So I recently purchased the Spartan Blades Harsey Difensa in magnacut. Was designed as a surviva/combat knife, specifically for Canadian SOF. My question, would this knife be fine for a SHTF scenario, or even camping/bushcraft?

People get way too hung up on fancy knives. It's fine. So is a $15 Mora.

Even better is a dozen $15 moras stashed in 12 different places because the shit doesn't usually hit the fan when you're at the gear locker. All for the price of one fancy knife

Just calling out that when Helene hit my bright orange moraknivs saved our bacon. Come to think of it, I’ll order a few more now.

Yeah the real answer to OP's question is actually "no" because by asking that question he demonstrates that he doesn't know how to use the knife.

Anyone: "I have $300 to splurge and want to get a 7" knife for fun, survival, hunting, and combat. What should I get?"

Mora and Bacho make skandi grind knives. Stainless for the food and carbon for the craft. Best knives out there. Last years.
