernando: FINALLY! Someone else figured out that a thick gauge pill baggie is a better option for micro survival kit than the ubiquitous Altoids tin. I’ve never understood why so many people are so in love with trying to cram decent tools into such a limited space. Bringing a lesser tool simply because it’s 2mm longer than the tin? Never made sense to me. And boiling water in one of those tins? Noooo thank you. Pack some barbecue grade aluminum foil and a zip tie. Use a sapling & make a proper bush pot with the old fist-molding trick. PS: your breast milk hack is considerably more economical than forking over $2 apiece for those Whirlpack bags
Personally I would bin the Vesta's in favour of a Spark-Lite & a 4 pack of Tinder-Quicks.
Also the Oasis puritabs leave your water tasting like a public swimming pool & they are marginal against Cryptosporidium or Guardia. Chlorine Dioxide tablets are much the better choice. If obtainable. If not, the Oasis tablets are at least better than nothing.
Really a good video and kit. It's almost exactly what I carry in my sheath pouch.
I do carry about 8 to 12 inches of duct tape just to repair my two breast milk bags. I have had one leak once while out trying them out a few times. I put it in my cargo pocket and I guess a thorn or some thing poked it, but in any case, it was leaking.
I also carry a very small perfume sample vial of potassium permanganate for extreme emergency water treatment. It's not the best, but it last forever and will work in an emergency.
I also have a larger perfume sample vial of bug juice. It's enough to get me through a Louisiana night with my hands, arms and face covered, and not get eaten alive. It's also where I wrap my duct tape around.
I also have a couple feet of wire, and a couple nails.
I'm not sure about your sheath, but my specops sheath has a plastic liner, and between the liner and the back of the nylon sheath, I can stick an Ugly Wood Pruning Saw Blade in there. I duct tape the teeth on the saw and now I have a good saw blade, and I just need to make a handle for it which isn't hard out in the bush. That's why I carry wire and nails. One nail to hold the blade in place and the other to twist the wire TIGHT around the handle, and tape it all in place.
Here's the blade I carry, but you do have to cut the tip down a little so it doesn't stick too far up where the knife handle is.

I love these kind of kit videos and seeing what others come up with. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, I'll try doing more.
Its funny, becuase part of the kit was also a mini Bic lighter with some duct tape, and some potasium permangenate in a small vial but it just didnt fit in this tiny pocket.
Who uses 'survival knives' in the military?
I've never seen anyone carry one of those!
I'm from a time where we carried bayonets, a Swiss army knife, and a field/combat knife!
So I've always wondered if it was just a sales gimmick, popularized by the Rambo movie!?
Navy SEALS did carry the Buckamster 184 at some point. The Jungle King I and II was also used by the military in a number of countries. Special operations and guardia civil in Spain have both used the Jungle king I and II.
The Randall Model 18 Attack & Survival is also a highly regarded hollow handle survival knife. So to ansewer your question. It is very much the real deal ... IF you buy the real deal stuff. Lots of knockoff made in China "rambo" knives. I happen to believe a kit kept in a pouch in the sheats is a better idea, but some serious survival knives have a hollow handle for it. They can be pretty expensive though.
Gorilla Guerilla, Unbelievable...I'll just mention two military knives that you may have heard of.....Kabar and Glock Field Knife are both "survival" knives.
GorillaGuerilla Your comment is hilarious. If you bothered to do a small amount of research you’d see that modern survival knives were actually pioneered for the military. The Raider Bowie was a survival knife used in the pacific theater of WW2. And to respond to your assertion that Rambo caused the “gimmick” you should be made aware of the Randall knives of Vietnam. They were some of the most esteemed knives, and were popularized by MACV/SOG. They had fairly large blades, were very stout, and had hollow handles for survival items. This was over a decade BEFORE Rambo was released. And that’s just one example. Ruana knives was another example. The Ontario bolt-knife is another. In more recent years the Cold Steel Trailmaster and Recon Scout (which are both .28” thick) have been used by certain units. The Becker BK2, the BuckMaster, the SRK, and many many more have all been issued to members of the US military. Those are all survival knives.
Any knife you carry could become a survival knife if the situation presents itself.
So you better carry a knife that you can trust with your life.

Sorry I'm so late to respond, but as far as the Glock standard Field Knife goes, it's NOT designated as a "Survival Knife", but as a Field, Utility, and/or Combat Knife!
The one you might be thinking of is the later version, the Field/"Survival" Knife, (the one with the saw teeths, which actually still is just a Field Knife - but some like to call "survival knife" due to the saw teeths).
Oh, and having had the Glock Knife as part of my standard equipment in 15 years - and still the owner of one, (sent the two others I used to own to Ukraine in Marts 22).
As @TheModernSurvivalist was kind enough to point out, there is examples of "survival knives", as in hollow shaft knives packed with various "survival essentials" (and sometimes not so essential), being used in real life - and I stand corrected on this issue.
