Hey everyone, i am looking for a strong, sturdy knife that can be put under a good deal of stress. I am thinking of one of these two, please tell me what you think. If you have any other suggestions please let me know.

In my experience, most of the so called "Survival knives" are of pretty poor quality. I would suggest either a KABAR (around $40), or a name brand (Mossberg and S&W make excellent Knives) knife for overall use. Of the two you picked out on Ebay, I would probably go with the 59 dollar one, looks more sturdy to me, but hard to tell from just a picture.

Hello, i am about to purchase a knife for camping and god forbid, survival. i was intrigued by bowie Knives, as they have a rich history and are kind of proven as a reliable knife. i was wondering if in a survival situation, i could pull through with such a large knife to help me. or, are they simply too big to actually help me
As said a Bowie knife is a fighting knife. It can be used as a survival knife but arguably its not the best for the job.
In a survival situation you need a knife that can be used to work with wood, be able to skin animals and butcher them, as defence, be able to attach to a pole for a spear, have a thick full tang blade strong enough to pry with (like opening clam shells), pound with (driving in a stake for a snare) and made of quality steel.
I have spent a great deal of time in the wilderness alone applying survival skills I learned over the decades. I carry a few knives. One is large with a 8 inch blade with a full tang thick blade for defense and chopping plants, cutting wood to build a shelter and for skinning out large animals like moose. The next knife has a 4 inch blade for doing small work. And a pocket knife with 3 blades for very fine work and to skin out small animals like rabbits and such.
I found my big carry fixed blade knife is seldom used compared to the smaller knives. But I don’t want to tangle with a mountain lion with a pocket knife!
One reason to carry more than one knife is if something happens to it such as it fell in a river, broke or simply lost, you still have another knife.
Here is a link discussing what makes a good survival knife;

If you do go with a Bowie knife get one with a full tang NOT a tapered hidden tang, the later is more likely to fail on you.
I would say from personal experience a 6 inch blade is the most useful all around length that works for most situations.
