If we entered a time of Civil Unrest/Armageddon/Zombie Attacking, what would we do?

How about a nice Damascus blade? I have had a couple of chats to this chap at various game fairs and he does some lovely stuff.

I have got a bit of a passion to own a Damascus barrelled gun but couldnt afford one so had to make do with a knife-heres one I brought a few years ago.

Not the best quality in the world but makes a fine letter opener.
Have subsequently brought a Damascus muzzle loading fowling piece that sits on the wall of the living room :good:

Falkniven F1 in VG10 or 3G steell from Heinnie. That would fit the bill for you perfectly.

I have an ESEE 4 which IMO is about perfekt both in size & handling . Could be an inspiration of your project OvenPaa ?

Froggy, the ESEE 4 does look quite handy. Next thing is to cut a blank out based on the more common sizes to see what size suits me, both by blade length and hand grip and then take it from there.

Re-
A lot of French preppers/survivalists swear by the Carcajou. Have a look at them. I tried one too briefly to pass a judgement (and I am also not knowledgeable enough) but if I am honest I would have much preferred one to the ESEE as I find them both much prettier and discret but they are also more expensive.
