Best Knives for Outdoorsmen

If you're an outdoorsman, you know how useful a knife is when hiking, camping or fishing. There are a lot of knives to choose from and I am going to help you decide which ones you would like to buy. Some of the best brands are Spyderco (made here in Colorado), Kershaw, Sog, Buck and Ontario. My favorite folding knife is the Spyderco Tenacious. It has a 3 1/2 inch blade, G-10 handles and a strong liner lock. This knife is around $40 dollars and is very reliable and sharp out of the box. Another great folder is the Kershaw Skyline. The Skyline is very lightweight and slim and also very sharp out of the box.

Sometimes a folding knife is to small for the job. In that case, you will need a fixed-blade knife. Ontario and Buck make two different fixed-blades that will stand up to anything you put them up against. Buck's is the Buck Hoodlum and Ontario's is the Rtak II. Both are very high quality and you won't regret buying either of them. They are perfect for processing wood while camping and are also good for defense. If you want something even bigger than these two, you may want to get a machete. Sog makes good machetes for a great price. They are also great for camping and some are great tactical weapons as well.
