The Hands-Free Knife That Makes Camping Safer and Simpler

You can’t outsmart the wild, but you can out-gear it.  

With the right tools, “roughing it” feels a little less… rough.

Pitching a tent doesn’t make you want to pitch a fit, and camp chores feel easier. 

Imagine for a moment what it would be like to camp hands-free– a safe, lightweight ring knife right on your finger, ready for anything from cutting rope to prepping kindling. That’s what the Handy Safety Knife® is—and that’s what it does for anyone who enjoys adventuring outdoors. 

When you bring it into the wild with you, it doesn’t add bulk to your backpack. It’s literally on hand when you need it. Its design makes it a safe alternative to a larger, fixed blade for many applications, too, so you are less likely to injure yourself when wielding it. 

Wondering what you can do with a Handy Safety Knife® next time you set up camp? Let’s look at specific applications.

Outdoor Applications

• Campfire Help: Use your Handy Safety Knife® to cut open firewood bundles, or to shave twigs or small branches to create kindling. 

If the fire fails to start, you won’t have to hunt high and low for your blade to prepare more wood. That’s the benefit of using a wearable ring knife!

• Cleaning and Gutting Fish: If your camping adventure involves fishing, our Razor’s Edge™ Knife can help you clean and gut your catch. 

Unlike our Ball Point Safety® Knife, which has a rounded tip, the Razor’s Edge™ model features a sharp, stainless steel tip. Use it with caution! 

Worried about your blade corroding? Fear not. The Razor’s Edge™ model’s composition includes chromium to make it rust-resistant.

• Cut Fishing Line, Paracord, Rope, Twine, Tape, or Zip Ties: Whether you need to create a clothesline, hang a hammock, secure your tent, or repair gear, your Handy Safety Knife® can help you cut the materials you need to get the job done! 

• Field Dressing Game: If you’re hunting while camping, you can field dress deer and any other game with our Razor’s Edge™ Knife.

Want extra durability? Opt for an Ultra-Gold® Blade Coating at checkout.   

This Titanium Nitride (TiN) ceramic coating is FDA and USDA approved, and triples blade life to ensure that your blade endures for many hunting expeditions! 

• First Aid Fixes: If you manage to injure yourself while camping, you can use a Handy Safety Knife® to cut bandages or even materials for a splint. 

To keep things sanitary, you obviously won’t want to use the The Razor’s Edge™ model you just used to field dress that deer! 

Consider picking up one of our HTK Variety Blade Three-Packs so you will have multiple ring knives for a variety of applications!

• Foraging/Harvesting: While camping, you may wish to sample any wild herbs, mushrooms, or berries you find growing nearby. A Handy Safety Knife® can help with that! 

We should emphasize, however, that a Handy Safety Knife® cannot prevent you from harvesting potentially harmful items like these deadly mushrooms. In a word: Eek! 

Always bring a field guide with you so you can confidently identify safe edibles.

• Open Food Packages and Bait Containers: When it’s time to cook or cast a line, you can use your Handy Safety Knife® to open stubborn packaging or containers. 

After using it to open one item, opening something else is easy. Look no further than your finger for a solution! 

• Sharpen Sticks Into Skewers or Tent Stakes: Forgot to bring your fancy telescoping S’mores sticks? No problem. 

Use a Handy Safety Knife® to sharpen the end of a stick, transforming it into a suitable skewer for a hot dog or marshmallow. 

Missing a tent stake? No problem—just grab a sturdy stick and sharpen it into a makeshift one. Another problem solved!

Ready for Your Next Adventure? 

Before you venture into nature again for a weekend of camping, be sure to bring a Handy Safety Knife® or two (or three) with you. Browse our products online to select the models that suit your needs best. 

As a person who loves the Great Outdoors, you may also be happy to know that our knives go the distance in the garden, too! When you order your knives for camping, why not purchase some for your green thumb (or, rather, finger) too?
