Is this a good survival knife?

I'm not looking for a mini knife. I want something that has everything i need to survive in the wilderness- Something to skin fur with/cut branches/catch fish/cook fish w/ matches/ and a compass. I dont think anyone could survive with a foldable pocketknife. I'm talking about a nine incher with an emergency survival kit. If you dont think this one is fine than throw me a few links you think are good. The price cant be really high please. I want a razor sharp blade.
Save your money on that knife, they are cheap junk knives. Remember you get what you pay for. I have several "survival" knives. All the Rambos (collectible) but I wouldn't take them in the field. Unless I had a real LILE one, mine are copies. Nice to look at and feel but thats it. Sure they will cut you and slice and dice you but not good in the field. For heavy chopping look for a older Buckmaster 184, you will not beak it. Also the 184 has a hollow handle you are looking for. Or a Gerber BMF / LMF knife. Those are two that will not let you down. Take a pocket knife with you all the time. A large survival knife is lousy for skinning a rabbit or gutting a fish. Sure you can tie it to a stick and kill a wild boar and all that but you will be smart to go after a rabbit or bird to live on in the wild. If it comes to that.

What are the California knife laws for Bowie knives?
I have a beautiful, Winchester bowie knife, and was wondering if it would be legal for me to carry it unconcealed (it's pretty hard to canceal a 7" knife) in public in Southern California (not L.A.). NO, I am not taking it to school!
Other than laws prohibiting the possession of knives in schools or public buildings, the possession of switch blades, and the possession of CONCEALED dirks or daggers (which includes almost all fixed-blade knives), there are no state laws regulating knife possession in California. Note that a knife openly carried in a belt sheath is not concealed.
You should check, however, whether there is any applicable local ordinance.

Bowie Hunting
Today, there are hundreds of blades shapes available to do a variety of tasks. Each one is a compromise combining differing degrees of efficiency and utility. Let's discuss some of the most common blade shapes.
One of the most common blade shapes is the drop point blade. Drop point blades do most everything well. The tip of the blade is narrow and has some curvature for fine slicing when doing chores such as cleaning game. The drop point also works well in gardening or in the kitchen.
Another popular blade style is the clip point. The clip point is also popularly known as the bowie-style blade. Clip point knives have a fine tip that is less ideal for fine cutting but penetrates well for poking holes in tough materials such as heavy nylon or leather. The clip point blade usually also has less curvature at the edge which makes it less useful for many everyday cutting tasks.
A less common blade shape is the sheepsfoot. The sheepsfoot blade has a blunt tip so is suited only for cutting. It is popular with botanists and gardeners for grafting because it makes a clean, straight cut. Sheepsfoot blades are usually only used in smaller sized knives.
A blade style that has gained in popularity during the last couple decades is the hawkbill. As the name implies, the blade is shaped like a hawk's bill or talon. Many times these blades are serrated for use in maritime environments for cutting ropes or other lines. There use is otherwise very limited.
The tanto is also a common blade shape. It is identified by the geometric shape of its' tip. Tanto blades are known for being able to take abuse due to maintaining their full blade thickness near the tip. That translate into a blade that can take heavy prying and stabbing without sustaining serious damage.
That covers the most popular blade shapes but there are a myriad of them. It is best to identify what activity the blade will be used for and then choose the shape that best meets your need.

Rambo Knife
The following article was the topic of many discussions among fellow martial artists. It presented us with a tough question. “how can you defend yourself if the following happened to you?” [read the article below]
WINNIPEG, Manitoba - A passenger sleeping on a Greyhound bus was killed and decapitated by his seatmate on Wednesday night as the vehicle rolled across the Canadian prairies, witnesses said.
“All of a sudden, we all heard this scream, this bloodcurdling scream,” said Garnet Caton, who was sitting just in front of the victim, in an interview with CBC Television.
“The attacker was standing up right over top of the guy with a large hunting knife — a survival, Rambo knife — holding the guy and continually stabbing him, stabbing him, stabbing him in the chest area,” Caton said.
The attack continued as other passengers fled the bus and waited for police on a desolated stretch of the TransCanada Highway near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, said Caton, who helped bar the bus door to prevent the
attacker from leaving.
‘No rage in him’
“He calmly walks up to the front (of the bus) with the head in his hand
and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in
front of us,” Caton said.
“There was no rage in him … It was just like he was a robot or
something,” Caton said.
Caton said the victim was stabbed up to 50 times. CBC reported the Royal Canadian Mounted Police took the attacker into
custody.
Authorities declined to provide other details of what they described as a
“major incident.”

Now when I entered a Martial Arts forum and discussed with others how to defend yourself against this form of attack there seemed to be a lot of silence. Being how grizzly this attack is, it’s not wonder.
Some members in the forum said, “you must pack a gun” I agree with having a gun, knowing how to use it, and use it if necessary. But “you must pack a gun” does NOT solve the problem if you’re in a deep sleep in public and
suddenly someone begins to stab you and saw your head off.
Another member said you “must train for situations that are hostile” I agree with that too, but still it does NOT solve the problem.
The only advice in the forum I saw that had any merit was the member that said “you cannot put yourself in that situation. Think about it, ANYTHING can happen to you if you fall asleep in public. It doesn’t matter if the crime rate is high or low and it’s in the middle of the day.”
Now this man, I totally agreed with him. Sadly we live in a world where you cannot (or should not) leave your windows unlocked, your doors unlocked, and in this case, fall asleep in public.
Even if you’re exhausted from work, and dead tired, I know it sucks but stay awake! The only exceptions I can think of is if you’re on the beach
sun bathing.
And if I were on the train that day, yes, I would have emptied my clip into him. I would want anyone that attacked me to do the same. Even if I had no chance of survival I would still want someone coming to my aid unlike all the passengers there in Canada. They all ran in terror.
Another member was wondering if in Canada perhaps guns are banned. I looked it up for myself and here’s what I found:
[ By law, a potential customer must be 18 years of age or older to purchase a firearm or legally maintain possession of one. Citizens of Canada under the age of 18 but over the age of 12 may procure a Minor’s Licence which does not allow them to purchase a firearm but allows them to borrow a firearm unsupervised and purchase ammunition.]
But even if you did not want to own a gun, you can still protect yourself with a taser.
Its incapactation rate is equivalent to a 9mm handgun. There is no excuse to NOT defend you or your fellow citizens if something like this happens in your presence.
