2013 Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro Survival Knife

A Survival Knife is probably the single most important tool in your survival gear. You can do a LOT to survive in the wilderness with absolutely nothing but a very good knife. That stated, here are 7 points you should really think about when picking out a survival knife.



Armed with practically nothing but an angle grinder and sander I set to work. I used the sander to take away the phosphate coating on the blade. I then utilised the angle grinder to give it a subtle clip point rather of the round leading. A utility knife was applied to slowly carve the edges off the scales to limit the amout of would I would want to sand off. As soon as the handle was sanded I made use of the sanding disc on my angle to get in the areas the flat sander couldnt reach. I noticed that the grinder sanding disc gave the deal with a slightly 'burnt rattan' appear- so I carried it on more than the whole handle. This has given the handle a lovely smooth feel so I am glad I found it.

I also have and older model- the Stiff KISS (pictured above with sheath and 550 cord wrapped on deal with)- which I carry as a lightweight survival knife for backpacking and hiking. The knife and sheath as pictured above weighs just 4 ounces. This is a skeletonised Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro Fixed Blade Survival Knife blade knife, unfortunately no longer available. They do have a newer knife with the same capabilities named the Hammond A.B.C. There are two models- the Aqua model, with a blunt point for scuba and whitewater use, and the Operator's model with a drop point for common objective use. Blade length for both knives is three.75 inches. Both feature serrated backs.

So they're quite nicely completed up. It has got grooves and it has got a slight texture into it and just a small bit of softness to it and pretty, extremely grippy handle, pretty nice feeling deal with in hand. But basically the style is by and massive as it utilized to be. It has got a false edge up on the major. It really is flat ground and of course you can see it has got these blade grooves in it. Stamp is on the side, made in the USA. On the other side you can see, "KA-BAR, Olean, New York". So this is an completely classic American knife. Any critical knife collector has likely currently got KA-BAR Fighting Survival Knife. If you do not, go ahead and get yourself a single.

It has a 7 inch extended blade suitable for slashing via bushes and when faced with a one on one combat challenge in the hands of the enemy. For greater handling expertise, the Cold steel recon Tanto 13RTK embraces a lengthy Kray-Ex manage that is heavily studded. 9. Gerber LMF II Infantry Knife 22-01629
