The survival knife is a specialized tool designed to aid in wilderness survival situations, particularly when the user has lost their primary equipment. Military pilots, hunters, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts rely on these knives to perform a variety of tasks, from setting traps and carving wood to skinning animals and self-defense. The versatile design even allows for attachment to a stick, transforming the knife into a spear for safer wildlife hunting.
Before the late 19th century, outdoor and military knives were not notably different from those used by butchers. Handles were simple wooden slabs riveted to the tang, and blades were relatively thin. Serrations were added in the 19th century for wood sawing and fish scaling. During WWII, survival knives were issued to aircraft crews and included in naval survival kits due to the possibility of being stranded in wilderness or enemy territory. These knives varied in design across branches and nations, with most being commercial knives bought in bulk by the military. However, since the Vietnam War, purpose-built survival knives have continued to evolve.
Several militaries, including those of the People's Republic of China, Great Britain, Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States, have redesigned their bayonets to incorporate survival knife features. Previously, bayonets were primarily designed as thrusting weapons and were inadequate for field use. The new models function more effectively for everyday tasks while still allowing for attachment to a rifle's muzzle.
This survival knife is a testament to the evolution of survival tools, offering both reliability and versatility for any outdoor adventure or emergency situation.
Shipping times refer to carrier transit time after an item ships. They do not include production time, custom work, engraving, etching, or other preparation time before shipment.
In-stock items typically ship within 1 to 4 business days, though this can occasionally take longer during high-volume periods or for items requiring extra handling. Engraving or etching on in-stock items may add 1 to 3 business days before shipment.
Custom, engraved, altered, made-to-order, backordered, and specialty items (including armor and chess sets) may require additional production time before they ship. Fully custom items typically take 4 to 8 weeks, but complex requests may take longer depending on the design, materials, approvals, and production requirements.
