Survival and Combat Knives

Do you carry one of the most useful tools with you whenever you go hiking? If you don't, you should!

A survival knife should be an integral part of your gear! You don't need a "Rambo Knife" but a good high quality fixed blade knife could be essential for your survival. You could use a survival knife to split wood, create tinder, start a fire with a firesteel, cut 550 paracord, carve tent pegs, carve a spear, form the sharp point of a spear, and protect yourself. If you don't have one you should order one immediately. Check out the new Gerber Bear Gryll's Ultimate Fixed Blade Survival Kife with integral firesteel. It is a bargain for what you are paying for it. We also carry the Lansky Sharpening System which is the best knife sharpener around. Another good deal is the Ka-Bar BK7 Becker Combat Utility Knife. The price isn't shown because it is below the manufacturers minimum advertising price. Add it to your cart to see what a bargain it is. We also have other kabar knives as well.

Survival Tip: The best survival knife is constructed of one piece of metal, to which there may be slabs of material attached to form a comfortable handle. This kind of construction is known in the knife world as “full tang” or “narrow tang”.

• Full tang survival knives are made so that the blade merges into the handle. Often two slabs of material are attached to either side of the metal to form a comfortable handle.
• Narrow tang survival knives reduce the size of the blade material as it enters the handle of the knife. A handle is then attached over the narrow piece of the knife. Often the knife handle is composed of leather disks. Narrow tang knives sometimes have a pommel attached to the handle end of the tang.
