Best Survival Knife Guide, What's the best knife?

As a beginner it can be difficult to choose from all the different knives that are available. One thing you want to first decide upon is, how much you are able to spend on your knife, before buying the best survival knife for you. Setting your budget can narrow down the amounts you have to choose from.

Once you have set your budget, you will need to narrow the search down by choosing what you actually want to use the knife for. Many survival knives have different uses and are better in certain areas than others, generally a survival knife should be able to do the following:

• Cutting/Slicing
• Digging
• Splitting
• Self-Defense
• First Aid Tool
• Food Prep
• Shelter Building
• Fire Making
• Hunting Weapon
• Prying Tool
• Signaling
• Hammering
• Make-Shift Screwdriver

I have always prefered the Swiss army knife, but then i only use it as a gadget for when im camping. A swiss army knife wouldnt be much use in the wilderness of Australia.
