What we think of as a survival knife did not get in the picture until the turn of the century
Later in WWII Survival knives where given to aircraft crews. To planes and helicopters so that if they got shot down and stuck in there craft they could cut there way of though the canopy. Witch is why on the back of some survival knives they are seriated. To cut though things easier. The navy also included them in there survival kits. Later the military tried to kill two birds with one stone by making the bayonets more like a survival knife.
Survival knives as we think of them did not get into the picture until the turn of the century. Before then men would use knives that looked more like a butcher knives. It was that way until a man named Webster Marbles came up with the idea of making the blade heavier. giving them pommels, and cross guards. These knives some what looked like a Bowie knife, and are much more effective in the woods than a Butcher Knife.
Later in WWII Survival knives where given to aircraft crews. To planes and helicopters so that if they got shot down and stuck in there craft they could cut there way of though the canopy. this is the reason that some survival knives are seriated on the back side of the knife. To cut though things easier. The navy also included them in there survival kits. Later the military tried to kill two birds with one stone by making the bayonets more like a survival knife. So the bayonet could be used as a field knife but also have the ability to attach to the muzzle of a rifle. A very good idea.
There are many features that a survival knife might have. Many of these knives are made with a serration on its back side. This is meant for cutting though thin metal. Some knives have a hollow hand where you can put things like matches or maybe something for first aid kit. These types of knives where made very popular by Rambo first blood. After this move came out there was a huge demand for these style knives.
There are many examples of fixed blade survival knives. there are lot's of knives that are viewed as survival knives. Like multi purpose knives, machetes with cutting characteristics, knives that you put around your neck. So when you head off into the woods don?t forget to bring you survival knife because you never know what might happen, and it is always better to have a knife and not need it, then to not have a knife and need it.
