When hunting It is very important to have good knives that holds there edge. Now some people like to take a pocket knife. For the reason that it folds and can fit in a pocket nicely and will not get in the way. Fixed knives have there advantages to, and many people prefer them when hunting large game. The reason is that it is a more traditional form of knives and they are much sturdier then pocket knives for the obvious reason that there are no moving parts, and this makes them very difficult to brake. When hunting you also have the option of getting knives with gut hooks. This is just a small hook that is put in to the back side of the blade that makes gutting your most resent kill that much easier. There are those that still prefer to hunt with a plain edge knife, me being one of them. You can also get knives with a serrated edge combo, witch is helpful when cutting though tough parts of a animal like if you have to cut though bone or other tough surfaces what you are sure to need every once and a while.
While talking about serrated knives if you are involved in search and rescue it might be a good idea to have a knife that is serrated to cut though strong straps that you might find on back packs, seat belts, or rope. Also if involved in search and rescue getting a knife with a rounded tip might be a good idea so that you don’t accidentally impale the person that you are trying to help. Also when scuba diving it is good to have a knife with a rounded tip so you don't puncture any of the devices that are keeping the person alive.
As you can see there are many uses for knives and there are many different types of knives to uses depending of the circumstances. What I have talked about is just the tip of the iceberg. Another option that you might want to explore is a survival kit with the uncertainty in today’s world. It might be a good Idea to hope for the best, and prepare for the worst, and a survival kit is not complete with out a few knives. The most important thing is to remember to always be safe with knives.
