==Overview==<br />
A rare variant of the [[Hunting Knife]] that is only acquired when trading with the [[Trader]], the Survival Knife boasts impressive stats for its rarity. Its edge is serrated, allowing it to do more damage in a [[Struggle]] while also allowing it to perform [[Carcass Harvesting]] faster than a normal knife. The tradeoff is that it is a little bit heavier than a normal Hunting Knife, but an added bonus of this knife is its increased durability, making it a must have for long term survival games.<br />
<br />
Knives have number of uses: harvesting gut, hide and meat from [[Wildlife|animal]] carcasses, as well as [[Cloth]] and [[Tinder Plug|Tinder Plugs]]. It may also serve as a makeshift [[Can Opener]] to avoid spillage, or to break through iced-over fishing holes for [[Ice Fishing]], and as a self-defense weapon during wolf attacks.<br />
<br />
It is not obtainable in [[Interloper]].<br />
<br />
== Location ==<br />
It can appear as a potential trade when trading with the [[Trader]], Sutherland, after completing Special Request #3. It is possible for the Trader to offer multiple Survival Knives across trades.<br />
<br />
== Differences from the Hunting Knife ==<br />
The Survival Knife is by far the best Knife in the game, but the Cougar Claw Knife still bests it in some categories.<br />
* More damage than the [[Hunting Knife]] in a [[Struggle]] (damage values are in-between a Hunting Knife and [[Cougar Claw Knife]]).<br />
* It has the fastest frozen meat harvesting speed of any knife. <br />
* Other harvesting speeds are the same as the hunting knife.<br />
*<br />
* Twice as much durability.<br />
* 0.25 Kg heavier (same as the [[Improvised Knife]]).<br />
* Has the same crafting times as Hunting Knife.<br />
<br />
== Harvesting ==<br />
Harvesting the knife gives 1 [[Scrap Metal]] after 45 minutes.<br />
<br />
== Repairing ==<br />
The knife can be repaired using a [[Whetstone]] and the [[Sharpening]] skill, restoring 3% condition to the tool and using 5% condition on the Whetstone. The [[Milling Machine]] in [[Bleak Inlet]] or [[Blackrock]] may repair a non-ruined knife to 100% condition for one Scrap Metal, during an active [[Aurora]].<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* The name of this knife is related to the various [[Prepper Cache|Prepper Caches]] on the Island, and it may be possible that this knife originally belonged to Sutherland's brother Wyatt.<br />
** If so, Wyatt may have ordered several surplus Knives for survival reasons (possibly for his friends and family or as backups). This may also be the reason why Sutherland has so many to trade.<br />
* At the end of [[Episode 5: The Light At The End Of All Things]], [[Mathis]] briefly wields a Survival Knife.<br />
