If you're going to be in a life-or-death situation, you want to have the best survival knife with you. Of course, different knives have their pros and cons that make them suitable for different situations. However, there are some features that any survival knife should have in order to be dependable and effective for the widest variety of situations.
With that in mind, here is my list of the 10 best survival knives that are available to the modern outdoorsman:

Made of stainless laminate VG10 custom steel, the Forest S1 can handle a lot of abuse and still remain standing - a characteristic that certainly qualifies this knife as one of the best survival knives. It's razor sharp and, due to its convex ground blade, has amazing edge retention. Designed specifically for wilderness survival, you can easily perform small, detailed tasks as well as heavy duty ones such as hammering and batoning.

This knife can best be described in three words: sturdy, sharp, and strong. It can withstand some pretty good bashing and still last for a long time. And though it is a bit heavier than other knives, the aggressive contouring on the handle and the large finger grooves provide a secure grip. All in all, it should be quite useful to anyone who needs a dependable survival knife.

8. CRKT Elishewitz FTWS Razor Edge 2060
This durable, highly efficient knife was made by a top-notch craftsman - Allen Elishewitz. The tip is thick and strong enough that it won't easily break but also won't hinder penetration. And though it weighs a bit heavy, it's quite easy to wield. Lastly, it has a chisel ground edge at the blade’s back for chopping so you won't dull the fine edge due to the heavy stuff.
