When consideration is given
to your options for a fixed blade in your survival kit, there is really only
one clear choice. Since size and weight will be primary factors in building any
type of survival kit, you will want to keep these to a minimum. The clear
winner in this department will be the single edge razor blade.
With its small and
relatively compact size, negligible weight and extreme sharpness, the single
edge razor blade is an ideal choice to give you a cutting edge in your compact
survival kit. They’re also flat...which is a good thing.
Single edge razor blades
also make a great addition to your first aid kit.

Clever idea. I like it!

It's about the smallest and cheapest blade available...making it perfect for a small survival kit.
A razor blade can also be "the poor man's scalpel" when added to your first aid kit.
Thanks Sixbears.

I like Stanley ultility blades. You can get a 50 pack for about $10. They're sharp, last a long time and are still made in the USA!
Gerber EZ-Out is a decent folding contractor's bladed knife. I've never tried it, but I''m sure the handle ALONE (no blade) could be taken on an airplane carry on. Inexpensive pack of contractor's blade can be purchased at destination, and ditched / left behind on return. Inexpensive knife option.
Durn it, screwed up - Gerber EAB knife, not EZ-Out. Sorry.
