Fishing Knife
Choose a Good Knife for Camping
If you have ever seen any of the Bear Grylls 'Born Survivor' TV series or the outstanding Ray Mears 'Extreme Survival' you will have noticed how both Bear and Ray always carry a good quality knife.
Knives have been used since the stone age when man made remarkably effective and sharp cutting tools from flint and obsidian. The knife is a versatile and practical tool and a frighteningly effective weapon. They've been getting a lot of unwarranted bad press lately due to the number of violent knife crimes on our streets.
But knives are not bad, its the people who use them to commit crime who are truly bad. They are essential tools that, in the outdoors or a survival situation, you would be glad to have.
When camping out a knife can be used in any number of ways including:
- Cutting branches for fire wood
- Preparing kindling
- Cutting rope or string
- Making tent pegs
- Skinning rabbits
- Preparing food
- Almost everything…
It's always good to have the most suitable knife for the job. The swiss-army knife is a good example of a practical folding knife that often has a huge selection of tools suitable for a range of applications. But a good, strong, sharp knife blade is an essential requirement.
Knives that are ideal for camping don't really need to be very large. Ideally the knife should have a high carbon steel steel blade that will not corrode and will hold and good sharp edge. Your chosen knife can have a fixed or folding blade. Knives with folding blades should ideally lock when the blade is exposed to prevent accidents. Your chosen knife should have a good handle that has grip and is comfortable and the right size for your hand. The knife blade should have a good sharp point and the handle may have a strong rear bolster (the bit at the end of the handle) which can be used for hammering or cracking nuts.
If you favour a fixed blade knife it will need a suitable sheath that, ideally, you can mount on your belt. You will need a whetstone to keep your knife blade sharp. For fishing and hunting, you may like to use a knife that has a partially serrated edge, ideal for cutting through bone.
Whatever you choose a knife is an essential part of your camping equipment. While you may be arrested for carrying a knife in towns and cities you shouldn't be without one in the great outdoors.
