Best Survival Knife and How to Find It
Especially if you are in a backwoods cabin and needing a good, strong, sharp knife.
You will be GLAD you spent that extra buck on getting the best survival knife you could find!
One Feature of a Great Survival Knife is the Tang...
Here is where the rubber meets the road on choosing the best survival knife.
You want the metal part of your knife to be what is called full tang or narrow tang where the metal blade goes the full length of the knife.
Full tang is where the blade merges into the handle.
In many cases the metal or steel is encased on two sides with either wood or leather to be used as a handle.
On some survival knives the handle is left off to make it lighter and more versatile.
To the inexperienced, these knives may look bare and unattractive, but the true outdoorsman or survivalist knows better!
Narrow tang is where the steel is narrower and is covered by more handle so to speak.
When you are looking at a survival knife, one easy way to tell if it is a good knife, is to look at the spine of the knife and make sure you can see the steel running all the way to the end of the handle.

What is a Good Blade Length for a Survival Knife?
Four to six inches is a good length for the knife blade.
Longer than that is too much weight and over-kill. This length has the right mix for size and control.
If you DO need a larger blade knife of some sort, it may be a good idea to add a Blackhawk Knife or maybe a machette or a hatchet to your survival pack.
