M40's 10 Cent Survival Knife Is it a high end blade? Ummm... not really. Here's a better picture: Okay, so it's a piece of a hacksaw blade. When I reviewed Ranger Rick's survival necklace, I had modified the included piece of hacksaw blade into a shave-sharp mini blade to make it more useful. Hacksaw blades are VERY hard, high-carbon steel. Making the 10 Cent Survival Knife The pack of blades I got had 4 coarse, and 3 each of the medium and fine teeth. Using a pair of pliers, you should be able to easily snap the blade without bending it. Using the 10 Cent Survival Knife Good Luck!

How to Put Together the Ultimate Survival Kit Would you be willing to stake your life on your survival kit? I would. There are so many debates when it comes to the perfect survival kit. My entire kit is based off of three tiers — one that I carry with me, one that I keep in my car (and sometimes on me), and one that is in my home ready to go in a moments notice if I had to bug out. The Three-Tiered Survival Kit First Tier: This ‘kit’ includes those items that you have with you at all times. Folding Knife: If you’ve ever been in a survival situation (planned or not) you know how essential a knife is. While I would at the least recommend the Essential 3, there are a few other items you may want to consider carrying as part of your EDC (Every Day Carry) Gear or first Tier. Coin Sized Compass: These are those small, coin-sized compasses you see in many mini survival kits. The key to the first-tier kit is to incorporate it as much as possible with what you wear. Second Tier: Fixed Knife: In other words, non-folding. Third Tier: Conclusion
