Three Outdoor Utility / Survival Knives Compared

Mon Mar 16 2009
We put three outdoor utility / survival knives side by side to compare their features. Here are the Glock 78 Field Knife, the Benchmade 155 SBK-ADC (with ADC Sheath) and the Cold Steel SRK. All three of these are very well made and strong knives. These are all about the same size in length, but the handles are various sizes and materials.
