I agree, our definitions seem to agree. Though it has happened to me twice, I will rarely be in a true survival situation where I am stranded and my only hope is to be rescued. More than likely, they are situations where I am capable of getting myself out of trouble with some effort and discomfort.
I use the Gerber LMF II ASEK knife, which has worked out perfectly for my needs. At about 5 inches long, it's not too big, not too small, and it feels very substantial in the hand. I have not used the CRKT knife that you use, Aussie, but I imagine that they share some pretty similar attributes. It's also nice and thick, so ive used it as a pry bar. Another big plus is the sharpener in the sheath, which came in handy when it got dull chopping firewood (its not a great chopper, but will work when the need arises.
Like I said, our knives share a lot of similar pluses and minuses. It seems that we share a pretty similar definition. We all can't be RYP running off to dangerous places haha
