DO YOU CALL THAT A KNIFE? OUTDOOR KNIFE ASSESSMENT


Facing your favorite hunting territory or starting a multi-day trek or a camping trip? A tool that you should never leave behind is a sharp and reliable knife. From dressing up in the field that prize of the trophy to acting as a survival tool in complicated situations, if you are a lover of nature and you do not have a quality knife, then the fault is yours. Before leaving the field again, it's time to pick up a knife you can trust. But what qualities does a desirable outdoor knife have? Do not worry, we will guide you through the important factors involved in the selection of a knife that you can rely on to get the job done. We are going to divide this search into two parts: hunting knife and survival knife / outdoor general. But first, a little on fixed blades vs. folding knives and how that will affect your search.

Fixed blades or folding blades?

The Damascus steel hunting Knives consist of a solid piece of metal that includes the entire blade and at least a significant part of the handle. This can be a complete or partial spike. Tang is the part of the knife that extends into the handle and helps provide support for the part of the blade. The full spikes extend to the end of the blade handle and the stronger full tang blades also extend the full width of the handle. This means that even if you lose the wood, plastic or other material that covers the spike, the complete spatula will still be usable in case of emergency. The partial tabs do not extend to the end of the handle, but still provide some level of support for the part of the blade. These designs are sometimes referred to as rat-tailed legs or club legs, and represent a cheaper option because less steel is used in construction. If you want an extremely resistant blade, the full tang knives are always the best option. The drawback of fixed blade knives is that they require much more space to transport (for example, along their belt), and a knife sheath is always the safest option.
Folding sheets are best described as the pocket knives we are all familiar with. When closed, the blade is protected by the blade handle, and when the extended blade is held in place by means of a locking mechanism. Nowadays, knives with locking blades are the most popular folding blade designs and once extended, the blade remains in place until a lever or steel part is pressed into the handle, thus releasing the blade so that it can fold back. The advantages of a folding blade are obvious, particularly the ability to transport the blade easily without requiring much space. However, a folding blade will never be as strong as a fixed blade because a single piece of steel does not extend to the handle.

Hunting knife

A hunting knife should really focus on a purpose. The hunting knives are designed to dress in the field, plain and simple, and although it is common for hunters to use them for other purposes, dressing in the field is the main objective to concentrate. If you want to cut branches around your tree, for example, you should consider a small saw to try to force your hunting knife to take over the task. Once you have shot and tracked the deer or another animal you've been hunting, it's time to take out the hunting knife and get to work. But what qualities are a good hunting knife? First of all, hunting knives must be agile. They should surround the organs and make cuts where you will not have much additional space to work. Most agree that ideal hunting knives are between 3 and 4 inches long, but should never exceed 4 inches. When it comes to differentiating between a fixed and a folded knife for that purpose, any of the designs works as long as the fixed blade is not too long....
