When you are on the trails it is common knowledge that you
need to ensure you are appropriately equipped for the adventure you are
undertaking. However making sure you have the right knife for your trip is often
something that people (wrongly) overlook. There are literally thousands of
choices out there and buying one of every type of knife would cost a
fortune Cheap
Adrian Clayborn Jersey , I intend to look at a sample of key knife
types available and to offer a guide for which knife should be used for which
purposes, such as cutting rope, cutting through undergrowth or gutting that fish
for dinner.
Picking the right knife for you can be tricky Cheap
Vincent Valentine Jersey , here are some options for you to
consider when purchasing a new knife for the outdoors.
Folding Knife 聳
This is generally a small knife that folds into its own handle and allows you to
transport in your pocket or pack securely. With easy opening and safety lock
present in many modern folding knives, they are a safe and secure when
using.
Fixed Blade Knives 聳 The fixed blade knife, has a rigid handle and
is therefore regarded as more secure than its folding sibling. Fixed blade
knives are great for tougher jobs where pressure may need to be applied. When
choosing a knife Cheap
Trey Flowers Jersey , blade size is going to decide its use, with
smaller blades being more suited to technical tasks such as filleting or
carving.
Machetes- The Machete is a commonly used knife in Latin America
and the Caribbean where it is used to cut through undergrowth and agricultural
products such as Sugar cane. It is generally much larger than a traditional
knife and as such should be used with care, however it provides a great option
when large areas of shrubbery need to be cut back.
With such a vast
choice of knife suppliers to choose from Cheap
Tom Brady Jersey , it can be difficult to choose a good quality
supplier. I find that Gerber still remain one of the best on the market and
their Gerber Bear Grylls range is of a high quality with plenty of design
choices for every situation. The Bear Grylls Ultimate Knife is the jewel in
their crown, a rigid fixed blade knife which has a sizeable blade available in
serrated and fine edged options. It is perfect for cutting rope, prepping camp
or cutting kindling. My own Bear Grylls knife is the Bear Grylls Ultimate knife
with serrated edge and I find it a practical solution for most things that I
encounter on the trails. The Bear Grylls Parang Machete is excellent for
clearing overgrown trails and cutting through larger branches to prep for fires
and build shelters.
Picking a the right knife for you truly is a personal
experience Cheap
Tedy Bruschi Jersey , and a knife that is perfect for one person
could be a nightmare for someone else, only you will know which you is the right
one for you. I hope this guide has helped and have fun on your survival and
camping trips. Stay tuned for more of my outdoor articles coming soon.
