How to choose the best outdoor knife for all outdoor life purposes like bushcraft, hiking, camping or survival is not easy with all type of knives you find on the market today.
In this video I tell you about the things I value the most when I’m looking at different knives for all kind of outdoor life. I also talk about the most common categories of knives that you use at different outdoor activities and in the end of the video I will show my three most used knives.
Factors I’m looking at when choosing knife are:
Weight. What is your need and what is the lightest knife to fit your needs.
Sharpening: Different quality of steel have different advantages and disadvantages. It’s important to understand that some blades are easy to sharpen yourself while others are almost impossible to sharp without special tools.
Strength and durability: Some lightweight foldable knives are only made for cutting bread and other more heavy-duty knives are made for destroying a tank. Of course, a strong knife will be more heavy and more expensive, but what is your need?
Prices: Different knives has different prices as everything else. Don’t buy a knife for daily use that you don’t afford to lose.
