I'm not a knife guy. I don't know how knives are built, or how to tell a good design from a crap design.
For a "hunting truck" or "hunting backpack" multipurpose big knife for survival, what do y'all think of what is marketed as the "U.S. Air Force survival knife?" A big fixed-blade knife with a round leather-wrapped handle, a saw back, and the scabbard has a pouch for a small sharpening stone (supplied).
Note: This isn't the one with a screw-off butt cap that has a hollow storage compartment in the handle. This handle is solid metal. But, what I don't know is if it's the same integral metal as the blade, or if these are two different metal parts screwed together or spot-welded together (or, these days, even *gasp* glued together).