It's just that in my career, I haven't come across it - everyone I know always preferred full tang knives.
Now, as someone else correctly pointed out, any knife that can help you survive, is kind of a "survival knife" - and if we're using that definition, there's a lot of "survival knives" out there - heck, even "survival bayonets".
Tte Multitool and the Swiss Army Knife I had as part of my standard equipment can be called "Survival knives" too then...
That's a sweet blade buddy.
I love it,I love it,I love it...
I keep two lights in my backpack, some trash bags, a folding knife, two survival kits, first aid kit, filter with bag and tube for it, sanitizing tablets, and the bedding. My main knife is carried on my utility belt along with my canteen, and fire steel.
I for am not a huge fan of the hollow handle knives, with all due respect to the Rambo films and Jimmy Lile's skills but he did craft several later era Rambo style knives, for a collector with the studio's approval, from what I know they had no hollow handle characteristics, what so ever but they did possess the compass with glass shatterer tip pommel, it could also work as hammer when the head cap was removed, similar to the Ontario Airforce Survival Pilots Knife & the Ka-Bar, kept its classic screwdriver handles, but there were only 4 ever made, 2 were based around the first movie and 2 for the second one. I only saw a couple of pictures of them once during a documentary, but this was around 2016
I myself usually carry my jackknife, secretly with me it's an old Romanian Army one but pretty heavily modified, with shotgun shell pullers, has a 6-7 cm blade 15-17 mm thickness width of 1.5 cm, very good grip with deer antler for the grip it very well fits right into the palm of your hands, 1 bottlecap opener/flat head screwdriver, can opener, corkscrew, awl, all stainless steel, also I have an old Adrianov compass, its wrist watch style one so it very useful, but i lack the wrist belt for it, currently still trying to find one,
Lile needed no studio approval for his designs... Lile died in 1991, barely 6 years after the last Rambo movie he worked for. During all this time there were 3-5 workers in the shop. I know of a few non-hollow handle First Bloods, but I have never heard of full tang Missions (R2), or of any full tangs with a "removeable head cap". A link to a photo would be very interesting.
Could someone give me an educated opinion on heavy duty survival blades?
I mean a blade where you would carry a small knife for finer work and something big that can take a beating and also doubles up as a weapon. The blade-types that come to my mind are:
Kukri: pretty much unbreakable and hits like an axe. Can be used for digging and hammering. It has been used for centuries as an all around heavy duty blade.
Bowie: far more fragile with its flat blade and clip-point, but also historically used and probably for a good reason. Moreover, it's probably the best combat blade in the list.
Tanto: looks to me like a decent compromise and a blade that would be better suited for prying, digging and battoning.
Sawback-machete: the biggest blade, but not heavier. Probably the best, if you'd live in a jungle or had to cut a lot of wood. However, unlike the other examples it can't be concealed inside a rucksack.
You're throwing some very different blades there in the mix. A kukri is not some light, carving blade, nor is a machete. Your best bet for a survival knife is a 6 or 7 inch blade, 4 or 5mm thick, straight or slight drop point. You can go bigger, say a 8 ot 10" blade for outdoors survival in wooded areas. For jungle and tropical areas, a short machete will usually do nicely.
Thank you. I considered only blades around 1/2 kg and except for the Tanto, they were all used for survival situations. If I'm not mistaken pistols weight around 1kg and rifles around 5kg, so I'm not too worried about the weight of a blade, but you're right, a shorter blade will suffice in most cases and draw less attention.
Since I have a blade collection, but no survival knife (since there's nothing worth calling a forest within my reach), I would need to buy one, if I get the time for a wilderness training. If I had to pack my stuff now, I would have to rely on my Kukri.
brother...the first knife is not falkniven A1....and you speak too fast: what is it?...
You make the best kits.btw loved your book
Thanks!
I agree pretty much with all you said, but why is the fire-kit not no. 2?
If I could only take three items, it would be a knife, a fire-kit and a water container (preferably one that can be cooked).
Regarding the fire-kit: why don't you use those pyro-matches like the ones kid get at Silvester? They are longer, keep burning significantly longer and hotter and are more resistant to wind and moisture.
Regarding first aid kit: I'm by no means an expert on this topic, but I would think of skalpel, tweezers, some desinfectant, blood-clotting cotton, a turniquet, maybe superglue and ductape (both have been used since WWII/Vietnam war for improvised first aid).
You’re building the 24” machete kit 😉
@@behindthespotlight7983 24 inch machete with saw blade back? Nice!
what is the brand of that knife ,please ?
SYKCO INFI Dog Soldier 8 Knife
Thanks for sharing! Not fully related, what's your opinion on the Glock 19X?
I think it should have been selected over the P320. :-) Great service gun if you ask me. I like having the longer sight radius of the 17 but the Glock 19X is one of the best service Glocks the company has ever made.
