I buy them 5 at a time, cause I lose several knives a year. they are a tremendous value at that price. Not bad at taking/keeping an edge, has a beltclip, too. For shtf, I have an SOG Multitool, but it is a bit heavy bulky/expensive. for everyday carry. It would have to be in a pocket sheath, lanyarded to my belt, to prevent loss, for shtf use.
