Multi-Purpose Knives

BY TREAD STAFF

If you spend any amount of time in the great outdoors, it’s a good idea to carry a knife with you. A quality knife can be a useful tool to have and if required, even a simple blade can perform multiple purposes. From gathering kindling to starting your campfire to preparing food, and even protection from the unknown hazards of exploration, having a knife available to you can be a lifesaver. While a single bladed knife can get most jobs done, we think it can be a prudent move to carry a knife that is purposely built to take on more. They say that the best knife is the one you have on hand. We can’t argue with that logic, but we can suggest looking into a multi-purpose knife from the get-go so you are prepared for most any situation. The knives in the following selection are packed with useful features that ordinary knives can’t match. Which one would you choose for your next romp to the outdoors?
