<strong>Tips for Choosing a Bushcraft Knife </strong>
<br>
Bushcraft knives can come in handy when you are exploring the great outdoors but if you have never bought a knife before, how can you be sure this is the best choice for you? If you want to purchase a bushcraft knife but are unsure which one to choose, here are a few tips to help you find the ideal one to meet your every need. <br>
Looking at the main features of a Bushcraft knife can help you discover the best option for you:<br>
<strong>The Blade </strong><br>
<br>
Bushcraft blades come in a variety of sizes but if you plan to carry out fine work with your knife, it is advisable to opt for a small or medium sized blade. The type of blade you choose will depend on the activities you wish to carry out with your knife. If you plan to be doing a lot of chopping then a bigger blade is advisable but if you need a knife for preparing food, carving or carrying out more intricate work it is wise to pick a smaller one.<br>
<strong>The Handle </strong><br>
<br>
The handle of your bushcraft knife plays a crucial role in the durability of your knife therefore this is not an area to skimp on. Many first time buyers tend to focus on the blade and as a result end up with a knife that won't stand the test of time. It is also worth remembering that it is not all about looks. When choosing a bushcraft knife, it is always sensible to go for practicality over an aesthetically pleasing knife. <br>
<strong>Folding Bushcraft Knives </strong><br>
<br>
Once you have an idea about the kind of blade and handle you are looking for it is time to decide whether you want a folding knife or a fixed blade. Some outdoor enthusiasts choose both so they can be sure that they have a knife for every occasion. <br>
<strong>Multi Tools</strong><br>
<br>
Lastly, if you want a compact tool that does a number of things while taking up a minimal amount of space, you may consider purchasing a multi tool. Many top brands have created innovative multi tools that include a saw, scissors, pliers, wire cutters and more. <br>
