Clip Point (Bowie) Survival Knives

If you’re going to buy yourself a survival knife, you’re better off choosing one that most survivalists, hunters, and outdoorsmen favor such as clip point survival knives.  A clip point survival knife is arguably one of the best tools you can use when you’re out in the wild – whether you’re just out camping or hunting some game.

Clip point knives are perfect for stabbing and piercing (think self-defense) – a feature you may have need of in case you find yourself battling a boar or a bear. The blade’s design allows for quick and deep penetration as well as a fast withdrawal. While some will say that Bowie survival knives are best used for fighting, Jim Bowie himself will disagree. A Bowie survival knife is actually quite versatile. It can be used for preparing food while in the woods such as skinning game. The curved tip of the knife provides you with more control when you’re cutting something like meat. In addition, the blade’s size enables you to use this tool for chopping while the narrow tip can be used as a pick. Clip point survival knives are also great for creating spring traps. Lastly, the spine of the clip can be sharpened to create a second edge which makes the knife a more effective piercing or stabbing tool.

While there is still a lot of ongoing debate on what the best survival knife is, you definitely won’t go wrong if you choose a clip point survival knife.
