Your survival knife is one of the most important tools in your survival arsenal; you will use it over and over, everyday in a survival situation and it does more than just make your life easier.

In some cases, it can be a life-saver and that means you have to keep your knife well maintained and in good order. Knife safety, however, is just as important as maintaining your knife in the best possible condition.

One slip and you can make your survival situation go from bad to dire in a millisecond.

This is particularly true if you are already in a high stress survival situation or SHTF moment – needing stitches when the power is down or you are in the middle of nowhere is a prescription for trouble.

Check out the video on the next page for several tips on how to safely handle your survival knife.
