Fixed Bushcraft Knives
When one thinks of survival, a good bushcraft knife most likely comes to mind. Bushcraft, the art of wilderness survival, lends itself to camping, and the skills needed for both camping and survival lend themselves to a good bushcraft knife. Whether you’re out in the Alabama Hills or in the Appalachian Mountains, a good bushcraft knife can help you set up camp, start a fire and so much more. They are versatile and can be used for many tasks, such as wood carving. One can even attach it to a stick to form a spear. Bushcraft knives, needing to be sturdy, usually come with a full tang, meaning a strong, sharp blade that won’t easily break with heavy use. So check out these offerings of bushcraft knives and grab one before your next camping trip.
