My Pick For the Top Three Military Survival Knives Available

!±8± My Pick For the Top Three Military Survival Knives Available

The modern military survival knife has its origins at around the turn of the last century. A man by the name of Webster Marbles created the first modern style hunting knife and survival knives have taken their queue from that first hunting knife. Up until that time most hunting knives were little more than kitchen knives and survival knives were bayonets. Neither worked very well for the task at hand.

The military started buying survival knives in bulk and worked with the manufacturers to get the best possible knife for their troops. For instance, the saw teeth on the back of the blade were originally put there so that a downed pilot could cut his way through the thin metal of the fuselage.

In the 1980's military survival knives saw a resurgence with the release of the Rambo movies. Although these knives worked well in the movies, they couldn't hold up to the rigors of the real world environment.

The following are some of the best knife companies and knives available today:

1. Gerber manufactures the LMF II series of knives. These knives have been approved by the U.S. Airforce as an ASEK knife. ASEK stands for Aviation Support Element, Kaneohe.

2. S.O.G. manufactures the SEAL 2000 knife which has been approved for use by the U.S. Navy SEALS.

3. Ka-Bar has been making the USMC Fighting/Utility knife since the mid 1920's. This knife was approved for use by the U.S. Marines.

Knife technology has come a long way from man's first knives made out of flint. Rubberized handles, better blade materials, and even built in features make today's knives some of the most incredible tools and weapons man has ever created.

The SOG Seal Pup Elite Vs The Gerber LMF II ASEK - Which One is a Better Survival Knife?

!±8± The SOG Seal Pup Elite Vs The Gerber LMF II ASEK - Which One is a Better Survival Knife?

First up is the Gerber LMF II. Whether you are talking about the ASEK, the Survival, or the Infantry versions of this knife, they are all the same except for the accessories they come with and the colors. (There is one small exception which is the IR resistance built into the Foliage Green knife.)

The Gerber LMF II knife has holes in the handle to allow it to be lashed to a staff for making a spear. The butt cap is solid and can be used for hammering, breaking glass, or as a blunt bludgeoning weapon. It has a section of the blade that is serrated which makes for quick cutting of rope or small limbs for tinder.

One draw back to the serrated section is sharpening. In an extended survival situation without the proper sharpener this area of the blade could become dull.

Next up is the SOG Seal Pup Elite. I like this knife because of the size and weight. The overall length is 9.5 inches. It is a very light knife as it weighs in at 5.4 oz., compared to the Gerber LMF II that weighs over twice as much at 11.4 oz.

The SOG Seal Pup Elite doesn't feel heavy if strapped to your lower leg, something that would be difficult with the Gerber LMF II. However, the SOG Seal Pup Elite is not as versatile in the field as the Gerber LMF II. It is extremely good at being a light quick weapon, and it is definitely up to whatever cutting tasks can be thrown at it. This knife can be bought with or without the serrated section which is not an option with the Gerber LMF II.

Basically it comes down to what you are looking for in a survival knife. If I had to pick one knife to take with me into a survival situation it would be the Gerber LMF II. But if I could take two, I would take the SOG Seal Pup Elite along as a weapon.
