SURVIVAL KNIFE – FOX KNIFE: SHERPA

A “survival knife” is just as it sounds — a knife that can help you survive. It is a tool with literally hundreds of survival-related functions. Below is a short list:

• Cutting/slicing
• Digging
• Splitting
• Self-defense
• First aid tool
• Food prep
• Shelter building
• Fire making
• Hunting weapon
• Prying tool
• Signaling
• Hammering
• Makeshift screwdriver

When it comes to your survival knife, less is typically more — despite what you may see on TV. Hang the cool movie prop knife on a wall and embrace the simplicity of a skillfully designed survival knife. Function trumps styling — always. Your first priority is performance and that will depend on a variety of time-tested key features.
