Choosing an Outdoor Survival Knife
When camping, hunting, and hiking it is always a good idea to be prepared for a survival situation. One item that is on almost every survival list you’ll find is a good knife. A survival knife can serve many purposes. If you are lost in the woods or come across any of the other dangers that the great outdoors has to offer a survival knife is a must have item. When looking for a survival knife you’ll notice that you have a few options to choose from.
A typical survival knife will either be a folding knife or the more commonly a fixed blade knife. Wither you choose a folding or fixed blade survival knife is up to you but be warned that fixed blades tend to be a little more durable in extreme survival conditions. Another thing to consider when choosing a survival knife is if you want a serrated or plain edge blade. While serrated blades work better for cutting fabric like material they tend to be a little harder to sharpen making them less popular.
This knife is designed with long term survival in mind. The Gerber LMF features a partially serrated blade so you get the best of both worlds. This knife has a 4.84″ blade that works well for both cutting rope and chopping down wood. Gerber’s LMF II is really nice in longer survival situations because the sheath has a built in sharpener so your knife will keeps its edge longer. The handle is separated from the tang of the knife which makes it more durable while hammering and also serves as a barrier to electricity.
Cold Steel SRK Survival Rescue Knife
The Cold Steel SRK has a 6″ blade which puts this knife that the longer length side of survival knives. Featuring durable AUS 8A Stainless steel that not only has great edge retention but also is Telfon coated to help protect the blade from the elements. At 3/16 of an inch thick this blade won’t break on you when chopping wood or skinning animals.

Wither splitting wood or doing prep work in your camp kitchen this knife is truly universal. At 5.25″ long this knife is the only full plain edge knife on the list, which makes it great for wood splitting and skinning animals quickly. The Grivory handle is easy to hold and is extremely durable and weather resistant making it great for all your outdoor adventures.
SOG Seal Revolver
The SOG Seal Revolver is the most interesting of the knives in this article because the blade folds into the handle revealing a survival saw for cutting branches and larger pieces of wood.

The Revolver also comes with a sheath for carrying the knife when not in use.
