What's the best "survivalist" knife out there?

There are so many kinds of survival knives out there, I get confused. Carbon steel knives, stainless etc... What's the best kind out there, who makes it, how much $$ does it cost and where do I get it (online, Army Navy store etc)?

Most websites recommend carbon steel or stainless steel survival knives. start a fire, Carbon steel knife is better than Stainless steel knives. Also, they are easier to sharpen. Stainless steel will not get rust.So they are good in wet conditions.
A good survival knife should be 4 or 5 inches long. The handles must be easy and comfortable to grip in all weather conditions. Good blade thickness is of between "5/32 and 8/32 of an inch".
Some of the recommended knives are Fallkniven A1, Fallkniven F1, Fallkniven S-1, and SOG Seal 2000
