In this instance, when choosing a knife for your survival kit, it is of the utmost important that you do NOT skimp. Even if it costs $200, chances are it will be a good knife – reliable and durable, and it will last you for years to come. There are an array of knives out there for your Swiss Army, Adventure Medical Kits and Tactical Medical Solutions kits. The one you choose will most likely depend on what it is you want from the knife itself. Most people will go with a serrated option because this can act as a knife, but also as a de-boner for fish, a saw for cutting small twigs, a slicer for rope and twine.

The handles will also depend on you. Some of them have marbled wood – which are more for show than anything else. Others will have non-slip grips. The bolster on the knife will be different as well. It’s probably suggested that if you get a knife with a slippery handle that you make sure the bolster is wide enough.. just in case your hand would slip!
