Hello. I have always considered myself a survival enthusiast and have used a variety of tools in my outdoor adventures. But when it comes to survival knives, I've hit a bit of a snag.
Take, for example, a recent hike in the Rocky Mountains. I had a decent survival knife with me, or so I thought, but when I needed it to cut the rope, it failed me. The blade just couldn't handle it. Then the question of size arises. Should I choose a compact folding knife or should I go for a larger, more durable one? I've seen arguments for both, but can't decide.
