What is the best knife?

Handmade Damascus Steel Brass Bolster
Ah, the old question "what is the best knife". This question has many answers, with everyone having theirs. Some people say that it is the knife they made and sell for hundreds of dollars, others say it is the one that is the favorite of those they own. My answer to this question is the knife you have, assuming we are talking about a knife you carry with you every day (EDC knife).

Again, asking what the "best knife" is without any other context is impossible. Handmade Damascus Steel Brass Bolster and folding knives, kitchen knives, EDC knives, automatic knives, butterfly knives, serrated knives, non-serrated knives, partial knives, OTF knives, steak knives and camping knives, etc. And under these categories, there are even more that flow from each. Each mentioned knife is completely different and has its own uses, they can not be exchanged!

Based on the nature of the question, I guess you are a new buyer, trying to find the best knife. No matter who answers this question, they will not have a good or bad answer because there is no "better knife", for this reason, I will not give an answer. But I encourage you to send me a message and I would be more than happy to give you suggestions on the knives!
What is the best survival knife, do you think?
This can become very subjective when you ask "what is the best of something".

Typically, when we say survival knife, we mean a knife that can perform a number of tasks well outside.

More specifically, what you plan to do with a survival knife comes down to your preferences, your skill level, and your environment.

That's why most experts agree that you should look for some key elements in a survival knife because these things will ensure that you will have the opportunity to do most of the things you need to do in a survival situation.

The key things are:

Folding knives with fixed blades have a potential breaking point in case of intensive use
full tang - this ensures that the knife is usually more durable than those who do not have a full tang (but not always)
tip - useful for sculpture, self-defense, and like a spear when attached to a stick
single edge blade - flat spine with sharp edges so that the knife can be used as a Ferro rod firing pin to create fires, and allows you to knock on the spine of the knife for cutting tasks
pommel - need a solid pommel that is part of the floss of the knife so you can use the knife like a hammer to drive or crush things
size - the ideal total length of the knife is between 9 and 11 inches
These are expert guidelines to help you get a knife that will allow you to do most of the required tasks in the desert.
For specific knives, these are prices, features, and preferences. There is no single knife above the rest. There are only people who are big fans of certain knives and for good reasons.
Appearances can be deceiving. Functionality is what is most important.
