Isn't the choice of a "survival knife" (cutting tool) based on your geographical environment? I'm not casting stone on artic comments because you can surely suffer similar risks with hypothermia from exposure right here on the Gulf though onset time is longer. Survival Tool is in fact a starting point and not the "limit" on what you will build/have in the future. There are several ways to make fire without striking sparks, degree of difficulty applies as does availability of combustibles materials. I don't think raw bluber will ignite from spark, processed into oil it might. Spermaceti from a whale/dolphin skull is already waxy and may burn upon exposure to flame, IDK? Like a lot of folks, I've flame tanked a grill from melted fat and flame. Lol
In a survival mode are we going to be concerend for aesthetic of appearance of our tiny or large fish? Same with game small and large, no rule against cutting a wider buffer zone around the brown eye. Sharp will allow precision when patience is applied, no matter what the blade size is.
In that geo environment do we consider just the flora and fona or automatically include man and further as a threat? The predatory Man factor essentially eliminates intellectual superiority that augments our physical limitations when dealing with normal flora/fauna issues. This in turn becomes the priority in survival tool choice. Without a Man factor, I could do fine with a Leatherman multitool. With the Man factor included, a more substantial weapon or the time and resources to make them is needed.
The geo location, in the here and now: will also frame what can be scavanged locally and that will also define what the Survival tools requirement are.
Just food for thought on a wide topic.
