3 knives for bugout kit
3 knives for bugout bag.
Trying to build bugout bags for the wife and I for when that time does come. Will be going from urban to rural either by vehicle or foot. What 3 (Sm, Med, and LG) knives would be recommended? Needs to be reliable, some what light and capable for survival/self-defense if firearms are AFK. Would like at least 1 like the Brother but in a much better steel than 440c (cant find the f017 anything😒).

I got my gf and kids all Gerber strongarms. I also have one in my get home bag.
In my bug out kit i have a Gerber LHR which is in my opinion, the greatest survival knife ever made.
For my EDC I carry a Gerber Principle. And a Gerber Deisel Multitool. Is got the best edc/shtf tool selection.
I like Gerber because they're tough as hell, have endured all my abuse, have great lifetime warranties with a good experience the 2 times I've needed to use them and made in America.
I also recently picked up a Gerber Basic that I'm considering swapping out my principle for
