Hikers, hunters, and outdoors sports enthusiasts use their survival knife as utility knife.

A survival knife must have a strong fixed blade to maximize its efficiency.

The typical survival knife has a handle that is normally ergonomic to fingers for a better grip. The tip of the handle has a floating compass a supplementary emergency device. All other additional tools are kept inside the handle.

Several survival specialists recommend buying a durable compact survival kit and hunting knife instead of rather than a multi-purpose one. Other survival specialists say that a survival knife with a well-stocked handle is easier to carry as compared to having a knife and emergency kit separately.

Many retailers offer a huge variety of knives with different features, sizes, and shapes. The range of survival knives start from folding multi-tools, to huge blades with special steel.

A knife tang connects the blade to the handle. The two slabs of material are then connected to either side of the metal. Narrow tang types reduce the blade size as it goes in the handle. The handle will then become attached onto the narrower area of the knife. Narrow tang knives sometimes have a pommel connected to the handle.
