|  Swiss Army vs. Classic Blade
What do you think the better choice would be for camping and survival: to use a Swiss Army knife or some usual bigger blade knife?

I never go into the wild without my Swiss Army Ranger, it's incredible. But, and this is a big but, I also bring my strong big blade because you can't expect a lot of power from a small blade like Swiss Army's.

Personally if I had to choose, even though I do like Swiss Army knifes, I think I would have to go with one of my big blades.
It is not about the tool, but that hand that welds it.

Yup that is right. Swiss Army knife, although legendary, can break if you force it too much. That is why big blades are more reliable.

Swiss Army. Not saying I would not take an extra just in case, but I have been brought up around so many Swiss Army fans if I did not have one you could bet I would be getting a beating when I returned home.

I was in the same situation as a kid as well. Swiss Army seemed more as a cult than some ordinary group of fans.

I would take the Swiss! Then again it all depend on how you are using it. I always have at least three knives on me when in the field and two on the street
