The Survivor was designed to be a fairly compact minimalist survival knife and it's the real deal. It has a solid full tang design and the G-10 handle is ready to take plenty of abuse. The notch in the back of the blade acts as a striker for the included magnesium alloy fire starter. The Kydex sheath mounts easily to a pack or belt and holds the fire starter and four feet of cord. It can even be fashioned into a spear with the included cord.
