Knives have evolved through ancient civilizations to become today's handy and most essential of tools. Nearly everyone owns a utility piece of some sort that goes beyond the ordinary for important tasks. Whether you hunt, fish or golf, there's a design that will become a perfect companion for all the little tasks and surprise events that may arise.

Stainless steel with varying amounts of carbon is commonly used for blades. These provide low maintenance with easy re-sharpening capabilities. They're rust-resistant, too. The higher the carbon, the harder the blade. Serrated versions for hardier chores will typically stay sharp longer. The handle choice will depend on usage. Woods are beautiful, but require some care; composites are designed for extreme conditions and handling and rubberized grips provide superb control. Bone and stainless handles are also beautiful and highly functional.

Next, you'll decide between fixed or folding blade knives. Hunting and tactical models commonly utilize fixed blades while folding blades are for "utility" purposes. These can meet any need from golfing to hiking. Blades that fold into cases are generally safer.

For your hunting needs, you'll find a host of single-edged models that come with a sheath for safety. These are sharp bladed and in varying sizes and some also feature a custom notched spine for heavier cutting chores. The type you choose will depend on the game you typically hunt. You may find that more than one knife is required for cutting bone, gutting and skinning. Of course, folding designs can also be used in the field. The blade mechanism is somewhat weaker than a fixed blade, but for smaller animals these are very serviceable. They're also convenient as you can carry them every day.

Tactical and survival models are also popular. Those who go into the deep woods or are exposed to rough terrain under any circumstances will appreciate the capabilities offered in this collection.

A pocket knife is one of the most convenient items you can own. The compact size makes it a great tool for women, too, as it fits conveniently in purses. They're one of the best all-around utility pieces and include the familiar Swiss Army collection. Pocket styles go well beyond the need for cutting or slicing. Choose the options that are right for you as these are handy to have for camping, travel and everyday use, including in the garden. They're an excellent Scout tool, too!

Multi-tool versions include corkscrews, scissors, screwdrivers and even compasses that are built into the case. For fishermen, models incorporate hook pullers and scalers, along with a device for measuring the catch of the day. Emergency repair chores can be remedied with wire strippers and saw blades.

Whether you're looking for a classic folding knife that's lightweight and easy to use or a serrated blade for hunting and camping, you'll find just the right fit here. You may be in search of a pocket-sized blade with a sewing kit attached. Or perhaps you want a fully stainless design that will aid to survival in the wilds.

Regardless of which style you choose, proper care is necessary. Mainly, keep the blade dry by wiping it down after each use. If you are purchasing a sheath style, remove from the scabbard when not in use. Leather in particular can attract moisture, which will add to the possibility of rusting. Remember that higher carbon steel blades can tarnish over time and may require polishing.
