Fixed blade knife


Considering that the fixed blade knives are crafted with a full tang, it is common for them to be known as the strongest among all options. From cutting wood pieces to chopping vegetables and meat, you can use a fixed blade pocket knife for almost anything around the camp. Make sure that you buy a high-quality one to use it for several years. 


Folding knives


  • Lock back


The lock knife is made of a spring mechanism where the spine of the knife is moved back and forth. When you need to open the knife, the spine will engage in a notch in the back of the blade and vice-versa for closing it. It's a sturdy form which not only helps during camping but comes in stunning designs as well.


  • Axis lock


Benchmade knives have patented this variety of a folding pocket knife lock, and so you'll only find Benchmade knives with an Axis lock. The best part about such knives is that they are easy to open, close and use and are ambidextrous. Easy usability makes it a hot choice among campers.


  • Frame lock


The frame lock mechanism proves to be wonderous for serious campers who need an easy to use and carry tool for meal preparation and more. The solid build and mechanism enable a frame lock pocket knife to deliver desired results for cutting, chopping and piercing. You can entrust it to other challenging tasks as well.


  • Friction folder


Friction folder is dependent on the hand's friction to function correctly. There is no spring to support the movement or a real lock that might lock down the blade when open or closed. The best part about this blade is that it can be legally carried around in the UK. 


  • Multi-tool knife


A multi-tool folding pocket knife is one of the most popular varieties that you can easily find in the backpack of a camper. They come in concise forms with a set of different blades that can be put to different uses. Such a tool can help you with fishing, camp set-up and numerous other tasks with ease. 


Going wrong with your knife choice can cost you dearly in the wilderness. On that note, we will leave you to re-read the above-mentioned points and place an order for your most suitable knife right away!
