  1. What is the Best Camping Knife?

  2. When it comes to camping, heading into the woods without a knife on your belt or in your pack is almost as bad as hiking in without any clothes. Knives are an invaluable tool for campers that can help accomplish any number of tasks from preparing firewood to preparing food. In truth this question can be a hard one to answer. For some the best camping knife might just be a folding knife or multitool while others will place more value in the chopping blade of a machete.

  3. Most campers are going to find the best option is somewhere between these two extremes. Today we will be looking at a few common knife characteristics and helping you decide what to look for when you buy a camping knife. One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing a new camping knife is the size. Smaller blades are going to be easy to carry and useful for fine tasks, while large knives have an undeniable “cool factor” that appeals to many users. When it comes to finding an all around camping knife, options with a blade length between 3.5 and 6 inches should be at the top of your list.

  4. The next factor to consider is the design of the blade itself. Some knives, like those with clip point blades are great for some specific cutting tasks, but the tip often lacks the strength needed for a good bushcraft knife. Spear point and drop point knives are some of the most common options available because they have strong tips and can handle a wide range of tasks from basic camp chores to full on bushcraft and survival training.

  5. Handle material is another topic that knife buyers often wonder about. The scales of your knife not only affect the look of the knife, but they are also the point through which the user interacts with the blade. Wood scales are an attractive option, but composite laminate scale materials like Micarta and G10 are more water resistant and stable than any natural material. These handle scales can also be manufactured in a wide range of colors and textures. Finally you have to consider the sheath of your knife. Sheaths not only protect your blade in transit, but they also protect you from the blade.
