The knife. Where would a survivalist be without one? Having a knife is one of the most useful tools in existence, if not the most incredible tool available. You can hunt with one, have it strapped around your waist for protection, and have it on hand for cutting things such as a rope and even bark off of a tree to make medicine!
The uses for a knife are endless, really, and crafting a knife that you can pass down to your children is all the more motivating to create them on your own time.
You probably already have quite a few knives that you're prepared to bring with you when the collapse takes place. Sure, you can absolutely buy a relatively inexpensive knife that's beautiful and that will last a while, but why do that when you can make one?
Most preppers enjoy handcrafting their tools and handcrafting gives you a huge advantage: being able to craft a tool that fits your style and needs.
With just a few basic tools and some elbow grease, find out how you can create a knife that you can bring with you and stick in your bug out bag when SHTF.

What the F is going on here? Does say anything about making the blade. Garbage.
I’m part Tonto all I need is a couple of pine cones to take em out.
I have a Leatherman Wave (new model) its perfectly fine, way better than some ham-handed 1/2 arsed single blade jobby that you may not even have the skills to put a decent edge on.
Who brings a knife to a gun fight anyway 🙂
Gibb’s rule #9. Always carry a knife.
Pretty shitty “tutorial”
Here’s one of the bushcraft knives I make.
From what I’ve found, leaf springs from newer vehicles are not suited for knife making. They don’t heat treat properly.
But ones from the 70’s and older era work extremely well!
Here’s one I made from a 71 dodge spring
Just “A” knife? I never go anywhere without at least 2 on my person, usually a regular knife and a multi-tool.

But…but…but…what about the “tactical flashlight” so heavily advertised on FB???? With that flashlight I’m pretty sure I don’t even need food or water (or air), so why would I need a knife?
