10 Reviews: Best Survival Knife for Chopping Wood (Apr 2024)

With a blade length of 6.3 inches, the Fallkniven F1 is an 11-inch knife that includes a Kranton handle and a Zytel sheath. The sheath keeps the long, thick steel blade from rusting while being stored. The scaly grip on this knife’s handle provides a lot of friction, making it easier to hold and more comfortable to use. Its full tang construction makes it more robust and long-lasting than other knives of the same design.

"If I could have but one knife in this world, this would be the one. But this is not the case in this world of hundreds of quality knives to choose from. But the FN1K is definitely on the short list until all our knives are taken from us because they are dangerous. I would then hide my FN1K and give up all the rest."

The Cold Steel SRK survival knife has a 6-inch blade. The concealed sheath on this 6-inch blade ensures its safety. As if it wasn’t enough to strengthen your grip, this knife’s handle is also rough. Moreover, the broad tang of this knife provides a more secure grip. Because of the complete tang, this knife has extraordinary strength and can withstand any strain or torture when you’re out there struggling to survive.

"Well balanced. Good grip. Really nice sheath. Brass-lined lanyard hole in the end of the handle. Arrives with blade heavily greased. I don’t know about all that “issued to BUDS” stuff (it’s my understanding they get a bigger, beefier fixed blade knife), but it would make a good lightweight dive knife. Got it as a gift for someone who used to be a navy diver, and I’m sure they’ll like it."

A 1095 Cro-Van robust steel blade is included among the features of the KA-BAR Becker BK22 Companion knife’s specs. And a fixed blade that measures 5.5 inches. This one has a velvety grip, so it’s not only easy to handle but also really pleasant. Furthermore, this knife has a weight that is greater than what is considered to be the ideal weight for a survival knife, and it also has a complete tang.

"Heavy, but expected. Well made and balanced. With it you will feel confident, to say the least. The only fear is losing it. Bought kydex sheath separately, but ok. Overall, YES!"

The handle of this Gerber LMF II Knife is made of rough kranton to ensure a secure grip. This one, in contrast to the others, has serrations on its blade that measures 4.84 inches, which offers more functions. The rust-resistant properties of the rust-resistant 420 HC stainless steel blade contribute to the extended lifespan of the blade. This knife would be the best companion for survival including outdoor activities.

"This knife will get you out of any jam including the zombie apocalypse!!!! Very well made with attention to detail- the folks at Gerber get a high 5 for making a class 1 knife!!!! Keep up the GREAT work and carry on!!!!"

This one is an exceptional performer. The handle of the Schrade is constructed out of stainless steel. It has a total height of 10.4 inches, with a sturdy blade made of 1095 powder-coated steel taking up 5.4 inches of that space. Along with the fantastic sheath and a honing stone that is included with it, this is the ideal knife you can have thanks to the fact that it can withstand a significant amount of abuse without experiencing any problems.

"I purchased this knife for my wife to use when we go camping. She has used it for various camping chores and for batoning wood. She loves it!"

Among Condor’s best-known knives, the Bushlore Camp Knife is among the best-equipped for camp situations, carving, and batoning. The leather sheath and wooden grip give this sword a vintage feel. Moreover, this simply serves to heighten the mood. As a full tang knife, this one can handle a wide range of activities. Those activities are including cutting and chopping to slicing and dicing.

"It feels great in your hand. This is my first higher quality knife and I love it. It's got a great weight, incredibly sharp out of the box, and it is beautiful looking."

The 1095 High Carbon Steel blade is another extremely high-quality survival knife, and it has an overall length of 9 3/4 inches, with the blade itself measuring 4 1/2 inches. Moreover, this is one of the best survival knives in the world because it has a Pommel, which has a scraper that is specifically built for striking Ferro rods in a safe and effective manner, as well as a leather sheath that includes a whistle and a fire starter.

"Came from factory sharp & ready to use. I like the scandi grind. Tested it on a kiln dried hardwood, it worked great except the coating creates drag"

This one is a big beast that can do big jobs outside. The Junglas was first made as a cross between a machete and a fixed-blade knife for fighting drugs in Latin American forests. Now, woodsmen and adventurers all over the world choose this knife. The knife is great for hard jobs that call for a big but light knife. Even though this knife is small and light, it has a lot of energy and can help with any camping task or big job a bushcrafter may need to do.

"You can't beat these knives, literally! I'm sure mine will last through a lifetime of chopping up wood for campfires and other hacking I will put it through. Such a well made knife you'll never need another."

This mora knife is almost as good as the best chopping wood knife. It’s fun to use it out in the field. Besides shaving wood, scraping the spine, and carving, this knife makes it very easy to baton through medium and small sticks. Because it has a full tang, which is needed for heavy-duty outdoor work. Moreover, the blade is made of the famous Swedish steel Sandvik 14C28N, which is recognized for being very hard, resistant to corrosion, extremely sharp, and tough.

"I have beat this knife, hard, for the last year. Went on two survival expeditions and have yet to be disappointed. Easy to sharpen. Hold edge well."

This 3-in-1 knife is the best tool for preparedness and survival. Anyone who enjoys being outside should have one. The most important thing about this knife is it is made of good stainless steel. This tool can be used to cut, but it can also be used in two other ways that make it very useful. It has a fire starter to help you start a fire while camping and a chirp to get help if you need it. It also has a sleeve clip to make it easy to carry. Thus, this three-in-one survival knife can really save your life.

"We ordered a few other things along with this knife. I'm impressed with the quality of everything we ordered. Our next order will be the fourth time we came back for more. The batons are my favorite by the way. "
