You'll find compact models as well as larger fixed blades from trusted manufacturers including Kershaw, Gerber, Smith & Wesson, Schrade, Boker, Cold Steel, and more. Choosing a Boot Knife When choosing a boot knife, consider the blade length, blade steel, blade style, handle design, sheath, overall size, and intended use. Some models feature compact blades that prioritize easy carry, while larger designs provide additional cutting length for outdoor and utility tasks. A secure sheath is an important part of a boot knife's design. Depending on the model, sheaths may offer different attachment and carry options, so consider how and where you plan to carry the knife before choosing a particular design. Boot Knives for Outdoor Use and Everyday Carry Boot knives aren't limited to one type of activity. Their compact fixed-blade construction makes them useful for camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, outdoor work, and everyday utility.
