Knives & Multi-Tools
Knives & Multi-Tools
There is a phenomenal range of knives and multi-tools available from many different brands. Some of these brands are well known - like Gerber and Leatherman - but others are not so well known.
This makes choosing the right knife or multi-tool for your outdoor activity not quite as easy as it sounds.
Many survival experts consider a knife to be the most important item in your survival kit, as it can arguably be used for all five of your basic survival needs.
Basic Survival & Everyday Use
As well as for survival, a knife is an essential item for many outdoor pursuits.
For camping, fishing and hunting there are many occasions that a knife or multi-tool is extremely useful, if not essential, and even in everyday activities they have their place.
Indeed, the Leatherman was conceived from a need to maintain an old car while on a touring holiday.
A poor quality knife or multi-tool can be more of a hazard than a help, so we would recommend sticking to a well known outdoor brand.
It may cost a little bit more, but will be better quality and safer to use, and will last longer.
