Tactical Survival

What’s the difference between survival and tactical knives?

I want to buy one and I need to know the difference.

So, the difference between these two is more virtual than real and largely made up by the media. However, over time there has come to be some approximate consensus.

Survival knives are generally fixed blades with some variant of a hollow handle and some sort of small “survival” kit inside.

“Tactical” knives have a much looser definition, Essentially, these are about everything other than hunting and skinning knives in a fixed blade.

There are some very good “survival” knives from a quality standpoint – Chris Reeves is probably the best known of the higher end. However, when you get into normal production price knives, it is pretty tough to find one of these which is of reasonable quality.

On the other hand, there are tons of good “tactical” knives at virtually every price range.
