How to choose outdoor knife?

It is very important to choose the right outdoor knife for yourself.

1、 Size selection
A straight knife suitable for outdoor survival, the ideal blade length should be 10-15 cm.
The size of outdoor folding survival knife should not be too large. Too long knife body will cause the overall weight of the knife to be too heavy. Holding it in the hand consumes physical strength and takes up space in the bag. It is not flexible and laborious to use, which is not conducive to long-distance outdoor survival and exploration.
Not too small. Although the palm knife is convenient to carry, it is of little use. It's hard to cut branches and ropes. If you don't say it, it's easy to break if you're not careful. It's very chicken ribs.
Comparatively speaking, the medium length knife can do some relatively fine work, but also can be competent for some heavy tasks.

2、 Knife type selection
A full keel straight knife is the best choice for folding survival knife.
The blade of the folding knife can be folded into the handle, which is safer and easier to carry. But this biggest advantage is the biggest disadvantage for outdoor survival. As we all know, as long as it is splicing, it must be easier to cause damage. The hollow handle and folding shaft of the folding knife are obviously weak parts that are easy to break.
The one-piece blade without movable components is obviously more suitable for outdoor survival. The keel integrated straight knife has better bending resistance, can withstand greater use strength, and the overall force is more balanced, which can withstand high-strength use.

3、 Blade selection
It is best to choose a blade without sawtooth.
Although the serrated blade looks very cool, this design is very bad for outdoor best survival pocket knife.
Of course, the tooth edge can help in cutting the rope, but in addition, this design is very "delaying": if the tooth edge is blunt, you need to use a specific sharpener to polish one groove by one, which is very troublesome; At the same time, the practicality of outdoor best survival pocket knife with toothed blades has also been greatly reduced, because the toothed blades can't do anything except cutting ropes.

4、 Tool handle selection
For the choice of knife handle, please remember two words: antiskid and comfortable.
The anti slip of the handle of outdoor knives is very important, which allows you to avoid sudden slipping of the knife in your hand no matter what environment you are in. As for the grip comfort of the knife handle, it can only depend on you to try your hand more when choosing the knife. 

In addition, when using outdoor folding survival knife, you should also pay attention to the following points:
1. Develop the habit of regularly checking the knife: regularly check whether the scabbard is secure, and when the knife is not in use temporarily, be sure to put the knife into the scabbard and keep it properly.
2. When using a knife, be careful not to point it at people: whether it is chopping or cutting, the blade should always be kept in the wrong state to prevent accidents.
3. When wiping the knife, in order to prevent fingers from being scratched, it is best to wipe it from the back of the knife to the blade.
4. If the knife falls accidentally, don't pick it up subconsciously.
5. The knife shall comply with the local laws and regulations.
