Why A Fixed Blade Camping Knife Is The Better Choice

By Stephen Martin


There is a charm about collecting things. People have their own preferences and while some prefer to collect more decorative stuff, others collect things with practical uses. There are many knife enthusiasts around the world. These tools are useful for many things especially for outdoor activities like camping and hunting.

There are many things you would possibly need to survive days or even just a night out in the wild. You would need tents, ropes, cooking stuff and most especially a handy survival knife. There has always been a debate about what kind of knife is more preferred. The fight is between the foldable ones and the fixed blade camping knife.

There is a cool factor when it comes to folder knives, but when you are in the outdoors, what matters more is use and efficiency. While getting the weapon concealed is a disadvantage for fixed blades, you can guarantee that using it would be most efficient when compared to other options. The force you can exert on the tool does not affect its possibility of being damaged.

Digging a hole in the ground which you may need to do during gardening can be done without the worry of getting dirt on the screws and hinges. Cleaning is fast and very straight forward. Other tasks that this can do better are piercing through tough stuff, twisting and pulling. Since some people are very meticulous about their things, you can assure that heavy duty usage would not be a problem here.

You also have the option of choosing whatever length you want for the sharp area. Folders are not able to accommodate very large blades since that would make the whole structure weaker. The longer the blade for folders, the more force it is going to give on the screw area of the handle. This makes fixed knives the default choice when choosing a knife for outdoor adventuring.

If you stay in urbanities more, the folding blade is more useful since it is compact and it can be hidden. There are also fixed ones that are easy to conceal and is easier to carry around the city. This has many good uses, including self defense if necessary. Maybe the most difficult thing about carrying this in public is how it is seen as a tool for violence above everything else.

Like mentioned earlier it is simpler and more safe to do outdoor tasks with a fixed knife than one that folds. The only accident that can possibly happen is not being careful and cutting yourself with the sharp edge. There is no need to worry about the blade accidentally folding if you exert too much force. It is also less likely that the sharp end would get removed from the handle since it is already embedded with the handle itself.

Maintenance and cleaning is easier. Some of the tasks involving knives are essentially messy. There is no limit to how long the knife should be since there is no worry that the force exerted would damage the tool, unlike folders. Although, you should really consider the length of the tool depending on its expected usage.

Whether you are the type that likes to go camping or not, having one of these babies is essential survival. Just as a precaution keep one in a survival kit in case some freak accident happens. The tool is proven a necessity in any emergency situations. Since the equipment is dangerous make sure to keep it out of reach from children and people unfit to use it.
