hi it's AlaskaGranny alaska prepper there are a lot of  decisions to be made
if you are a prepper including how to choose a survival knife
choosing a survival knife can be as complex as choosing a personal protection handgun weapon
there are certain guidelines  to help you decide the features that are the most important to you in choosing a survival knife
a survival knife should be able to do
a lot of different tasks
you should be able to use your survival knife to pry to spear to hammer to open to saw things, and to prepare food
your survival knife that you choose should be the knife that is most useful on a day to day basis
the features that you should look for in choosing a survival knife include
choose a knife with a fixed blade  the fixed blade should be about 4 to 6 inches long
it should have a full tang which means it is one solid piece of metal and includes a sturdy handle
your survival knife needs a sharp tip if you want to use it to pry pick and dig
it needs a reliable sheath so you are able to carry it safely
 
it should be stainless steel
top quality and long lasting
and will resist rust
the new knife that I choose is by Anza
it is made out of a file so it has a checkerboard it also has serrated sections
one of the problems with the checkerboard is
knives that are made out of a file they can collect moisture which can lead to rust
just like when you put a file away in your tool box without properly cleaning it
you come back and it is rusty
has rust on it
clean the blade before you put it away so you want to be more careful with your survival knife than you are with your simple tool of a file
before you put it away blow out the debris with a can of compressed air or gas duster
it will make sure that
all of the little checkerboards serrated sections are clean
especially if you are storing it away
you want to make sure a
that your survival knife
is up to the tasks at hand '
and that it lasts a long time

which have the most liberal knife laws in the United States
