If you are looking for an all-rounded and multi-functional knife for use in the outdoors or survival situations, you will come no closer to that knife than the Victorinox Outdoor Knife 4.75" Blade.
While manufactured and distributed by Victorinox, this knife is actually a creation under Survival Outdoor School (SOS) (http://www.gosos.com). The designer, Christof Hagen, who founded and instructor of SOS, is the local Swiss expert when it comes to survival.
This knife was designed to do everything you need outdoors including creating fire, building a shelter, outdoor cooking, game processing and wood working (carving wood to create useful items from raw wood).
This knife comes at a 20 degree hollow grind, delivering a sharp edge out of the box. It is handsomely given a Olive Wood handle and the steel is made from a INOX-1-42-MOVA, a type of stainless steel.
