There are so many knives to choose from in the camping market, how do you choose which knife?  Do you go with the small 1 or 2 inch blade for its small compact size?  Do you go with a multi purpose tool that has various knife blades?  Or what if you buy the larger 6 inch blade with a serrated edge?  All of these questions are reasonable to ask when one is deciding on what kind of knife to buy.

The real answer is that the choice depends on your life style and what you would find yourself using the knife mostly for.  For example, if you are going to need for quick little repairs, tightening screws, or eating food, you would most likely want to buy a multi-purpose tool.  These knives have many features to them besides the knife.  These extra features will come in hand on long camping trips.  Maybe you plan on using your knife only for cutting up sticks to make a fire.  Then the 6 inch knife with the serrated edge would be a better choice to effective cut through the logs.  Again, there are many kinds of knives out there.  The one you should buy depends on what you would be using the knife mainly for.
