As a soldier, you should keep your tools and weapons, to make it as needed to play the biggest role. Especially the knife to stay sharp. In survival plight, the knife is one of the most useful tools.
Imagine a knife in survival plight has no any other weapons situation! It is likely to happen! There’s even no knife. So you must learn how to temporary make tools and weapons.

The stick
There are three main types of sticks.
Simple sticks. Is a simple rod or branch, not too long, otherwise is not easy to swing, but also cannot too short, should be long enough, strong enough, can we make each other damage.
Add sticks. Aggravating the stick is in simple one end of the stick to increase weight, weight can be natural, such as wood section, and also can be added, such as a stone, then you need some tied with rope.
Here to teach you how to increase the stick —
Looking for a stone, shape must fit tightly tied to the stick and the hourglass shape stone is very good. Looking for a piece of wood length is moderate, if can find the straight grain hardwood is the best.
Low bound the stones on the wood.
Tied to the sticks on the stones there are three kinds of techniques: split method, using the fork, and the coiling method. Depending on which one to use technology
In the types of sticks.
Cast stone sticks. Bar is another stone is aggravating, just add the weight of the hanging on the stick.
Cast stone sticks crackdown far stronger than the other aggravating.
You can also put some sand or stones into the socks, that’s a great stone, but this can only be used once made great stone.
A sword
In chapter 2, you already know survival kit must be included in the portable folding knife, but you may need another tool. You can use wood, bone, stone or metal for a knife or blame.
The following is a step of wooden knife —
When looking for a piece of about 12 inches (30 centimeters) long and about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter straight grain hardwood. Low take hardwood 6 inches (15 centimeters) long into the blade, blade is slightly deviated from the center of the wood, so that can avoid wood pulp, wood pulp is soft wood parts, using it to do edge is not very strong).
If there is a fire, put the blade part in fire baking, until slightly burnt, wood is dry, the blade harder). Low with millstone will grind the sharp edge.
You can do with bamboo instead of hardwood knife, but when grinding, only need to wear off the inside of the bamboo, and leave the outside part, because of external bamboo is very hard, the blade is as hard as possible, of course, also need only when baking.
Do with a bone knife need to find a suitable bone, such as deer or similar form animal leg, a hard surface and a heavy object is used to broken bones, a do handle with wood and banding material.
Steps are as follows:
Do with stone knives, need a sharp edge of the stone, chisel and plane (chisel edge is a bit dull, used to remove small stones, plane head is pointed, used to cut BoErPing small pieces). Chisel can be made of wood, bone, or metal plane can use bones, antlers of tip fork, or on the soft iron to do it. Knives ready then tied to the handle.
With a metal knife, USES the basic metal machining method can —
Looking for a piece of soft iron, shapes and poor knife is far don’t want to do (if possible).
Low put soft iron in a smooth, hard surface, then the hammer hit the shape you want.
“Put the soft iron on the rough rock grinding blade and pointed.
Low tied to hardwood handles.
If you want to do a spear, partly blamed production same as the blade manufacturing method, and then —
When choosing a lever 4 to 5 feet (1.2 ~ 1.5 meters) long spear a little tree (straight), length must be moderate, easy to use and effective.
The finger with spear handle tied together.
Other emergency weapons
Bola is another kind of easy to make field emergency tools, running in capturing prey or particularly effective when low flying birds.
Using a bola, hold the center of gravity knot, overhead rotating bola, then make it fly to the target. After you let go, aggravating the rope will be dispersed, the rope will haunt you hit the birds or animals, could not move.
Rabbit stick can be used to kill small animals, it is a flat, curved sticks, similar to the dart. Looking for a natural a 45-degree bend dull branch, and then made both sides like a dart.
Strapping material
There are some natural strapping material can be used, but don’t neglect nearby artificial materials. For example, you can open a cotton woven belt, the income of cotton woven into a field emergency with strong rope.
If there is no artificial materials available, then go looking for natural materials. Some inside the stem bark, such as the bodhi tree, elm, walnut, white oak, mulberry, chestnut, redwood, white fir – can tear into thin woven rope, the rope is done carefully check whether strong enough.
Muscle (tendon) is one of the best material for binding of small objects, the rope need to use larger beasts,
Such as deer muscle to produce. Production steps are as follows:
drill
In the back will teach you how to make a bow and drill to make a fire. With the same drill, plus a bit can drill. You can use the flint or iron to do bit, will be on both sides of the head and grind the sharp, then bit firmly tied to the front end of the drill pipe.
