Choosing a Survival Knife With a Tang

survival knife tangThere are a number of things to consider when you are choosing a survival knife. Bulk, size, and weight are three very important factors to add in to your decision. Some people might feel they want a knife that is flashy, but you don’t need a knife with a blade that is long and showy.

 

 

 The Perfect Survival Knife Blade Steel

When a knife falls, it usually lands on its tip. That makes it very important to have a knife with a strong tip. The thickness of a survival blade should be anywhere from 5/32 to 8/32 of an inch. That thickness is just right in helping make the best survival knife.

 

 

Smooth or Serrated Edge Knife?
