SHTF knife

[Matt In Oklahoma]

A non folding knife that can skin and butcher a deer and still be usable with very little work. Tough spine but not brittle. Has abilities to use a spear. Must be large enough to get into vitals if used as a weapon. Well balanced and easily sharpened. Quality sheath that locks in with little movement of effort

Yep, you have to have a blade that's tough, but not so hard it has a brittle tip. Thick enough to pry as well as chop. At least 6" blade, kydex sheath, parachord wrapped handle, partially serrated.
