This is a review and demonstration on the Camillus Pilot Survival Knife. It's also known as the Ontario 499 ASEK. I've added a fire steel rod, paracord, tinfoil, a fishing hook and line, duct tape and reflective tape to the sheath to make it into a survival kit. This knife is heavy for it's size and is handle-heavy. The extra weight is easily justfied by the hammering capability of the butt cap-which is awesome! The blade is 4-7/8" long and is made of 1095 tool steel, which is easy to sharpen. The saw teeth on the spine work well on wire and nails, but fall short on cutting metal and plastic sheeting.The size of the blade and the protective metal casing on the sheath make this a safe choice for all skill levels. The Camillus Pilot Survival Knife is on the "must have" list of many survivalists for three simple reasons: It's a comfortable, safe, and reliable survival tool. Overall I'm very pleased with my knife, and I'm looking forward to more testing in the out-of-doors. I just sold my Camillus 499 to survival instructor Paul Tarsitano of www.savealifeca.com. I'll miss it, but I know Paul will put it to good use.
