When choosing a survival knife, there are many things that must be taken into consideration. In what sorts of environments so you see yourself using it? Will you use it more for hunting or tool and shelter construction?
Many survival knives also have a steep price tag due to the fact that the manufacturers know lives depend on the blades and they need to provide the highest quality possible. That said, what is your budget? To learn how to take these considerations into account, take a look at the video below.
A good survival knife is made from sturdy steel. It can go a long time between sharpenings as it may have to when you get into a survival situation. A good survival knife is also a full-tang (meaning the metal that makes up the blade extends all the way to the base of the handle) sheath knife.
According to the video and many other survival sources, folding blades don't make dependable survival tools because the joints can break, rendering the blade useless. Keep these tips in mind when you're looking to choose an ideal survival knife to add to your arsenal of tools.

First you need survival skills, second you need to keep physically fit, third you need just a basic strong and not to long sturdy knife-like a military K-Bar- not fancy, all purpose strong knife. lastly- be always practical and get off the fancy over lone wolf macho Bullshit. The knives advertised are made for night time fantasy Ninja dreams bed time macho survivalist need to make them sleep happy. LOL

How about saying, hey, Dave here, I was in the military and trained in blah blah or I have been hiking 25 years and found this knife to work for me.
