Or a budget chainsaw.

Those can come in handy for defending oneself, at those times that logs attack.

Chainsaw needs fuel & oil though, so that costs extra, and makes the chainsaw all but worthless without them.

A "2000".

Top of the line. It can take on a T-101 model Terminator.

Broadening the topic a little, any thoughts on the best 2-4 knives to have for the full range of knife purposes? We’ve had a lot of best pistol/rifle/shotgun threads, but I can’t think of one for knives.

No rules:

- best value or expensive but great
- doubles as a machete or small and easy to carry
- holds an edge forever or so cheap you don’t mind losing it
- great for one purpose or a jack of all trades knife.
- a specific model or a brand that’s uniformly exceptional

No, I don’t have an answer to my own question. That’s part of why I’m asking.

If I melted down all the KBAR’s I broke in just EOD alone I could make a Anvil.....:o)

Thats great for cutting throats and kidneys but ain’t worth a flyin fook as a all round cutting, slicing, digging, prying, opening kilos of weed, cocaine, steel band on munitions crates and IED/UXO render safe implement .

Honestly .... we were tough on demolition tools etc. Dressed out last years Elk and Mule Deer with the Randall 14. I’m not kidding. We abused issued blades a lot.

1911A1 ....we agree ...:o)

I’m with you, Joe...BK7 or BK9...You’re “Good to go!”

Then spend the difference on ammo...

Just took delivery of a pair of Estwing tomahawks. Don’t know why, just thought they may come in handy someday. They live next to the spare tires in our vehicles.

Have you seen the Swiss Army Rescue Tool? Picked up pair of those at silly cheap cost. Straight into the BOB they went. Not your dads Swiss Army knife.
