Tactical Folding Knife Accessories

Experience teaches that once you start collecting tactical gear, the urge to get add-ons and accessories grows rapidly. It might start off with a tactical folding knife but soon enough you want a custom made belt holder, or maybe a custom handle for your pocket knife, or a small axe in matching materials. At the same time, once you start going outdoors in a proper way – meaning fishing, hunting and trekking for several days – you will realize that you won’t get far with just a tactical folding knife. It all comes down to needing more gear.

Here is a shortlist of items that I recommend as they constitute usable tools at a reasonable price from established brands. You can click the images to view more information about each product.

Gerber Tactical Folding Spade with Serrated Blade
Start making camp out there and the very first thing you will wish you had is a spade. The Gerber Entrenching Tool folding spade is lightweight, very sturdy and folds into a neat package that is less than a foot long. It has a serrated blade and a secure blade locking mechanism. This is the exact same item that is authorized for use by the Nato forces.

Skinner Knife and Camping Axe Combo

If you don’t want to carry a shovel at least consider a camping axe. Just splitting firewood can be a hard and hazardous task if all you have is a folding knife. If you hunt, the Timberline Alaska Skinner Knife Axe combo fits the bill. This hunting combo is designed by Russ Kommer.

Tactical Survival Sleeper with insect net
This item is rated as an absolute favorite in the Backpacker and Outside magazines. The Lawson Camping Hammock is a extremely lightweight flat surface hammock that can be used suspended. It can also serve as a single sleeper mini tent on the ground. Raised arches and mosquito net make this the all-in-one survival shelter you should always have in the car, camper or boat.
