Each of my bug out bags have a standard KBAR in a leather sheath.

And a Kershaw Blackout serrated.

I'm sure there are better things out there, but these have worked well for me.

Glock field knife (black without the root saw) for hunting or camping.
I'm considering the cold steel recon tanto as an additional outdoor knife.
In town or at work it's a variety of folders (spyderco, crkt, etc). Also currently trying out a small boot knife from Smith and Wesson.

They are more collectors than battle knives, but the Mark II I have is definitely my favorite. Close second is my Emerson CQC-10 wave, and my Gerber LMF ranks fairly high as well.

Why do you say that? The thinkness of the blade has very little to do with its ability to cut well. Now the ability of a given knife to hold an edge would make it more or less desireable. But the ability of a knife to cut well has more to do with the honer than the knife.

My bad, I thought this thread was about Combat knives that could be used for Combat or general purposes in a combat roll.
You are correct that thin knives cut through some items better than others. For example: A scalpel cuts through tissue with fantastic ease, but no one would use it to cut down a sapling or tree branch with one.
As well as some types of edges are better suited than others for doing one task than others, like hollow ground, straight edges, chissel ground, serations, and wedge shaped to name a few. All of these have ther pro's and con's.
As I said, I must have misunderstood the nature of the thread. No disrespect intended.

Wondering that myself. I have a Strider GG SS with gunner grips. http://www.tadgear.com/edged tools/gg_ss.htm It does what it's suppose to and looks good while it's doing it. I used to use a Kabar D2 extreme but upgraded to the Strider. Before that, when I was a kid and didn't know any better I had (gasp) ... Cold Steels.
