im looking for a good survival/utility knife. the three i am looking at are the SOG seal team elite. the SCHF6: Extreme Survival knife and the Schrade SCHF1SM Extreme Survival. in your experience and/or opinion which knife is the best.
Out of the 3 you've listed, I'd go with the SOG. It's a solid knife, but a bit over priced for what you get IMO. AUS8 isn't the best steel out there, especially for a survival or utility knife. Personally, I would choose an original Ka-Bar, or a Becker Knife and Tool over these three. You'd get a lot more knife for your money and a much tougher knife. Ka-Bar knives have a long history of being a tough, dependable, high quality survival knife. Becker knives are designed by Ethan Becker, but made by Ka-Bar in the USA. IMO, these are much better survival knives than SOG or Schrade.
Take a look at the Ka-Bar and Becker knives
