If you were to make the ultimate survival knife/machete what would you put on it?

Maybe put a dimple in the handle so that it can be used as a fire spindle.

Often bushcrafters have to carry a small rock or a piece of wood in their fire kit to use as a spindle when making fire with a bow drill.


If the handle has a small dimple in it they can use the handle of their knife instead of carrying the extra piece as kit.

My Signature

Brilliant! That is a pretty damn good idea! Im totally going to incorporate that into this tool some where!

Lmao!

The spindle dimple was a great idea! Keep Em coming people!

A hamburger, so I could feed him his last meal while I was killing him.

A mirror, so he could see the look on his face.

Another mirror, so I could make sure nobody was sneaking up on me.

One of those bulb horns, so as to lighten the mood a little bit.

A "Crocodile Dundee" bumper sticker that says, "That's not a knife...THAT'S a knife!" Again, just for a chuckle.

Racing stripes for added speed.

Harley-style handlebars with colorful tassels.

A gun, just in case.

Buy a bunch of cigarette lighters and put them individually in ziploc baggies, then put them in your pack, instant fire.

serate the back edge

Lmao! That would be a survival knife of epic proportions!

Barbwire cutters,

and maybe something that says "all cowboys are fags.

I'm going to, but I'm going to make the teeth more like a saw.

Barbwire cutters? Not too shabby that could turn out to be pretty useful

survival needles/fishing hooks/anti biotics and morphine
war zone biological agent (kill more of the enemy)

Steel is the most important element. It should be high carbon steel with a good rust proof coating. Easier to sharpen, stronger and holds and edge better than stainless steel.

By the sounds of it, id need a hollow handle for all of that but having a hollow handle compromises the strength of the actual blade, which I intend to design to be able to pry or dig or chop so it will need all the reinforcement it can get. Good ideas still though

Thanks for the tip :)

The android system..
Make it a smartknife!

what would you put on it?
7 MM Mag.

You don't want any goofy hollow-handle gimmicks.

You want a tang that goes all the way through the handle adding strength and power to the blade.

You don't want any gimmicky serrated edges or anything, the knife will mostly be used like a hatchet.


Stay away from anything huge, fancy looking, or which has Bear Grylls anywhere near it.

If tempered correctly an old bastard file works well.

put a hex receiver in it for screwdriver bits that you can store in it...

a tooth pick

I would try to design a hammer head into it for pounding stakes in the ground and nails into things. You could put it on the base of the handle and turn the whole unit upsidedown to hammer, or down at the tip. maybe even just a flat heavy steel surface at the butt end of the handle would work using it pile driver style.

Numerous times I've wanted to pound somethng or other with mine and tried with the flat of the blade but it never works well. You can't generate any useful force and the shock transmitted to the hand is never pleasant. If you could put one on with good overall balance and not a ton of extra weight, put it up for sale, I'd buy one.

maybe some dental floss too

*droooooool*

Interesting... Ive got a couple ideas as to how this could work but I'd need to test it first. I think I could actually pull that off though. I'll get back to you if I succeed.

Bad ass

Yeah I've heardfiles actually make pretty solid blades. But Im going to need a much wider piece of metal so it would make for a decent shovel and add weight to it. How big of a file do they make?
