Field/Survival/Bush/Whatever Knife

[Irish]

The knife in "The Hunted" was by Dave Beck, not T.O.P.S.

And Ed Lombi hand crafted the original design, who cares? It's still the same basic knife that has had slight improvements made by each of the 3 makers. So in essence yes it was the same knife in The Hunted.

If I could have one and only one knife it would be my RAT-5.

Why don't you fellas take your pissing match elsewhere!?

Back to the topic at hand!

you are correct sir

IMO the one and only true "Survival" Knife... hosts of others that do the job fine... but wilderness survival is the Trackers bread and butter... what it was designed and purpose built to do... not just cutting or stabbing... but chopping, splitting, sawing, whittling, breaking... anything you may encounter in a survival situation from a downed helo to a bear attack....

I know 2 of the guys who worked on the set of that movie, one of who worked with Tom Brown at his school for years.

All of them think that thing is a joke, and really just something flashy to put on the big screen. I sincerely doubt that even Tom Brown uses that thing himself when he teaches.

I've handled one of the prototypes to it, and it's just a beast that no-one wants to carry around with them. Someone who knows what they're doing can probably use a $10 Mora more effectively.

I am currently working with Justin Gingrich designing custom bushcraft knives for me and the wife. I'll keep anyone who's interested posted on progress.

Please do so. I'd be very interested in what you gentlemen come up with.

I started another thread with the status of my Gingrich knives here:

I don't have a pic of it by itself, but this would likely be my "one knife" and my "one tool". It is a custom set that I had made by the Khukuri House of Nepal.

The knife is based on their Churi design, I just made a few cosmetic changes to make it match the Khukuri a bit better. That Khukuri is the single most valuable implement that I have ever had on a camping trip.

I've got a Gerber LMF II. It's comfortable and easy to handle and I think it'd get me through 99%+ of situations I can think of. But with that being said, I'm not the most knowledgable knife officiando around.

Randall Model 18 - 7 1/2".

Me too, since 1980........ Although I also have a RAT 3 (before they were EESE) on my survival kit.

Every class I took he was using one. But it's big and a lot of people want something a little smaller that's why they developed the smaller models.
