The best knife for hunting and survival is the khukuri from Nepal.
Here's a pretty big one:
Here's my actual khukuri:
They come with a sheath that includes anywhere from 3-15 tools that can be used for knife sharpening, cleaning of animals, cleaning of humans, and various other tasks.
Wikipedia has this to say about their usage:
Weaponry
The kukri is effective as both a chopping and a slashing weapon. Because the blade bends towards the opponent, the user need not angle the wrist while executing a chopping motion. Its heavy blade enables the user to inflict deep wounds and to cut through muscle and bone. It has been recorded as being able to cleave a person person's head and halfway through the chest with a single blow. At the base of the blade is a notch called the cho. Symbolising a lingam, its primary purpose is to serve as a blood drip during combat. The wielder could also extend their forefinger over the cho and flick the blood at their opponent's eyes in a technique called "Vishnu finger". In India the kukri sometimes incorporates a Mughal-style hilt in the fashion of the talwar but the plainer traditional form is preferred in Nepal.
Utility
While most famed from use in the military, the kukri is most commonly used as a multipurpose tool and is a very common agricultural and household implement in Nepal. Its use has varied from building, clearing, chopping firewood, and digging to cutting meat and vegetables, skinning animals, and opening tins.
Fun fact:
The best khukuris (like the pair shown above) are made from Mercedes leaf springs harvested from junkyards.
So not only is it the best knife, it's also the most eco-friendly as well!
If you're interested in purchasing some for yourself, we bought ours here:
We researched and visited most of the khukuri houses in Thamel (yes, I KNOW there are hundreds). This is the best. He shipped them to the U.S. and they arrived in perfect condition. The son speaks perfect English and translated our favorite saying into Nepalese for us to have engraved onto our knives. I think he went to school in the US or UK. Good people. Good products.
