Top 5 Survival Knives!

By simkesrb Survival 0 Comments

You are out in the woods alone, (this is not advised) and you have nothing but your survival knife to assist you with all of your basic needs to survive. You build a shelter, start a fire and kill a deer to eat. The next morning you hike out and find civilization once again. Then you live to be 100 years old telling this story many more times than you have years and the story only gets better each time. Of course, this is the story we all want to tell our kids, grandkids, great-grandkids and everyone else kind enough to listen. You only have one problem: you bought a crappy knife and died. The end. This is not as good of a story as the first, and it all starts (and ends) with the knife.

The above (simple) story illustrates the importance of buying a quality knife for all of your survival needs. Below I’ve listed five survival knives…my personal favorites, and the ones I would trust to take with me into any situation.
