Knives FAQs
How can I protect my knives?
Depending on the kind of knife you own, there are different ways that you may want to protect it. For example, if you are asking about steak knives or other kitchen cutlery, the best place to store them is in a wooden knife block. These blocks can be used in the kitchen on the counter, but there are also others that can be built and placed underneath the cabinets. Other knives, like hunting or camping knives, are often placed in sheaves and taken care of that way.
What types of things should be included with my survival knife?
What do you think you will need to survive? Basically, you are going to want to have your very own MacGyver kit that will allow you to have the small things you need to survive any situation. Some of the standard items that are often included with these knives are matches, a compass, a small rope or string, a sharpening kit, toothpicks and other small accessories. These items are often placed directly inside of the knife and can be removed by unscrewing the bottom of the knife. Often, the part that a person unscrews also doubles as the knife’s compass.
