I get asked quite often “What are your favorite fixed blade knives?”. This is a tricky question because if I have a choice, I grab the knife that’s the best fit for the job.

Have you already selected your SHTF machete or camping machete? A machete has many uses and you should consider the right one for your area or bug out location.

Many of us can barely afford our day to day lives, so finding a decent yet, economically pricedsurvival knife, is sometimes an unreachable goal. We all see the slick looking $500 survival knives out there, but that’s not realistic for many of us. Is there a reliable, budget survival knife for us “budget preppers”?

I was looking for a decent EDC (Every Day Carry) knife that wouldn’t break the bank. As a parent I also wanted some emergency tools like a seat belt cutter and a window breaking tool. The Smith and Wesson SWFR2S Extreme Ops Knife fits that bill perfectly.
