How to use Hunting or Survival Knives in an
Emergency?

• If you are a person who likes to go camping or
  hiking, bringing a hunting knife with you is a
  necessity. More than a tool for slicing and
  dicing food, a hunting or survival knife can be
  very useful in case of emergencies.
• Below are some of the ways to use a hunting or
  survival knife

• Use It as a Hatchet.
• A folding knife or fixed-blade knife will not be
  able to do this neat trick, but a very good
  hunting knife can split wood on a smaller scale.
  With a baton technique, wood carving can be
  accomplished and can fashion throwing sticks or
  survival bows. With the same baton technique, you
  can have wood chips for kindling to make a nice
  fire.
• Fashion a Spear.
• Go beyond a throwing stick and go big with a
  spear. Some hunting knives were actually designed
  to fit on a wooden pole for an improvised spear,
  such as skeleton handles or those with detachable
  handle scales. A spear can be good not just for
  defending yourself, but also for hunting animals
  for food.
• Dig a Hole.
• This is not advisable for smaller knives since
  soil, sand, and rocks will dull them and render
  them useless. Larger knives are able to withstand
  the ground and you can easily dig up a hole in
  case of an emergency call from nature, or to dig
  up edible roots, flowers, or tubers. Keep in mind
  though, that your sharpening supplies are with
  you in order to better care for the knives
  immediately.

• 4. Use It as a Hammer.
• Not the sharp edge, of course. The sturdy handle
  can be used as a hammer for driving in spikes for
  tents, or for opening shellfish. Depending on the
  type of material and the shape, the handle can
  easily be used to break glass, but utmost care
  must be taken.
• 5. Throw It.
• With enough skill and practice, knife-throwing is
  important for survival. Whether as a defense
  mechanism or for hunting small animals, knowing
  how to throw a knife properly will save a life in
  more ways than one.
• 6. Signal for Help.
• With enough light, the shiny blade can be
  reflected and used as a distress signal for other
  people to see. This needs careful maneuvering in
  order to reflect the sunlight at the proper
  angle, but this will surely be helpful especially
  if the knife is kept polished.

• There are many ways to use hunting or survival
  knives in an emergency, but keep in mind that a
  good quality knife is essential. A cheap knife

  broken easily, so make sure that you have the
  best hunting and survival knives.
