    The Bahco 2448 Chisel Knife and its bother the Bahco 2449 Curved Blade Wrecking Knife look like handy tools where a tough blade is needed.

    You can see most of what I would say from the info on Amazon
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bahco-BAH2448-2448-Chisel-Knife/dp/B003ASVQP2 & http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bahco-2449-SB-2449-Curved-Wrecking/dp/B006XBV1EO/ but you need to handle one to see the full potential. The back of the blade is very heavy and designed to be hit so would make a good log splitter with a suitable hammer (or just another bit of wood).

    I've seen the chisel version in a local hardware shop (not priced) and when I've found the best price I'll be adding one to my kit. 20 and a bit euros doesn't seem to bad.

    I know there are better survival knives about and I have a good few knives but none I'd want to be using regularly in the way that this one is designed for. It could also be reground if you wanted a different shape. The weight is quite low and with other tools like a folding saw it would help make part of a handy tool kit. A chisel is just as illegal to carry around as a knife but its a bit more defendable if you are stopped carrying it as part of a tool kit.

    Note to Mods> If this fits in better with a pre-existing thread then feel free to move it.

    Edit> Cheers for moving the post.
    Checked price in the local hardware and the Bahco 2448 Chisel Knife is €19.99 so I'll probably go back and get it there as I don't see much to be gained buying it online.
