Choosing the right camping knife can be as challenging and as critical as choosing the right camping spot. Some of the heavy hitters in the camp knife world include ESEE, TOPS, Moraniv, and Ontario. These brands all specialize in top quality, field tested camp knives that will never let you down. Camping knives can run the gamut from folding pocket knives to massive boar slaying machetes. All can be useful out there in the wild but determining what your specific camp knife needs are is the best way to get started. But remember, if you're not taking at least 5 to 10 knives with you on a camping trip then you are doing it wrong. If you only have room for one then you will want it to have the toughness and versatility to handle any and all camp duties. Or maybe pack less underwear and bring a few more knives.
