The Wrong Grind: CDS Explorer Survival Knife Review

Survival knives are knives suitable for survival purposes in a wilderness environment, often within an emergency when the user has lost almost all of his/her main equipment. Armed service units issue some kind of survival knife to pilots in the situation their plane may be shot down. Survival knives can be applied for holding, skinning, wood cutting, solid wood carving, and other uses. Hunters, hikers, and outdoor sport enthusiasts use survival knives. Some survival knives heavy-bladed and dense. Other survival knives are lightweight or fold in order to save weight and bulk as part of a larger survival kit. Their functions often include serving as a hunting knife. Features, such as hollow handles that could be used as storage space for suits or similar small items, started out gaining popularity in the 1980s. Custom or semi-custom makers such as Americans Jimmy Lile, Bo Randall, and Chris Reeve are usually credited with inventing those features.

 This video The Wrong Grind: CDS Explorer Survival Knife Review is review survival knives.

The Explorer is a Stainless Steel take on a mid weight survival knife. The problem that I immediately ran into was the short hollow grind they chose to put on this knife. It was difficult to reshapen and did not perform well at all in most survival bushcraft tasks. Almost everything else about the knife I love. If they make a new version with a saber grind or FFG this knife would really shine.

But of course survival is not just about knives.  For a wilderness survival scenario of 72 hours to a week your big and heavy survival knife is perfect.  But right after you are past that point you eventually will learn that it completely sucks for long term use.

It is also about being organized.  Find other survival accessories here in Banggood
