Find The Best Camping Knife at The Knife Connection

Who doesn’t love to go camping? The rush of a brisk breeze across the face, the warm crackle of a campfire - there’s nothing more relaxing and enjoyable than spending a couple of nights outdoors, among the trees and grass and viewing the starry heavens. Of course, there are a few essential items that will make your camping trip a success such as a tent, sleeping bag, water bottle, and... very importantly, a camping knife.

A good camping knife is something that should never be left behind, and TheKnifeConnection.com is ready to provide you with the best camping knife for your needs.

While the type of camping trips can vary, there are some knives that are identified as having features that are common for camping use. Take the LT Wright Knives, TKC exclusive Forest Trail for example. The Forest Trail is a heavy-duty, medium-sized knife for bushcraft needs such as batoning firewood, shelter building, small delimbing tasks, and common camping chores. The Forest Trail is also versatile enough for general field use such as large game field dressing, carcass break-down, and skinning. To that end, the blade features a long narrow point that is near the centerline of the knife. This is great for drilling tasks, and for more delicate work, but the blade also has enough belly for slicing while doing food prep tasks when camping. The spine is square sharpened for use with a firesteel to get your campfire started. The square sharpened can also be used for scraping things to get tinder for starting a campfire. The handle is very comfortable allowing for extended periods of use without hot spots or hand fatigue.

Also, you can check out LT Wright Knives' Genesis 5, a five-inch-blade model of LT Wright’s Genesis, a modern version of a knife designed and carried by Horace Kephart, an American travel writer, and librarian, known as the father of American Woodcraft. This versatile spear point knife is a traditional bushcraft style knife, lending itself well to any task such as batoning campfire wood, woodcarving, skinning, and drilling. Each blade is finished by expert sharpeners, and each blade’s spine features a sharp, ninety-degree angle for scraping or striking a firesteel. The high Scandi grind on the knife lends itself well to bushcraft tasks such as batoning, as the Scandi grind leaves a lot of metal behind the knife-edge, providing a lot of strength.

This knife’s generous “broomstick” style handle is simple, yet comfortable. Thumb scallops further enhance this knife’s performance and versatility, supplying a natural place for pinch holds. The handle’s scales are fastened to the tang with fisheye bolts in addition to a high-strength epoxy. This knife comes with a JRE Industries leather sheath, on which a leather loop has been added that facilitates the carrying of a firesteel. Additional rivets offer a variety of lashing options. The sheath can be used with the included dangler attachment for drop-leg carry, or the dangler can be removed for high ride carry.
