Benefits That A Fixed Blade Camping Knife Has Over Other Options

By Stephen Martin


Traveling and participating in outdoor activities that involve nature and the wild is fun and quite the challenge. Unlike going on vacation in a resort, convenience is not a matter of commercial accommodation but of personal preparation. There are many tools needed including tents, sleeping bags and other gear that help you cook, and do other tasks that you may need for the trip.

Some may want to buy knives for practical uses, while others buy it for collection purposes. Sharp objects have always been an essential for survival. There are many types to choose from with varying shapes and sizes. But there will forever be a separation for those who would prefer a fixed blade camping knife and those that would rather use the foldable ones.

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.

There are just some tasks that you would hesitate doing with a knife that rotates and has hinges. With a sturdy fixed blade, prying, twisting and pulling things are easier done. There is no need to worry about breaking the tool or getting skin locked and pinched on the hinges accidentally.

You especially have the option to choose from a variety of lengths. Although a machete cannot really be considered as a knife. Know what general uses you would need for the tool before getting one you would constantly use for your trips. One with a longer blade may not be very efficient for some tasks.

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.
