About Knives
Did you know that the knife is the oldest and most adaptable tool that man possesses?. All through history knives have evolved with the needs of humans. As a result, today you can find a wide variety of specialty knives and many knives are just not suitable for every task anymore.
Many knives are designed for a specific need, which no doubt led to the knife's invention thousands of years ago: hunting, fishing, skinning, boning, and gutting.
Some tips on selecting the right knife:
- A knife has two parts - a blade and a handle - and size is an important consideration for both.
- Outdoor knives used for hunting and other activities should generally have blades of 4.5 to 5 inches.
- As for knife handle size, a good rule of thumb (literally) is to choose a handle about 1/2-inch larger than your grip.
- Knives are divided into two basic design categories: fixed blades and folding blades.
- A fixed blade will be strong and reliable, but requires a sheath for protection and storage. Our pen knives are an example of a fixed blade knife.
- There are several different types of folding blade knives: pocket knives, lockback knives, and one-handed knives that can be closed and opened with one hand.
- A folded blade knife is safe, compact, and convenient. Most knife blades are made from stainless steel, a material with sufficient strength and resistance for most basic tasks.
- A serrated edge makes it easier to cut through dense materials such as wood, rope, and bone.
- For outdoor uses, rubberized knife handles will often outperform wooden handles.
