LMAO!
I was going to say; tat go cut me down the largest tree you can find or dig me a fox hole lol.
Best survival knife is my kukri hands down.

I cannot tell what model of CS that is...
CS makes real Khukuris and Khukuri looking machetes.
Their real Khukuries are very expensive.
I usually get min Khukuries from asia, but you have to be careful because a lot of junk is exported.
This Aitihasik is a good one.
It has cut it's way through it's share of limbs...
It is the second best chopper I have, only bettered by my Survival Golok XXL.
For a survival knife, have you considered one of the ones that Doug Ritter designed? (I am sorry, but I do not have any pictures of mine, but you can find them on the web by just doing a search for Doug Ritter knives.
Have you looked at the Bark River Northstar? It was designed as a survival knife and has a convex edge that you can keep sharp in the field with a piece of leather and some w/d sandpaper. It is the one on the left. The Becker on the right is nice too.
Have you considered a Mora knife? They are very cheap and they are great to learn with.
If you step up in price a bit, you can get a Mora2000 survival knife for under $40 last I checked.
For under $130 you can get a set of a Puuko and a Leuku in a combo-sheath... They have been used for centures by people in cold climates to survive.
Whatever you get, take it out and use it until you know all about it...
I would feel comfortable with any of those knives, but some of them I would know to be a little more careful with.
