Only one Rolex/watch and one knife

[leopardprey]

For a survival knife:

Take a small camp axe and a multi tool (leatherman or swiss army) if in a forested area.

Jungle area, take a Machete and a multi tool

Desert, take a US Army Entrenching Tool and a Multi Tool Knife


.

Also a good 3-3.5 inch folder, with a good drop point blade for skinning would be very handy.

If you really want a "Hollow Handle" Survival knife, check out Chris Reeve. I have a old one originally made back in the mid 80s in South Africa that I filled the hollow handle with a mini swiss army knife and fishing gear and wrapped the handle in Para cord.

One of the best survival kits I have that has been the one staple to accompany me on all my overseas trips over the last 12 years, is a Swiss Army Survial Kit. This is a two pouch pouch that has a Swiss Army Champion knife in one pouch and then other pouch has a survival kit (fishing kit, first aid, compass, whistle, mirror, and a few other things) Also attached to the pouch is a small mini-mag flashlight and a sharpening stone. Very useful tool. Bought at the Victorinox store in Hong Kong.

Nice Knife Erix!!! Love the Sheath!

Erix, have you checked out any Citadel Knives in France?

Couple French guys have a small company, Citadel, and have them hand made in Cambodia. Went to their factory showroom, just a small shiop, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Very nice knives and swords they make!

Born a Finn, always a Finn, when in dire need always go for the Puuko-knife made at the polar circle.

Can't walk around with this one unless I am in the woods for one reason or another, so I have a Wenger swiss knife Evolution Grip
as my daily pocket-knife.

I live in France but haven't seen any Citadel knives around.
I just googled to have a looksie..seems nice, I have closer look next time I am at my favorite knife-shop.

Sub Date and Randall 18 with a 5 1/2 inch blade.

However, today I wore my SD and carried my Chris Reeve Sebenza in my pocket.

It is a really unique history to see how Randall developed the model 18 with the input from a Search and Rescue Air Crew Member who was in Veitnam at the time, in 1945/65 time frame.

The two classic amongst warriors in the Vietnam war, a Randall and a Rolex. Can't do better than that!

Subfiend, you know what I like most about the Sebenzas? That positive locking sound you get when they are locked opened!

Amen brother. I bought two Sebenzas in May, a large and small. I sold the large one already because it was too large to carry every day, even though I really loved it. I may buy one of the other CR folders (Mnandi?) with an exotic wood inlay, but not just yet.

Meanwhile, my 10 year old son (who already claimed my Randall 18) tried to claim my Sebenza to use at camp. I had to put my foot down. I will probably get him either a Kershaw or SOG folder, or the CR Airman, instead.

Not quite, you're 'allowed', at the discretion of the police, a folding pen knife with a blade less than 3". You cannot carry a fixed-blade knife nor one with a locking mechanism.
So a middle-aged guy like me with a Victorinox SAK is not likely to get hassled.
You are also allowed to carry a knife other than the 3" blade if you can demonstrate that it is used as one of your essential business tools. For instance, if you're a chef you can take your 9" butcher's knife to work and back.

Back to the OP; it's my one and only Explorer for me with the aforementioned SAK and essential corkscrew and bottle opener attachments!
