ps- the brit MoD survival knife is a WAY overrated bfo lump, the glock is a lot better and far more practical. ( i have both in my collection, yes, i collect sharp pointy things)

k bar or mod survival knife either are very strong and relatively cheap and not to ramboesque.
no point bother with a sawback blade

see you can get without having to talk to a parole officer

10 inch plus blade is a machete if you want to go that route theres always kukhri's to consider

I still have my MOD survival knife at home somewhere. I used to keep it in the bottom of my vehicle bag when on mission in the Balkans as a UN civvie. It came in handy several times, but the multi-tool jobbies are far more useful for everyday stuff.

I bought a sword when my regiment amalgamated, they sold off all their old junk, tried using it once on horse back and nearly f****** myself ,not for the untrained

Oh dear

Soldiers and sharp things...

It will all end in tears, mark my words.

I remember it well - "This knife isn't very sharp...ouch, oh f*ck!"

You would need a 1 litre tin of superglue to glue the Zorro "Z" on your chest!

Who needs knives? Go really retro and carry a lance...............

It sounds to me as though you'd be better off with an axe. Gerber make some nice pack axes with lightweight polymer handles if weight is an issue.
I've got a small Swedish forest axe that I use mostly for chopping firewood at home, but It would fit in your Bergen if you're intent on some real hardcore camping.
