The HX Outdoors D-121 Survival Knife is a great knife to have with you in a survival situation or just in the outdoors while camping. This knife is is made from 440C stainless steel and is coated in titanium. It is a fixed blade knife and makes excellent wood shavings for starting fire. It also can make a good throwing knife. Above is a video of Blake Alma showing off this great knife.
Gripping the Knife
Take your hands and grab onto the handle of the blade. Make your hand as a fist while holding. Lock your hands and strike woods for wood shaving or to whittle. You can also use this grip to penetrate objects.
