Survival Knife Reviews

Hey Guys and Gals. I found this Buck Paklite Skinner at Wally World recently and thought I take it for a spin. I’m not a big fan of all metal minimalist designed knives, which is one reason I almost passed this knife up. But I figured for a $20 bill I could find some use for it, even if it was only to throw in my boat or glove box of my pickup.

Once I got it home and out of the bubble package, which is a freakin’ chore, one which you need a bigger knife for, my first impression of this knife was “flimsy”. Although it doesn’t bend obviously, it just ‘felt’ flimsy. Possibly because of it’s ultra light weight, I dunno.

Okay, I’m going to come clean. I get a huge laugh out of many of the so called ‘Survival Knife Reviews’ on YouTube. I watch a lot of these and realize that the person doing the review has probably never, or very rarely, used a knife in either a Camping or Survival situation. Well, that’s not fair, most of us have never been in a true survival situation where we had to depend on our blades for our life. But in reality, most of us who buy survival knives do so to take them camping with us or out hiking around the woods.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ll find something useful here on this site. My goal here is to bring you real world survival knife reviews. With the cost of knives in general, and survival knives specifically, I hope to let you see first hand how well built a survival knife is before you lay down your hard earned money. If you’re anything like me, I’ve ordered more than one kind of knife and had it be a piece of crap once I got it. My goal here is to help prevent this for my readers.
