The Knife – A Camping Essential

Article by Erickson Dow

Your knife is the most essential item when camping. It is one of man’s oldest, most important tools. The original one was made of flint, shaped into an edge. Today, it has evolved from copper to bronze to iron or steel blades. And in the fine-grained sediment of a dry riverbed, in the Afar Region of Ethiopia, left long ago by an ancient people, lay the oldest relic of a knife ever discovered – dated to be 2.6 million years old. Styled from volcanic rocks, knives have developed into the tool it is today. Basically, knives were used for survival, in securing food and shelter. The oldest knives were formed by means of knapping, the propagation of force separating the sharp flakes of the rock. A few of the oldest knives were made out of obsidian stone.

A knife served as a weapon, eating utensil, and hunting. During the 15th century, those who were not permitted to carry firearms, store their knives in a scabbard on their belts. They used their knives for eating. They were prepared in sets of three, one large hunting knife and two little ones similar to a kitchen paring knife. All were kept in one casing. As the blade developed more as a tool for eating alongside the spoon and fork, its purpose for hunting dwindled.

Up until about 10,000 years ago knives were made of wood, bone, stone, flint or shell. It was about that time that copper was discovered and became the main material used to make blades. In the past 5 millenniums, steel took the place of copper. Today, with advancing technology, knives are made from ceramic, carbon fiber, or titanium.

Knife collecting is a huge business with collectors seeking the rare, unusual or unique design. They are categorized into hunting, military, camping, multi-purpose, sports, fishing and pocketknives. Auction sites are a great source for tracking down rare and exotic pieces.

To keep your knives especially the folding ones, in great working condition, clean it regularly from debris. Drop some oil from time to time to create that smooth feeling when pulling the knife from its case and store it separately in leather sheaths to prevent rust from settling in. If a knife is well maintained, as old guys would say, it still “Walks and Talks well.” Keep knives away from children. Store it properly. Do not use an electric grinder to sharpen the blade. Avoid putting the knife in your pockets with loose change because this might damage the knife’s handle and bolsters.

A friend of mine collects knives. He has every kind you can imagine, but the most impressive one is the one he had custom made with inlaid turquoise and coral in a pattern that he designed himself. All the knives he collected are not only for display, he uses them too especially when he goes to camp. However, the turquoise and coral knife remains behind the glass.

camping utensils question by Chewy: Camping…help please?
K so we have this camping thing with our school and most of my camping gear is with my dad, so I was wondering what is an ideal way to pack enough things for two days and what good substitutes are for camping essentials (i.e. utensils and plates etc.) Also I need to pack for this tonight so any ideas would be wonderful.

Answer by tobelove75
You definitely need;
Sleeping bag, pillow, warm clothes (depending on where you are at), waterproof jacket (incase it rains) socks, boots. Remember camping isnt about looking cool its about enjoying nature and being comfortable, so if you have clothes that fit both needs go ahead and rock ‘em, otherwise stick with the practical.
Remeber a toothbrush and paste. As far as utensils go there are alot of options, but only if you can get to a store tonight too. Light my Fire makes great all-in-one products, as well as the standard blue-fleck tin plates/bowls/mugs/etc.
If you cant get to a store, take a plastic plate (or a couple paper if you have to). Same with utenstils, either take the real stuff (not your Mom’s silver of course) and keep them in a zip-lock bag. Since it’s a school function I’m sure much of this will already be provided for you, but since I dont know the nature, no pun intended, of this trip (social, educational, survival skills?) I cannot hone my advice more thouroughly.
Hopefully you have a big back pack that you can stuff your essentials in, with the bedding tied on the side. And I didnt mention a tent yet, but of course you need one of those.
If all else fails, give you Dad a call and beg & plead
Good Luck.
