World as we know it is about to end, which $100 or less knife would you grab to survive, 4-6" blade length?

If I were certain that the world was about to "end", I wouldn't be worried about price, but I would probably opt for maximum length and strength. A large pointed and sharp object can always be used to make (or acquire) smaller such objects.

6" hands down, KA-BAR-22 is a great beginner knife, but I also would check out the shcrade line as Jim suggested.

Bk22 or the bk10... If you're looking for a great knife at a reduced price look at the schrade schf9... I have all three and all of these knives are beasts

Bk16 or bk7 little bit longer than 6" but great to customize or just get to work

I'd say paracord. It would be less obvious, more versatile, and easier to work with. This is a great carry knife, easily concealed with a very low profile, so whatevet you decide to do with it, should work well.

Be careful of state ordinances for when you do go outside. Local to me, three inches is the max allowed, and this blade is a bit over that. Also look at the Benchmade mini Griptilion, which is an axis flipper, less than three inches, and has a lot of different handle scales available for it. Good luck Greg.

The buck 379 single blade folding knife is 3 inches long, 1/4 th inches thick , 5/8ths of an inch tall. an excellent knife that you can carry in your dress pants-I use mine nearly every day.It holds an edge along time

If you want a good value edc blade with assisted opening and a safety I highly recommend the SOG Mini Aegis. Great blade also light will never know it's there

No, it is not a full tang. It runs out about 1.5 inches away from the butt end of the handle. That being said, unless you are planning on using this thing to beat the living hell out of a rock, I don't think you will have much to worry about. Please let me reiterate a point I made in my review. For the money, this knife is one hell of a deal. I currently have four survival knives: The Gerber Bear Grylls, a Becker BK-2, a Mora and an Ontario Blackbird SK-5. I'm very actively involved in woodcraft/bushcraft. And I really like the Bear Grylls. Now having said that, if I could go back and order something different, I would get the fine blade knife (no serrations). I'm not cutting a lot of rope..so a serration is not something I want. Also, they have a newer version which has not only the fine edge, but also it's full tang construction. It costs a little more money. I think they're about $100 dollars or so. So if full tang is a real priority for you and you want a 3/16" thick one piece survival knife, that's probably how I'd go. Any other questions, just ask. :)

You would need the spec-ops combat master (short) for a 6" blade or less. That would fit your knife

My blade is 3/16" thick x 5 1/4" long. I've taken it on 2 different camping trips, and abused it badly, making baton cuts across 4-6" seasoned hard maple, did quite a bit of splitting, carving, and lots of other things as well.You have one hellofa good survival knife here, I'd trust my life on it

Longest to shortest, from tip of the blade to end of the handle are approximately 10.5", 9", and 6.75". I find every knife a very handy and usable size.

Thank you! The only other knife I've owned was about one inch long. I appreciate your help.

The 0102BRS I have the 119BR and I would not use it but I'm sure some people would but I like a smaller knife to work with so I can get in tighter places with.

Hi. I'd probably use the French Chefs knife for those kinds of things. It has a thicker spine than most of the other knives and it's long enough to deal with the bigger veges like the butternut squash.

Not much. Do not buy S mine the blade comes apart always. Looking for a good one.

I agree with William. I believe it would generally work fine as a survival knife. However, it wouldn't be my first choice if all I was looking for is a survival knife that I was going to use regularly. Look at the Becker by KaBar and the Schrade SCHF9.

It's sitting in my pocket as I type this. Its got a decent blade - razor sharp to start, but I abused it a bit. Its not going to hold an edge like a $80 or $100 knife, but for basic utility? It's excellent. Highly recommend it.

The knife is 9 3/4" long...so, according to the definition of "continental", I would say it is used as a descriptor.

The blade is 4 inches, solidly made with good heft. Would definitely stand up to rough use. However for bush crafting my preference would be a multifunction blade with a hook and/or saw. A beautiful knife.
