Carbon Fiber Knives

Carbon fiber is an extremely hard and durable material that has many benefits over traditional materials. It is lightweight and has superior tensile strength and resists high temperatures and aggressive environments. Because carbon fiber is such a premium material, carbon fiber knives are very expensive. You can choose from several different types of carbon fiber knives, including one with a carbon fiber handle.

Carbon fiber knives are very lightweight, but you should be aware of the limitations of carbon fiber blades. A carbon fiber blade can’t replace a true hardened steel blade. However, it is great for everyday tasks and can be sharpened using a 1500 grit sharpening stone. If you are looking for a cool EDC piece that will look good in your pocket, carbon fiber is a great choice.

Kershaw has made a carbon fiber version of its famous Leek knife, which many users have praised as the ultimate EDC. It features a 3-inch blade and carbon fiber handles, and weighs only 2.4 ounces. Another good choice is the Boker Plus Anti-Grav, which is made from lightweight materials. It features an all-black blade and carbon fiber handle scales.

While carbon fiber is an expensive material, G-10 is a very durable alternative for everyday use. G-10 is an alloy of fiberglass and resin that stands up to the elements very well. It is more affordable than carbon fiber and is available in many colors. It is often found in black, but different finishes are available.

The Edge carbon fiber knife features an incredibly cool handle that is reinforced with a layer of twill weaved carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is very stiff, lightweight, and incredibly strong. In fact, it is so strong that it is widely used in many industries. The carbon fiber knife’s handle feels cool in your hand, despite its long blade. Its blade is 34mm long, and the handle is 84mm long in the open position. It weighs 16 grams.

A carbon fiber knife is an extremely unique product. It is not a typical pocket knife and requires special attention to make it as durable as possible. The materials are not indestructible, but it is surprisingly strong and durable. If you are looking for a knife that can withstand extreme environments, carbon fiber is an excellent choice.

Another durable material for knife handles is stainless steel. This material is extremely durable and resistant to corrosion. However, it is also quite heavy and can make them difficult to carry in your pocket. Stainless steel handles are usually paired with synthetic or rubber for a better grip. The downside of stainless steel handles is that they can be slippery, which makes them unsuitable for everyday use.

Survival Knives – A Useful Tool

knife1When camping, a survival knife is essential. It can serve many important purposes. Depending on the type of knife you get, you can use it to cut wood or slice through rope or even to clear brush out of your way.

There are a lot of different kinds of survival knives and the best way to select the right one for you will depend on the purpose you intend to use the knife for. There are three main types of knife to consider: the fixed blade knife, the folding blade knife (which is often referred to as a pocket knife), and the multi-tool survival knife. Each knife has many benefits that make it a great knife to own.knife2

The fixed blade knife is usually sturdier than the folding blade or the multi-tool knife but may not be as easy to carry and conceal as the other types. Most have a sheath that attaches to a belt to make it easier to carry.

The folding blade knife is concealed within the handle. While it’s easier to carry and conceal, it can’t be used for the same purposes as a fixed blade knife, as it has a shorter blade, and won’t be as strong as a fixed blade knife If the spring mechanism fails to open, you could end up without a blade.

The multi-tool survival knife is a favorite among wild campers. This knife features other attachments that make it easy to use in a variety of circumstances. Tools that you might find on this knife include: scissors, pliers, a screwdriver, a bottle opener, a wire-stripper, and a can opener. Some companies manufacture multi-tool knives that are geared toward a specific activity like hunting. The blade of your knife can be made with a variety of materials including stainless steel, ceramic, and carbon steel. Each material has advantages and disadvantages.

Ceramic blades are tough, but also fragile. They make good knives for basic tasks like cleaning a fish but they will break easily if dropped against a rock or other hard surface. For this reason, it’s suggested that you use your ceramic knife as a backup to a heavy duty knife made of steel.

Remember, in some jurisdictions, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon!

Top 5 Camping Gadgets

photo-1477512076069-d31eb021716fCamping out can be so much more pleasant and safer if you have gadgets that can help. Once you have the necessities for camping, it’s perfectly fine to begin upgrading your kit with items that make life more convenient or that contribute to your safety and need for food, water and shelter.  While there are many modern gadgets available there are five that no one should be without unless you want to want to live on the edge.

How long does your cell phone battery last without charging? Most phones these days have so many applications working on them that they need to be charged every 24 hours. If you are not on a campsite, that can be difficult to arrange. A solar powered charger for your cell phone and your radio will help ensure that you can call for help, or check on changing weather conditions if you need to. There are 3-in-1 gadgets available that mean you can charge your cell phone, have a radio and a flashlight all contained one easy to carry gadget.photo-1477544437652-fdfbf813e056-1

Collecting wood for a fire can take time and if it’s wet, it can be hard to light. You also need a lot of wood for cooking. Portable solar cookers are great gadgets to have. They set up anywhere and provide a method for you to cook on instantly. It means you can also boil water for safe drinking supplies. At extra bonus is that you can use this at home too when the power’s gone out. Of course, you have to be camping (or living) in an area with sufficient light to recharge the solar battery!

Another way of purifying your water without having to boil it or use pills is to use a UV water purification wand. These tools look like wands and purify your water in just under a minute.

If you are camping away from a camping site, then a flint and knife bracelet is the perfect pairing, if you want to build your own fire and not lug solar chargers with you. It’s a little corded bracelet that fits around your wrist and gives you immediate access to a fire starter and a sharp knife right away.

A tent hammock is another gadget can improve your comfort levels. Not only do you get protection from outside intruders like mosquitoes, but you’re lifted off the ground to protect you from water or land animals.

There are so many gadgets that can be used to make camping more comfortable, if you have the space to carry them. There are containers that create power from any form of liquid, clothes that repel bugs just based on the materials they’re made from, and solar backpacks that have a solar panel soaking up the sun while you trek around so that you can use the energy it absorbs later – these can also be used when commuting for power on the go.

Once all of your basic needs are met you could look at cool gadgets that can make your camping experience more comfortable.
