Buying the Right Outdoor Utility Knife

When you are looking to buy a discount utility knife, you should consider several important characteristics prior to making a purchase. The following are some key aspects to consider before you buy a new utility knife for hunting or camping from Hunting Shooting Camping Supplies.

• Consider the main use of your knife: While utility knives can be versatile outdoor knives designed to perform a number of tasks, it is still important to consider the main tasks for which you will be using your knife before buying a discount utility knife. For example, while hunting knives are primarily designed to field dress game, they can also be used for a variety of other important tasks when in the field, such as cutting rope. It is important to buy a quality knife that will remain sharp and efficient for your most common outdoor uses.
• Determine your ideal knife design: When buying a utility knife for outdoor use, you can choose between a folding or fixed blade knife. Fixed blade knives are convenient because they are always open and ready to use, however these knives can be more bulky and difficult to carry. Folding utility knives are convenient as they fit easily in a pocket or pack. However, some folding knives require the use of two hands to open, making them more difficult to access quickly. Finally, campers and other outdoor enthusiasts may choose to buy an affordable multi-tool, such as a Leatherman Multi-Tool, because of its ultimate versatility in the field.
• Consider a knife's materials and durability: Utility knives designed for hunting, fishing, or camping can be made of several different materials. A durable stainless steel blade is often the best choice as it can stand up to years of use. The material from which the knife's handle is made is another important factor to consider. Depending on your situation, your ideal knife handle choice may be a non-slip composite handle, classic designed wood handle, or even a leather wrapped handle.
