Called the Survival Series they included a Bowie, Outdoorsman, Survival, Skinner a folding hunter knife, a fisherman knife, and a filet knife.

S&W Called the Outdoorsman "an ideal general-purpose hunting and camping designed knife with richly grained black Wessonwood handle that is contoured for sure, comfortable grip. Full length flat spline provides substantial working surface right to the point. Emergency equipment in cavity in handled has protective knurled brass end cap. Overall length is 10"with 5.5" blade.
