What is the best knife for bushcraft, camping, or survival? It’s one of the most common questions I get from new outdoorsmen, and the answer isn’t as simple as buying the most expensive knife on the market.

In this video, I’ll explain the differences between fixed blade and folding knives, how blade length affects performance, why steel type matters (and when it doesn’t), how blade grinds change the way a knife cuts, and which knife is best for different outdoor tasks.

Whether you’re interested in bushcraft, camping, hunting, overlanding, or survival, choosing the right knife is about matching the tool to the job—not following the latest trends.
