• Outdoor/Camping - Heavier activites may include cutting rope or pruning branches. Also carried during hiking/backpacking.
• Hunting/Fishing: These knives will be perform more specialized tasks such as filleting or dressing game.
• Tactical/Survival: This will be the most heavy-duty knife that can be used for every type of survival situation
• Collectible: Limited edition, custom, or older out of production knives. Typically for display only.

What type of knife/special features?

• Type -  Knives come in two basic types, fixed blade and folding. Depending on your intended use, do you need a blade that's always out and ready, or is a compact, easy to carry/store knife (with a sturdy locking blade) all you need.
•  
• Features - Teh available features of a knife will vary greatly with its intended use. Some of the more popular features available are, single-handed opening, light weight, blade thickness & style (cutting, skinning, gutting), saw edge, degree of sharpness

Materials of Construction?

Handle - The handle material will be most dependent upon your intended use. A simple plastic or wooden handle may be acceptable for the occassionally used indoor/outdoor knife, while a textured composite handle, for a no-slip grip in wet conditions, would be better suited for hunting and survival situations.
