Bushcraft Knife – Best Tool in Wilderness Survival

One of a few essentials that all survivors should have with them is a reliable bushcraft knife. It is by far essentially the most important item of the survival gear.

Finding the best survival knife for you is more than exercising your individuality – your life may hinge upon its right selection. Anyone who has spent time in the wilderness knows how useful a reliable knife is. But to the survival specialist his knife is certainly one of his best friends and essentially the most carefully guarded of his survival tools. Like the best friend, his survival knife will never let him down.

The appropriate viewpoint on survival knives is – if it isn’t with you, it can’t save you. Any knife will do if you have it at the right time. It is possible to make or get just about everything you might need to survive with a good knife. Use a knife to construct shelter, make fuzz sticks, dress game, gut a fish or defend yourself.

When choosing a knife, search for how versatile it is in a variety  of things it can do. Though, as with any survival gear bulk and weight are vital concerns to take into consideration. Therefore your choice of the most effective knife has to be determined by strong construction, proper materials, and workmanship.  

The best blade length that delivers best mix of size and control is somewhere between four and six inches. If a larger survival blade is needed then you would probably be better off packing a machete, axe, hatchet, or tomahawk. After all, you would do well to just have on you a standard sized survival knife.

The very best bushcraft knife is constructed of one piece of metal, to which there are slabs of material attached to make a secure grip. This sort of construction is known in the knife world as full tang.

Inexpensive survival knives are made so that the metal blade and the handle are separated from each other. The point on these poorly made knives where the blade and handle are bolted and glued together is the weak part. You would do well to avoid such a low-cost knife in favor of the top-quality full tang versions.

Be sure you do not skimp when selecting a bushcraft knife. Get the best survival knife you can afford and it is going to last for years to come. And someday it might just save your life.
