. . . errr. . . a hunting knife after using it you accidentally loose it while crossing a creek and a fighting knife after using it you intentionally loose it into a sewer grate ?What is the difference between a camp/hunting knife versus a fighting knife ?
Jim Bowie by all accounts wasn’t a Blacksmith. He was a drunken Slaver that owned lots of money and that’s why he and many others were in Texas at the Alamo... a Large Butchering knife is the pattern. Still, No one knows what the exact knife Jim Bowie had in the Sand Hill Fight looked like. They say there’s one his brother made/had??? There were large Butcher knives of the same general design in France a 100 to 200 years earlier .. A fighting knife is what you have with you at the time needed.Once upon a time one was meant to intimidate like switch blades, butterfly's, bowies etc. But now even a SAK intimidates snow flakes. so I can't help but think the line is blurred a little bit.
I was watching a video on Jim Bowie, and they showed what they believed was one of his original knives. I was surprised how much it looked like a large chefs knife. And when you think about how many people get killed by chef knives maybe these tatical guys have it all wrong and should be making those instead for SD lol
$100.00...and a lot of fanboys who would crap themselves while running away from anything resembling a knife fight...
defining a camp knife ...?!
https://blademag.com/knife-collecting/what-is-a-camp-knife
is probably simpler to define.
a fighting knife on the other hand,
is a little harder to nail;
as it means different things
to different people...
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/what-makes-a-fighting-knife.154396/
to a martialist or knife combatives practitioner it could mean
a knife purely with a single imtent.
and depending on the style of fighting
an edge weapon could come in many forms.
in military circles perhaps,
something a little more robust and
soldier proof.
in the real world it would be hard
for anyone to separate the knife
in hand for nasty business versus
every day utility.
which is why its best to stay clear
from anything with a long blade
and narrow width,
when camping comes to mind
