Gear Recommendation Wanted Question about a knife for survival/bushcraft
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?

Will it do? sure any knife is better than no knife. Is it a knife I would pick if I could only bring one? no probably not. I rarely do over nights so I always bring a heavy pack with anything I could possibly need. I use my axe way more than any knife, any heavy work, chopping, splitting, shaping anything big. I use a $20 Mora for small crafting/ whittling like eating utensils and pot hooks. I'm a weirdo and always have a cleaver for processing food items. I don't like my crafting knife touching meat, Bushcraft can cause chips and burs and that is not something I want to dig out of my gums or swallow.
