In this post we are going to showcase a few models of knives that we would like to recommend for such uses - be it full tang knife, folding blade, or multitool you are looking for - we will show them all!

Well known all around knife from Sweden - trusty Companion from Morakniv

If you are looking for a cheap, robust, and very durable blade which will do all, but the hardest work in your encampment, is a camping knife for you! Companion knife from Morakniv makes an excellent choice both for veterans and newcomers to the arts of Bushcraft and survival. Because of its low weight, small size, and very good blade retention, the Companion utility knife carved its place on belts of many bushcraft, fishing, or mushroom picking enthusiasts, but also as a utility knife for use in gardens or workshops.

The laser sharpened blade of the described general use knife was manufactured from cold-rolled Swedish steel where the resistant, the texturized handle was made from rubberized TPE material, giving it anti-slip properties. Thanks to utilizing such materials in the handle, the camping knife stays in hand even if completely wet, which is very important for fishing enthusiasts.

With the companion bushcraft knife we also receive a sheath, made from bright green polymer, which blends with the details in the knife handle. The sheath comes with the clip, allowing us to mount it on the edge of pants or belt, which can be 45 mm wide.

The sheath itself holds our robust bushcraft knife very snugly and demands a bit of strength to actually remove it. Thanks to that, we can be pretty sure that our camping knife will not leave it even if we will trip, saying that, we still recommend taking care if you will end up with the knife hanging upside down.
