As a species, man has always relied on tools. The
knife is one of those tools that has been around
forever. We don't have the built-in claws for digging or
defense or the teeth for eating that our wild animal
friends are equipped with. As a weapon or tool it
increases production and defense levels. Things to
look for in a knife:
- Durability
- The right size for your most common tasks
- The right edge for your most common work
- A comfortable grip
There are many things to consider when purchasing
a knife for use rather than collecting. Some divers
prefer a blunt tip knife to reduce the risk of
puncturing their dive gear. Blade steel and finish
are also considerations. Smooth edge, serrated,
saw-toothed and combos are all useful but each for a
different task. |
