Big fixed-blade survival knifes are pretty misunderstood tools. As cool as it is to think about wrestling a bear and killing it with only a combat knife, providing enough meat for months, that just isn’t really the case. Unless you're Leo DiCaprio of course, and your friend call you "The Revenant". This kind of knife is actually an important multi-tool for surviving in the wilderness. Use it for batoning wood, without having to carry around a hatchet. Cook and prepare food with it. Use it as a hammer, and to help start fires. This knife will be your best friend in the wild.
