I hate the term "Ultimate" but it seems to be a huge buzz word lately. I was looking through my Sportsman's Guide catalog and came across this:
http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/ultimate-survival-knife.aspx?a=556284
8 1/2" Type 440 (high-carbon Stainless Steel) blade
13" over-all length 1 1/2 lbs (big and heavy, make-shift hatchet?)
Screw cap w/ compass and sealed storage area for emergency tools. (I'd likely move the line and hooks, which don't need a sealed enviornment and replace them with iodine tablets, which do need to stay dry)
plus a compartment for 4 rounds of ammunition, upto 30.06? My normal rifles are .308, but that's the same base and shorter round, so that's good to go.
Also, if the sheath is properly "cord wrapped" and not "cord wrapped and glued in place" you have additional cord in an emergency.
Anyone used one of these? Have comments? Strongly thinking about picking one up, but I'd like to hear other's opinions.
