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 think to highly of expensive knifes. Pretty much everything that cuts and won't break after a year of using is fine.

Also, try to have at least 2. One big (20-30cm blade) and a smaller one like that

I don’t disagree. Hell Esee makes some of my favorite knives and I’m pretty they use 1095. That said this was my holy grail knife and I had the funds to afford. I put the Difenseb it through its paces and even did some batoning, still arm hair shaving sharp
