A survival knife is your most important tool when caught in a wilderness survival situation. While it's true that you can probably fashion a knife out of stone, bone, or scrap metal when you are out in the boonies, there's nothing that compares to the steel blade for its strength, versatility and usefulness. Look for a "non-folding" fixed blade knife with a full tang, with A2 rated carbon steel.

Gransfors Bruks Axes
Quite Simply The Best Axe/Hatchets out there:
This axe is the same size as the Hunter's Axe, but has a more traditional pattern and poll. The blade is thin. The handle is long enough to allow powerful chopping but not too long so it will fit into a rucksack, the back of a car or a boat. Practical for splitting small sticks for the fire or cutting small-diameter limbwood for starter fuel in a fireplace.
The axe has a 3 1/4" face and a 19" hickory handle and the head weighs 1 1/2 lb.
It comes with a grain-leather sheath.
