The BK range is particularly nice. I have the BK 7, and think it's a very good all-around blade.

So I am watching the two new episodes of Man VS Wild, and the first new episode of the season had a movie star that played in the movie JarHead, and he used the BG fire starter to ignite a cotton ball Bear was holding to get a candle lit.

Episode two shows Bear using this BG knife to cut some parachute cord to make some leg slings to cross a raging river in New Zealand, and getting some grubs out of some dead wood.

Nice to see him actually using his name branded gear on the show.

Meh, product placement. Doesn't mean he actually uses those. Even if they were a pile of crap of course he would use them on the show to plug his product.

Disclaimer: Before you tightwads get all uppity, I am not saying they are or are not crap! I am saying him using them on his show is an obvious "free" plug for his own product. Nothing more. If it were my show I would be waving it around 700 times an episode!

Edit: I have a SOG field pup. I love it. It is light weight and I de-boned two elk with it before needing a sharpening. It even cut right through both breast plates!

The Spyderco Delica 4 has been my EDC pocket knife for several years.
I recently picked up an Esee Izula II and it's a great pocket fixed blade.

They are made in Alabama and have the best warranty I've seen. If it is ever broken, they replace it. Period. It doesn't matter how many owners it goes through or if it is broken doing something stupid. The owners/designers are survival instructors, who teach classes in North and South America. I have a few of their other knives on the way as well as their firekit.

I have used a SOG Seal Pup Elite and Buck 119 for a while now. I just received my Mora 2 knife in the mail yesterday and look forward to it. Obviously it wont be the same and the much larger bladed knives but it will have some advantages over them. Cody Lundin seems to a lot with his small knife but he has a lot of knowledge to know how to do it, I hope to learn some of that,

My EDC is a SOG Flash II Tanto...all black... I love it!

FYI, Amazon is having a huge sale on BG stuff.
I am going to order the first one below as soon as I post this, $30 is not bad.
If you are skeptical of the Parang, read the guy's first review at the link below, and he has a video too.

Gerber 31-000698 Bear Grylls Survival Series Parang, With Nylon Sheath

This one is on sale too for $39, but I already have the Gerber LMF II or I would order this one.

Gerber 31-000751 Bear Grylls Survival Series Ultimate Knife, Serrated Edge

EDC for a while has been a Spyderco Military.

When im at work I Carry a Spyderco Assist

In my pack is a ESSE Izula and a ESSE 3, ESSE MAKES GREAT FIELD BLADES.
In the Truck is an ESSE Junglas.

I have several LMF's and they have been great blades too..

I REALLY WANT A BUSSE and a STRIDER and am saving for both.

Here is my latest knife purchase, a Benchmade 10502. I really like this knife, I took my Lansky to it and it is crazy sharp. I'm carrying this in my hunting pack, looking forward to field dressing an elk with it this fall.
