probably because I watch too many of those survival shows…
and it looked cool
I was in TN visiting family and went to the Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville. Just looking around and came across this survival knife at a REALLY good price. I said “What the heck, the meanwifeboss isn’t with me.” So I bought the Schrade schf17. A titanium coated high carbon stainless tanto style blade with …blah, blah, blah…
Anyone else have one of these types of man toys we don’t really need? What cutting, chopping, skinning tools are you folks going to face Armageddon with?

Love it. Short enough to fit in my backpack but heavy and long enough to handle 3" branches in 1-3 swings. Came with a nice case with a lot of straps on it, a sharpener, and fire starter. Comfortably grip. Got it off Amazon probably.
Quite possible, I haven’t battoned yet. But it is a 1/4 think blade, it’s pretty stout. Some video reviews I looked at showed battoning with no damage, but it might over time. If so, well I spent less than an Andrew Jackson on it.
I looked at one like yours at SMKW, nice feel to it, but I already have a pretty good machete type blade.
Does this purchase have anything to do with your recently announced obsession over Christina Hendricks? We need to know right now before going any further.

Pertinent question.
“Apathy is the Glove into Which Evil Slips It’s Hand”, but really, who cares?
I’ve been into ESSEE knives for a while. Some of my favorite bush knives. Got the ESSEE 6 and an Izulla II. They used to go by R.A.T. Knives. Very stout. Lifetime warranty no questions asked. Can pretty much use them for anything you want. Check them out, pricey but worth it.
